Have you seen this? Barking mad!

When Elon dies there will be so many offspring present to hear the reading of his will they'll need to do it in an arena.

These things no longer mean anything. It's the time of the unitary executive, president does not have rules -- it is the US term for authoritarian gov't. US political mavens come up with new words that they hope will not leave a bad taste in the mouth after saying them, the first such I recall was in the 1970s there was an economic depression (like the one from the 1930s people still talked about at that time) but they called it a recession. And of course the people who support this are the ones currently in power -- if another party gains the majority and makes use of it the ones crying holy hell will be those who engendered it in the first place. Bill Barr proudly supports the unitary executive, well, at least did while he was AG during DT's first term. He now is on the POTUS sh_t list, and if the omnipotent monarch has him drawn and quartered (figuratively) IMO it couldn't happen to someone more deserving.

He was on Maher's show last week, before this story came out. I thought he was some drunk they picked up at the Teamsters hall. He had a whole lot of words that didn't say much, and Bill would be able to say "see? I had a cabinet member on!" He wisely backed off pretty much and let the old guy go on.

When I think of Orwell and gov't, I think of Animal Farm. Some pigs are more equal than others. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-praises-george-orwell-united-kingdom-state-visit-free-speech-crackdown-2131675 IMO, he did not write the speech himself, didn't even read it before he gave it.

As they say in the vernacular "check your brains at the door."

Not to drag the chat away from this incident, and this isn't something that would affect me (and certainly not to open a discussion of how other religions view suicide), but I've wondered if these fast & loose suicide pronouncements cause excess grief to the bereaved. Back in farangland there are religions that will not allow suicides to be buried in their cemeteries. For true believers, they not only have to contend with the death of the loved one or relative, but knowing that they were condemned to hell (as their religions states) for taking their own life. This layer of insensitivity has nothing to do with Thai culture, but rather the corrupt status quo. I first started considering this when David Carradine was sent home as a suicide.

If the cops didn't catch up to him he would have had a hell of a time trying to get the thing on the plane back to Holland as a carry-on.

Maybe he just saw the film The Man Who Would be King and it gave him some ideas . . .

This lady has more testicular fortitude than the current POTUS and his whole cabinet, and all the GOP members of US Congress, put together. She may have that giggly Filipino way of speaking English that still grates on my nerves (like a teacher I had in 7th grade) but the way she stood up to "Duterte Harry" makes her one of the most laudable public figures in world politics these days, IMO. And she's still alive! https://www.aljazeera.com/video/witness/2019/2/18/maria-ressa-war-on-truth

Double shakedown: one is the farang clubs. The other is the chic hiso clubs "do you know who my uncle is?!"

Why do the pro-fascist people dislike being called fascist? Looks like the cabinet's two top-ranking Steves (Bannon & Miller) need to do consciousness-raising for the MAGA congregation. Whatever it is you aim for be proud of it, otherwise you are showing the world you are a callow, creepy reprobate who knows, within yourself, that what you stand for is reprehensible: even the people on your own side will see you as that.

Question is how did they know this guy had such watch and was worth robbing; not every such robbery gets such a prize. (providing the watch is the genuine article).

Shutting down an organization that doesn't exist and rounding up all the members that do not exist. MAGA, baby! And send more money! you cannot kill an idea

The fact is he’s acting, he considers what he does television entertainment. Like he said when him and his goons beat up on Zelensky "it's good television." The fool doesn't realize his teevee stunts clash with his fascist initiative.

During the Redshirt street occupation in Ratchadamri his nibs occasionally addressed the crowd from wherever he was via jumbotron (or whatever it's called). One day the screen lit up and there he was, completely bald. Oops! He put the rug on and explained it away as "just a little chemo." This was covered in the press at the time, Haven't heard it mentioned since.

He'll do/say whatever Peter Thiel tells him to. No mystery involved. Imagine foreign heads of state having discussions with him, and a a point of frustration they say to him "i want to speak to your manager!"

Great point. I was in Afghanistan in 1975, when there was a few years of peace. There was no paved road between the capitol and the city nearest to the northern border with the USSR. That country, with all requisite kindness, built such a road for them. It was completed in 1979. Guess what else the USSR did in that year.

Being out-of-zone? Yet another thing to collect $$$ for. It will be so good for the BiB the uniforms will need more pockets.

Aw c'mon, @Tug, being pro-pedophile, pro-Putin, and pro-cancer doesn't make him a bad guy. </sarcasm> https://www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/features/cancer-research-funding-cuts/ https://www.wired.com/story/how-trump-killed-cancer-research/

I would hope that this has changed, but some years back VN insisted on only exporting its coffee pre-ground. It was discovered by researchers that a good percentage of the product was ground up stems and other non-bean things.

Committed suicide while visiting Australia. Uh-huh.

Probably not. This capture is from 2 days ago And being a teevee actor he would have told the producers to show his other side. Also, concerning the right-hand side of his head, there was no indication of a bullet wound on his ear when the bandage was off 2 days later. Very few things hamper his media performances, 2 most noteworthy are when he meets with Putin, the other was when Musk brought up Epstein. It was obvious the latter rattled him because he almost never flies off like that publicly. Otherwise his performance is strictly Real Housewives scripts. Beware of flying ketchup!
