Stormy Daniels: Trump invited to testify before grand jury
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Ga. Republicans push for prosecutorial oversight amid Trump election probe I'm giving up on the Georgia case, though I hope that Willis succeeds. And of course, them good ol' boys are swearing up and down this has nothing to do with the color orange. Waiting to hear the defense on the infamous phone call, that by "votes" he meant Facebook likes, to which Judge Peckerwood responds "make sense to me!" They can use the "nobody is so stupid they would believe he'd say such a thing" defense, which apparently has precedent: Fox News won a court case by 'persuasively' arguing that no 'reasonable viewer' takes TC seriously -
“I had a lot of high-profile clients and often visited their homes. But Andrew was very different,” Emma Gruenbaum, 50, told the Sun of her six “sleazy” sessions with the scandal-scarred duke in 2005. “He was a constant sex pest right from the start,” Gruenbaum insisted. In other words, the fellow is truly a pain in the _ss. Can you picture Piers Morgan asking Ms. Ferguson about this?

Will gold shops buy non-Thai 18k gold
bendejo replied to Sandboxer's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I went through this once in Malaysia. I was considering buying gold as an investment, that I could cash in anywhere in the region. One shopkeeper explained a lot of it to me, and I don't recall many details but suffice to say I was not encouraged, and props to the fellow for not trying to pull some stunt on the gwee low (sp?). Also had a gold wedding band from the US I had tried to sell off in LOS before this, no one was interested. One fellow told me out here they like the very yellow-colored stuff. I guess in Thailand they add something to it specifically for the color. -
DeSantis seeks $98 million to fund Florida’s own military

Maybe China will sell him a submarine. This screwball idea puts Florida ahead of Idaho and Texas on the "most likely to (try to) secede" roster. -

Is this supposed to dovetail with that crazy lady's idea of a red state/blue state split? -
Michael Flynn Is Suing The Government for $50 Million
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
Supposedly, in the one meeting Obama had with DT pre-inauguration he warned him about Flynn and that there were charges coming his his way. My guess is that DT thought Obama was trying to undermine him by telling him that. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/obama-warned-trump-against-hiring-mike-flynn-say-officials-n756316 -
The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Until your enemy is vanquished. Liz may not be MAGA but she is quite the stiff-necked conservative, "pioneer stock" as they say in that part of the country. Yeah, we know who her dad is, but I've heard a few times that ma is no slouch either. Kinzinger may come off as an Opie, but I hope he does not get back into public office. He's no less conservative than Liz.

Michael Flynn Is Suing The Government for $50 Million
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
This is from 2 years ago, it gives an intro into what he's been doing since: If You're Shocked by Michael Flynn's Call for a Coup, You Haven't Been Paying Attention Last summer he was traveling the country doing a "Jesus & America" tent revival. -
Twitter can’t protect you from trolls any more, insiders say
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Being in favor of free speech doesn't count when the other person disagrees with you. As I used to say of the Berkeley free-speech movement: those free-speech activists won't abide with you disagreeing with them. For a similar look at the word free, all the restrictions and censorship the governor of Florida is doing is in the cause of freedom, according to him. The present owner of Twitter bought the company in pursuit of free speech, meaning his own free speech, and everyone else can go to hell. It's time to send Twitter the way MySpace. -

This is about the upcoming presidential election. He's setting himself up as the persecuted patriot. Is he going to make the run himself or be DT's pitbull? -
So long as he's running something he has something to base his donations pleas on, and the ________ will keep sending him money. Oh wait . . . “He doesn’t need their money,” Trump Jr. said on Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) when asked about his father’s appeal to the grassroots vs. the corporate interests.

AOC under investigation for Met Gala dress reading "Tax The Rich"
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
The words were in English. Only. Done with no regard for other languages. Clearly bigoted and imperialistic. If you were a Thai you would be pointing at her. Next time she needs to have dresses in different languages. It would be interesting to know how many members of US Congress are fluently multi-lingual. (No exaggerating like they did with W Bush being bilingual, "via con queso!") -

Walk around lower Sukhumvit at night, you might meet a down and out Jedi who could use to earn a few bucks. -
Michael Knowles Says Transgenderism Must Be ‘Eradicated’ at CPAC
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Where's Uncle Milty when we need him? Thinking back, there were several drag acts on highly-censored US television in the 1950-60s. Jonathan Winters did a feisty old granny, Flip Wilson did Geraldine. I remember when Milton Berle did that pic above, they were spoofing Liz Taylor's Cleopatra movie, scandals and problems regarding the making of the movie dominated the media at the time.
