I'm all for MAGA visiting war zones. Take lots of cash!

Trump is encouraging Americans to visit Lebanon—despite his own administration warning U.S. citizens not to travel there “for any reason.”

Let me guess - the Lebanese tourist industry recently deposited a fat check to him

Remember when Lebanon was a tourist destination? I wonder what changed? Hmm, maybe a certain group of people immigrated there after the failure of Black September?

I'm fine with there being 34 candidates in Clacton because of Ofcom rules: If any media interview Farage they have to give equal time to each of the other 33 candidates. And while Count Binface was ratings gold before the ballot became official, the other 32 candidates um...aren't. Plus, who the hell wants to interview three dozen people? So essentially Farage has been silenced, which also has the effect that as Burnham takes over as PM his #1 opponent has disappeared from the airwaves. The downside is this might lead to a resurgence of the Tories.

Has the Tory party formally endorsed the Count? That would be epic trolling.

I don't think any of the parties have endorsed him. I think they are trying to publicly ignore the circus while privately enjoying the spectacle. The closest has been the announcement of Farage stepping down at MP with the minister in charge saying, "If he wants to spend the summer arguing with a man with a bin on his head, be my guest."
No party should endorse him. That just plays into Farage's fantasy that Count Binface is the "establishment candidate."

Yeah, fun as it would be, I agree.

Yeah, this is some surprisingly astute political tactics from the other parties. By staying out of the race they make the whole thing look like a farce and it focuses all the attention on Farage’s scandal.

Fair.
