I can't stomach reading beyond the headline because I know he's full of steaming horse hockey pucks!

@crispius excuse moi? Our former PM who set up the CPC and various provincial con parties to organize and conference with Trump GOP, wants to destroy the EU by cozying up to the likes of Orban, and is literally bought by Oil and Gas folks? - yeah, no

@crispius

This has always been the call of the Republican/Conservative folks: "Just come over to the right! Concede some of your human rights! We need to join together in order to throw off this threat, and the best way to do that is to throw a good chunk of the citizenry under the bus!"

Fuck the lot of 'em, and after the last 20 years not a single one of us should fall for the Blue's siren song.

@crispius He's an ass, always has been. And he's a has-been.

Another thing that's sus: Why has he been in three headlines in the past week?

@ZenHeathen
I guess it all stems from this portrait unveiling, which at first glance seemed kind of gross, but I guess it’s a thing. 🤷‍♂️
@crispius Ew, portrait. Glad I didn't see that. I guess it's four times, then.
