I am currently on a family holiday in Thailand, so have been forced to watch Fox News on the telly. To my amazement, even the most Trump supporting TV channel has turned against him this morning accusing him of being an embarrassment to the US nation.
Could this be the moment we see the worm turn against Trump? Fox is the channel that most of his base support turns to, after all.
Could Trump have finally gone a step too far?

All depends on how you look at it. Russia seems like a crazy country, but is that just because of selective reporting by the western media? I've friends who have visited various parts of Russia and said it's lovely if a bit run down in some places. On the other hand, that's based on a few days there so the reality may be different.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Fox are right back on Trumps side after they fall for his "wouldn't" instead of "would" statement. The entire country is full of idiots. As rasta says, i would much rather go to Russia than step foot on American soil again. That country is the most scummy country on earth.
It's common knowledge that Lionel Messi kept a photo of Hamish French by his bedside as inspiration every morning!

Isn't alot of the media in America criticising Trump though? Doesn't he often get lampooned and ridiculed on prime time comedy shows? Wonder if Putin would get the same sort of treatment from Russian media?
As Rasta says its a good little diversion for the Russian president from the growing discontent in Russia over the huge increase in the retirement age.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

I'd quite like to visit the states for a road trip at some point. Problem is I'm not keen on the idea of being shot at by some maniac. Is it really as mad as it seems, or is it like London where we're told you'll be knifed to death but really it's just a casemof avoiding certain areas.

I've been to the US a few times and I've never seen any bother but you just have to keep your wits about you.
My mate was from Baltimore and I went to visit him for a weekend and he was telling me it could get quite dodgy in parts of the town but everywhere we went to was fine.
I've also walked from the strip in Vegas up to Freemont Street which by all accounts is some of roughest bits of the town (I had no idea it was until my mates told me afterwards) and although you could see the area was poor, I didn't get any bother again. The attack that happened there could unfortunately happen anywhere but the chances of getting caught up on something like that are tiny.
If you research your routes so you don't end up driving up and down Compton or it's equivalents in other cities, 99999 out of a 100000 places will be fine.

Cheers LPF. Be a few years yet (wait until the kids are older) but starting to research early.

I spent a memorable New Year's Eve 2013 winding my way through thousands of revellers on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Obviously, in big crowds you have to keep your wits about you, but I felt quite safe commuting between the many live jazz and rock venues up and down the street. In fact, I had the best time.
Next morning, I heard that three people had been killed in the Quarter during the celebrations. I saw the odd bar fight, but nothing seriously amiss, so I guess it is largely down to bad luck if you randomly find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'm in Seattle at the moment and I've not had any issues at all. The only thing I saw was, when we visited the first Starbucks, a beggar dude outside were he offered me free butt sex, which was jolly nice of him, but I politely declined his offer and swiftly went into SB and ordered a caramel frappacino to cool down.

Haha! I did warn you about the beggars in Seattle... mind you, I never got any offers like that. You are obviously a bit of a hunk.

It's disconcerting in his company mate.
Beggars come rushing up everywhere we go with a cheeky smile and a wink.

We had that in Vancouver. Accidentally went to the wrong side of town (it's helpfully next to their old town and China town) and got followed by this guy who kept saying I was disrespectful to him by not stopping to converse with him.

I forgot to say it's amazing how far a Scottish accent will take you in North America 😉
And your welcome only takes.

Very true mate. We were at a museum (like beamish) in Vancouver, and we were chatting away, when an older woman came up to us and said that she couldn't help notice our accents. She then went on to say that she was born in Dunfermline. Small world
