Let’s avoid the personal attacks shall we?
If you think your superior knowledge allows you a better insight into the events in the US, why not try - politely, rather than just trying to get people’s backs up - explain where we are labouring under misconceptions. You never know, you might be able to relieve us of those misconceptions.
Oh, and there isn’t a law against discussing stuff about which you have no direct knowledge - if there was the Internet would fall apart overnight 
sounds familiar… 
Nope around 1 year and then you will see how screwed the american folks are when Harris climbs on the chair.
Paul, the only personal attack came from you. MF didnt attack you or anyone else. You know the saying “If the cap fits” Maybe he has a “superior knowledge” of the goings on in the USA. We only get the dregs fed to us by the media. To your comment"trying to get people’s backs up", lets be honest, it isnt difficult on here where a simple comment is shot to shit by some people if it doesnt agree to them.
Sorry, where - I merely suggested that no-one was forcing Michael to read the thread after he jumped in with what was quite an aggressive post (in passing I notice that he contributed to the thread three weeks before apparently stumbling into it).
I don’t mind being corrected if I have the facts wrong, discourse with better informed individuals is a useful way of learning, but just to drop by and say “will you lot stop sounding off with your ill-informed drivel, you’re insulting my intelligence”, topping off with a snide “you know who you are” is just trolling and spoiling for a fight.
Paul, I didnt find any thing aggressive in what he said, in fact I thought it was a short sharp shithot comment to reality. In all honesty, some of the posters on here would fight with their toenails if they could, believe me I have both witnessed and suffered from it for perfectly harmless everyday language comments.
ah but Roger, you’re a tough talking northerner like me and no-one gives you shit
It’s the soft taking southerners who get offended most easily 
I learnt that from an early age when I moved from Manchester to Birmingham 
Very easily offended peoples 
Mancunians? Namby-pamby girl’s-blouse southerners - too soft to live in Northumberland!
But actually Paul is dead right - it was classic trolling - and Paul’s own social-media-etiquette was (as always) exemplary.
Careful… 
…never did see a comment or reply (amongst some other grumpy comments) on what this really meant ?
What it means is that us plebs aren’t allowed to give an opinion on Trumpety Trumpiness and bow our heads in honour of someone who is apparently an expert and understands him and everything about him. What a load of bollocks - ignore him and he’ll go away
Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian.
Yuri Shvets, posted to Washington by the Soviet Union in the 1980s, compares the former US president to “the Cambridge five”, the British spy ring that passed secrets to Moscow during the second world war and early cold war.
Donaldovich Trumpski, got a certain ring to it
Trump seems to have fallen out with is legal team.
Not that it matters - Senate won’t impeach anyway.
Sign of the times though - people willing to walk away from him now that he’s not president. Let’s hope many more do.
The Senate voted to acquit Trump 57-43, with seven Republicans (Senators Sasse, Romney, Burr, Collins, Murkowski, Toomey and Cassidy) joining Democrats on the charge of incitement.
The rest of the 43 self abusing, conceited, self serving, arse licking, blind bunch of arseholes acquited Trump, twats one and all.
And breath 
I’m surprised that many Republicans voted to convict.
