Did they hit the Best Buy for big screens yet? Because that's what you really need to get you through an emergency... Not food. Not water. Just sneakers and big screens. I still remember Katrina when most people tuned in to the news were perfectly okay with the looters taking food and water from the WalMart. Some of them even tried to leave money to pay for what they took. (You can guess how that went.) But most of us do draw a line at stealing big screens and jewelry to weather the storm.

They had that "tenuous grip" after a month or so. My CNN battlefront map has moved only slightly since Feb, 2023. The last 2 years or so, they've just been getting sniped at around the edges. Which leads me to believe that Putin was honest when he stated his objectives from the start (a buffer zone in Donbas), and has no designs on the rest of Ukraine, much less all of Europe. But the warmongers in Germany want to make their people afraid of the Red Menace...

This on a forum where a recurring topic of conversation is (and I'm paraphrasing here) "How young can she be and I still don't get in trouble?" I'm not defending the pedo, or blaming the 13 year old. Just suggesting that maybe they need to dig deeper than the French guy. Or she'll get pimped out again.

Yup. I read it. It comes across as the typical Thai media story of prostitution. Foreigner bad, Thai police heroes. But pay no attention to the elephant in the room. How was it that she ended up in the local residence, and was she really confined, or was she just doing what her pimps were telling her to do?

You get it, too.

You get it...

Again, you're missing the glaring issue. Did someone pimp her out to him? If so, they should be hunted down, too. Or they'll just pimp her (and others) out again. If the French guy abducted her off the street, then he's the only one who should be strung up. But I doubt that's the way it happened. The OP isn't clear about that, and I don't think that's accidental.

The most disturbing to me is that they seem to be covering up whether she was pimped out to the guy. Which would implicate other people to be prosecuted, wouldn't it?

Getting pretty far afield there. The topic is unvetted immigration. Is it racist to be against inviting people in that you then have to support financially, and who advocate the downfall of your very society? I think not. And it has very little to do with race or skin color.

You'd be satisfied with stringing up the one guy and let her pimps get away scot free? So they can pimp her out again...

Make sure you give them due process or you'll really cheez off a bunch of posters here.

No doubt. String the guy up by his nuts. But also go after anyone who pimped her out to him. If he kidnapped her, nobody else needs to worry. If she was pimped out to him, someone else should be real nervous.

Ruh roh... Now the mostly peaceful arsonists are burning Waymo cars. While Judy Chu (D) claims it's under control, nuthin' to see here.

Sure I am. Clinton and Obama deported a bunch, the same way Trump is deporting them now. Why was that legal and this isn't? Here's a hint: First letter T, 3rd letter S. We're not allowed to fill in the blank.

You never heard of Lolita? Was she a willing participant? Was she pimped out? Or was she kidnapped and held against her will? Despicable in any case, but a completely different story depending on how it happened. The French guy's probably not the only one they need to bang up.

Not at all. What amazes me is all the posters who cheer when Thailand deports a Russkie or an Indian but don't think the USA should deport our benefit thieves. For Trump to get rid of all the illegals Biden let in, they'd have to deport 8000 a day throughout his term. They're doing around 800 a day, so they're focusing on the worst of the worst. But the MSM won't acknowledge that. All they show is the sad cases where pretty decent people get caught up in it.

Preventing them from going on shoplifting sprees mostly peaceful shopping trips with no money is the challenge.

Look up GDP per capita, then correlate that with the founding principals of the countries. How many non Judeo-Christian societies in the top 25%? (Other than where God happened to put a bunch of oil...)

Between burning a Bible and burning a Quran, which one would get you the stink eye from passers by and which one would get you tossed in jail (or worse)?

Here's a little thought experiment for you to ponder: Imagine burning a Bible in public in London. Now, imagine burning a Quran...

I think you're in for a rough patch. Self inflicted by lefties.

That's what lefties do if you disagree with them. They accuse you of being racist or fascist. When all you really want is some continuity. There's a reason that living standards are generally higher where Judeo-Christian values have guided things for centuries.

They're virtue signaling so they can point to their Herculean efforts to stamp out IP theft when they do come to the table. Also, I'm pretty sure they're negotiating already. Just not made any announcements for public consumption...

They keep harping on race, but it's about culture. Western culture works because it's based on 1000+ years of Judeo-Christian values. The laws are written around them and societal norms (even etiquette) are based on them.

More lefty tears. Gonna be a rough 11.5 years... 3.5 Trump and 8 JD...
