Arizona's Congresswoman Martha McSally is not doing many public appearances outside of her home base of support.

The original idea with the name Professional Agitator was to say fuck you, Donald Trump & Friends, you don't get to define the nature of involvement. I was never and have never been some paid outside shill sent by George Soros to alter the outcome of things for nefarious reasons.

Who would have thunk it? The loudest laughing jackal in Britain. The man who helped orchestrate ‪#‎BREXIT‬ and then promptly slinked away into the dark cold night, being laughed at all the while. This man is a pathetic spectacle and it was a damn pleasure to greet him with animosity and mockery.
