What did he do for this? As much as Obama did for the Nobel prize, nothing.

[CG-ucnf]

This is your participation ribbon Joe Biden. Holy shit Robinette? That's awesome.

So the guy who didn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize just awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a guy who didn't deserve it either. Got it.

That medal will look good next to his five draft dodging medals.

[amyb]

He said "This is an honor I don't deserve. " Well said! I couldn't agree more. Now don't let the door hit you on your way out of Mike Pense's new office.

A true gentleman...he stayed at a hospital when his two little boys were in a car accident, after he lost his wife and be your daughter. in same vehicle accident at Christmas time, ..Then, later in lost Bo to cancer. He was sworn in the first office he held in that hospital room. He went back and forth every day on a train, so he could be with his children...now that's a man with true integrity....I have always, been a Joe Biden, supporter...I am very proud of him.. I wish him all blessings...and his moonshot. xx MS

Кукушка и Петух.

«Как, милый Петушок, поёшь ты громко, важно!» —
«А ты, Кукушечка, мой свет,
Как тянешь плавно и протяжно:
Во всем лесу у нас такой певицы нет!» —
«Тебя, мой куманёк, век слушать я готова». —
«А ты, красавица, божусь,
Лишь только замолчишь, то жду я не дождусь,
Чтоб начала ты снова...
Отколь такой берётся голосок?
И чист, и нежен, и высок!..
Да вы уж родом так: собою невелички,
А песни — что твой соловей!» —
«Спасибо, кум; зато, по совести моей,
Поёшь ты лучше райской птички.
На всех ссылаюсь в этом я».
Тут Воробей, случась, примолвил им: «Друзья!
Хоть вы охрипните, хваля друг дружку, —
Все ваша музыка плоха!..»
За что же, не боясь греха,
Кукушка хвалит Петуха?
За то, что хвалит он Кукушку.
