They are trying to catch up to the NY Post, which is fond of reporting fart stories.

I agree. If this was intentional they were probably thinking he'd be too embarrassed to make a fuss.

Haven't tried this lately, but I used to drop in at the TAT office when arriving at BKK. Most of the ads in the stuff they handed out had to do with companionship. Pretty bold. The Skin Business in LOS is not clandestine. Amusement park? Would YOU let your kid go on a ride in Thailand?

They heard that Thailand has run out of shrimp.

You have to learn the difference between a horse and a jackass.

He says these things himself, where the hell does controversy come in? He promises a martial law government declared at inauguration. Is this what you guys who from the US want? (psssst! Personal weapons are seized under martial law, they'll be coming for your guns, and it won't be the liberals. And they won't take them gently.)

Your poor mum!

When and if all this is settled there will be lawsuits against DT (or his estate, if there is anything left after he's gone) for provoking his MAGA followers to go after his enemies. Not just for the for physical harm but also for expenses in having to hire security and the having to live in fear. Mitt Romney and Nancy Pelosi could start the ball rolling now. Have you seen what they call him? Behind his back, of course. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/11/liz-cheney-book-orange-jesus

"You can't ask me questions when I'm holding a baby!"

That hand gesture is just as insulting as the middle-finger salute in some parts of the world. I guess he's going for a "global offensive."

Check the golf course?

Indian prison? Forget bottled water and clean toilets. His digestive system will remember this adventure the rest of his days. And then there is the prisoner experience itself: baksheesh and sadism.

Those Malaysian states in that part of the country are like the Bible Belt in the US. Kelantan translates to Arkansas. There was story a few years back about a retired foreign couple visiting Kota Bharu. The police came to their hotel room and demanded proof that they were married. It was enough of an incident to make the newspapers.

It's about time! The old saying the good die young. 2008 Olympics in Beijing he showed up at the stadium. They stuck him and his missus in a an unsheltered bleachers under the hot summer sun. Saw a shot on TV (in Malaysia) of the two leaving, both looked in very bad shape. No VIP section or bodyguards for them!

Muskie is perpetuating the hate and alienation of S. Africa's apartheid era. In that country the hate campaigns are now aimed at foreigners, usually people native to other African countries. Once "that problem is solved" it will be the different SA tribes declaring war on each other. Bad seeds produce trees that produce their own bad seeds. The tech brilliance of his younger days is one thing, but now he is proving himself to be a world-class dumb_ss (literally!) with stuff like this: Elon Musk boosts Pizzagate conspiracy theory that led to D.C. gunfire I suspect he is heading toward something tragic.

My guess it's from 2008.

Now he can blame the failure of Twitter on someone, I wonder what group of people he will name. . .

Why the heck would anybody believe Mike Huckabee? Or his daughter, who may have presidential aspirations.

Another successful maneuver to get attention.

He'll take it from his trouser pocket and put it in his shirt pocket. That'll teach him, and he'll think twice before trying it again.

Falang no good! You gip munee and go home you country.

He's courting the congressional GOP establishment, who love taking things away. On the other hand the health care and pharma businesses are rolling in dough from the hikes in medical costs since the it looked like the ACA was going to happen. The GOP desire to scrap ACA or anything like it is a religious quest, the "no nothing for nobody" ideal. On the other hand the medical businesses are lining the politicians pockets (both parties), so principles be damned. We had a couple of Republican Senators who campaigned for 6 years against it, and then raised their hands not to terminate it. Yep. And it ain't gonna change. Or maybe ol' orange face is just changing his tune for a while to take a break from the usual hate & fear effluvium.

There were recent polls that showed people were buying into this stolen election bs in favor of DT, but the same polls showed his support would drop if he was convicted. Yeah, these polls are easy to toss off, but they do provide a heads up for what may come. Right-wing media is driving the sympathy. And it's the only thing that will work for the MAGA agenda (ha-ha) to get him validly elected. And getting himself back into the WH is crucial to pardoning himself and his cabal. The only alternative would be taking the gov't by force, beginning with martial law on inauguration day. Bringing this around to the current GOP primaries, I'm wondering about something along these lines: the GOP picks a candidate (by however means) other than DT, that candidate wins the general election, and the MAGA crowd "declares war" on the GOP in the run-up to the inauguration.

Could have bought a submarine instead. I'm trying to picture the level of scandal that will be borne of this, a grifter's dream.

Just out of curiosity were you allowed to serve prawns? I ask because I've been told they are haram but not many Muslims are concerned about it. Selected Muslim and Jewish writers sometimes bring this up with a bit of humor; the taboo is from the Old Testament, or so I've been told. There used to be a chippy near Soi Cowboy, is it still there?
