Honestly, when I saw the thread title I thought this was going to be about the economy and how the balloon will pop at some point based of what Trump is doing.
As for the actual balloon of Trump, it seems pretty childish of the mayor to entertain allowing it. We've gone from take the high road to, what's the big deal. Trump is winning by causing people to compromise their normal acceptable behavior threshold just because he's a raging brain dead asshole.
This is what I thought . It's pretty childish. And the compromise their normal behaviour . I agree. When would this even be a thing. In a sane world.

The point being missed... is you can't deny a right to peaceful protest just because it may be in poor taste or not taking the high road... I think that's the point being made by our Swedish friend, the mayor shouldnt block it just because he doesn't approve of the style personally
Peaceful protest is VERY American, so thank you. He's incredibly embarrassing and if he feels any embarrassment about the balloon, which I don't think he's capable of, it's well-deserved. He puts babies in jail.

I understand that point because that s what the interviewer was saying. But did raise the point that would it be acceptable to do it for anyone else like the turkey president or north Korean leader. Just thought it a good talking point because it's not happened before

Tell your hero to return all the kids he signed off on stealing them from their parents , is that what makes American great to actually steal kids from parents at the border ...He's a dispicable human being and his supporters are deplorables ...

He’s also a narcissist. He does not like unflattering depictions of himself. It’s madness with a method.
To avoid confusion the balloon isn't being flown over the Houses of Parliament but in Parliament Square (public garden space across the road from the Houses of Parliament that is often used for protests) and the Mayor isn't the only person who had/has to give approval they also have to apply to the Police and Air Traffic Control.
I don't know if it is the right or wrong thing it was given permission but I guess they would have needed to find a rule that it breached if they weren't going to allow it.
My understanding is that the people who crowd funded the balloon thought the only way to get Trump's attention is through a hit to his ego. Standard protest has no effect on him.

So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
When it comes to Trump I am willing to just ride his presidency out...
Realistically, we probably don't have a choice but to ride it out. At the same time, many of us will take every opportunity we can to express our disdain. We're feeling car sick/ sea sick from this ride.

midterms are only chance to push impeachment. elections will be hacked. 2020 will be hacked. Trump is here until 2024 or beyond because we will probably be in WW3 at that point. And of course, he's the best since FDR, so why not?

Just thinking about Trump being reelected makes feeling car sick look like a walk in the park. Nooooooooooo!

If the economy stays good like it is then he will easily get reelected. People won't vote out an incumbent and I don't think any other political party can organize well enough to unseat him.

Trump and his people couldn't acknowledge respect if it kicked them in their saggy nutsacks.

You'll need 2007/8 Obama organizing for that.
