ABC & G.Stephanopoulis made to pay & apology to Trump
impulse replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
If it was my loved one, we would have reported it on the day, to the store and to the police. Not waited for 30+ years, during a contested election, forget when it even happened, and have absolutely no credible evidence. -
ABC & G.Stephanopoulis made to pay & apology to Trump

She may have been more convincing if she remembered what year it happened, provided any corroborating witnesses, reported it to the store or the popo, sued the store, been younger than 50+ years old when it allegedly happened, and not out selling books (and during an election cycle, no less). -
The alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare's CEO Brian Thompson was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an employee contacted police, and now all three fast-food restaurants in town are inundated with 1-star reviews. No comment on my part, except this is crazy... Or, more accurately, another symptom of crazy.

ABC & G.Stephanopoulis made to pay & apology to Trump

You did catch the irony that $2 million was for the assault and the other $80+ million was for the mean words, right? Meaning that the judge and jury decided that the mean words were 40x as bad as being assaulted. It's a mystery to me why the SJW feminists didn't call that out. Well, not a mystery, really. -
My bet would be the US gub'ment testing public response to an as-yet classified drone program. They want to see how adversaries' publics would respond if they were suddenly inundated with drones flying in formation at night. Not to mention, how the US public would respond, and whether any good ole' boys can shoot them down.

Russian Tourist Rescued After Kayak Capsizes Off Koh Chang
impulse replied to Georgealbert's topic in Eastern Thailand News
Don't know in this case, but I always carried (still carry) a cell phone in a waterproof kayak bag, whether I was at sea, on a lake, or in a river. I don't recall how far offshore the coverage was in Koh Chang. In fact, I don't think I pulled the phone out of the bag on my paddles off Koh Chang. It was for emergencies only. Too easy to drop one overboard in any kind of chop. -
If you're happy with her the way she is, she must be trying to please someone else. Next, it'll be those balloon lips that all the influencers are showing off. I hate those, and the big butt look. Not too keen on boobs that fail the pencil test, especially on purpose...

Russian Tourist Rescued After Kayak Capsizes Off Koh Chang
impulse replied to Georgealbert's topic in Eastern Thailand News
You'd be surprised how easy it is to capsize a kayak, even in dead calm water. Especially if you're looking around and behind you. A moment's distraction and over you go. Ask me how I know that... Even easier if it's filling up with sloshing water. -
British Man Arrested for Jewellery Theft from Tourists in Pattaya

Good catch (if true, and I'm not doubting it is...) , but that doesn't negate the fact that they were balls deep in the Boeing tragedy, the opioid crisis and the health insurance debacle. "If Allstate moved from "Good Hands" to "Boxing Gloves," as McKinsey described it, policyholders would either take a lowball offer from the good hands people or face the boxing gloves of extended litigation." All resulting in thousands of deaths and millions of lives ruined. And they're buying their way out of being held personally liable and risking prison, behind the corporate shield. Proving once again that if you have a lot of money, good lawyers, and the right business structure, you can kill people and just pay your way out. Yet another reason for public outrage... And it's not just the partners. They have thousands of employee consultants doling out the horrible, greed driven advice. I've been subject to several McKinsey audits and "studies" at various employers and never felt clean when it was all said and done.

Russian Tourist Rescued After Kayak Capsizes Off Koh Chang
impulse replied to Georgealbert's topic in Eastern Thailand News
One or both of those hatches must have been leaking. Probably lost the rubber hatch cover(s). Easy to do, especially on a hotel loaner. The plastic itself floats, even with no air in the hull. But just barely. Could just as easily have been me, kayaking solo off Koh Chang. With plenty of daylight left, I started toward some smaller islands to the south. They were further than they looked. Discretion turned me around after paddling a mile or 2. And my kayak wasn't a rental or a hotel loaner, so the hatches were intact. Kudos to the guy for wearing his life jacket. -

I can't help but wonder if he paid "less", and that's the reported insurance value. -
Speaking of McKinsey... A consulting giant that helped fuel the United States’ deadly opioid epidemic agreed to pay a massive settlement to avoid criminal prosecution, according to court papers filed Friday. McKinsey & Company, an international management consulting firm that advised Purdue Pharma to “turbocharge” sales of Oxycontin during the height of the opioid crisis, entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) that will require the firm to pay a $650 million settlement over five years. Now, McKinsey is going to pay out a settlement with innocent shareholders' money to shelter their guilty employees from prosecution. For leading to the deaths of thousands. Yup. He got the wrong guy... And while I personally disagree with his methods, it's not hard to figure out why he's become something of a folk hero. ‘Source Of Profound Regret’: McKinsey Pays Half Billion Settlement To Avoid Prosecution For Fueling Opioid Crisis | The Daily Caller

How the Woke Turned a Suspected Killer Into a Cultural Icon

I'm not claiming they're woke, or lefty or anything. But Google "Mangione T shirts" or "Mangione coffee mugs" and the guy has become something of a cultural icon. What we used to call a Poster Boy... -
President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will make their way to Landover, Maryland, on Saturday to attend the Army-Navy football game and will be joined by Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran recently acquitted in the subway chokehold case in New York City. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-vance-attend-army-navy-game-daniel-penny/story?id=116774267 That sound you're hearing, from all the way in Asia, is race baiter heads exploding.

Yeah. The NY Dems will push open the statute of limitations for a brief window to get yet another Trump. For something he didn't do 30 years ago. -

Pattaya flower seller boosts sales in Santa suit
impulse replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Wow. You really have to go over the river and through the woods (and up around the bend, to mix a couple of musical metaphors) to take religious offense at a guy wearing a Santa outfit to increase his business. I'd rate that about as offensive as a Thai cutie wearing lederhosen to sell beer...
