Trump: "Drug prices are going to be going down 100%, 400%, 600%, 1,000% in some cases."

Ricky died, in tragic circumstance.
Serious question, do you think the other people at the funeral thought it was funny?
Rooney was there, quiet, respectful of Ricky and his family…along with Freddie Flintoff, Chris Kamara, etc., etc.

If Fury thinks going to a funeral dressed like that is a ’joke’ he needs to get his head sorted out.
He’s a weapons grade asshole.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

I’m genuinely shocked.
Is there no one in his family who could have said “That’s no way suitable.”

It was Ricky Hatton’s funeral today.
WTF went through Fury’s mind that he turned up dressed like this?

Tyson Fury leaving church after Ricky Hatton’s funeral service.
Fury is wearing a brightly coloured suit, the pattern is 2 inch squares with what appears to be body parts (heart, lungs etc) printed in each square.

It seems that everything Peter Thiel doesn’t like is The Antichrist.

“Sorry, sir, this is the ten items or fewer checkout.”
“ANTICHRIST!”

“You can’t park there, mate.”
“ANTICHRIST!”

“Looks like there’s no money on your Oyster card.”
“ANTICHRIST!”
