Sorry about the Twitter embed, but I couldn't find any video of this rally anywhere else. I wonder why?

Hey @CNN looks like London wants Trump! Maybe @realDonaldTrump should do a rally right now and once again prove MSM wrong!!

The last time I was in London I had a lovely chat with some Pro-Brexit folk, and my guess is that they are the same sorts of people who also support President Trump. I told them that contrary to what they may have read, there is significant support in America for Brexit. It is gratifying that the Brits are returning the favor.

I'm still trying to get bounced out of that sewer they call twitter, and while I have tried a variety of techniques, but absent the obvious stuff like "Learn to code," I haven't hit on something that is obviously protected speech (in a sane world) but will still get me bounced. I got some really good ideas last night from you lunatics, so I will try those and see what happens. To be honest, I read it less and less for anything except the occasional chuckle over some monumentally dumb shit pouring out of a Lib's mouth. But I'll get there...I promise! My Twitter Feed
