  1. Do Indonesian aircraft still fall out of the sky regularly, or do the stories just not make the international press? While there for about a month there were a few, one of which was military/police helicopter, crashed in the back of beyond, all dead.
  2. In other words, we can rest assured the results are true and correct Anyone ever think to have a look-see at one of his foreign properties?
  3. Refused medical treatment. And what kind of mischief did he get into between Nov. 15 and Dec. 1st? Maybe got some additional whoopass due to another of his stunts. No case.
  4. I've been saying all along that the GOP was shooting itself in the foot with all these voter suppression tactics. The idea was to make it difficult for Black folks to vote (they fear another mistake, like Obama) but it didn't take a genius (IMO) to see it would make it difficult for EVERYBODY to vote. When election day comes around there are a lot of people who are going to find better things to do than drive 40 miles each way and wait on line for hours at the poll; add to that price of gasoline these days and the old pickup trucks getting 15 miles per gallon. The White senior citizens are put off as well. After Losing Georgia, Republicans Are Suddenly Interested in Early Voting It also served as way to urge Black folks to vote, courtesy of activists like Stacey Abrams, by pointing out that they don't want Black folks to vote.
  5. I concur. But this runs deeper than DT's backing. https://ballotpedia.org/Republican_Party_primaries,_2022 The Dems had their world shaken up in the 1990s, but it looks like they are finally getting their shirt together after nearly 30 years. If nothing else these midterms can be seen as payback for how the GOP torpedoed the 2004 Dem primaries. They ran a "gray" gambit and it played out for the most part. Too bad they didn't get the Ohio Senate seat. I had a history teacher who said JFK surrounded himself with smart, capable people, but Lyndon Johnson (his successor) well knew the advantages of having stupid people working for him. DT knows this too, but from a somewhat different perspective.
  6. He'll blame racism. He'll go on about what a caring human being he himself is and how much pain he is experiencing to see a fine [let's see what words he uses here] treated so unfairly.
  7. Roger Ailes used to tell his goons to only go after people/entities that won't fight back. Not long ago Hillary was giving a speech; Fox was stepping up their usual excrement flinging at her at the time, and someone in the audience asked her about it. They may not have mentioned her name on the air since. https://www.businessinsider.com/hillary-clinton-fox-news-is-awfully-close-to-actual-malice-in-their-coverage-of-her-2022-2?op=1 And just think, political charges aside, if half the people who DT has verbally attacked since June 2015 sued him for defamation . . .
  8. There are guys in the US who put a shot of brandy in their morning coffee.
  9. Try it on himself? NO WAY! He won't even ride in one of his own rockets. Wouldn't surprise me to hear he doesn't even drive a Tesla.
  10. If they are not criminals give them a ride to the border send them on their way.
  11. I've been anticipating this since his inauguration. I envisioned an area of dachas where he and his goons would live in exile among the oligarchs. I thought Russia at first, but not now. CPAC held a jamboree in Hungary in the past year, maybe somebody is doing advanced planning. Orban is practically idolized on Fox. Just think: Budapest, home of the US Republican Party in exile. And not just the social prattle, they can still run their various on-line businesses (selling pillows, asking for donations, and so on).
  12. Makes ya wonder where they get these ideas from, eh?
  13. Maybe one of the PC makers, like Dell, should put out a Hunter Biden edition of a laptop, they are sure to get a lot of publicity and name recognition in the next two years.
  14. The sort of chaos Bannon was reaching for. AZ was his target for stirring it up, but his plan dried up when Cochise county certified the election result. Alito and Clarence have been disgraced as corrupt and liars -- they should be shown the door, and if not that then dissolve the Supreme Court. No good will come of this court in it's present state, the rot became permeable when McConnell hijacked the appointment process.
  15. Kari Lake is Sarah Palin in the persona of a daytime talk show host. No real issues to speak of, just "we're conservatives and we rule!" Cheerleaders as opposed to leaders. Soon Kari will be where she belongs, on Fox News or one of the other right-wing cesspits. Maybe even RT.
  16. Kind of surprising how this slips past the local vanity. Foreigners come to your country and voluntarily clean the beaches. "Why you say my country have dirty beaches?" is something I'd expect. Imagine Japanese volunteers going to San Francisco (US) to spray the streets with disinfectant (which would be great idea).
  17. Posted with good intentions, same to be said of the performers. dems.mp4
  18. So, you disagree with Rick Scott's "tax the poor" plan? https://www.factcheck.org/2022/02/rick-scott-proposed-all-americans-should-pay-income-tax-then-denied-that-he-did/ A plan best read by gaslight.
  19. IMO this is something that does not get mentioned enough. It mainly shows how the government employees work in fear of the Republican establishment. Comey himself said he did that out of fear of what the Republicans would do to him (and the former president did it to him anyway), but didn't seem to be fearful of the consequences of violating the rule. Second, Republicans can break the rules without consequence, but the Dems cannot; this can be fixed with a little spine and savvy on the part of the Dems, but don't hold your breath. I think it is pretty clear that the "spine" of the 1/6 investigation was a Republican.
  20. Damned right, they would have put your fat ess in front of a firing squad long ago.
  21. If you are expelling all you eat without proper digestion then your body is not getting nutrients. Are you able to sleep, or does the diarrhea keep waking you up? Do you urinate, or are you expelling all your water this way? If so, you may be dehydrating. The combination of these things is extremely unhealthy. I picked up a few critters (amoebas, worms, et al) when I lived in India. I have a few stop-ups to suggest. Yoghurt, be sure it's actual yoghurt, not some sort of pudding. I'm not in LOS right now so I can't recall all the brands, but Meiji seems to be the real thing. The ultimate blocker, by my experimenting, is yoghurt mixed with bran (oat bran, wheat bran, fleaseed* husk are the ones I tried). This combo is like liquid tar that will solidify in your system and if lucky you won't have a motion for a few days. Fleaseed husk is popular in India, and if you have an Indian grocer nearby they just might have it. They call it saht-ee-sabgol. You can show them this picture, Telephone brand has been around forever. The water of the green coconut is a stopper. Slightly under-ripened bananas does the trick sometimes. Sometimes hard-boiled eggs does the block, but when they don't you can get these belches that taste like sulfur which are themselves sickening. Best of luck, please post your progress.
  22. If she is anywhere near her uncle's weight they probably had to put her off the flight because the plane was too heavy to take off.
