Biden's rubber and Trump's glue, whatever Trump says bounces off Biden and sticks to Trump.

Spent some time in the orient and was made to feel welcome by many and unwelcome by some. I find that to be universal in my travels. Differences in perception seem to be globally chaotic due to any recent supposed reality.

(folk looked at and treated me differently if the current U.S. president did something that they didn't like whether I voted for him or not)

P.S. I ironed a maple leaf patch onto the backpack of my favorite niece before she went on a backpacking tour of Europe. I said "trust me on this one". Back in that day nobody had a bad word to say about Canadians. and ay! they sounded just like us except for the occasional incomprehensible French words.

P.S.S. Never ate a Freedom Fry. They will always be French fries to me.

P.S.S.S. How the hell did fried strips of potato ever get to be called "French fries" in the first place?

I've been living in China for EXACTLY (August 6, 2006) 14 years, married a Chinese woman and only know words and phrases in Chinese - cannot read or write it and no way can I understand or speak more than that.  Fortunately, English is the second language here, and it is used all over and many (especially younger people) can speak it "a little".

2.2.24  Bob Nelson  replied to  Buzz of the Orient @2.2.23    4 years ago

It's a question of age. Literally.

The capacity for learning new languages fades away in our early twenties. After that, it's very, very difficult.

Also, learning languages is a reiterative exercise. The second is easier than the first, the third easier than the second, and so on. This is why some people continue to learn new languages long after their twenties. This second phenomenon overrides the first.

So... if you just started Chinese in your seventies, it would be exceptional that you learn more than your few words.

LOL.  Started seriously at age of 69 1/2, so almost at the 70s mark.  However I had learned the words for hello, goodbye and thank you earlier from doing Tai Jie early Sunday mornings with a bunch of wonderful elderly Chinese people in a park near my home in Toronto.

President Trump   on Friday held a scaled-down campaign-style rally on an airport tarmac in Florida, drawing a crowd of supporters who packed closely together in a state that has been devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.

The president landed in Tampa, where he is participating in a fundraiser, and was greeted by dozens of supporters who had gathered along barricades . Few were seen wearing masks, and music that has become standard at Trump campaign events blared over speakers for what was billed as a "campaign coalitions event with Florida sheriffs."

Don't be fooled. International Business Times (ibtimes) is headquartered in New York City.  Recently, one of the co-founders,  Etienne Uzac,  stepped down due to a long-term financial fraud probe.

You do know that the last time a Republican candidate carried NYC was in 1924, don't you?

I think he still has over 90% approval among Republicans, in spite of having to battle with the American Communist Crime Syndicate apparatchiks 24/7 ever since he has been in office.

Remember this?

Wow, funny how that works out.  Moved your article right up in first place.  Kind of reminds me of how YouTube and Google searches work out.  I always have to spent about 10 minutes scrolling until I finally get to the last one when I'm doing a search for something I want and then work my way back up, because all the Liberal articles show up first page after page even though I didn't even search for the information they are providing.  Those algorithms sure are nice if you're in the right camp.  You lucky guy.  We have to work a whole lot harder.

I've heard that.  It doesn't apply in my case.  I'm perfectly content and fine.  I keep a smile on my freaking face all day long.  I'm so carefree and farking happy that I don't know what the fluck to do with myself all flucking day long.  I'm sure other nuns suffer, but they are a bunch of fools and jerks.  Oh, you're calling me a jerk now?  Fine by me, Jethro.  The next knock you hear on your door will be me...just itchin' to open up a can of whup-ass.  In fact, I'm so flippin' exuberant, I'm thinking of skipping freaking naked up and down your street...

Both my grandfather and I had what the doctors could only label as oral dyslexia.  It was the best they could come up with for something they never saw before.  It is when some words mix up as you say them. IE - picture tube comes out as titure pube.  I eventually overcame it, but my grandfather was doing it until the day he died.

There was a guy in my paramedic class who was a good first responder but who was dyslexic and couldn't figure drug dosages in his head.

Out of 30 who were excepted into the program only 10 of us graduated.

Actually fell asleep on a patient once due to lack of sleep due to studying. Woke up in the nurses lounge where I received no sympathy.

Listening to his voice and "sentences" for more than 30 seconds starts to piss me off. Trying to read it is even worse. How can someone who was born with so much money, be such a fucking illiterate, incoherent, fucking idiot? If I were on a debate stage with him I would literally beat the shit out of him after 30 seconds just because I cannot stand his speech patterns. His speech sounds like two retards fucking.
