Well, I did not take it all over the place. I made a thread called Its time to invoke the 25th with several clips of a confused Joe Biden and it evolved from there. I didnt do that.
Ok, let me a few moments to think if it would be appropriate for Congress to invoke the 25th. Processing...
Seriously, I have been all over South and Central America. I have seen the people who move there from the United States and Europe. I am generally unimpressed with them. Lots of losers, lots of users, few wealth generators.
I paid a lot of attention to this as I sort of know him and Natasha Richardson died because she didn't get checked by tbe EMS when offered just after. If you think remote ski towns in Amercia have a better service you are wrong. She had a CT and had to be moved. Its a maybe that had she been flown, not taken by ambulance despite the now very status she might have been saved but I've heard that Canada has aircraft? Quite a lot in fact?
You are actually making my point @wildchild , Amercian culture is to recoil from early intervention assuming it's going to be pointlessly expensive.
I say it is not appropriate in invoke the 25th against Joe Biden. He may be impaired, even beyond what he was when he first entered politics, but he is not comatose. Hell, our system established the likes of Patty Murray and the Diane Feinstein in her current condition are considered competent enough to hold office. It seems to me that previously agreed upon criteria should be the basis for removal. In lieu of the preceding points, voters should decide.
All I can report on is what was in the news. It said they did not have helicopters. I have no reason to dispute that claim. All I know is that during Vietnam, they would have wounded out in the middle of jungle. They would drop a dasiy cutter to clear a landing zone, and evacuate people. This was during the late 1960s and early 1970s. To hear that in 2009, Canada did not have a helicopter available to move a person who needed medical help in Quebec at a ski resort is not impressive. The US did it in hostile territory in the middle of the jungle on a regular basis. Hopefully the Canadians have their acts together now.
And yet, Columbia... You are poor, I sense you drive a Honda Fit. Not that they aren't cool of course.
Yes, I was there. We have been over this numerous times, NoShow. That topic is dead, but we can rehash it if you would like.
