Look what I found. Trumps own mother says it.

Let’s get it trending.

This woman isn't an illegal alien.

She isn't black.

She isn't a Democrat.

She's the Republican County Clerk of Mesa County, CO.

And she was just convicted of a 9-year prison sentence for hacking voting machines.

She did it to help Trump, driven by his big lie that the election was stolen.

She was caught using her power to subvert Democracy, steal from the taxpayers, and undermine the rule of law.

Remember: MAGA is a cabal of criminals.

Every accusation they make against the other side is a confession.

The best interviews are the ones in which all the interviewer needs to do is remain calm and wait for the interviewee’s inevitable self-own.

Just look at these WhatsApps from a private school parents group…

If only the wealthy would mobilise this well to help others

Not just themselves.

Why is this not front page news? The sneaky bastards.

This must be a very rare occurrence?

Good old @SouthWestWater always dependable, always reliable, always crap.

Highest water bills in England, customers living under a hosepipe ban since last August and this morning dumping sewage into huge swaths of if not most of Cornwall and Devon. Ho hum.

Billionaire former minister in Hosni Mubarak's Egyptian dictatorship donates £5m to the UK Conservative Party, to help it win the next election.
It's approved, it's legal, and it's rotten to the core.
The UK's political system is institutionally corrupt.

No sooner do we release this film than the police send intimidatory letters to protest groups, warning that they can now use the monstrous new powers Sunak has rushed into law. Freedom and democracy are being trashed in front of our eyes.

@WiWildlife Hi Steve, Sossusvlei in the dunes amongst sparse vegetation where they were feeding. It's a fantastic country. I hope you enjoy it.
