    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.

    You mean he is not a genius like the last one, or two or three

    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

    But couldn't match Trump's economic growth, so if the proof is in the pudding...

    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.

    Thank God for that. Hope you recover speedily. I do know that those open heart affairs are not fun.

    what is not fun is sleepless nights in the ICU and CCU

    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.

    I've never been there, but I can imagine it is tough.

    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

    I think that is standard practice. They want you on your feet ASAP. I'm glad I'm not a nurse on a cardiac ward.

    "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.
