'But teen recollections from half a century ago is thin stuff.' Quote from Daniel Hannan.
I disagree totally, recollections from 50 years ago, certainly in my case are definitely not ‘thin stuff’. They are the things that made an irradicable impression on me – which is why I still remember them.

So, you expected him to tell the truth?
He's a lying toad who doesn't understand the concept of truth.

And also, because he's stupid, he doesn't realise there's evidence of his lies everywhere.

Some conditions are terminal & beyond the scope of therapy.

But the worry.

What is Congress doing?
Doesn't it realise what its powers are?
Or, horrible thought, are too many of them being enriched by Trump's shenanigans?
No, that can't be true.
Has he hypnotised them, blackmailed them?
What is going on?
It's not just the welfare of the US at stake, it's the rest of us too.

Have you read what he has been saying about people in my country?
Mayor Sadiq Khan for one - vicious and undeserved slanders on a mayor who had reduced violence, improved air quality & made London a better place to live.
But his surname is Khan & that's enough for Trump.

I pay my taxes & the NHS is paid for out of taxation. As a pensioner who pays virtually no tax my cancer treatment is as good as if I were earning the salary I had when I was a prime earner - and I don't have to worry.

He is destabilising the balance of power in the world.
Surely there are some responsible members of the GOP in Congress?
Remove the mad old fuck by whatever means you can before he blows us all up.

I wonder if Johnson realised the lasting damage lockdown would do to children. I think some sort of lockdown was probably inevitable, but was introduced without adequate thought & no plan was made to deal with the consequences:
effects of isolation
future school attendance
He was so irresponsible.

He's giving you due warning!
