If he cannot even get the name correct, why should I believe his claims? <br /><br />Well I don't particularly because it seems pretty clear that ill-health has led King Salman to delegate day-to-day policy-making and decision-making to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who, while Trump was US President was reported to be very close to Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law. The cozying was there, Harris just got the players wrong. jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-85064199711225371682023-03-14T08:22:38.963-04:002023-03-14T08:22:38.963-04:00A point worth noting, jrk.

The problem with PPs anger is it has no humour or entertainment value. some American politicians have the act down pat, but PP not so much.

However, it is hard to stay angery all the time. It requires real energy. some people may simply be tired of being angry all the time and to what end. Some of those who are constantly angry also maybe loosing friends, family, etc. Its boring to be around some one who is angry all the time.<br /><br />There may also be fewer angry people around because anger isn't good for your health. You die younger.<br /><br />When PP goes around saying our country is broken, its laughable. We aren't being bombed into oblivion nor are our hospitals being destroyed by bombs, women can go outside without a head covering, we don't get shot to death or executed by those in charge because we disagree with them. There are a whole lot of places in the world that are in much worse shape than Canada and the U.S.A. Do we need improvement, YES. Are we a disaster? NO. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-33681983613183938452023-03-13T12:47:25.050-04:002023-03-13T12:47:25.050-04:00Touche Owen. I had to laugh!Touche Owen.
