I was slightly overwhelmed...

I wonder whether some just cynically exploit the situation, you know, like some of the televangelists who filled their pockets & sometimes committed crimes/abuses.

πŸ˜‚ Now that you mention it!!!

Those were precisely the issues.

You mean, like flea market finds? 😁

Naturally, I don't expect Trump to know this.

Venezuelan oil is so crude, it's barely usable, that's why none of the companies invited into the country took up the offer.

Tonight, I couldn't get past a double-parked car to get into my street, so the guy had to move it & now, it seems, I have to sell my car & hand back my driver's licence to wherever I won it.

Good point, of that we can be certain. Narcissists are about themselves; God is their rival.

Yes, of course, the man has no soul, he's all about money and getting rich, but I'm not sure that means he wants to rule for life. He does want to be re-elected, but bc the last defeat still stings his ego.

Now, I am agnostic, so I struggle with this in all kinds of ways, but we've seen these religious 'leaders' blessing Trump at the Oval Office and we hear military leaders saying he was anointed by God, and I honestly wonder: Do you think these people actually believe this?

Mh, I'm not actually seeing the connection, if I'm honest...

You're so very welcome πŸ˜‰πŸ˜

One of my best friends is a trained lawyer and vicar (& thus holds three degrees more than Mullin) and I still wouldn't put her in charge of, say, NASA (although she'd very like do a much better job at any job than Mullin & Trump together).

If your wondering whether average Americans feel any consequences of Trump's Iran war, here's an exact quote from an online chat during a US music radio show:

American #1:
"We went from $2.54 to $2.99 [for petrol] and they say it will jump again."

American #2:
"Ours went up to $3.19???'

If there's even a tiny chance one works on Trump, I'm buying them all.

What about warranty?

Certainly is. No apology required. Anything to help us through.

That's a *very* belated vindication for the good guys.

All of it, madness and for no purpose I can detect.

It's really rather unbelievable (sorry, pun) that in this day & age, there are so many who willing believe what's not just unproven (we all have something in our lives we accept w/o evidence) but actively hurts, robs, kills others. It's like enlightenment, science, history, progress never happened)

Not wrong, are they?

Vielen Dank. Ich fahre wieder mal unseren Luftfilter ins Krankenhaus, damit die Familie wenigstens im Zimmer geschΓΌtzter ist. Und Maske sowieso, wenn Andere hereinkommen.

In German, we say:

Agreed. And quite a few Republicans in Congress.

Im Gegenteil. In der Notaufnahme ca. 6 Patienten. Und das fanden die Schwestern 'echt viel los'!

Definitely, and feel of it, too.
