Watch this savage speech by Emma Gonzalez today in Fort Lauderdale. She pulled no punches and took no prisoners.

What the viral video version of Emma Gonzalez’s speech misses is that the hundreds in the crowd were just as furious.
The mood here isn’t solemn – it’s seething. I can’t remember another shooting sparking such palpable anger. At least not since Newtown. https://t.co/825NHZnjPy

Trump shattered the moral authority of his Presidency during Charlottesville. It can never be restored. We live in the surreal world where the words of the POTUS have no meaning. His presence brings no comfort. He is an avatar of disunion, division; selfishness and immorality

Question for Trump's bootlickers:
If you really believe Friday's indictments "cleared" your 🍊🤡, then whom do you think Flynn, Gates & PapaD have flipped on?
D'ya think #Mueller took decades off their prison terms so they'll testify against some 25yo javascript programmer? 🤣

BATSHIT BREXIT BRITAIN
Please note: The best way for UKIP members to achieve UKIP's objectives is now to join the Tories to make Rees-Mogg's Hard Brexit lobby even stronger.

Disgusted to hear that UKIP have voted to remove Henry Bolton as leader. Democracy means voting once and living with the decision forever. What part of Henry Bolton don't they understand? #BoltonMeansBolton
