Just because a doc was still at one of his golf courses when they searched says absolutely nothing regarding the info on it, it could have been copied, relayed (faxed), or photographed. Perhaps that's why that Chinese woman with a load of electronics was trying to gain entry a few years ago. I still say they should have a look at his foreign properties.

Trump claims US does not have ‘real elections,’ calls for paper ballots
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Yes. This is why I say the Dems are not running against against him or the GOP, they are running against the stories him and his followers come up with. Also, he and his reveal their own skullduggery in their accusations of the Dems. He'll talk of how they hate the country and want to destroy it, but it was "his people" doing the 1/6 stuff. And then there is this a nearly endless series of things like this: How a Trump appointee tried to destroy Voice of America Around a week before the 2016 election he began saying the upcoming election was rigged. After he was declared winner he should have been challenged on this by either authorities or the media: "So, this election was rigged? Do tell!" -
Woke up hazey and sore the next day?

Another naked Brit running wild. I think Brexit has been so rough the guys can't afford clothes.

It's all part of the Baloney Factory, to put it in G-rated terms. Like in the EJean case. After it was over the orange guy made like he was deprived of defending himself in court, but he decided against taking the stand, and opted out of even attending and facing the plaintiff. A blameless person would have taken this chance to "straighten this out once and for all." Yes. This is the stance but not necessarily MAGA. When Clinton was impeached there were some in the GOP who admitted it was payback for Nixon: it should be pointed out that Nixon was not impeached, and that it was the sentiment and actions of his own party that had him drummed out of office. It should be noted that the person who brokered the resignation (HW Bush) himself ran for president afterwards. Three times, actually. Ah, but this was back when the GOP was concerned about it's image of caring about the country and took a law & order stance.

I've been thinking along the same lines. They said the passenger area was app. the size of a pickup truck's bed, and that they were bolted in. So that's five people, talk about "clubby." It's not clear whether if the thing managed to float to the surface they would have access to the fresh air. And then the pressure experienced from the uncontrolled ascent to the surface is another risk. Also the human experience: aware that these can be your living moments, sealed in a metal canister. Not just your own behavior/emotions, but that of the others. This is not meant as a joke, but does the thing have a toilet? Whether it does or not dials up the misery.

I would wager that she didn't buy it, it was given to her as a promotional ploy. "Oh, look at Lilnu! I want a bag like hers!" Is it possible she had it insured, and if it's stolen she gets a pile of cash? Was she in on it with the thief and he flubbed it? There's a lot people in the world with more $$$ than they will ever be able to spend; one of the richest men in the world is the owner of LVMH.

But it's not enough to just stand off to the side and say "oooo, they're not supposed to do that!" the way the Dems did during 45's time in the WH, and in the preceding 8 years when the other side was gerrymandering them out of votes. It usually happens that the GOP are in lock-step, and descent is not tolerated (like L. Cheney and Kinzinger, look at how quickly they were removed), while with the Dems it's like herding cats. The current GOP speaker does not have the infamous Republican grip on things, maybe this is part of the MAGA era change. I liked something Ross Perot was saying back in 1992: each side is blaming the other for the mess, but it has to be between them because they were the only ones there.

Pattaya City Launches Sweeping Operation on Homeless and Beggars

If the BiB bust a beggar do they get to keep all the beggar's ill-gotten gains? Eyes on the prize. -
Pirelli: Italy moves to block Chinese control of tyre giant
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Part of the plan of controlling the world as far as they can. Japan tried to control the world market of computer memory chips, this was around 1990. If interested look it up to understand how it was done. I could see China using the same tactics with tires. Or maybe they can just buy Akron, Ohio. A decade or two ago China had designs on buying a substantial piece of North American railway infrastructure, a certain US financier bought it up the stave them off. -
Trump is a criminal, Biden is too old and DeSantis is a fascist
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
When I consider Biden dropping out out of the race, I cringe at the memory of the Dem primaries of 2020, where I didn't like any of them. Biden turned out to be better than I expected. Bernie and Warren couldn't get through the general election, and we all know that, but serve their purpose as keepers of the flame. -
Global network of sadistic monkey torture exposed by BBC

I hate monkeys (if you ever lived in India you'd understand) but this guy is one sick specimen. "I make blood come from mouth, hahaha." -
Man falls 4,000 feet to his death from Grand Canyon Skywalk
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Personally I view killing yourself as a right. Your life, yours to take or leave. A thirty second fall that will probably feel like an eternity until hard contact. What a way to go! Old saying: the only way to cheat death is to take your own life. -

First POTUS to quote a Sex Pistols lyric while in office! -

Add to this what he is NOT doing: alienating people from each other, censoring language, banning books, upsetting school curriculums and educational standards, human trafficking of immigrants, just to name a few. IMO opinion Biden will not just be running against at least one GOP-type candidate, he'll be up against a load ridiculous rubbish like baby eating, child-sex trafficking, and whatever else the pro-fascist media can come up with. -
Trump appeals verdict finding him liable for sexual assault
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Addressing the meaning of rape vs sexual assault. My apologies in advance for the graphic content, but I am quoting The Atlantic, not a porn site. Looking at the incident Lara Logan went through in Tahir Square https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/07/lara-logan-60-minutes-correspondent-conspiracy-theories/674168/ raped her with their hands -
Yes, all those military personnel, aka gov't employees, are going to sacrifice their own, and their family's, well being, futures, pensions etc in support of a man-baby who, if he really were innocent, would be putting up a defense instead of screaming about it, which he does so much it's obvious he has something to hide.

Pattaya Transgender Person Pickpockets Russian Couple and Gets Arrested
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
They both are, but one prefers the label "open minded." -
IMO Barr sleeps restlessly at night, in fear of all this catching up to him. I know that he afraid of Contempt of Congress, he really changed his tune when that term popped up. He was otherwise pretty brazen. Whenever I see him on TV I think he is trying to polish a turd (his reputation) and try to pass as a decent guy. He'll make remarks, and then laugh at them, trying to make people think he has a sense of humor. He might have better luck with a wooppee cushion.

The door of a passenger aircraft gets stuck open mid-flight in Brazil
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The important thing is they survived. It could have been like this: -
GOP is above the law, it gets intercepted before court cases can be established. During the 2000 Florida recount days HW Bush was on a TV talk show, and when the interviewer mentioned recusal HW said something like "oh yeah, I have to "recuse" myself" -- emphasis is his, he was obviously scoffing. The Dems, on the other hand, are a little too quick to give in when things look inappropriate, look at how quickly Al Franken go tossed out. That said, I still find it bewildering that Dick Cheney didn't use his clout to protect Liz: maybe he wanted to but she wouldn't let him. There is nothing that this Crow cannot buy.
