“In the National Interest” of the UK to boot him out?

Bunker Boy’s whining about foreigners printing mail-in ballots but actual foreigners at his rallies are A-OK.

Probably because they’ll help fill the seats

I’m sure the rally lived up to all his expectations. Totally worth it.

Trump and Farage fall in the same Venn diagram overlap of “facilitators of Russian interference in a national election”.

They may not take him back.

Trump must have needed someone with a gross big mouthed overbite to open his diet coke bottles. Maybe Nigel can give another speech to confused trump supporters in Alabama about how Brexit makes ‘murica great.

At least not without forcing him to remain in quarantine. Maybe for a few months. Or years.

Only, 24 hours from Tulsa.
Only, one day away from Trump’s arms.
He took me to the rally
he asked me if I would stay
I said, OK.

How is this appearance by Farage playing back in Britain?

From the Independent:

’ Under the UK’s new quarantine policy, any person arriving in Britain has to self-isolate for a 14-day period in an effort to prevent the transmission rate of coronavirus rising in the country.

In response to Mr Farage’s post, the former Conservative cabinet minister David Gauke said: “Suddenly, the UK’s quarantine policy makes some sense”.’
(cf https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/nigel-farage-us-tulsa-donald-trump-coronavirus-travel-ban-a9577406.html)

So, he’s supposed to isolate now when he gets home. That’ll do him good.

I care because in that first pix/tweet he sure as hell ain’t in OK with those palm trees in the background, nor would that be in merry ole England. So WTF is he?

Has an overbite that would enable him to eat pumpkins through a fence.

Fair question.

I care about this part:

DHS did not answer TPM’s questions about why attending a Trump rally is in the national interest, or who designated it as such.

I’m old enough to remember when we actually would catch Nazis who had emigrated here and expel them back to their home nation.

“National interest?”

Sounds legit.

I suggest we send him half way back. The pommies can pick him up from there, if they’re interested enough…
