Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.
Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

Reform UK will pledge to restore Britain's Christian heritage by preventing churches being converted into mosques, enacting mass deportations of illegal migrants and persuading British expats to return to the country Zia Yusuf, the party's new home affairs spokesman, said renewing Britain's Christian faith was vital to tackle the "crisis of meaning culturally" among ,young people and men in particular. In an interview with The Times before his first speech on Monday setting out his plans to be home secretary, he said Christianity was "core to the history and the DNA of the country". However, he said Britain was losing its Christian values because of the "sheer quantities of people that came to the country in a short period of time"
Zia Yusuf is a practising Muslim. He's currently fasting because it's Ramadan.
And he tells The Times this.
Everyone around Trump is mired in illegality and compromise. It doesn’t matter how nuts Trump gets, they will never admit he isn’t fit to be President, because he’s the only thing between them and a tsunami of consequences.

I’ve been on a lot of flights to some interesting places doing what I do, but that was BY FAR the most heart pounding landing. St Barth over the hill with some very interesting crosswinds today. Even the seasoned pilot said today was “interesting.”

Jim Radcliffe pissed me off, so I wrote this about the inconvenient truth of migration.
tl:dr - no, just fucking read it. Some basic mathematics - you know, COUNTING THINGS - might make you reconsider, you stupid twats.

I'm old enough to remember when the DOJ brought evidence to a grand jury and they were able to get indictments based on that evidence.
See United States v. Trump (DC and Florida)
What the fk has that to do with with why you are there..?
