Trump, in your face! Venezuela got the Prize, not you, war criminal!
Like you weren't allowed to attend Harvard and weren't committed to the renovation of the UN building.
Norway, be prepared for retribution. Tariffs?

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Donald was born into a crime family and raised accordingly. His brother couldn't stand it and boozed to death.

Letitia James is an American hero who's lived a life of service.

Donald Trump is an American zero who's lived a life of crime.

Wat Chan Taiwan Took
Walking around #Phitsanulok , I visited a street market and this temple. The city was my favourite, with food and nightlife, but also space to walk along the river in peace, something Bangkok seemed to lack.

The quite different support of Republicans and Democrats for their candidates.
Reps: agree to 90% of candidate's views, disagree 10% = great guy/girl for our course to win
Dems: agree to 90% of candidate's views, disagree 10% = horrible guy/woman for our course to be correct
