    America gets its first female President

    President Joe Biden on Friday temporarily transferred power to Vice President Kamala Harris while he was under anaesthesia for a routine colonoscopy for one hour and 25 minutes, according to the White House.

    The nation's first female, first Black and first South Asian vice president broke yet another barrier when she temporarily stepped into the acting role.

    Harris worked from her office in the West Wing while Biden was under anaesthesia, according to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

    Reminds me when I went into hospital in 2015 for an oesophagial endoscopy. The specialist asked me if I had any questions before the anesthetic was administered. I said, "If the patient before me had a colonoscopy did you remember to clean the camera" First time I have heard laughs in an operating theatre. True story.

    I have a colonoscopy this week. I really don't mind the camera, you don't feel it, but stuff you have to drink. Fuck, it's worse than Singha.

    Probably more appropriate that you had a bronchioscopy.

    Oh.....I forgot...you are sensitive about being reminded you are a smoker.

    My best friend died of lung cancer last year.

    Oops....did it again.

    Weirdly and for reasons I can't ascertain they are all over my YouTube feed. I must've inadvertently clicked on at some point or something.

    I had one last week. Second one in the last three years. A few polyps the first time. And yes, that vile shit you have to drink beforehand, is horrible.

    all the commercial channels are just as bad - not like you would expect to get anything about seppo politics from them as they are too busy pumping their insipid shows with celebrities - how the fcuk are people able to not cringe when they hear the spiel

    Sweden also got its first female Prime Minister in history for a few hours. Although I think she planned on being there a bit longer ....


    Sweden's prime minister-elect has resigned seven hours after being appointed the country's first female political leader.
    Yesterday morning, MPs burst into applause and Magdalena Andersson, a 54-year-old former finance minister, wiped away a tear as she was voted through yesterday morning, following a last-minute, late-night deal with the former-Communist Left Party.
    She described herself as "raring to go" at a short press conference after the vote.
    But less than eight hours later she tendered her resignation after her Green Party coalition partners decided to leave the government after it failed to pass its budget.
    "For me this is about respect," she said at a press conference announcing her decision. "I do not want to lead a government for which there are reasons to question the legitimacy."

    Aaaaaaaaaaand she's back.

    Sweden’s Social Democrat leader narrowly won a vote in parliament re-electing her as prime minister, easing the political turmoil in the largest Nordic nation prompted by her resignation last week. Magdalena Andersson, 54, will form a one-party government after her candidacy passed on Monday by a two-vote margin. Having become Sweden’s first female prime minister last Wednesday, she resigned the same day when her junior partner in government quit following a defeat in parliament over the budget.

    That's some finely tuned politicking (or a damn lucky escape).

    Seems like you're just an uneducated simpleton . . . NY Post? Miranda Devine? FMD, you're dense.

    Here are a few more examples of her right-wing vomit:

    You're just the kind of moron these types appeal to.

    Why not follow them and find out . . . then get back to us.

    Simply continuously posting links is lazy . . . so very you.

    Thanks.

    You're keeping very UK-esque hours . . . any more pics of your surroundings?
