I can see it now, DT says to Zelensky "look, all you have to do is surrender to snookums, err, I mean Putin, and we will all live in peace." MAGA is not about thinking, it's about following. Taking DT at his word about ANYTHING? It takes a certain kind of person . . .

This stuff in this thread certainly bears a resemblance to discussions of the origins of AIDS in the 1980s.

It's great to see these creeps going at each other.

At the routine traffic stop if he whipped out a US$20 note he would have been out of there with a wave of the hand. But there may be something else involved, like LE knew where the stop would lead, I mean, checkpoints on Xmas? There's no way to know for sure, but I am curious as to which country the coke was headed to.

Huh? Smuggling weed into India? This makes as much sense as bringing coffee into Brazil. They have some of the best in the world, or at least did. That whole area from Afghanistan to Nepal is where it is. Granted it has been more than 40 years since I've been there. In certain states it is (was?) legal. My guess is the hydroponic stuff is something to show off for the wealthy, though there is no reason they can't grow it that way over there. The more imported things you have the more hiso you are over there. Another guess is they can say they are not smoking the garbage the riksha drivers do (best garbage on the planet).

Could have hid out in Pattaya, fit right in.

His reputation for "having a strong sense of himself" precedes him. I think he's reveling in all the attention: he's gone from coming up with publicity stunts to being pursued by the press -- nice work there buddy! And I suspect a certain US politician demanding the full limelight will be butting heads with him. Film at 11.

They fell from a coconut tree? I hate it when I have to call the police because of all the near-naked women.

There's enough material there for two wives.

Was out in the sticks in a certain Central American country. Saturday night, there was a wedding, and every body in town can drop in. The guys were drinking some kind of fermented rotgut and by midnight they were literally crawling through the muddy streets on all-fours (no paved roads) and howling like dogs. Something to see! The one in that pic, if she were crawling through the mud she'd look like a, oh nevermind.

Looks like one of those stunts by those wrestler clowns in the US.

Many moons ago (maybe 2003?) when staying in Pattaya several girls warned me to avoid those quiet sois that connect off Beach Rd "the boy hit your head!" I was hearing this several times a week, I figured there must be something to it. No great detour in avoiding them.

But will he have to pay 1 million USD like the other attendees? When Dick Cheney attended Obama's inauguration he did so in a wheelchair, with a questionable excuse for it. IMO he did not want to stand to respect a you-know-what.

Perhaps he wants Greenland so he can give it to his boyfriend Vlad for Valentine's Day. Greenland played a large role in the US's Cold War strategy, and probably is still used for monitoring the sea passages.

It won't be long until he wakes up one morning to find a horse's head in his bed.

Well OMG, did someone on Team Biden read my post? Dropped From Spending Bill, Cancer Research and D.C. Stadium Measures Revived by Senate

Just follow the pattern, usually his denials are: 1) I don't know anything about it, this is the first I heard 2) it's not true 3) some sort of justification, which usually involves contradicting #2 4) this is where he usually trips over his own lies, you know he's getting exhausted when he says "ask ______" (one of his disciples) Possibly all four are spoken within a few minutes. The press drives the narrative from here, the responses are usually some sort of jumble of the above four. Fox usually comes to the rescue with their own fictional rationalizing. Or they completely ignore it. Sometimes this is entertaining, e.g. during the 1/6 investigation Fox was running "fire department rescues cat from tree" stories.* In the pre-internet days US television news was notorious for filling up news reports with stuff like this, these days it is inane chatter by the on-screen personalities ("Can you believe how good these cookies are?").

He put it pretty plainly during the 2016 campaign: the vice president will take care of the paperwork while he travels the country making America great again. No one explained to him that veep is a quasi-ceremonial thumb-up-the-butt job. I wonder why Ol' Joe didn't step forward on cutting cancer research, it's been one of his pet issues. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-musk-killed-budget-deal-children-cancer-funding-collateral-damage

Sometimes it's the first Just in case anyone is confused this is not an altered pic nor from a comedy skit. This was at CPAC.

Are you sure that's him? Looks a lot like Youngkin (Virginia governor/MAGA fence sitter).

Back in the 1980s a Japanese fellow told me they started promoting Valentine's Day in Japan in a big way, every girl wants chocolates and of course the guys have to comply. Xmas is about retail, especially in the US where they have even have (unofficially) designated shopping holidays. People are coming up with all these statements about the history of Black Friday but I can tell you that I first heard that term in the 1990s. And no, the day after Thanksgiving WAS NOT the start of the xmas season, that began around the 8th of December (a Catholic day of observation) and the first Sunday of Advent. Xmas has evolved from a Christian holiday into something else. Most Jews I know celebrate xmas by going to a Chinese restaurant and a movie.

This may be an old fashioned notion, but this is what a presidency is supposed to be, not a generator of tabloid headlines. The job is to keep the country running and headed in the right direction, not just a series of photo ops and boastful claims.

The other team defends when the other guy throws around ketchup.

Had a similar experience on a Bell bus from Bkk to Pattaya, a bunch of drunken Indian guys (over 30 y.o.). I had the impression the woman conductor wanted to pull over and throw them out right there on the road.

Yes, the leopard was spotted, as most leopards are. And? 😊
