And there it is: why do they say these guys are so weird? Because they bring up stuff like this.

When all this MAGA corruption has been eliminated Liz is going to be at the top of the heap of whatever replaces the present MAGA party, and I'm not looking forward to it. The only thing likeable about her is she's vehemently anti-MAGA, otherwise she's still as conservative as she's always been.

Most definitely a new Attorney General, preferably a hanging judge willing to clean up the MAGA cesspit. One to take on a corrupt Supreme Court taken over by fascists (and their wives) who have reduced the Chief Justice to be their errand boy. Don't have any names, but someone like this guy.

It can be considered an American tradition that presidents and VP are alienated. FDR never spoke to Truman, Ike hated Nixon, said it straight out. JFK and LBJ had zero love, and so on. [psst, did HWBush order a shot at Ronnie?] Carter was a governor, not a DC guy, probably forgot the VPs name during his admin, I know I did . Maybe never saw him again after the inauguration.

How could you possibly leave out money in politics ? The possibility of success is measured by money. A candidate openly selling favors, like a street hustler pushing fake Rolexes. Convicted felon running for president, doesn't know a socialist from a social worker. What a country! It's called inheritance. Effortless, you just sit there and they hand it to you. DonJr has been practicing for years.

Perhaps he doesn't care about the things you mentioned. It was decades ago that a certain real estate magnate (female) did state that "laws were for little people." I would think that someone who can buy and sell politicians might consider himself above the law -- there's a lot of that going around these days, you may have noticed. Rhetorically, in the same vein, why doesn't Clarence Thomas support anti-discrimination measures for Black folks?

Just because Thiel (or any politician) is gay is no reason to assume they will be sympathetic to the cause. I recall Thiel was bothered when he was outed. Liz Cheney has a gay sister but she puts as much distance between them (publicly) as possible. Lynne Cheney is the matriarch and reputed to be just as sweet and lovable as her husband (sarcasm alert!) yet wrote a book on pioneer life in the western US that is quite sympathetic to ways women comforted each other while their men were away riding the range. And then there is: Conservative leader Matt Schlapp is accused of fondling a male campaign staffer in Georgia There was a character in the "Veep" series played by Patton Oswald that was either inspired by Schlapp, or Schlapp was inspired by the character. On the other hand, there was a porn actress (Brandi Love, I think) that was a MAGA booster, sort of a MTG type, who was run out of a CPAC for being what she is.

The question should be "how much did Thiel pay DT to take Vance?" The answer will take 4 years to be revealed, then another 4 years to bring to court, so, see ya in 2032. Just because someone makes a promise while campaigning in no way implies they are going to follow through. Saint Ronald of Reagan stuck it to the Christian Right as such. Twice.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328589/ Yeah, it's a chick flick, but scrape off the cute Hollywood stuff and this will give an idea of what it will be like to buy a $1 house in Italy. For Japan, wouldn't want to have the face the bill for having this roof re-tiled. Those charismatic old wooden houses don't seem to be insulated.

I knew better to respond to you but I did anyway. My bad.

Personality. Watch one of his TV appearances. If you're hoping for extreme left communist fascist very bad things etc prepare to be disappointed.

I like Walz. In regard to who brings in votes, Kelly: Americans love astronauts. Or at least did.

Is Thai prison system sensitive to dietary restrictions of the inmates? "Hey Abdul, do you want the pig bone or just the fat?" "Sharia? Oh yeah, she worked a gogo on Walking Street, but she quit and married a farang."

DT doesn't debate, he just does his usual prattle of insults, deprecations and lies, pivots from questions, dodges any sort of blame, and is the perpetual victim. He can't use medical excuses as he's to much of macho man to be sick, even though he obviously has a lot to hide in this regard, e.g. his continued questions to others about HPV. So this (maybe) billionaire addresses the public and tells them to send him even more money, which is actually funny. The weird thing is people ACTUALLY DO, in the millions! I guess him knowing he can pull off such a thing gives him a sense of power. But it does seem his followers for the most part DO have enough sense to not do another 1/6 -type event, seeing as how he let them sit in jail and not pardon them; all his "calling for" support at his various trials hasn't been met with what he wanted. He knows he's going to lose, it's time to start planning for the next round of stolen election claims. I don't expect Biden to do this, but he should bring in a REAL Attorney General, sleeping on the job should be reserves for Congress members.

Well, not private, but one time I went to Mahidol tropical disease clinic and the receptionist couldn't find anyone nearby who spoke English, so I ended up speaking to a fellow who was high up in scientific researchers there. He was a relatively young guy, no apparent attitude about his position. There was a lot of dengue at the time, and he told me with a laugh that the only tried-and-true mosquito repellent they came up with was DEET. I was headed for the back of beyond elsewhere in SEA and he educated me on the use of antimalarials.

As James Carville put it "you know there's ketchup bottles flying down there!"

Trump Demands Transparency on U.S.-Russia Prisoner Swap Details . . . and people in hell demand ice water. Does the release signal that Putin is displeased with his Donny?

Which one?

Will Trump Dump Vance? And return Peter Thiel's $$$ ? Could it be possible DT ends up dropping out?

No pity. He was not dragged into the DT cesspit, he inserted himself. When DT was saying that on the evening of 9/11 Muslims were having tailgate parties in celebration, etc. Rudy came up with BS evidence of this. It is still a bit curious how that whole 2020 stolen election fools' parade was brought together. When Rudy was younger he bore a resemblance to certain relatives of mine, I suspect we might be related; don't tell him that, he'll probably ask me to loan him money. Speaking of resemblance, I suspect DT keeps Habba around because she resembles young Melania (and I suspect she keeps him happy).

Rudy told Sidney Powell "you are the worst lawyer I've ever seen." There have been rumors that Rudy is a vampire, and vampires can't see their own reflection in a mirror, so maybe Rudy was telling the truth for a change. Alina Habba?

He is not uncouth! He is more couth than anyone has ever seen! Everywhere he goes people come up to him and say "Sir, you are more couth than anyone who ever lived." If they don't he insults them, call them names, anything to diminish them, just like any other spoiled 10-year-old would do. It's not any easy job, poor guy, he's running out of vituperatives and has to recycle the slams he started using in 2015. He should remove himself from the race and hand the candidacy over to Vance: it will cause the Dems to be as thunderstruck as he was when Biden dropped out.

It's about darn time! I've been waiting for the stuff about money laundering to catch up with him since Jan 20 2017. Whether Garland will do anything about it, well I wouldn't advise holding your breath for it, Garland is, well, I don't know, very busy with other things?

Nope, just my recall, and I don't follow sports. I don't think it got very far, they were pretty obvious. Must be recorded somewhere.

In the 1970s the Soviets gave sex change operations to male weightlifters and then sent them to the Olympics to compete as women. It was not voluntary, well, call it forced voluntary, had nothing to do with discovering their true self etc. The world was appalled and if I recall correctly the Olympics sanctioned them. Times have changed.
