My guess is that Big Boss is trying to clear his name by hanging the incident on his then-underlings; as they would say in corporate hierarchy "what have they done for me lately?" Maybe he fears the International Criminal Court (aka The Hague) will be paying a visit, and places Boss in the same category as those guys in Myanmar. Will he be officially put in a position of power or just be the hand up the puppet's ass ? Jack Smith, the one in the US investigating their former president, was previously working a case in The Hague involving incidents that took place in Kosovo 20 years before, so yeah, waiting 20 years for this one to ripen sounds about right. (Not to digress or discourage, but I see it as quite feasible that US case will not be settled in this decade.)

Taliban leader says women will be stoned to death in public
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Conservatives are obsessed with going backwards in time. Each has their own quest for how far back they want to go. I used to work with this old Pakistani guy (how old? he was in the British Indian Army in WWII). He liked to tell how Nasser (first president of post-colonial Egypt) handled the fundamentalists: he put all the mullahs on a boat, then sank it. He always laughed when he told it. -
This is a surprise. You-know-who is back in LOS and he really really does not like this topic. Shortly after it, as he headed to an ASEAN meeting, he said "if there is any mention of Tak Bai I'm walking out." He explained it away as the casualties were caused by bullets that were fired into the sky then fell back to Earth.

There is another one gaining prominence, Nancy Mace. Get in between her and a television camera and your life is at risk. (Actually, that statement was recycled from a joke about DT from the 1990s.) You may recall her from that Stephanopoulos accusation a few weeks ago. What I would like to see is a Thunderdome-style MAGA cage fight for VP: Mace, Margie and Boebert: "3 women enter, only one leaves." Here she is in one of her finer moments. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2023/10/11/mace-house-speaker-jordan-democrats-scalise-jake-tapper-lead-vpx.cnn As for that old quote about getting the face you deserve, just about anything that blows up in Margie's face would be an improvement.

But the great existential question must be answered: how much you pay?

A lot of American Black folks, even some who claim to have been to college, are completely ignorant of the geography and population of Africa. Bro Jino here probably wouldn't know Eritrea from Estonia. Sometimes Trevor Noah tells of his experiences among his US brethren, at times laughing in their faces (figuratively).

Oooooooo, some non-Black people used that terrible word that begins with N! This clearly was a hate crime! An international criminal case! A human rights violation! All he was doing was trying to offend people and start a fight while in another country, what's the big deal? If he weren't there this wouldn't have happened. (NOTE: this message consists of 100% sarcasm)

Fighting over a farang customer probably. So there's another fantasy that guys can come to LOS to live out: have women fighting over you.

Obama, Fearing Biden Loss to Trump, Is on the Phone to Strategize
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I worked at the Music Hall as an usher when I was in high school. At that time it was a first-run movie theatre, with the stage show, of course. It was ok, but they kept bugging us to get haircuts (it was the late 1960s). Saw "The Odd Couple" so many damned times I think the entire dialogue is stashed in my memory somewhere. -
Macron Wants to Run Europe’s Foreign Policy. Not Everyone Agrees

If he can handle a country with 246 kinds of cheese, he may be able to handle the EU. -
Biden campaign tests Trump’s name-calling strategy with ‘Broke Don’

I like "Don the Con," as in confidence man. There's "The Man With The Golden Toilet" but TMWTGT needs work. -

Pickpockets theft of Norwegian-Thai couple was karma, say cops
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Ok, karma. Or maybe "It was God's will." You can get a lot of mileage out of that one. Or as the US Protestants like to say "thoughts and prayers." -
Julian Assange faces further wait over extradition ruling
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
DT and his more dastardly enablers (like Roger Stone) were supposedly trying hard to get Assange extradited when he was in the WH. I suspect they were looking to make use of his talents in the 2020 election, not stick him in a supermax. -
