NEW: We need to talk about Russia.

So, yes, that's why we need to talk about Nigel Farage.

My personal newsletter on the story behind the story. Brexit, Trump, Russia & now...Nathan Gill.

It's not just that Trump needs to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment

It's that in a sane world all his gullible, culpable bat-guano-brained followers would be removed under their own 25th Amendments as well

How do we allow these disingenuous people to continually get away Scott free with their lies and falsehoods?
Nobody seems to pay the price any longer in politics.

An old director I worked with used to say: "You can write, block, time, direct, and perfect every aspect of comedy. But some people just have a comedy multiplier."

Keaton just had whetever that is; that unteachable, undirectable multiplier. She made the mediocre, good, and the good, side-splitting.

Nigel Farage says something needs to be done about about Second Homes to stop them from destroying tourist villages.

It's another lie, because Farage has a Second, Third and even Fourth Home.

And he will never tax himself.
