I am really convinced that the REPS have alreaday come to the conclusion that it will be easier to lose in the midterms than to fight trump head on. They are cowards and as such do NOT deserve to be running this great nation.

Guessing that if you say those things to a Reform supporter you’ll be told they’ll stop the boats/end immigration & scrap net zero. The one probably impossible the other beyond dangerous & beyond stupid.
If ReformUK get into government next time then we can kiss goodbye to:
Paid holidays
Sick pay
Safer working conditions
Human Rights
Workers Rights
Unions
NHS & healthcare
Social care
Minimum wage
Among many other things.
Every person who knows a Reformer should have the conversation!.

This is a declaration of War on Venezuela which is illegal as Congress has not authorized it.

FACT CHECK: Trump’s mother and two of his wives were immigrants. His grandfather was even kicked out of Germany for dodging military service. And back then? No visas, no vetting — the Trump family basically just walked in like it was Costco sample day.
