Are these the buses that the KSR crowd uses to get to Samui? Or is that no more?

Poor Cheryl.

Even 'devout Christians' are appalled as OK mulls $3.3 million bid on 'Trump Bibles' for schools This sounds like yet another money laundering scheme.

I'm avoiding a lot of the media hyperbole regarding electoral details (sorry, Kornacki) but do bear in mind how Kansas voted down a statewide abortion ban. Kansas, really? Who da thunk!?

This is great, he's a lame duck with nothing to lose. He does have to be concerned not to muck things up for his party, but after the election I'm hoping for some serious fireworks, e.g. reopening the Mueller Report case and get the AG off his _ss to give DT what he has coming.. DT should run his new stolen election scam from Moscow, I'm sure he'll enjoy the winter weather -- hang in there Donnie, it'll warm up a little in April. No doubt Melania would love to return to Eastern Europe and the overbearing presence of Russia.

His claim was that the guns were fired into the air, and the bullets fell down to earth and killed some demonstrators. I find it quite interesting that this case is being revived at this time. Oh no, does that poor old billionaire have to leave the country of his birth again?

Some subway lines in Buenos Aires have cars from Japan that were not purchased new, they never bothered to take down the Japanese notices about blocking the doorways etc. Gotta wonder why Japan got rid of them. I first came to Bkk in 1975, all the buses were those tin-can things with wooden floors. They still run today on some lines, and they look like they can be 50 years old.

KJU on the wall and 'protein' stains on the carpet. Cue up some mushy 1950s love songs. “and then we fell in love.” The important question is "did they use condoms?" Log Cabin Republicans indeed!

There are a number of posters whose task is to disrupt discussion. Please don't feed the trolls.

Outspoken and not very bright, a true MAGA loyalist.

Maybe Mel is actually Thai. "You pay now!"

No doubt Ms Swift is really really upset by this. Not. This shmuck carries a hammer around?

It is morning in America, wake up and be re-introduced to DT's special prosecutor. DT told Pence, in disgust, "You're too honest." It was a tacit admission of his own dishonesty. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-pence-too-honest-jan-6-scheme-1234799181/ Hey, I thought DT was supposed to be incredibly smart -- he has a relative who works at MIT after all

According to JD and DT they work hard at coming up with these cockamamie things to attract media attention, and those that work in the media should show some respect for their efforts. It doesn't matter if it's true, and who is anyone to say that it must be? Media fact-checking be damned! During the 2012 campaign Mitt said (of the GOP) "we need our own fact checkers," and 4 years later good ol' Kellyanne got the George Orwell award for coming up with the concept of "alternative facts." JD is now in the pantheon of innovative prevaricators. If someone has the thinking facilities to comprehend what is behind what these blackguards are putting out they are probably not MAGA voters. https://www.thedailybeast.com/cnns-dana-bash-shuts-down-jd-vances-migrant-pets-claim-in-blistering-fact-check I get a chuckle out JD's fondness for saying Kamala Harris’ policies. He certainly said it often enough in yesterday's VP debate. Does he have any idea what the job of the VP is?

link please Anyway, it's too late

When you're pumping a billion dollars into a country there is much less chance they will be banning you. Well, until the final check clears. Musk did similar to get Brazil to see things his way just a few days ago. Microsoft handled US gov't quite well: make enough US$500k donations to senators and congressional reps and, gosh darn it, you got yourself a lot of support!

I guess it shows that he's not much of a man. In the TV series Veep, the press sec lost his campaign diary, and when asked what info was in it, he explained that they were telling so many lies that he had to write down the truth to remember what it was. For a real-life incident, a week or two ago Nikki Haley posed a public question to Vance regarding all the idiocy he's been spouting: "do you want to lose?" Another thing about strategy: it used to be that candidates wanted people to vote for them, they wanted to be liked just long enough for a person to pull the lever for them. But now, well, it's hard to express, so I'll give an example: Kari Lake, a MAGA hopeful who keeps loosing elections (because they are all stolen, of course) addressed a rally a few days prior to one of the elections and said "If you were a John McCain supporter GET OUT, I don't want you!" I don't get it, you want people to vote for you or are you recruiting for a cult? Same thing with DT, how is this tactic of insulting and threatening groups of people supposed to get him elected? (*note: McCain was a US senator from her state, who ran against Obama in 2008) But yes, Harris winning the vote is only half the task, the second is getting it past a corrupt Supreme Court, their decision will be dictated by the money men (Crow, and the other people we never hear of) . I suspect it'll be more of a replay of the 2000 debacle.

Living among Italian-Americans back when the first-generation ones were still alive, no gathering will go to waste without some kind of dramatic confrontation. Well, these people aren't supposed to be depicting such, but being that Pacino like to say he is a full Italian (both parents)...

Sure, you can be the one to tell the partially-buzzed Ozzie he can't have another beer.

Yeah, like dropping a nuclear bomb on a hurricane. Is that the kind of judgement that people look for in a leader?

Once in Pattaya I heard this relatively young fellow running around shirtless, his entire torso was tattooed with the ink extending up his neck and covering his shaved cranium. He was talking in a loud voice telling another chap how stupid everybody is. A lot like DT delivering his babble.

Aw, come on, everybody knows who Marx was and what he stood for. The quote in the pic could actually be Vance's guiding influence. "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member." - Groucho Marx

Why not reveal your own home country, and then you can experience moronic comments about it from people all over the world.

Would that be for the same reason DT doesn't invite James Comey or Alexander Vindman to speak at his rallies?
