Wall Street Journal labels Trump biggest Republican ‘loser’
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
What the MAGA folks can be led to believe is completely wide open, that has already been proven (is baby blood available online yet?). That should be taken as an asset for anyone who courts their vote. One of the grander mistakes you-know-who made is he stayed with courting the lunatic fringe, and other than his tax cuts for the wealthy made no attempt to capture the (relatively) saner vote. With all the other lunacy aside, IMO his biggest mistake in his devious plans was alienating the military, he went into it within weeks of him announcing in 2015: POWs are not heroes, military personnel are losers, "I'm know more about the military than any general" etc. If not for this he probably could of turned 1/6 into the country's first military coup. For about a year now Flynn has been working on something that I call the American Taliban. I don't know if Flynn will run it himself, or just be the spiritual leader, but I see this as a major force in the 2024 race, which seems to already be happening.

I actually had that one tossed at me.

In 2004 a US presidential candidate's white wife, who was born in Kenya, said she was "African American." The Black folks didn't like that. I'm surprised the Kiwi team All Blacks hasn't been forced to change their name.

A certain woke politician in the US recently had to do a lot of profuse apologizing for implying that only women can get pregnant. While I have an appreciation of irreverent humor I've had it with non-white comedians making anti-white comments poorly disguised as jokes, the sort that would be punishable if the ethnicities were reversed. Don't dish out what you're not willing to eat.

Wall Street Journal labels Trump biggest Republican ‘loser’

The only requirement for his endorsement was saying the 2020 election was stolen. Issues, vision -- what are those? Something I happened to catch while hearing election results come in: at least one reporter was referring to certain GOP contenders as "MAGA candidates" instead Republicans. He has 3 priorities: me me me For the WSJ (the least looney of the Murdoch outlets) to be calling him GOP’s “biggest loser” would be like a wife publicly declaring she's filing for divorce and posting a pic of hubby's tiny peepee. Crystal ball prediction: DT is going to find a way to knock DeSantis out of the 2024 running. -
Very much like the recession of 50 years ago. And no new episodes of "Sanford and Son" this time. For me living through it is the re-run. It began with the price of gasoline, which was around 30 cents per gallon in 1970, and had been that much for years, the prices were painted on the signs. By 1980 the price went above $1 and has never gone back. But also as is being claimed now there is an everything shortage: supply is down for (item name here) because (insert excuse here) and when it re-appears the price has doubled. Certain pharmaceuticals are in short supply this time, which I find suspicious.

Putin ally Yevgeny Prigozhin admits interfering in U.S. elections
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
These days a US patriot is someone who is pro-Russia and Putin is "the man," and they love the tyrants running the former USSR states. CPAC held one of their club meetings in Hungary, that should tell you a lot. How does supporting these guys support the US? What happened to the "love it or leave it" ? The leader of the MAGA thing has a fetish about being sub to world-class strong men, and he's pretty obvious about it. -
Any agent in Penang for a Thai Tourist visa?
bendejo replied to Onerak's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
When Air Asia started flying to Macau I did a visa run to Hong Kong, via ferry. I ended up doing it a few times. Always liked the place, hadn't been there in decades. I don't know how practical it would be these days. -
so not One TV channel in Thailand showing World series

A rumor that has been circulating since the Cuban Revolution is that Fidel came to the US to try out as a baseball player a few years before. Consider the effect on geopolitics if he had made the grade. That the Cuban people were crazy about baseball was a national embarrassment for the Castro commies. I do think when other countries started playing pro baseball, like Japan ("basabaru"), the US should have opened it up. On the other hand people in the US complain that the soccer World Cup is only on the Spanish-language stations. -

"Russia, if you're listening . . ." Which man just paid the piper? But why is Prigozhin revealing this to the world? It won't make any difference, that spray tan DT wears is Teflon-based. -

He sure is behaving like another person who is constantly in the news. In a few days he'll be wearing orange spray-tan. -
Twitter: Elon Musk blames 'activist groups' for earnings drop
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
I haven't been following this: when I read the news and see that smiling chimpanzee face I keep scrolling. US$44 billion? (I think Buffet bought a large chunk of North American railroad infrastructure for $50 billion.) It sounds like we are in dot com bubble 2.0. Truth is Twitter has no secret sauce, anyone with the dosh can put together the engineers and the hardware to do the same thing, and for a hell of a lot less $$$. (I think of the current titans of internet entities only Google is sitting on a secret yet-to-be-cracked algorithm, the one that the two lads came up with in 1998). Facebook is banking on, and hyping, technology that does not exist yet -- shades of 1997. Oh, but the brand recognition! The user base! Yeah, sure. Remember Myspace? AOL? And for those who remember 1990s pre-internet technology: Wordperfect, Lotus 123, dBase, Novell, Borland development software, to name a few; all were used in nearly every business that utilized computers. Recalling his comments when all this started I got the impression EM's goal was to be the most well-known person in the world. At the end of the day Twitter is just a chat site. I would guess they own a good chunk of real estate to house all those server farms, probably the only true assets should he be forced to liquidate. With all this supply chain problems and chip shortages we're told about maybe he can get some return on selling second-hand hardware. And now we can guess who will buy out Tesla when his nibs is forced to sell.
