Not to worry @Topdude. You will always retain your well-deserved title as Minnis's chief sycophant on this website. I must say though that it's easy for many of us to be your polar opposite when we think back and reflect on Minnis's terrorizing reign over us. God only knows how you can be so dismissive of all of the evil power-juiced Minnis embodied and showered on many of us in a most vindictive way.

And just think how many lives this man has ruined in the 4+ years he was PM. Minnis's tears are all about him finally realizing he's "one and done" for good and to that many of us say "Amen, and praise be to God".

This utterly disgraceful power-juiced tyrant brought real tears of grief, sorrow and misery to the eyes of so many of our fellow Bahamians in the aftermath of Dorian and during the height of the pandemic. And his great borrowing binge has financially crippled our nation for many decades to come, if not forevermore.

In his case, simply going to church, shedding a tear or two and saying he's sorry just won't cut it as recompense for the many lives his misdeeds have destroyed. Remorse is one quality Minnis will never truly have and forgiveness can only ever come to those who are truly remorseful.

By "PLP" I take it you mean the Davis administration because most Bahamian voters have been going back and forth between supporting the PLP and FNM for more than two decades now. Their PLP today and FNM tomorrow mentality is killing our country given that there's very little difference between FNM and PLP political elite when it comes to corruption of the worst possible kind.

I guess we should all at least be thankful no one is dying from anything but COVID-19 these days, according to the death records compiled by our public health officials.

You just can't have a PMH maternity ward nurse telling an unvaccinated expecting mother that she doesn't deserve to have a healthy baby.

Disgraced Minnis wants a very divided FNM delegate vote that he and Culmer can better control for the purpose of ensuring their own desired loyal tool becomes the leader of the opposition. King Cobra Minnis will then lay low in the grass as he and Culmer continue to control the FNM party until the time is right for Minnis to rear his ugly head, spit venom at those who oppose him and strike a deadly blow to fully reclaim leadership of the FNM party in the eyes of the public. And this game plan of the power-crazed megalomaniacal tyrant Minnis must not be allowed to be played out under any circumstance.

He always was and always will be.

Sadly, so true.

Don't be silly. Less VAT means less of the people's money for the Davis led PLP administration to squander. You can kill many types of cancer by cutting off the vital supply of nutrients they need to survive and grow. You can similarly kill most forms of government corruption by starving corrupt administrations of the one thing they absolutely need to survive and grow - our tax dollars and the ability to borrow.

Besides, less VAT might send a strong signal to the IMF and its tool the IDB that they had better pull their lending teat ("tit") from the hard sucking lips of our corrupt elected officials who seek to 'buy' votes whenever a national general election rolls around. Davis knows full well that VAT is the poor man's tax, which is why he made his VAT reduction promise. But don't hold your breath for waiting for him to introduce a much more progressive tax regime that would have himself and his wealthy financial backers like Snake paying their fair share of our country's tax needs.

I disagree with your "hellfire" suspicion. To the shock of the world, the US government and US military recently demonstrated their willingness to leave US citizens behind with the enemy when they fled the battle field in Afghanistan.
