Then he added that he visited Czechoslovakia for 6 to 8 weeks ever summer during the 80's and he would have to stand in bread lines. I don't believe it and I am not surprised that he didn't mention that when his father was in office store shelf were a lot more empty at the beginning of the pamdemic. People have been posting photos of empty store shelfs with the caption - Thanks Biden but most of those photos are from years ago when Trump was in office. Cheers! less

We just got a call from him and he let us know that they sold their house in BC and moved to Nova Scotia and bought 5 acres of lake front property for $10.000. The only bad part is they are now a 6 day drive away from us instead of 8 hours. Cheers!

The medal is one of the nation’s highest civilian honors and past recipients include George Washington, the Wright Brothers, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, the Navajo Code Talkers, the Tuskegee Airmen and the Dalai Lama. To which one of the persons above-named would you equate Prince?I suppose congress doesn't have anything important on which to focus their attention. less

I grew up on a farm, so I could answer questions about agriculture and livestock. My work experience is in truck driving, dispatching, safety and permits, so I could also authoritatively answer trucking questions. less

(My employer could not have been nicer in his treatment of me with the termination. He knew I was trying hard to do well for him.)I see the challenges of the jobs and I also see how often "we, the public" treat these workers in incredibly disrespectful ways.
These jobs are not so easy that anyone can successfully do them.

One of the supporters claimed that Donald Trump is still running the country from the WH and he is still in charge of the military. Then Tapper said so I guess that means if Trump is still running the country and he is in charge of the military he is responsible for the Afghanistan pull out - after a long pause the supporter said - um no. If Trump was still running the country and he was still in charge of the military he would of been in charge of the Afghanistan pull out so I think it is a example of Trump supporters thinking they can have their cake and eat it too.

She was telling viewers some things they could do in the fall to enhance their gardens and trees next spring and she pronounced the word 'foliage' as 'folage. I wanted to reach through the screen and choke her.
