Why Trump Should Support a Pardon for Hunter Biden
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Joe should be the one pardoning Hunter, just so Americans can be confident that he isn't sitting across the negotiating table with world leaders, many of them adversarial to US interests, who are sitting on evidence that could put his kid away for life. He should have done it in January, 2021. Maybe Putin wouldn't be in Donbass, and Hamas wouldn't have attacked, had Biden not been in a compromised condition. Of course, we'll never know... Once Biden's out of office, Trump has no national security reason to issue a pardon. -
You're missing the part about "The consensus among experts seems to be..." Misinformation and lies are being called out by "experts". But what if the "experts" are the ones lying? You know, the paid political hacks telling us Biden is fit as a fiddle, the 51 lying intelligence experts, and the paid "safe and effective" shills.

Have they updated their payment methods? When I worked across the street in Exchange Tower, we'd head over occasionally. First, we had to queue up to swap cash for a one-day payment card, use the card to buy the food, then queue up again to refund the excess funds on the card. I'd have preferred a stored value card that was good for more than just the same day. Queuing twice in itself cut in on an hour long lunch break. And as others have stated, finding a table to sit was a PITA during the lunch rush. Most groups had someone nail down a table while one of them was getting the food. Best time to go was outside of the lunch crush. That said, a huge variety of some pretty good food at a good price. Some of the choices weren't appealing, but there was plenty of variety, and a lot of the dishes were great.

Thai AirAsia Flight Disrupted by Technical Fault
impulse replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
To be real pedantic, the aircraft failed to start. Does that mean the engine didn't start, or that the engine threw off error codes so they didn't start the flight? Hard to tell, since they flew the plane to Bangkok for repairs... That's always a challenge when reading articles written in the Thenglish, with no technical detail. -

Trump's Legal Battles and Their Unintended Legacy of Backfiring
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Failed? If you read their reports, they have enough evidence to put Biden away for decades. They just can't indict a sitting president without first impeaching him, which is a political process. It would never happen with a Dem majority in the Senate. Once Joe becomes a private citizen, they can go after him with no holds barred. -
Understood. Tough to unsee that. Honest question... Anyone... Can she sing? My generation had Mama Cass Elliot, who had similar weight issues (corrected for weight inflation- I don't think she went over 300# but nobody did back then), but she had a hell of a voice. Still some of the catchiest tunes. Her "Dream a Little Dream" is on my favorites list, 50+ years later.

‘Wife for hire’: Inside Thailand’s shocking rental marriage trend
impulse replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Where do you get your condescending clueless attitude? There's nothing desperate or questionable in any way about being practical and filling a need quickly and expeditiously with no baggage and no real commitments beyond what is required. Would a woman who could be making a decent wage at an office job be doing it, in preference? -
In her heyday, Twiggy weighed 41 kg. I'd have tapped that. Lizzo at 153kg? Nope. Not even with your winkie. Edit: BTW, if you don't want to see videos of yourself doing stupid stuff in public, don't do stupid stuff in public. If he did do upskirts (doubtful) or filmed them in private spaces, keep him in jail.

Speaking of wild exaggerations, which one sounds like a reasonable plan, and which one sounds like a lefty fantasy?: 1) Secede from the USA and join Canada 2) Sell your stuff, take the proceeds and go across the border and buy some real estate in Canada. Don't bother going back until 2036 when Trump and Vance are no longer in office... ('Muricans can actually buy Canadian real estate on EBay).

Phuket Authorities Crack Down on Unlicensed Jet Skis
impulse replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
In a significant move towards enhancing maritime safety, police in Phuket confiscated six unlicensed jet skis during an impactful raid at Cape Yamu, Pa Khlok, Thalang. Did I miss something? -
No one should EVER receive a pardon except obviously innocent. Everyone, including the ruling elite, should be subject to the laws of the nation. In an ideal world, I'd agree with you. I'd also hope that voters wouldn't have elected such a vulnerable candidate had they known the laptop was real. Once he was inaugurated, national security should have taken precedence, and he should have eliminated all the potential conflicts by pardoning Hunter. That way, there would have been no risk he'd be compromised in any negotiation.

Biden should have pardoned Hunter on day one of his term, just to reduce the appearance of sitting across the negotiating table from adversarial world leaders that may have had evidence that could put his kid away for a loooong time. It would have hurt him at the polls in 2024, but it would have been the right thing to do for national security. And 2024 took care of itself anyway. BTW, I say that, not as a fan of Hunter or his antics. But national security (and world peace) are bigger than one addict's penance.
