Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Where are all the "revoke Shamima Begum's citizenship she's a traitor people" today, I wonder.
Nathan Gill; A traitor who was at the very top of Reform UK, aiding and abetting Russian adversaries, has been sentenced today.

Reform UK should be ashamed. Britain deserves better.

Rep. Eugene Vindman: " I want to start by condemning the president for calling for six Democratic members of Congress, all of whom are patriots who served our country to be hanged. It is the kind of thing we expect from a Saudi Crown Prince, not an American President."

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

I’m hearing disturbing news that Belarusian HRD Pavel Sapelka has been added to wanted lists in both #Belarus & #Russia, with charges unclear. This dangerous tactic targets exiled HRDs, forcing them to live under constant pressure, facing the risk of detention & extradition.

Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."

It never stops.
The grubby donations. The profiteering. The lobbying. The lies.
“In 2019-20, as the UK was leaving the EU, Harborne gave £10m to Nigel Farage’s Brexit party, since renamed Reform UK.”
They make damn sure they get what they want.
We get screwed.

Meiselas: This guy's a con artist. He's a fraud. He's quite literally a criminal. A felon. He lies. He destroys people's lives. He's a rug puller. 'Look, $23 trillion! Dividend checks are right around the corner! I'm gonna make you so rich!'

It is demented and it is manipulative and it is abusive.

I've done my best to explain the "earned settlement" policy announced yesterday, which will create a series of new tests that claim to assess "contribution" to Britain rather than granting ILR based on time spent in the UK alone

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"
