    If brevity is the soul of wit Imps, you have quite a bit to learn.

    The CNN reporter of the year 2014 has admitted to 16 fake stories though, funny he won the best reporter the same year as Don Lemon won the worst

    If Donald Trump announces he's abandoning building the wall and he's going to dig a canal instead it's because I keep tweeting to him that that's what the English did to keep the French out! :)

    Cadwalladr won all sorts of awards last year, despite there being more corrections than articles!!!

    Trump screwed the pooch by not pushing for the wall straight away, if he does not find a way of getting the wall started in the next year his2020 run will be over before it starts

    Let´s hope a mainstream Republican can get enough core support to return the Republican party to true Conservatism (Jeb Bush). Will still hope a Democrat wins the Presidential race though,(Joe Kennedy?)

    Well, she's the one who had a large part in getting out the news that Aaron Banks was lying about where the Leave EU funds came from, that he was offered cheap shares in businesses in Russia at the time he made his mysterious funds available, that he had multiple meetings with Russian embassy staff in the run up to the referendum (which Banks said was a single boozy lunch) and that Banks invited the Russian ambassador to watch voting results at Leave EU HQ.

    And, not incidentally, Banks has now been referred to the National Crime Agency for investigation. Largely because of Cadwalladr's work.

    I'd leave it a little while before I started crowing about her, to be honest.

    Given that our stupid politicians (with under a hundred days until Crash Brexit if they do nothing) have gone on holiday for 17 days, I suspect hostilities will die of their own accord over Christmas.

    If you throw a hundred stones a few might hit the target and 1 or 2 might even do some damage.

    That's why Me
    that's why Mexico offered them work permits and residence and 99% flatly refused, instead wanting to be a drain on the USA. They are seeking jobs, nothing wrong with that but very few are in fear of their lives. Watch them being interviewed, Central America has no jobs for them

    I think the Democrates will be too disorganised for 2020, and Creapy Joe Biden will be a worse selection than Hilary. Trump to win 2020 if the wall or spikey barrier gets built ( he has not spent the 1.8 billion from the last budget).
