More madness, though somewhat laughable this time.

I'm deeply glad he didn't get the nomination. The stop and frisk was enough to rule him out for me, but I'm pleased it didn't set the precedent that the presidency is only open to the uber rich, that essentially it is for sale if you can afford it.

I know that it is looking likely that Trump was not the billionaire he claims to be, but at the time he still had access to a supply of cash that meant he could outspend any and all rivals if he needed to.

In fairness all of the pro myths about how good Trump would be as President like being able to run the government like a business to ensure efficiency would actually apply to Bloomberg as he showed it with NY already.

Not to say Bloomberg was my preference (that was Bernie) but I just don't think Bloomberg would have been a bad choice.

Some cheeky rogues (source Simon Hoare MP) had a wee scuffle (source BBC Laura Kuensberg) in Washington DC.

Bet she's the sort of person who has tutted at every Black Lives Matter protest and said the police should be shooting them as well.

I love the replies to the tweet.

Joking aside I'm honestly still reeling from that. Truly a low point in a career strewn with low points.

Yes comes to something when Jedward are telling you how to report and they are right!!

Imagine someone had shown you that tweet a year ago, it would have looked like science fiction. Why are they wearing masks, why did the votes need to be saved. You'd have so many questions.

Probably already been shared but possibly a good sign for the next few weeks at least

He just used the word "fight" twice after a day of violence.  Let's not get carried away.

To rub in her eyes, cause her to cry more and look more victimised.

Who randomly decides to rub onion in their eyes? I never leave the house without one just incase I need to get some attention. 
 

If you actually got some tear gas/cs spray in your eyes. Trust me you won’t need an onion!

Swinson got mocked for calling him out too:

I thought the dangers of Trump were pretty obvious, but Tories/right/Peirs Morgan seem to have lapped him up. Boris Johnson called for him to get the Nobel peace prize (facepalm)

Apparently onion near eye is believed to help fight the effects of teargas, etc.

Apparently a myth, as seen here:

But Elizabeth may not have known that and it seems a common fallacy. I wonder where you get a raw onion from at a revolution though.

This jackass spoke at Trumps thing yesterday, and is now claiming that it was ANTIFA that stormed the building and caused all of the trouble, which seems to be a common go-to for a lot of them now. Unbelievable:

The good news is it should be an open and shut case for any prosecutor. She gave her name, where she lived and her criminal intentions. Lock her up!
