Why is Hillary Clinton now in Star Treck?

Good grief! @DavidLammy's demeanour at the despatch box is like something from Jerry Springer. Uncontrolled, vulgar, ghetto. The first black Deputy PM is doing nothing to counter negative stereotypes!🇬🇧

DEVELOPING: Crooked Fed Governor Lisa Cook—Sloppy Joe Biden's hand-picked affirmative action disaster—is neck-deep in a mortgage fraud firestorm that would've put any working American in cuffs already. This hypocrite pulled the same sleazy double-dip scam as Shifty Adam Schiff and My 600-lb Life reject Letitia James: swearing under penalty of law that her Michigan house was her "primary residence" to lock in dirt-cheap 3% rates and tax perks, then flipping around just weeks later to claim the exact same thing on a Georgia property she never even lived in—while quietly hiding rental income from her Fed disclosures. That's not a mistake, it's bank fraud, wire fraud, perjury—straight-up felonies that carry decades in prison. And yet there she sits at the Fed, wagging her finger about "ethics" and "inclusion." This morning President Trump torched her on Truth Social with: "Cook must resign, now!!!"—and he's dead right. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte has already dropped a criminal referral onto the DOJ's desk—just as he did with Pencil Neck Schiff and Letitia James, both of which resulted in grand juries. If precedent holds, Cook can expect to see her scam brought before a grand jury any day now.
