I know who she is (think harry plopper) and don't care one iota what she has to say about...anything.

But she is influential to the children who read her books they are all now 18.

With all the problems England has, why does she care so much about Sarah Huckabee Sanders?

Has the special council investigated, if she violated the law and sent some money to Hillary?

I don't the answers to your questions...?

I place her in the 'entertainer' category, meaning such opinions espoused by them is roughly 99.9% leftist.

Is she particularly influential?

Maybe, but she will speak out her garbage without fear of being criticized as the U.K. is now dominated by the left.

However, I'm not going to be anxious about what a twit writer (including people like stephen king) here in the U.S. have to say.

Creepo leftists will speak and so will Conservatives.

It's the way of the world.

I nearly threw out my daughter's Harry Potter DVDs after JKR complained after the Brexit vote that she wished magic was real so that Brexit could be reversed. Another example of one of those left wing snobs who once they have their hundreds of millions quickly forgets how ordinary people live.

Funny how the super rich leftists think they need to help fix the other places still intact, after they have ruined their own.

She excels in the world of make believe, so I completely understand why she would think her opinion has more weight than your or mine. Maybe she could drum up some magic to make criminals follow the law....

When the US government tries to influence foreign politics, why shouldn't foreign governments try to influence US politics?

When US citizens comment on sociopolitical events and trends in other countries, why shouldn't foreigners comment on US sociopolitical events and trends?

G.G.,

Which way are your comments politically leaning?

Are you saying other countries get to have their 'fair share' of political comments regarding the U.S.?

G26ster,

Maybe...maybe not.

Not necessarily this person, but some arrive here and start off sounding like moderate or harsh Conservatives and then slowly reveal themselves as otherwise...

I'm in the middle of Greg Jarretts "The Russia Hoax" and in it he reveals how hillary hired a foreign agency represented by christopher steele to mine 'opposition researach'.

This was a big fat lie.

It wasn't 'opposition researach'.

It was a total fabrication to slander President Trump.

There's some foreign influence...at it's worst.

With our decentralized voting I fail to see how any foreign entity could have a significant impact, even the different cities in Texas use different machines, the machines themselves are not connected to any central computer, the biggest issue I see is inept or corrupt (florida) election officials!
