(Mr Onion grows)
Dave's questions were the best and most poignant I've ever heard. The president's answers were in depth and not wavering one bit. Here is a little guy that was once on TV and a comic that has transformed himself into a statesman and hero to his people. He moves from bunker to bunker only contacting his wife and kids by phone. He visits combat zones and interacts with his soldiers directly. He has pleaded directly to the US Congress for help and even talks to a guy like Letterman who was duly impressed by him and at times fought back his own impulses so he could complete a meaningful interview. The president has some command of English but nuanced responses were delivered in Ukrainian with subtitles for us. Both participants wore translating earpieces. His interview program "My next guest needs no introduction." is available on Netflix.
So our former president has seen fit to issue a series of NFT trading cards for $99 each with his likeness in a variety of superhero guises. Now stop and think about this for a minute. This is the guy that wants to be the leader of our country, control our military forces and have command over the nuclear codes depicting himself as a comic book hero? Despite this boneheaded and self aggrandizing move, he still has many many die hard supporters. This is what I cannot fathom. Frankly I hope he continues with more crazy shit, the crazier the better. Maybe they will get the hint.
Also have revisited the Hulu series Under the Banner of Heaven. This is a murder mystery with strong LDS overtones taking place in Utah. The main protagonist is a devout Mormon detective that is presented with moral quandaries between his faith, the law and sound detective work. It was released earlier this year. Definitely worth a look.
All for now
stay safe
