Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

He’s the antithesis of a decent Englishman.
He’s sly, he’s divisive, he has, at best, a tenuous relationship with the truth.
His avarice for wealth and power knows no bounds.
Many of his acquaintances have friends who wish this country ill.
Yet, the ignorant fawn over him.

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

Did I just imagine that weird period where Boris Johnson, Brexit hero, was PM and designed his very own Brexit, to cheers and applause from the Brexit faithful?
Was that not a 'proper Brexit' after all? Is it not a proper Brexit until we're all out of work and no one speaks Polish on the bus?
