    Thankfully, Mr. Biden will always, "choose truth over facts." Yep. You can't let those pesky facts get in the way of the truth. Or is it the other way around???

    He's a mental giant.

    I don't know the last time we had a genius in the WH. I also don't know the last time you had a genius as a PM.

    They all think they are geniuses, Trump certainly did, and I'm sure Krudd did, but at least ours can put more than two words together coherently

    28 years without a recession, he isn't in the same league

    Other than 2020, which saw the first two quarters have negative GDP growth, which is the textbook definition of a recession??? You do realize that there is a thing called the internet which can be used to double check claims???

    https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/gdp-growth

    And then there is this. "Speaking to reporters in Canberra, the treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, said this was “the first time in recorded history that Australia has seen two consecutive quarters of economic growth of more than 3%."

    Those two quarters amounted to the first time since 2000 that your GDP growth exceeded 2%. I wouldn't call that a "league" of all-stars. As I have said before, you make a good statement, but then go much too far with it to the point of simply being wrong.

    Yes we all suffered from a covid led recession, nothing to do with the quality of leadership, but we bounced back quickly meanwhile your economy is still in it

    And again, you are simply wrong. Our third quarter recovery was the highest in our history, and the fourth quarter showed positive growth as well. Do you ever check your data?? We are not in a recession. Now Biden might change that, but at present we are not.

    Australian hospitals don't let patients sleep either? -- chimes and bells ringing, doors slamming, cries of "help me!" bouncing off the walls, alarms going off, CNAs or nurses waking you up by flashing a bright light in your face at 4 am to check your vitals or merely to ask if you're awake.

    No uncooperative patients, beds that are diabolic and designed to have you squashed into a ball, uncooperative nurses who think that one day after a bypass you can lift yourself, outside of that Aussie hospitals are of high standard

    "Cuomo advisers altered report on coronavirus nursing-home deaths:"

    Probably dying a slow political death now. If it gets bad enough, then ABC and CNN might even pick the story up.

    I don't mean harvesting hay bales. I mean walking in any capacity you can. I know here that they want you up on your feet and kind of toddling along the day after the surgery. I imagine it's brutal but necessary.

    I was toddling along the day after surgery, the issue isn't getting out of bed, the issue is sleeping, rest is important in recovery and you can't sleep if you get in an uncomfortable position, There are however some lazy nurses

    The Biden administration finds about a hundred illegals trying to cross the border who were positive for Covid. Their response? "Send them on through! Nothing to be concerned about here." So they put them on buses to go...wherever. Pitiful.

    Seven women now have accused Cuomo of sexual assault, and yet our courageous twin presidents, Harris and Biden, are strangely silent. The three liberals on this board are strangely silent, and much of the news media is strangely silent. I don't know if he's guilty or not, but the seven women at least deserve a hearing, or better yet to have the man charged with a crime. It's just the ole double standard at work yet again.

    Biden is probably silent because a pretty credible charge was leveled against him as well, and that woman has never had her day in court either. So I suppose the lesson is that if you are a powerful liberal dem pol, you can get away with practically anything.

    Yeah, let's line them up. Kavanaugh is at the head of the line. (P.S. I could keep you up all night with personal and female friends' stories about unwanted and uninvited male sexual contact.)

    The leader with second place nowhere in sight is the former president DJ Trump. The white evangelicals betray themselves when they betray their Christianity for such a work of evil as Trump.

    OK. How many even remotely credible accusations were made against Kavanaugh? Zero. How many witnesses backed up Ford's accusations? Zero. Was Ford unable to remember a large number of important details? Yes. Was there a hearing/investigation about it all? Yes.

    As to Trump, I would be all in favor of an investigation into those allegations. If he is guilty, then he should pay the price. I feel the same way about Cuomo.

    You two just strike me as being so cowardly. You mention Kavanaugh and Trump, and yet never mention Biden or Cuomo. The charges against both are every bit as credible as those against Trump, but because of political prejudices, you don't mention them. Pitiful. And all Athos can do, as usual, is fall back to his racist, prejudiced mention of "white evangelicals". As is oftentimes the case, the only real racist, and the only one to bring up race, is the liberal dem.

    No problem. Trump lives rent-free in my head, and he will do so until he's finally in prison where he belongs.

    If Trump belongs in prison for SA, then how about Biden and Cuomo? Oh well. That's another question that will go unanswered.
