The Brits also thought pretty much that about W. Why is it that Americans are so easily fooled by these low I.Q. people who run for the gop? tRump us not even an ADULT, he acts like a spoiled child. Maybe this is why he suits the gop so much.

. . . I’m not saying I regret the Revolutionary War, it had its benefits no doubt. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t envy the ability to cut a man down with vicious wordplay like the Brits do. Yeah, we got our freedom and it’s been pretty sweet, but we left our awesome accents and serpent tongues back on that island.

called the Scottish Regiments known as the Black Watch for their
dress and because of the kilts they wore and their fighting prowess,
the Ladies from Hell, and the Scots are rightfully and damn proud of
their finest.

Glad to see they are keeping up with the tradition!

They sure wouldn't like a Nazi very much.
