Not something I would wish on anyone but in this case an exception can be made. This guy is so out of touch with reality, he still thinks he's on the Apprentice. If he only has a mild dose, when he bounces back, he's gonna crow long and loud about Covid being a pussy disease and only whimps will die from it. That is his way. I used to respect previous POTUS's but this guy is turning it into a Sideshow Bob cartoon.

If you had been around as a kid when the Bond movies came out you would most probably  have been a fan.

Wow that's sort of a dumbfounding snippet. I bet there was next to no one there, watching them either.

Can't believe it. He's an Italian icon, despite playing for Juventus and being banned for match fixing (he always maintained he was innocent).
One of the best goal poachers ever to play the game, he was known for scoring occasional screamer. WC champion in 82 with one of the best Italian national sides ever, he will be missed
