Hollo you need to relax and look upon this as a grand experiment.

How should that relax me. Experiment, explosion, explanet, they all sound so similar.
This is no Relaxperiment!

Depends on what "great" means. You Americans were never too clear on that one. Although you always knew you were the greatest country on earth. Before Obama, of course, who dragged the country down by I still don't know what. I tend to forget we all laughed at you so hard.

Well of course, only a satisfied millionaire is a good public servant, so that makes sense. Just use the fat ones and feed them before, and then they ain't that hungry. Smart.

Which they do by digging out more coal and forcing the rest of the world to accept better deals and all that. Not Japan, though, as I think Trump fell in love with Shinzo Abe. Those Japanese are very polite people.



--- So much talk. And yet no one helped me with my Bannon question. Only one implication he would now kill me in my sleep. Which is ridiculous and frankly a bit insulting. I can take Steve Bannon, even in my dreams.

I now learned that in 2011 Bannon made a movie praising Sarah Palin... which looks like some kind of first attempt now. Donald is his Sarah 2.0
