Have a go at him by all means But don't suggest he shouldn't be allowed to speak up.

Apparently only right wing news has been able to ask questions during the Canadian and Israeli visits. Although after today's rant he allowed CNN and BBC (and he abused them a bit).

My organisation is like a fine tuned machine says mad old man.

He's just said he's going to go on and on like Thatcher.

Nuclear Holocaust, You'll all not love it. He's considered it though, and dismissed it for now.

Trump tweet "The real scandal here is that classified information is being given out by "intelligence" like candy. Very un-American." In fact the below article seems to say it is very american - from Deep Throat on. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-mcmanus-flynn-leaks-20170215-story.html

I was in a pub that had a big "Anti Valentines Day" sign and under it sat a rather depressed bloke alone. I enjoyed watching Barcelona get demolished. If I got a card I'd be scared I was the target of some North Korean Assassins.
