    For a minute there, he looked so much like Ike Douglas.

    Nice that the PM reached out to the New President. The American People spoke out loudly, to take power away from that confused, narcissistic demagogue. Hope we learn that when we worship politicians and enable, we end up destroying them.

    What a contrast between Mr Skerrit and Mr Biden.

    Biden wins with legitimate votes.

    Mr Skerrit had to fly in voters, in the 2019 elections , and pay so many voters from the US Virgin Islands, to overwhelm each constituency with his brought in voters, and thereby manipulate the 2019 Dominican Election results in each constituency in Dominica.

    This smells very much like what President Trump was trying to do, by threatening The Secretary of state of Georgia- (Brad Ravensperger) ,to find him 11,780 more votes, to win in Georgia.

    Honesty is always the best policy Mr Skerrit. You have apparently manipulated the votes in Dominica. Do you think that this will make you a legitimate leader?

    Joe Biden won after 3 tries at the presidency. His win is worth more than all your wins in Dominica.
    Please learn from a better man and be honest, so that your legacy will be based on the truth.

    “Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has congratulated United States (US) President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris on assuming office.”

    Roosevelt, I know you are the only person they, say major in English; however, graduated with a degree in psychology. I am not an English Major, nevertheless, I would not use the term assume as you did in the case of your congratulatory message which is irrelevant anyway!

    Why?

    Because in this case the word ” assume” means to take or begin to have responsibility or control, sometimes without the right to do so, or to begin to have a characteristic: such as.

    The new president assumes office at midnight tonight. The terrorists assumed control of the city and forced the residence into slave labor.

    That is not the case in the Biden and Harris situation.

    Then again you claim to be English Major: My major is Electronics and Electrical Engineering compounded with the Liberal Arts, and medicine!

    Me too, I sent mine through Facebook. Although, actually, he would have received it more directly through twitter! Boy Skerrit you are a proper clown when you want to seek out noticing and relevance! :lol: :-P :twisted:

      Roosevelt thinks he is known to people like Biden; if there would ever be a reason for Roosevelt to communicate to any president of the United States, he could not do it directly, as getting on a telephone and call them.

      He would have to send his letter of request or communication through the American Embassy in Antigua or Barbados, whichever serves Dominicans.

      Roosevelt is a little nobody big belly nobody wet black rat!

      Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

      Biden doh deal with corrupted people like that Crapo Roosevelt!

    Skerrit, you amaze us with these thoughts of yours! Skerrit penned this:
    Skerrit, remember that “Charity begins at home?”
    “We stand United in addressing common challenges, whether it is climate change, or Covid-19”. In addition to this Skerrit, we the people of Dominica are concerned of the destruction of our agriculture, our infrastructure, lack of unemployment and the abuse of our States funds where against the use and misuse of states funds used and abused through the Red Clinic. This is deceptiveness as Skerrit by+, pass the Welfare Division and other Government services and professionals that appears on the Fifth Floor our people climb up the stairs where loyalty is practiced and shamed distribution of States funds referred to as the Red Clinic.
    As a result the professionals of the Welfare Division & Local Government are ignored with limited resources these dedicated professionals are sidelined & unable to undertake their work professionally due to interference.
    Skerrit…

    PM can fool Ian but he can’t fool me. PM is very disappointed Trump is no longer president and as such very worried about a new AG that will investigate some long awaited investigation. For example: the NG Lap Seng arrest after PM Skerrit was seen in the photo together with John Ashe and others. The then U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: “If proven, today’s charges will confirm that the cancer of corruption that plagues too many local and state governments infects the United Nations as well. Well, preet was fired by Trump in 2017 and he told CNBC Christina Ellie that it was because he refused to take Trump’s call to do something inappropriate. All that was connected to the Russians involvement in the 2016 election. Also,
    Does PM know that we know of five Democratic senators wrote a letter to the US senate on September 5, 2018 demanding that the senate investigated what work Trump lawyer, Rudy Giuliani did for foreign countries and Dominica was one of the countries? PM is…

    “Dr.’ Skerrit, “We stand united addressing challengers,- Skerrit to President Biden and his administration.

    What irony! This man practises exclusion and division in Dominica like none of his predecessors. So many eminently qualified Dominicans are being deprived of employment in the land of their birth simply for their political views. How many of our best doctors are debarred from using the facilities of the main hospital?

    Opposing you doesn’t make me your everlasting enemy. Mr. Skerrit deliberately fails to accept this concept to the detriment of the country.

    Practise what you preach at home Mr. Hypocrite before reaching outside the borders. Let your actions speak for you.

      Man Bites Dogs…..a question to you. Go clean yours first before you go blindly at decent people and well versed DOMINICA’S politians
      We also have a fake failed Prime Minister in Dominica. So go clean your Political Incompetence and silly talk. For the past twenty years this Failed Labour government and its failed incompetent Prime Odd Minister Skerrit is not sufficiently matured to be at the helm of our government.
      If any, we will and have recognised Him. Lennox Linton ably positioned and disciplined to be DOMINICA’S Prime Minister. We hope it will be soon. We need Decent trusted committed disciplined mature intellectual professional to be at the helm of our States government.
      Dominicans, we seriously need that change of Government and its current inmature illogical current inmature Skerrit, who is not sufficiently matured and focused on our people’s Development and Interest that they are ably positioned as Dominicans to be leaders of our government in time to come. Skerrit…
