British woman stabs Trump baby balloon while shouting he 'is the best president ever'

Source: the hill



By Jessica Campisi - 06/04/19 03:35 PM EDT



The Trump baby blimp, which took flight in London on Tuesday to protest the president’s U.K. visit, was reportedly stabbed by Trump supporter Amy Dalla Mura, also known as “Based Amy.”

In a video posted to Twitter, Mura films herself walking up to the nearly 20-foot-tall orange, inflatable baby blimp and stabs it with a sharp object, prompting shouts from surrounding protesters.

“That’s a disgrace,” Mura shouts. “It’s a national disgrace. The president of the United States is the best president ever!”

Shortly before police arrive, Mura films herself walking away from the blimp, encouraging bystanders around her to take a look at what she’s done.

“I think Donald Trump’s balloon is not very well. I think it’s going down rapidly for a reason,” she says.

A spokesman for Trump Baby UK told The Independent that “a woman … punctured the mini Trump baby replica with a sharp object,” adding that “it’s not surprising that the far right would want to meet freedom of expression with violence.”..................................

Last night I sent the video to my friend who is an anglophile and she said there are tons over there as well. I wonder who they listen to for their "fake news" since there is no Fux Ruse in England.

about the leader of some other country.........well unless that person is just batsh*t crazy.

I mean if that leader is not a Putin but, as an example, a Trudeau, still why would anyone not from Canada give a sh*t.

Just as if it's his battle flag.

She was so high just getting attention and on camera, it appears she didn't even feel any pain after slashing her hand.

Based Amy also made headlines in 2007 when she reportedly cost rescue services more than 1 million pounds by staging at least 50 “cries for help” and throwing herself in the sea around Britain’s coast, BBC News reported. Mura was reportedly banned from being within 50 meters of the sea surrounding the British coast.

I think she would cost Britain much less if she were locked in an asylum.

Now she's 'Based Amy', I guess?

What is 'Based'?

Does it mean you smoke the freebase, or ?

While you're at it, can you clue me in on the "OBEY" thing?

RE: Based God

From Urban Dictionary:

A term coined by the American Rapper Lil B in reference to himself. A Based God is an individual that possesses maximum swagger, a mansion, sports cars, wonton soup and the inherent ability to f*** your b***h.


So, this Based Amy, as she calls herself, is a rabid UK Trump fan, who apparently publicly threatened suicide like 50 times ... who has chosen a moniker to associate herself with a rich, boastful, black (and apparently misogynist) rapper who hails from Berkeley, CA?

I gotta say ... that is some pretty f'ing wacky sh*t.

Falls into the "you can't make this up" category ...

I'd also guess she's rather severely lacking in mansions or sports cars, and possesses only minimum swagger at best.
