    Never forget. This man asked people to vote on . Without defining what Brexit meant. Without carrying out any projections of consequences. All in an (unsuccessful) attempt to settle an internal Tory party feud. He then knighted all his mates and f***ed off into the sunset.

    So is a troll farm, not a person.
    The Philip Cross Affair - 133,612 edits to Wikpedia have been made in the name of "Philip Cross" over 14 years. That's over 30 edits per day, seven days a week. And I do not use that figuratively: Wikipedia edits are timed, and if you plot them, the

    If people would admit that presidents Obama and Bill Clinton were also heartless tools of the wealthy, the Trump and Bush years (utterly disgusting though they are) wouldn’t be so shocking to them.
    My parents are 95 and (nearly) 99 years old. They’ve been married 72 years. They lived through the Great Depression and WWII. I asked them if they had any regrets. Yes: that they won’t be alive to see Trump’s successor restore America.…

    As is the Russiagate norm, the end of this story undermines it entirely: "They did not discuss the project further. In his statement to the House Intelligence Committee, Cohen said that Sater 'constantly' encouraged him to go to Russia and that he declined to make the trip."
