It’d be better than what we did do: tell the public that anyone who said this hated them and Britain, and that they were themselves terrifyingly racist; then e.g. have Alan Johnson tell them they’re mung bean-chewing hippy wankers who should fuck off on TV, while our best-paid commentators cheered.

The U.S. government handed a 3-year-old to an abuser to torture him to death, and then his mother was allotted one hour for his funeral.

Iran knows a Strait beats someone not playing with a full deck.

Yup!

Every parent deserves the freedom to send their child to school without wondering if they’ll come home safely. Gun violence is stealing that freedom from too many families. #FreedomFromGunViolence #MomSky

Where’s Farage? He’s not been seen in Parliament for weeks, doesn’t hold constituency surgeries, cancels big TV interviews last minute & hasn’t been campaigning in Makerfield. Oh look, there he is!! Popping up to spread more racism & use the tragic death of a young man to draw attention to himself.

🇨🇾🇬🇧 POLITICO: Cyprus wants guarantees that future UK governments—potentially led by Nigel Farage—can't use Britain's military bases on the island for offensive Middle East operations without restrictions. The concern grew after recent Iran-related tensions and a drone strike near a UK base.

Mainstream media just want to say the words 'President Trump' 10 thousand times a day to give him an air of legitimacy. Then when they interview up and coming politicians they go to their GOP culture war talking points. Nothing about affordability, gas, food, rent, healthcare...

A nearly $1 billion contract. ONE full-time doctor for 800 detainees. Funny how there's always enough money for executive bonuses, shareholders, and political donations, but never enough for basic medical care. Human suffering is apparently just another line item in the budget. Disgraceful.

If this was put forward as a plot line for a book it would be thrown out for it’s lack of credibility 2 people dealing with Mandelson, using their personal phones for official business, have their phones stolen by ‘youths on bikes’ within 5 days of each other 🤔 www.politico.eu/article/nick...

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

Remember: Concerned Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, who was credibly accused of sexual assault. She can sit all the way down.

I know when we’ll see a lot of ‘em.

Donald Trump hates you. He hates everyone. However, he hates his supporters more than anyone. He resents them…because he needs them. For that…they get double hate.

This is so scary. I thought it was The Onion at first. Then I started reading it. SMH people: SMH - this is a real Whitehouse.gov website. Aliens.gov

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

President Obama Had Heart And Soul,Chump Is Heartless And Cold.

So the guy who repeatedly promised to release his taxes sued his own IRS when they got released, then made a deal with himself to drop his suit against his own agency if they agreed to pay off his co conspirators with our money is now reneging on the deal he made with himself? Do I have that right?

Pretty hard to find articulate, Trump supporting, so-called "conservatives" in California.

Another RFK Jr scandal in the making I suppose.

Please pretty please 🙏

Good grief. Dan Scavino posted simply: "Every journey has an end," in quotation marks. The Q-Anon crazies went nuts all night analyzing it for secret meaning and messages. www.rawstory.com/qanon-267697...

Gas prices are $6 a gallon and going up because Trump is bored and doesn’t want to do the work to end the war. That’s the actual truth.

George Roberts, a native of Canton in Baltimore, served in the War of 1812. He was considered to be among the “Old Defenders” of Baltimore. He had fewer liberties as a veteran in his old age living in a time of increased racial tensions than he enjoyed as a sailor at sea.
