Trump said last night that it would’ve been “terrible” and “horrible” if he’d tried to have Hillary Clinton prosecuted after the 2016 election.   Which makes it all the more notable that Trump tried to have Hillary Clinton prosecuted after the 2016 election.

New today: given Senate Democratic inertia, Biden should avoid repeating the Obama administration’s big 2016 mistake and simply tell the public what the government knows about Trump’s foreign collusion.

Sat at the dining table, I came out to my family that I'm gay. Dad looked back & forth between mum & me with a grumpy face. He got up from the table & stormed off. I thought I was about to be kicked out of the house. When he came back, he handed £50 to mum, who said "told ya!"
