Except on that 14 hour flight across the pond. Which is why I download a wad of videos and audio. Oh, and places like where I am right now... YouTube's blocked. One more reason... And hard drives are cheap.

Maybe there's more people skint after spending time in Phuket?

They have the recordings. There are transcripts of the actual recordings.

I gave you a like because it's true. And because I don't use the sad emoji, though it's also very sad. For Americans, and for the world.

Personally, I think they should just make him sign a promissory note for the fine and an airline ticket and stick him on the next flight home. Just to be humane. But I also think they should have one fine if you accept a ban from the country, but offer a higher fine that would waive the ban. Win-win. But that's not going to happen, either. Edit: I'd amend my statement above to "allow him to fly to a country where he's welcomed under an asylum program if that's his choice". Because of his nationality, under current conditions.

He read from classified documents in 2017 to his ghostwriter (bad on several levels), and failed to turn in those documents until 2022 when the heat was on. Read the report. It's pretty damning.

An airline employee hopping on an empty seat on an airplane going there anyway? May not even be a marketable seat...

According to the article, it's 3 just in Pattaya in a week. I wonder if there's someone advertising online that they will push someone off a balcony for a few baht? Seems like a win-win for a hitman and an angry wife, perhaps with an insurance policy.

Because if they did that, every overstayer would claim poverty when they show up at the airport.

I'm just claiming that Putin disagreeing with someone's understanding of the history may not mean he's lying. Especially if that understanding of history is from the same folks that gave us Tonkin and WMD and Russian collusion and the debunked laptop.

Yeah, my bad. I shouldn't have used the shorthand "Craig", which may have insinuated that it was him personally.

The problem, of course, is that she could easily bankrupt most people before the case ever came to trial. All she'd have to do is shop for a friendly venue, file the lawsuit there, and start up the paper mill. For her, it would be pocket change. For an average American, it would bankrupt them. So I'm glad he's got backing from Craig.

80 years after the last shot was fired, historians are still rewriting WW2 history as more is exposed from the vaults. That's the way it will be for Ukraine/Russia. Like it has been for the Gulf of Tonkin and Iraqi WMD, which were also "settled history". Until they weren't.

So, how do you explain the record credit card and household debt, along with the horrendous increase in delinquent payments? If the "economy" is doing so well, shouldn't we be able to pay down that debt? https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2024/02/07/us-credit-card-debt-hits-trillion/72505645007/

Worse than that. He read acknowledged classified documents to his ghostwriter in 2017 and didn't surrender those documents until forced to, in 2022. So much for the claim he "cooperated", so it's different from the bad orange man.

Those are a given. What I wanna know is, how's the kayaking and bicycling and hiking? Without those, I'd probably weigh 300 lb.

Though I get what the OP is saying, it seems to me there's a middle ground between Phuket and Back Home in the freezing cold. Like 100 other places in Thailand.

Any truth to the Russkie rumor that the NY Times reported it was a Patriot missile that brought it down? Because I don't think the Russkies have Patriots... I'm blocked from the NYT and from MSN, which seems to parrot the story... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/patriot-missile-allegedly-shoots-down-russian-il-76-carrying-ukrainian-prisoners/ar-BB1hZwRz It's all over Russkie media, of course. But I won't post any links...

Post back if you find a freebee version. In the meantime, if you just want the Audio (downloadable to listen later, unlike the video): https://tuckercarlson.com/listen/ Click "SHARE" then click the download icon. Edit: I'd add that an advantage of audio is that you don't have to look at Carlson's ugly mug.

That's 'cause they believe that if anyone disagrees with them, it's because they're either too stupid to be trusted with the vote, or morally challenged and they need to be re-educated. In a camp, possibly.

VP can classify documents. But he can't declassify documents. Especially documents classified by others.

So, typical elitist lawfare. I'm glad the guy has a free speech backer with deep pockets.

It's gonna get worse. Polls indicate that a redline for a lot of voters is whether Trump is actually convicted. This case is going to remove that redline as voters see how Trump is being treated so differently. Even a conviction in his classified document case won't cost him the votes it would have. He'll be convicted, of course, because it's Trump. But it won't cost him the votes, and the appeals will take it well beyond Election Day. Add that to the characterization of Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory and this has been a bad day for Team Joe.

So maybe she should sue her concert promoters who publicize where she'll be, months in advance. Or the Swifties wearing those T-shirts that have her concert schedule silk screened onto them. Privacy, indeed. The guy is just collating and reposting publicly available information. He's neither the source of the information, nor a stalker acting on that information. That sounds suspiciously like free speech.

They needed to be careful what they wished for. Isn't that the basis of prosecuting Trump in Georgia? Not hard to imagine a DA or AG in a Red jurisdiction empaneling a Grand Jury to prosecute anyone who "interferes" like that... Tit for Tat. Or, What goes around, comes around.
