  1. Big news, actually. Mie Sedaap is about as popular in Indonesia as Campbell's soup is in the US.
  2. They're not stopping him from broadcasting, or are they? Like when Manafort was out on bail, they let him get away with witness intimidation over the phone from home. The guy likes his drink (it's as plain as the nose on his face ???? ), four months detox looms ahead.
  3. Ivanka is the one with the brains, plus she has a husband with his own enterprise. Tiff is probably going to change her name when the old man dies. Uday and Qusay Eric and Junior dwell in a subjective reality, just read any of their quotes in the media. If you say "criminal and bankrupt enterprise" they'll parry with Hillary, Hunter and the Deep State.
  4. Catch-22: you can't be classified as crazy if you tell them you're crazy. No matter, he would never admit to that short of dodging the death penalty. In certain circles in the US extreme narcissism is about as common as being allergic to peanuts. The hi-tech boom of the past 30 or so years has produced a bumper crop of them, to say nothing of what the social media stuff is now fostering. The more prominent egos manage to get themselves in the news almost daily, no need to specify there. I used to think Larry Ellison was the pinnacle of this, but an even newer arrogance is emerging. On the other hand I know someone who is not only self-obsessed and superior, but is also a masochist who seems to get off on being called a loser (just like his mama used to call him). And it's not like this guy is wealthy, talented, accomplished or successful in any noteworthy way.
  5. The white power types will protect him. I read there are jails where the "patriots" are kept separately from the other criminals, probably for their own protection. I'd like to see this dip thrown into general population: he'll probably be out of there in less than four months, but he won't be breathing that long. But maybe a threat to his life on the inside will be part of the sentence appeal. I once mentioned club fed on TVF a few years back a lot of very bright lads lit into me for mentioning something that doesn't exist. I'd bet that the Bannon sentencing was taken as a green light for this subpoena.
  6. If not for the timing of the Queen's death her tenure would have been shorter. She was probably the last outsider to palace to meet with the Queen, hmmmm . . .
  7. There has been this idea floating around that DT truly believes he won the election and thus did and said things based on that, and perhaps proficient lawyers can play it for exoneration. It's called diminished capacity. I would think he wouldn't like that one because it implies bats in the belfry. If his kids were bolder and smarter they could play on that to take control of the enterprise and send him off to Pleasant Valley Rest Home. Well, looks like that excuse is no more. I would have thought "c'mon guys, just get me 11,000 votes" would be enough.
  8. Well, the first thing is you have to question how these studies come up with their numbers. I would think any smart student would never tell a survey-taker "yes" because it could get them expelled, arrested, shamed, and whatever else. To illustrate how shocking knowledge of it's use can still be go back to not long ago when a certain attention-craving entrepreneur supposedly took a toke from a passed joint during a podcast and when word got out the price of his company's stock immediately dropped ("the CEO is on drugs!") and and it seemed every media outlet covered the story. In states where recreational is legal, in my experience, the shops often do suggestive selling of edibles. There are no telltale clues with these things: no dogs can sniff them out, no smells of pollen, burning, vaping etc. Gummies, chocolate bars, and hard candies look like any other candies. Even a dorm-mate may not know you're so inclined. Personally I think the biggest threat is people doing concentrates and using those mini-flamethrowers while they're high, there's a disaster just waiting to happen there. I'm concerned my neighbors are going to burn the house down. I admit I'm somewhat clumsy under the influence, I won't even get a glass bong because I'll probably break it in a few days.
  9. Thanks for this, good info. Waiting for DT to come to her defense that nevertrumpers are discriminating against a woman, something he himself would never do
  10. It's been pointed out by political commentators that GOP members of US Congress are keeping suspiciously mum on the subject of cannabis. I think it has something to do with a former GOP Speaker of the House (Boehner) who is known, these days, for working for cannabis interests. Other than those with philosophical reasons against the stuff the biggest challenge would come from the alcoholic beverage industry, afraid of things like football tailgate partys where joints will replace beer.
  11. While she's not as bad as the US's Sarah Palin she is making the same mistakes: just because someone can manage to get on the ballot or actually obtain a position of authority does not mean they have the wherewithal for the job. By her body language and facial expression these days I think she has figured that out about herself.
  12. Be careful with the button that is labeled in only Japanese, the translation for that one would be enema.
  13. About as valid as the one about Michelle Obama making a run. Not as funny either. Sounds like you guys are looking for a new woman to demonize.
  14. I saw a guy doing this on Phetchaburi Rd one afternoon at commute time (heading in the direction of KSR). I was eating at a stall, the lady that ran the place answered a phone call and started looking at me, then says something to me about a farang while pointing to the street. People came out of shops and alleys to see him, they seemed pretty entertained. The traffic was blocking him while he managed to keep moving. Farang have to give money.
  15. I consider these a favor to the boss in Moscow. He didn't want someone on Team Biden to stop it with a phone call.
  16. Two big mugs of very good coffee every morning, each mug takes an hour to consume. If it took three hours no matter. A life of luxury from my point of view.
  17. Tajikistan! That country is nowhere near Ukraine. Sounds like their gov sent them to please Vlad, and the guys aren't happy. Chechans too are being drafted and sent there, they don't sound too happy either. And now that swine in Belarus sending the country's young. Could this be the beginning of a grass-roots uprising between Russia and the people of it's block? Maybe soon will be revealed that Russian soldiers are dying from being shot in the back of the head.
  18. Sigh. Years of GOP gerrymandering first delivered W, a success by their standards ("just sign what we give you, dummy"), and then a second popular loss/electoral win and the party gets their biggest booby prize. I've stated before I'll never again use the expression "no one is that stupid." As Grover Norquist (Mr Tax Pledge) said during the 2012 presidential campaign "it doesn't matter who the GOP nominates, we just need someone to sign our legislation." (I keep recalling that amid this Herschel Walker mishigas.) But I do suspect the orange guy has taken some pleasure in shredding the Republican party. And just think: he was ready to drop out when the Access Hollywood tape came out, and Bannon talked him out of it.
  19. Some time ago, around the early 2000s, someone built a development just outside NYC, condos and offices. He was having trouble getting people interested. After a while he came up with the idea of getting DT to attach his name to it, paid him a million dollars. And the units sold like hotcakes. A friend from the area told me about it back when. This is the place: Westchester condo complex dumps Trump name I don't think there any doubt, with himself included, that going into politics was the worst decision of his life.
  20. Co-founder of Trump’s media company details Truth Social’s bitter infighting if that gets caught in the paywall, go this way The man sure knows how to run a company.
