Trump rushed off stage after possible assassination attempt

Trump picks J.D. Vance as running mate for VP at Republican convention
impulse replied to webfact's topic in World News
There's a lot of liars out there that better hope Trump wins. Because if he loses, he'll have plenty of spare time and energy to sue them all. In a Red state, like Florida. Could double his net worth, easily. -
Trump picks J.D. Vance as running mate for VP at Republican convention

Did the composite value of the Dow go up more or less than the national debt did yesterday? This year? (I'd ask about the whole Biden term, but most of the gains were recovering from Covid, along with all the Covid BidenBucks that were used to buy back stock instead of keeping the peons employed like they were meant to. -
Britain Must Confront Global Threats: New Defence Review Lead Warns
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Not meaning this to be a pointed question (from a smartass Yank, no less). What is it that makes it unattractive? Low pay? Lack of respect? Bad living conditions? Poor advancement prospects? Bad family situation? I'm asking, not suggesting. I'd like to understand, since they seem bound and determined to take us into WW3. Hopefully on the same side if they do... (That was a dig, but pointed at the US as well as the Euros) -
Trump picks J.D. Vance as running mate for VP at Republican convention
impulse replied to webfact's topic in World News
When I'm on my monthly visits to Thailand, I love watching the YouTube montages of 10 or 20 MSM hacks all repeating the same Dem talking points, on the same day, using the exact same words. In the past, I used to wonder whether they all received their orders from Dem Central. That question was laid to rest when Musk bought Twitter and the Twitter files came out. They do... -

Give it up. You can't undo 9 years of Lefty MSM indoctrination. No matter how disingenuous it was, they're still going to believe it. -

You could always go to their referenced New York Times article to prove them wrong. I can't, because NYT is blocked here. Or did you just look at the link, post a snide comment, and not bother to click and read it?

Nope he didn't. It was all over the news. Fmr Volunteer Firefighter Chief’s Widow Confirms Call With Trump After Snubbing Biden The widow of slain former volunteer fire chief, Corey Comperatore, confirmed she had a call with former President Donald Trump after rejecting President Joe Biden’s call, according to The New York Times. https://dailycaller.com/2024/07/16/corey-comperatore-widow-confirms-trump-call-snubbing-biden/

That was the job of that short Secret Service chick in the scrum. -
How many hours from Phuket to Bangkok by train?
impulse replied to Conan The Barbarian's topic in General Topics
My dodgiest train experience was on the weekend tourist train to (and beyond) Kanchanaburi. A few miles away from civilization, the wheels started spinning on the wet tracks. So they let us out to walk the last bit. More funny than any kind of scary. -
I hope the OP posts back if he finds something that works and maybe even identifies the cause of his problem.

Aftermath of the Trump Assassination Attempt Staring into the Abyss
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I got off message there... My point was that I don't count avoiding the draft against either Trump or Biden. And given the USA's history of discretionary wars in the last century, I'm more afraid of electing a warmonger than a draft dodger. He/she will be surrounded by military experts in DC. And like FDR proved, he/she doesn't need to be the strategist. Just the best team builder. As for Kerry, I liked him until he started flying around the world telling the little people we need to reduce carbon and eat bugs. (I'm paraphrasing). -
How many hours from Phuket to Bangkok by train?
impulse replied to Conan The Barbarian's topic in General Topics
Me too. Never again. Still, I have to admit... I'm glad I did it once, so my reluctance is based on experience and not some blog. Looking back over photos and videos from that trip, I forgot that I went from the border to Songkhla and stayed a few days there. I love Songkhla town and Samila Beach (shameless plug...). Then I went back to Hat Yai and hopped the train to BKK. If I ever do it again, it'll be on a daytime train, or at least one that has some good scenery in the light of day. If that's an available option. -
Aftermath of the Trump Assassination Attempt Staring into the Abyss
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I don't know about commenting, but I'd love to see a video or photo. More than a witness statement. I've been looking and I haven't seen one. That's kinda suspicious given today's ubiquitous cell phones, especially seeing the many videos of Crooks on the roof. You'd think someone would have pulled out the handy and snapped a photo of other shooters. -

He just helped raise $4.5 million (and counting) for the families. The cad! -

Did he go to serve his country, or to bulk up his political resume? -

While I have nothing but respect for the guys who did go to Vietnam, I don't think less of the guys who saw the war for what it was, and refused. By whatever means was available to them. Even bone spurs, and student deferments. -
Double Homicide Shocks Pattaya: Restaurant Owners Found Dead
impulse replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Gotta say, Phan looks just as good a suspect as the Burmese guy. If I was Burmese and happened upon my bosses' dead bodies, I'd be looking for the nearest border, too. Guilty or innocent. That's evidence of being scared, not necessarily being guilty. Of course, I don't claim to know what actually happened. Nor do I think we'll ever know, really. Usually, the story drops out of the news cycle. And even if it doesn't, the official proclamations are often not credible. -

Yeah. Like a Men's room in a Blue city. -
Sorry, but I'm not going to trust the "investigators". But here's a neighbor kid who claims the shooter was passionate about politics, hated all politicians, and called him stupid for supporting Trump. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6358216782112 Sounds like a sad, angry, and confused kid, with no real anchor in any particular ideology yet. He could have fit right in at just about any protest.

But then you'd have to create a category for asthmatics who have to take disqualifying prescriptions because it gives them a respiratory advantage. That locked me out of competing in cross country when I was a kid. Strangely, I didn't see it as unfair, or even think about suing. Where does it end? Organized tournaments with one competitor in each sport and category? Where everyone takes home a ribbon... But no sponsorship $$$ or scholarships.
