Marine Le Pen and Nigel Farage are old friends. They both took a LOT of money from the EU without doing any work for it. One of them has now been convicted of embezzlement. It would be interesting to know if the UK authorities have ever even investigated Nigel Farage. #FightFascism

JD Vance just might be one of the most despicable minions the world has seen. And when are you going to grow a fucking spine Rubio?
