Such a sad story, Dennett. It demonstrates how far the malevolence can spread when someone like Trump is given power. 100s of 1000s killed for convenience, political posturing over a global pandemic. All those US allies executed in Saudi following a boast from said Saudi's that they had Trump's son-in-law in their pocket. US democracy on a knife-edge. I suspect his path through life is littered with shattered friendships. I'm so glad the midterms seemed to signal a bit of a fight back - hope it's going to be enough!
