G-20 Riots in Hamburg

Because English is the unofficial international language.

But also-- do you not get that many of the protests are directed at the US in general, and Trump specifically? He is so incredibly hated overseas. The protests do no good if Trump/Americans/the American press can't read the signs.

Hmm... I’ll remember that when so many on this site claim that it is not necessary for illegal immigrants coming to the US learn to speak English.

I also wonder how many of those protesting actually traveled there from the US. Funded by who knows who here in the US.

And, as for your statement about Trump being hated.... he was pretty well received in Poland.

Protesting provides good paramilitary training for Eurooeans to deter the flood of immigrants.

Because a lot of the posters here are not from DC or are probably parents at all. They're probably dumb f*ck flyover state folks who have never traveled, don't speak other languages, but somehow stumbled on to this forum. They are definitely not smart.

Could you please stop with the idea that everybody who lives on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts is smart and cosmopolitan, and everybody who lives in between is a dumb hick? I know for a fact that neither is true, and you should know this, too.

PP is correct, sorry. If you live somewhere other than the northeast or west coast, you ARE a dumbf*ck hillbilly assclown. This is universally true. Sorry if that means I'm condemning your uncle Conrad in Tennessee or your sister in Minneapolis. If they're progressive, they should've flowed charted that they needed to GTFO of flyover country a decade ago. Now there's no excuse. Everything and everyone between the northeast and the west coast needs to get nuked into not existing, and I hope North Korea can finally accomplish that for us. It's the only way to get rid of these ignorant a-holes

I think it's totally possible that some kind of organized PR squad (Russian, Republican, pure abstract trolls, enemies of Steele, etc.) is trying to disrupt conversation by posting otherwise reasonable conservative posts in ways designed mainly to get liberal people angry and make it seem as if holding a civil conversation is impossible.

I think it's also possible that the same folks come up with absurd posts that look as if they come from liberal people, to disrupt conversation that way.

If this is a post from some kind of organized troll: Good job.

If this is a sincere post: There are really good and bad people everywhere, good and bad ideas everywhere, and a mix of red and blue voters everywhere. Even in places where, say, Trump wins by a landslide, that usually means that at least 15 percent of the voters are Democrats.

Even the bluest precinct has plenty of Republicans in it.

You could even say that Trump even won because he performed the liberal task of pointing out that a lot of moderate-income working people feel really screwed right now. Trump ran on a GOP version of John Edwards' playbook.

The idea that liberals should give up on most of the United States, or that conservatives should give up on the coasts, seems pretty extreme.

If, heaven forbid, we have a red-blue civil war, that will be horrible, but it won't be easy to hide from that just by moving, because the conflict is woven into the fabric of life. We have different views because different ways of thinking work better in some situations than in others. Sometimes having kids with what we think are weird ideas keeps our line going. Trying to avoid and fight diversity of opinion is like trying to fight the fact that we have an instinct to eat food.

This is the story that's told too often:



When you color the map not by win or loss but instead by percentages you get this:



And when you adjust the districts by population density you get this:

You are projecting. No, the protesters aren't "funded to go there from the US." Nothing but paranoid delusional speculating on your part.

As for Trump's "well received in Poland" - sorry but the cheering crowd was bussed in. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/welcome-trump-poland-taps-old-communist-party-playbook-n776186

You have things completely reversed and are falsely accusing others of the things that Trump does.

Considering Bill de Blasio, mayor of NYC went to Hamburg to attend events surrounding the protests, one has to wonder how many others from the US felt the need to go.

He didn’t seem to be hated so much by the President of France, Macron. I guess you didn’t see him pushing through a crowd to position himself next to Trump for a photo shoot.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world-0/us-politics/trump-macron-handshake-g20-photo-france-leader-pushes-to-front-a7830036.html

After the world leaders assembled on a three-tiered riser for a class photo, the young French president could be seen pushing through the crowd to stand next to Donald Trump.

Protocol states that the most recently elected leaders must stand furthest from the host member in the middle – in this case Angela Merkel – yet Macron appeared to take this as an opportunity to zone in on Trump like a cruise missile. Not only did he stand by the US President, but reached out and grabbed him, before cornering him afterwards.

Alternative Fact. Did you read the caption? It says Macron was "honoring the tradition that says that those newest to office stay furthest from the center." That was Trump, who is new to office and thus placed on the very end, until someone directed Macron next to Trump on the far outside, since he was elected after Trump.

Are you already so tired of winning that you are watching videos of people being lined up for a photo op in order of seniority, and because a win because someone didn't refuse to move to their correct spot beside Trump? Are we really reduced to being proud of the fact that the French President is willing to stand beside POTUS for a photo op?

So. Much. Winning.

Trump is NOT "incredibly hated" in other countries. Its no more or less than any other US President. Stop with the Media Matters party lines, grow up and get outside and enjoy this nice weather.

You people are IDIOTS. You do understand the as a result of Trump's ineptitude and staff who have no idea what they're doing, we could spark a trade war. You like cheap sh*t at Walmart? These stupid actions have real world ramifications. Of course you don't get that or care

Lol, you're a complete tool. They riot all the time, this isn't because of Trump.
