Saudi has Biden by the short and curlies through November. (Or at least through the DNC Convention, then it may be someone else's pubes being pulled) Even draining the SPR may not be enough to keep gas prices low enough through the summer driving season. He can't afford any supply disruptions and spiking prices if he wants to win.

Deadly dish: Mushroom curry poisoning in Yasothon kills one
impulse replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
That's scary. I always counted on local knowledge to keep toxic mushrooms off the menu. My grandfather from the old country always hunted mushrooms when I was a kid. Mom wouldn't let us eat them. -
Indian tourist's holiday horror: Robbed, assaulted in Pattaya

60% is a huge number. Timing correlates to legalizing weed. I wonder what it'll do when they re-criminalize weed. Could be bad news for TAT. -
So they had zero data on how it affects early child development. All they claim is that they don't think it affects miscarriages. And they still recommend the mRNA for pregnant women, in spite of a 1 in 1800 chance of dying if anyone in the 0-39 age group got Covid. Did they learn nothing from Thalidomide? Here's my link... My post of June 8 with the data. https://aseannow.com/topic/1329225-us-fda-panel-supports-switch-to-jn1-for-fall-covid-vaccines/#

Biden to Grant Legal Status to Undocumented Spouses of US Citizens
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
A little correction here. The Bad Orange Man referred to the murderer of Laken Riley as an animal. -
Do we then get to ask reimbursement from them for buying Eastern Colorado from France (Louisiana Purchase), or taking stealing the rest from Spain (or Mexico), at great cost of US lives and treasure? It's not as if they'd be living their idyllic (false) memory of peace and harmony and kumbaya had there never been a US gub'ment. They'd be living in colonies of France, Spain or Jolly England. Ask the Vietnamese how they liked that, or any of the Sub-Saharan colonies. Or look at the economic conditions they'd be living under had they stayed with Mexico. Millions of people from around the world are risking their lives on perilous journeys and paying cartels thousands of USD to sneak into to America and live the life the indigenous people have as a constitutional birthright. They can go anywhere in the USA they want, work anywhere legally, get a state funded education...and on. And on. The sky's the limit.

Biden to Grant Legal Status to Undocumented Spouses of US Citizens
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I think that could be one of the unintended consequences of a poorly thought out election year gambit. If they've been in the USA for 10 years, contributed (and not been a burden), and kept their noses clean, why even require that they be married? -
I wonder if this could somehow be related to the civil war going on across the border in Myanmar. How'za bout a little compassion for people who are getting shot at? I used to spend weekends at a temple near 3 Pagodas and was amazed at how easy it was to walk across the border along that highway. And how hard it was to tell who was Burmese and who was Thai. Of course, I stuck out like a sore thumb...

Serious Relationships With Thai Women, What To Expect?
impulse replied to Alpha84's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I can't help but recall that line from a movie: Show me a gorgeous woman and I'll show you a guy who's tired of screwing her. (I'm paraphrasing) Does that make me a bad person? -

I think the salient condition is the 10 years. I don't know why he'd discriminate against single people like that. -

No sweat. I enjoy back and forth with you because you argue facts and don't just attack the person. -

Put on your cheaters and read it again. I said he'd stall the ACTION until after November. Not the ELECTION. -
Biden to Grant Legal Status to Undocumented Spouses of US Citizens
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Nonsense? Biden's gonna announce an amnesty and a timetable (because surely they can't adjudicate half a million cases before November.) Then, he'll create fear that it won't happen unless he wins. Not nonsense. Guaranteed. Anyone who believes otherwise is smoking fairy dust. No way they can adjudicate 500K before the election. -
Biden to Grant Legal Status to Undocumented Spouses of US Citizens
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Ahhh they have to be citizens first……. So you don't figure the Americans they're married to, or their (now adult) anchor babies may be swayed to vote for Joe? The amnestied may not make it in time for the November election, but there's well over a million votes there. Even more if he can stall the action until after November and convince them that Trump would foil his magnanimous gesture if elected. Blatant, desperate pandering for votes. I'd call it a cheap trick, but somehow everything the Dems do around election time ends up costing $$Billions in the end. -
Biden to Grant Legal Status to Undocumented Spouses of US Citizens
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
If they've been in the USA for 10 years (married or not), haven't been a financial burden (paid taxes, not on welfare, etc), and don't have a significant criminal record, I'd favor an amnesty for them. Just not at the whim of a president and not in the leadup to an election. First, Congress should be granting the amnesty (and tested by the Supreme Court). Second, if he did have the power, why didn't he do it 3-1/2 years ago? Why wait until he's getting excoriated in the polls? -
Malaysian Polygamists Getting Married in Thailand

You can have 72. But you're probably not going to like the entry fee. -
That's true. And a despicable part of US history. But what's the difference between violating treaties and downright genocide? If the US gub'ment pays reparations to the Sioux for violating treaties, doesn't that open the door for the Apache to seek reparations from the Sioux for first stealing the land from them? (By way of murderous ethnic cleansing, which I contend is worse than violating agreements) Where does it end? How far back do you want to go? And why should my family of immigrant Belarussian turnip farmers pay taxes for reparations for stuff that happened 50 years before we came to the Promised Land? I would add, with nothing and not able to speak English. Yet 2 generations later, most of the fam are in the millionaire class. Not mega rich, but doing quite well. Precisely because my ancestors didn't play the victim card. My grandparents insisted that my parents spoke English, and got educated to thrive in the country (and the world) as it existed. Not as they remembered it so fondly from back home on the turnip patch. I guess we were lucky that they didn't have the option of suing Stalin for reparations. And we had no race baiters to convince us that's what we needed to do.

Biden and Trump Agree to CNN Debate Rules, Including Mic Muting
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I'm still betting on a Michelle/ Gavin ticket. Because they can't win with Kamala, and they need a box ticker to throw her under the bus. Or the Dem Elite will wet themselves with anger. Then, Michelle can step aside after a few months and Gavin gets his creamy dream. Bonus: He can actually serve for 2-1/2 terms if he ascends from VP. If he's on top of the ticket, he's limited to 2.0 terms. Edit: In the meantime they need to keep both of them out of the early election cycle fray when even Dems have to bash each other in the primaries. They'll enter with a just a few months to election day, clean and smelling as good as a baby's behind. -
It is unbelievable that this can be seen as a controversial statement. I think you're supposed to call it a "front hole", or you'll be cancelled. Or at least shadowbanned. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/06/fact-check-canadian-cancer-society-did-not-apologize-for-using-cervix-instead-of-front-hole.html BTW, no surprises that Trudeau is front and almost center in the photo. As if "front hole" makes it clear which body part you're talking about. Or which gender. We all have them. Some have more than one, which is why hoohoos are now called "bonus holes", I guess. And there's some confusion about which is the "front hole", too. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bonus-hole-health-professionals/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/vagina-called-front-hole/

Biden and Trump Agree to CNN Debate Rules, Including Mic Muting
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The way I describe it is to put down their plows and their books, serve for a limited time, then go back home and make a living in the country they created. That's what the framers intended. Not to latch onto the gub'ment tit and hold on for life. The only downside would be having unelected bureaucrats that stay for decades longer than elected officials. Giving them even more power, with absolutely no checks and balances. Civil Service and all. Edit: But that's a simple problem to solve with term limits for unelected officials. Not easy, but simple. -

I wonder if there was a guy with a stopwatch and clipboard at U-Tapoa for the "event" with the A319 VIP jet a few days ago. You know, to figure out the exact timing...
