The interview experience?

The man is a laughing stock. The outgoing president is a blabbermouth & delusional. He really needs to be in a mental hospital, not the White House. No wonder Xi is sneering at him. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so dangerous and depressing. People are being killed, starving to death - and this?

I much prefer the deep state to his shallow state. It says that the video was "paid for by the U.S. government", which would be a misuse of government funds. For all he cares. He's an out-and-out robber, extortionist, embezzler, vandal, felon, incompetent, delusional, killer and maimer of innocents.

Ukrainian civilians heroically ride bicycles, evading landmines while under Russian bombs and drones, to retrieve food and aid for others left behind in Russian-occupied Oleshky. About 40 children remain, while most of the other survivors are elderly people.

Interested to learn the term "Harvest Moon" only starts being used in the 18th century Coined, I guess, out of nostalgia for a seasonal, rural calendar, as people increasingly lived by the rhythms of industry and the city? Here is Samuel Palmer's lovely Harvest Moon from 1833

Men and women in pale clothes, faces hidden by their work, cut and stook a field of high, ripe corn. Full moon looks over them from between the treetops. A few large bright somewhat Van Goghy stars at top right.

And you don't have water meters there, as water is still free, I think - no? We can turn off the water at the water meter which is outside in the front garden. It's not easy though as the mechanism is two or three feet below ground level.

One of the questions was to say that someone else came to him with the idea to remove bestiality from the disqualifications, and it wasn't Patel who came with the idea. The question that should have been asked then was WHO CAME TO PATEL with the suggestion? Or was it a demand or an order?

I could say he'll have to be dragged out of the White House kicking and screaming but that sounds a bit cruel. The men in white coats should tell him they're taking him to a place where he can talk non-stop about himself and meet Napoleon, George Washington and The Holy Ghost et al.

Uses for the White House Ballroom. Mr Trump, the outgoing president, has shown that he really loves wrestling and wrestlers. Remember that one he called so good looking he could be a model? Okay, the ballroom could be used for wrestling events! I think Mr Trump would love to hold wrestlers' balls.

About that ballroom, has anyone asked Trump if he intends to hold a lot of balls. I think he would like to. He certainly talks a lot of balls.

I suggest that all social media platforms be treated in law as publishers and all posts be treated as submissions. The publication of such posts is the responsibility of the social media platforms owners. That will concentrate their minds.

Whenever El Presidente Trump is heard speaking in online apps, leave the app as you would a toilet some disgusting person was just in, till the air clears. This will pain the oligarchs who want to sell your time to advertisers. It gives them a reason they can understand to dump Trump. #TurnOffTrump

Mark Carney's speech begins approx 13:45 into the recording. When he speaks in French, a translator is heard until he reverts to English. He even has some German, which he translates himself (from Goethe). Key quote: "We are not fairweather friends." www.youtube.com/live/O3rQUpu... #MarkCarney
