Think about that.
This wasn’t MSNBC.
This wasn’t CNN.
This was Fox News.

Trumps 10 billion BBC lawsuit is about to implode. The BBC has just subpoenaed 47 different agencies including Trumps financial records and suddenly he has something to hide. This would be his second straight 10 billion dollar failure. The man can’t even sue correctly.

"Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately.
Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"
Mehdi Hasan, "We have the Geneva Convention"
"We have International Humanitarian Law"
"We have the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court"
"We have these metrics that were built up over the years, by the UK and the US; they led the world in writing these documents, these conventions"
"The European Convention of Human Rights, which everyone on the British right wants to pull out of, it was written by British lawyers"

"Austerity and Brexit"
Jeremy Hunt then has a mini meltdown
