    You know what might’ve helped to prevent this? If anybody had asked him a single question about how our government works while he was on the campaign trail

    Trump is, as we speak, telling a series of easily refutable, xenophobic lies to the American people. That does not seem to make people in the elite press as angry as calling him a motherfucker does. I do not understand that hierarchy of values.

    The slow walkback of the US withdrawal unfolds. How many bets that after we've all fired off hundreds of thousands of words over US retreat from Syria in six months time there will be even more US troops there?

    By popular demand, am planning another tour of an alleged “no go zone” with and later in the month. Which shall I examine?

    Heading to the White House to hear explain why he wants to keep the government shut down until American taxpayers pay for the wall instead of Mexico.
