Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

“Down with the Tsar!”

Wow! Great news. Potentially successful defense system against the horrible Russian jet-powered drones. Go Ukrainian technology!

Questions I often ask myself: 1. Why would Vandamm build a secret airstrip on top of Mount Rushmore? 2. How did Blofeld manage to secretly hollow out the inside of a volcano? 3. How did Gavin Elster determine that exploiting Scottie’s vertigo was the best way to get away with murdering his own wife?

Billionaires keep explaining that ordinary Americans simply need to work harder. Excellent advice from people whose money earns more money while they sleep than most families will see in a lifetime. Maybe skip the budgeting lecture from the yacht. #WealthInequality

I’ve deleted Apple Maps and Google Maps and am now using MapQuest. Sorry I didn’t do it sooner.

Just a few hours later we find out that he's been announced as a Lord - and there's briefings that Andy Burnham will take steps that will create further destruction of our planet. We see once again exactly who Labour are. New face. Same party.

For some durned reason I’ve had the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein song “Pore Jud Fry Is Daid” stuck in my haid since this mornin’. Cain’t think why. youtu.be/Euq8Z4l6Iwk?...

Democratic Socialists have not been talking enough about the absurdity of Teddy Roosevelt replicants waiting in the hot sun to the sounds of “Hot Stuff” while waiting for Trump to speak the other day. All they want to talk about is affordability, equality, and taxing the rich!
