    President Biden thread

    Tweety replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I don't necessarily believe everything on the news but I don't make up stuff either. We're a trauma center here as well and have always had beds and ER waits are long, but we're not on divert....

    President Biden thread

    Tweety replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    My social circle is 100% Biden voters as far as I know and not one is turning against Biden over Afghanistan. They understand it was started by a Republican President and the withdrawal was started...

    President Biden thread

    Tweety replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I thought he gave a decent speech at a dreadful time and showed leadership. Did I feel "comforted", not necessarily. I rarely have felt "comforted" by a politician during any crisis in my...

    What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

    Tweety replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'll let the original poster explain what was meant. At least at the beginning of his presidency and candidacy he was seen as forging his own path rather than subscribing to partisan politics...

    Tweety replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The way Trump cut taxes, banned transgendered persons from the military, cut regulations and increased military spending makes him fairly conservative in my view. I think this is one of the reasons...

    Nurses make more than median salary, so you should be grateful for what you earn?

    Tweety replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what people make where I work, so I was a bit shocked when a new grad told me her salary, not that I even asked. We were talking about overtime bonuses being paid right now. I had no...

    I agree that young people provide the outrage and protest. But us older and jaded people did have our day and maybe the torch should be passed or shared. I sometimes look at my...

    I didn't mean to cherry pick but to give a couple of examples but fair enough. Obama though was really elevated to a icon like status because the economy was in near ruins, and he was the first...

    Have you worked with a GOAT in healthcare?

    Tweety replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    My GOAT was an LPN I worked with that retired over ten years ago (before they phased out LPNs). No matter what she was always patient focused and did what she could to advance their care along, and...

    Fair enough. Even I as a lay person knew the Afghanistan withdrawal would be a mess. Generals have been saying this for the last 20 years. The border situation was predicted to be...

    He's all about freedom. He was and is against lockdowns and mandatory mask mandates. He doesn't care if businesses require masks, but is adamant that schools not. To say he's an "avid...

    Actually I think this poster is pretty typical and representative of "his people" which I suppose you mean Trump supporters and conservatives.

    I've been around this forum long enough to know this happens. After Obama was elected it was "but Bush....", and the same when Trump was elected..."But Obama......." I do wish we didn't discuss...

    Obama indeed did have a "cult" or people that seriously liked him, myself included. But I do remember when he wanted to attack Syria progressives and lay democrats uproared so loudly he backed down...

    I agree with all of the above. Trump set us up by letting the Taliban know we were going to leave. But I agree with Biden that there was no real good time to carry that out. It was going to be...

    Kind of cool to read tweets from Sanders, AOC and conservatives agreeing with this sentiment that the priority is the safety of allies. Rare that they are on the same
