1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Nigel Farage was screaming to scrap furlough because it was a waste of money, while he had already claimed Β£120,000 for himself.

He is a fraud every word is a lie.

The man behind donations of Β£200,000 to Reform is a church warden from Potters Bar, who just happens to work for a billionaire from Kazakhstan. But it's definitely not money laundering or interference in UK politics by a foreign national.

Trump says Republicans should β€˜nationalize’ elections The comments come less than a week after the FBI raided an elections facility in Georgia.

Trump knows the Republicans are heading to defeat in 2026, he also knows it will be a catastrophe for him if this happens. Therefore, he will try to corrupt the election. It’s simple logic. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
