Yes sure, his family and all that swamp he brought to the WH to begin. But still a long list after that.

He is a good startIt would be great to see him swallowed by a blackhole

May I ask please ? I didn't understand well "off to greatest with you". I felt it is something nice. I understand word by word but not what the global meaning . Is it an idiom?

It is more specific to DU then.

It is the hardest part in a foreign language : the subtleties, the idioms, well, all the parts that makes a language so rich and so representative of a culture.

All in one, I find my way (more or less) but I stick sometimes with particular grammar structures or local idioms.

However, I'm surely doing some great damages to the language rules.

and, besides, sometimes it is fun to break the rules--and goodness knows, with that semi-literate buffoon squatting in the people's house, we have to come up with new language and methods of expression.

It is always pleasant to hear such appreciation

I'm not sure it will comfort you, our RW do as well as yours at throwing under the wreck, any rule of their supposed native language.

You'd rather decipher some primitive cuneiform writting than their...whatever it is...

Yes it is. I might wrong but I see another meaning too for not being invited. After the downgrade of his visit to GB, I feel like it is a subtle and quiet way to send a message.

Serious leaders won't deal with him. It might be interesting to see how much donors will bet on him...

They are generally not known for wasting money in worthless investment.

Make sure it's transparent.

This one I'm sure the world would kick in to cover part of the tab.
