These fucking geniuses. That is hilarious.

Candidates who DON’T promise to aggressively detrumpify, with Nuremberg characteristics, have a very good chance of me knocking doors to ensure they are defeated.

There is a Russian Imperial 'deep state' but not in the sleeper agents sense - simply the sense that, blame it on geography or culture or collective memory, Russia has a tendency towards territorial imperialism just as the US can't help but swing wildly between isolationist and crusader modes

Every time Owen and his ilk write something about eastern Europe and especially Russia, it's time to wheel out this oldie

Wow. a whole family of degenerate shitheads. Maybe there IS something to this eugenics, after all.

So Dennis, when you shake your head, what do you hear, rocks rolling downhill? The soft sussurus of wind in the pines? A dog howling mournfully in the night?

Thank you. Believing Trump or his regime has “policies” is pareidolia.

As pointed out by much brighter lights than me (Jim Henley?), the conjunction “but” is used nearly always to discard or diminish or deny the content of the first clause. To extract the writer’s meaning, reverse the order of the before and after clauses.

we used to park up by the admin building and watch the ravens overhead. Back in the seventies i knew a guy who came from Enfield. It's to me a wistful magical place. The story of the last evening before they let the water in particular.
