I don't blame him, the way the Dem elite shafted him in favor of HRC. But he'll always be associated with the Dems.

Does he have an autopen? Because you're going to be reading a lot about Biden's soon.

Biden and Harris revealed their medical report. Not Trump Jeez Louise. I trust my lying eyes before I'd trust a medical report from a politician. Or a report from a lefty news source.

I've read dozens of posts on AN over the years from Brits bragging on how smart they are, scamming their benefits by not letting the gub'ment know they're in Thailand. They're claiming it's not a scam. But then I read this (posted earlier) But there there are several instances where it is classified as fraud if you have benefits paid to you while abroad, which can include. Not telling office that pays your benefit you’re going abroad, even if it’s just for a visit

Assuming he wasn't in on it for a cut.

I rather enjoy Sky News from Australia. From the UK? Not so much.

So you don't figure he may have stroked out or had a heart attack, leading to the crash? That's why they do autopsies. I'm open to the possibility he may have been otherwise impaired, but I suspect his family would want an investigation.

No mention of the frequency?

Translation: They'll only eat you if they're hungry.

It's a good thing Pelosi took him out of the race.

From Ontario Premier Ford: “I want to apologize to the American people. I spent 20 years of my life in the US, in New Jersey, in Chicago. I love the American people,” Ford expressed during a radio show appearance. He further praised Secretary Lutnick and President Trump, acknowledging their business acumen and emphasizing the need to move forward in strengthening U.S.-Canada relations. We need to put this behind us and move forward and build the two strongest countries in the world.” Canada's Premier Apologizes to U.S. Following Threat to Raise Energy Prices - Crystal Clear News From other sources: Trump initially gained concessions from Canada in February, forcing them to aid in curtailing the illegal fentanyl trade in exchange for a pause on a 25% general goods tariff enacted Feb. 1. However, Trump eventually let the pause expire, with the tariff resuming in March. Once Ford backed down on his plan to implement the export fees, Trump reversed his planned hike to 50% on steel and aluminum tariffs. Ford is expected to meet with Lutnick Thursday in Washington, D.C. If a deal is not reached by the April 2 deadline, the tariffs will resume. (And if you don't like those sources, just Google it.)

I wonder how many sphincters here on AN tightened up reading this from the Mirror: The UK Government website says a British citizen may still be able to claim some benefits even if they travel or move abroad, or even if they already live abroad. But there there are several instances where it is classified as fraud if you have benefits paid to you while abroad, which can include. Not telling office that pays your benefit you’re going abroad, even if it’s just for a visit Deliberately not reporting a change in your circumstances while abroad, like buying a property, working, or claiming a pension or benefit from another country Being dishonest in order to get benefits, like continuing to claim the pension or benefit of someone who has died overseas Brit mum notorious for TikToks on claiming benefits living abroad 'locked up in Thailand' - World News - Mirror Online

Reminds me of some beatdowns I witnessed on the Atlantic City boardwalk back in the '70s when someone tried on a dine and dash. The vendors all looked after each other. That was before cell phones, when they'd gather a posse and go looking for them. They were looking for payback, not a "fair fight". That would just be stoopid. Anyone witnessing it would think 3 times before doing the dine and dash anywhere on the boardwalk.

Once again, that's a detail that's probably lost on people considering Thailand as their tourism destination. And once again, I have no objection to restraining them. But those optics aren't great. They could have easily cropped that photo or done the normal finger pointing at the table photo. As it is, it looks rather 3rd world.

My GF from high school was a horse person. He raised them, rode them, and ended up creating a shelter for retired race horses. She often came home and regaled me with stories about getting to "violate" horses like that, just as a matter of normal health care. (She was also pre-vet so she did some apprentice work). I never felt the urge, but I can understand why a curious soul would wonder what that's like, having seen it done repeatedly. And it's not as if the critters feel violated. For them, it's just like a normal visit from the vet. I was offered a very long rubber glove once on a visit to the barn, but I politely declined. There was certainly no stigma attached.

Those are the clearly demarked areas.

Confirming yet again my contention that the wee hours are best for sleeping. Especially in tourist traps.

Holey moley. We left a guy up there? I hope they left him enough Tang. TBH, that could have been taken in a zillion studios anywhere in the world. Not that I believe that it was, but it's hardly convincing proof. I don't know why they'd have a problem with a credible hi-res photo from Hubble or one of the others. I've seen a few, but they're not very convincing either. And they could be taking photos of tracks left by unmanned vehicles.

Yeah. It's those silly brown people. Don't they know they need to buy a car so their kids can eat on the road and then they'll quit crying? Like we do back home...

Why wouldn't he let up if he's getting all the concessions he wants from The Great White North?

Can anyone clue me in on why the UK police would suddenly show interest in a crime that happened 11 years ago in Thailand? Not that they shouldn't have been interested all along. But why now? Also, did Tinsley spend prison time in Thailand or the UK (or both)?

A distinction that's probably lost on the folks back home contemplating spending their sweaty tourist money in Thailand. Or not... Perceptions count. Do what you will. Just crop the photos.

What? Funding that allowed Ukrainians to keep fighting and dying, but didn't come close to allowing them to actually win? That would take foreign boots on the ground and risk WW3 and Armageddon. The sooner the money dries up, the sooner the killing will stop. On both sides. Then they can start spending that money on rebuilding.

Gotta give you an A for effort, explaining why it's Trump's fault that Putin took Crimea during Obama's term and Donbass during Biden's term. Steely Dan had an album whose title described it. Pretzel Logic.

That makes it harder to eat on the back of a moving scooter, though. At least without getting grease all over everything.
