This has to be a joke. Each minister pointing the finger at the other to say who it comes under. Wow. This how the country operates? Guys don't know their responsibility.

Can the Tribune please have reporters challenge these ministers with the statements they make, and not just quote what they say?

What does this mean. What exact things are they complaining about. Make him give concrete examples to back what he is saying.

I had him pegged as the worst as well, until Davis came on the scene.

This has nothing to do with elections. This has been happening for eons.

No I am not saying that. However, just because the one doing the most abuse says another country is doing it does not make it so, especially when they are doing worst and not seeking to do anything about their abuses.

Just because the US says it does not make it factual, especially when there could be ulterior motives involved.

Delaware is the biggest place for financial crimes. he US needs to look at it's own house.

But I gather they are doing this to try get more business to Delaware.

Pintard is in no bind over Minnis. You think the 3000 people who did not vote in Killarney will be voting for Minnis?

Everyone has seen Minnis true colors. I would be surprised if they run him and he keeps the seat.

Better than these jokers

Is this really the thing professional people should say? Just because you pullout Exuma to try give a pretty picture does not mean the picture is not bad. The things people say. And reporters need to hit back on these foolishness, and stop just printing the nonsense these people spew.

Im sorry Davis, but I was in Solomon's this week and the cost of eggs is $10. Where did it drop significantly from this new source that are clearly not be truthful about who found it? If the government found it then why didn't egg prices drop at all stores? Stop trying to take credit for what Rupert Roberts did just for his Super Value chain.

2026 cannot hurry up and come to remove this old new day government.
