Pedophile of the United States. Look at how pathetic it looks.
OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

"I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life."
Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files.
Trump told him three times: "I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life."
This video was deleted from twitter yesterday, you know what to do

The PM has announced a review of lobbyists activities in Parliament House - that's good - but the review will only canvas the opinions of insiders who work in govt. The inquiry should be open for public submissions. It's the people's House & the people should have some say in what goes on within it.
