    I'm guessing your accent is the correct British accent?? I think there are several, as we have here.... Only one I find kinda annoying is the cockney.. I guess when ya'll deported all the ppl to Australia most of them had that accent as well?? To me they sound pretty similar.....

    I love to listen to different accents & wonder how they evolved, like in Jamaica, many word accents~pronunciations seem to have derived from an Irish, rather than English accent..

    Thoughts??

"His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    I dunno what you mean by group think....... But if it is important to you reply about it or PM me.

    Yes, I cred trump for realizing it & have said so several times.

    I am not on his team, I owe the MF nothing.. I give him cred for what he recognizes, but for what he is actually doing about it not so much..

    & I temper that, as I really don't know what he can actually do about it, short of maybe war & that is a roll of the dice of course w/ everyone a loser..

    What do you think trump can & should do regarding the rise of China~ Asia??

    Other than following trump what the UK doing about it??

    You are making assumptions based on an entertainer's jokes or criticism about the president.

    No president- NO PRESIDENT is immune to jokes or criticism.

    So Donald Trump and his ass kissers need to grow up and start getting used to it!

    However, it's almost too late, as this president is just about done and will soon just be a bad spot in American History!
    Yeah I remember them making all those Obama jokes... NOT!

    Rolling back Huawei's stake in 5G for a start, BoJo has recognised that they are wholly owned by the Chinese state and pose a security risk. I would also hope that the Brits condemn in the strongest possible terms the Chinese attempts to take over Hong Kong. It is imperative that the West stops farming out silicon foundries and takes back that technology, Theresa May was truly shameful for allowing ARM to go to the Japanese, although at least the directors didn't sell out to the Chinese!

    Even though he should be.

    Let us begin here:

    Last Week Tonight May 3rd 2020:

    I always enjoy his humor even if I don't always agree with him. Oliver is often a lot more right than wrong.

    I was born in the East End, so can claim to be a proper Cockney. It still cracks me up every time I see Dick Van Dyke piss poor attempt at it. It's truly woeful, he claimed that the studio didn't give him time to perfect it. There were any number of English actors that could have done that without any coaching but there you go! I lost that accent a long time back to be honest, but it's still there if needed. The accents around Birmingham are always considered the worst by Brits, listen to this and you might see why?

    May I refer you to YouTube! Tons dude!

    The problem with you whiny-ass Trumptards is you spend more time letting Donald Trump control your thinking and getting over-emotional and your shit all-fired up about how the world is just a pickin' on him, when in fact, Jay Leno and David Letterman and Conan made wise-cracks about Obama making him the butt-end of their jokes every night dude for 8 years!

    In fact, each one of them said they hated the Obama era, because Obama didn't give them much to work with and they had to just make up crap and they really didn't like having to do that because people wouldn't laugh much- and just stare. Comedians rely on laughs- Not stares!

    SNL had to hire a series of Obama look alike Black comedians to conduct comedy skits on Obama. Every Saturday night dude.

    Perhaps you weren't paying attention.

    Obama got a pass because he was black. And the SJWism that has taken over late night, has made it completely unfunny.

    Sure they made lighthearted joke towards him, but its nothing compared to how they mock Trump and other republicans.

    It's just another media double standard. Some of it is business related. Seth Meyers said democrats have trouble laughing at themselves so SNL prefered to make fun of Republicans.

    Do you honestly think that all the crap coming from your side about Michelle Obama being an Orangutan or a Man was a break?

    It's racist dude, and he didn't get any breaks. The media was pretty harsh on him, his AG's and Secratary of State!

    Pointing out he's black and therefor was laid off on by late night is racist? News to me.

    Wow you think media was harsh on Obama? Guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
