Nothing says MAGA quite like seeing reports of Kash Patel being visibly drunk at the FBI and missing work briefings to sleep off his hangovers after going on drinking benders as well as using taxpayer dollars to fund his trips to UFC fights and golfing. I hate these immoral scumbags.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
