(72,703 posts)I thought the CNN commentator said it about Joe.
I was playing golf & got home and, naturally for me, put on The Food Network.

(17,718 posts)Joe responded to the reporter asking him to comment by simply saying "then why didnt he do it while he was president", and walked away.
One of the prisoners was held while tsf was potus. He did nothing to get him released.

(26,689 posts)I'm not online all day, 1-2 hours in the morning, then maybe when I'm having a bite to eat for lunch (like now) and in the evening for an hour or two after dinner.
So when a post just gives an opinion without any relatable info, it's frustrating. Sometimes a response post will fill in the reason for the post, sometimes not. So I just delete and move on.
Don't see why the initial poster doesn't give a bit more information. Like in this case all that needed to be added was
"Biden secures Russian prisoners release." That's it. Makes all the difference.
Why post just to cheer with no indication what you're cheering about?

(3,132 posts)The foundation of any strong marriage includes the following:
Ability to read minds and know exactly how to respond to any unasked question.
Photographic memory - this is important when your spouse can't find the ketchup in the fridge. Instantly remembering it's in the door, second shelf, just left of center will save your marriage.
Ability to see through walls - this is critical when you're in the attic and your spouse is in the basement and they call out "What is this?!?!"
My advice - get married, get with the program, and learn these critical skills. Your enjoyment on this site will improve significantly.

(53,544 posts)Trump said repeatedly he could have gotten the hostages without giving anything in exchange.
I was astounded that Andrea Mitchell pointed out some were hostages when Trump was president.

(12,443 posts)daytime lineup and quit watching Mitchell a few years ago. Dear gawd, that woman can not even talk anymore, called one on the hostages Mikhail Gorbachev, stuttering and stammering far more than when I quit watching her. She is a hot mess, they really need to get her off the air.
Hubby used to turn tv to her but I told him NOT to do it anymore. She hems and haws and sounds like a blathering idiot, shes too OLD

Say, is the "Vladimir" that Biden said was one of the four big guys released Vladimir Kara-Murza? I think so. If so, way to go, Joe!!
