the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

Listen all I’m saying is that I remember six little years ago when we were told that Corbyn living in a £1m house was evidence of vast wealth. I know inflation’s been wild since then but I simply do not believe that we’re now in a world where owning a property worth £2m is somehow standard
