  1. I wonder how many Houthis have crossed the southern border? And how many are on the way...
  2. He does care, but he knows there will be an appeal and in the worst case, the plaintiff will negotiate down to a reasonable number rather than risk getting the big goose egg. Just out of curiosity, if she can't even recall what year it happened, are you sure she remembers who did it? It may have been a Cuomo or even Biden...
  3. I wonder how they did compared to their competition in those countries? German and UK economies aren't so hot right now. Also, in the USA, the ICE fans have been forecasting market saturation, where everyone who wants an EV has already bought one. I don't know that I agree with them, or that milestone has been reached, but it could explain why so many EVs are sitting in dealer lots in the USA for a loooong time.
  4. I challenge any Biden fans on here to write up a transcript for his recent Milwaukee speech.
  5. When in the USA, I occasionally buy stuff on Amazon and EBay that ships from China via ePacket. The total cost of the goodies (including shipping) is often less than the cost of just shipping the same goodies from Houston to Dallas by regular post. Thailand is signed onto the same postal treaty but I have never tried it from Thailand. Does anyone have any experience (or wife or kids) using ePacket from Thailand in ecommerce? No guesses. Only folks with experience need reply. And I have looked through the Thai Post ePacket website. But I don't consider that to be reliable, comprehensive info. I have some Thai friends that I'd like to help set up some e-commerce to supplement their income with some Thai products that sell for a lot more in the USA than in local markets. But profitability would depend on cheap shipping in small quantities. And no, it's not weed or kratom.
  6. hahaha...i hope that was a joke..the decrepit tit fell off in full view of everyone last i saw..... I wonder if he rides a bike like Buttigieg does? Anyone who doesn't get the reference doesn't follow right wing media...
  7. As I read it, sales didn't drop. They only went up 38% year on year instead of the predicted 50%. Musk's problem there is that the stock price and capital investment plans have the growth baked in. Then it didn't meet expectations. Still, GM, Ford and other legacy automaker CEOs would kill their Moms for 38% YoY growth.
  8. The beautiful thing is that the immigration crisis is actually pushing more Hispanics and Blacks away from the Dem party. Support for Trump in those demographics is growing in leaps and bounds.
  9. Those are generally the ones with functional parents. Mad as I used to get at him, my Dad was my role model. Kids (especially boys) with just a Mom, I don't envy.
  10. They lost me when they banned walking on the beach (middle of winter) but let the liquor stores stay open. Then even more so when the left side of my face went numb the day after my 2nd Pfizer. But for 6 months, the doctors insisted it wasn't the shot. A year later, they conceded it was probably the shot.
  11. The saving grace for them is that they already left the USA, so they won't have to pack.
  12. It is going to be so fun when he wins.
  13. Once again, Iran and their proxies putting those Biden bucks to good use...
  14. Did you hear that? That was the sound of Trump support going up yet again. Because the American voters recognize this for what it is. Except, of course, those with TDS.
  15. To get a full appreciation of the OP, you'd need to look up Brendan Kavanagh on YouTube. He ranges from entertaining to very obnoxious. His entire reason for being there is for his YouTube (or other) channel. Playing the idiot on a public piano until he gets an audience, then showing off. Sometimes, he pulls it off, sometimes he's just embarrassing. Some of the other guys that hang out and play piano around him are extremely entertaining and not obnoxious at all. It's pretty uplifting to watch 2 or 3 guys banging on a piano at the same time and getting it absolutely right. Well worth looking for on YouTube.
  16. I wonder if the discussion starts with after the death, or does it include tips for expediting it?
  17. That's why even the Repubs are hoping the impeachment goes nowhere. Biden could be filmed walking across the White House lawn with a decapitated head in one hand and a bloody machete in the other, and they still wouldn't want to replace him with Kamala.
  18. I'll answer that one after 45+ years in the oilfield. We always had a huge inventory of leases that weren't going to get drilled until the price of oil went up enough to justify the investment. Maybe never. It costs very little to maintain an idle lease. And leases get bought and sold and traded just like any commodity. I have a nephew whose company does that. Never produced a drop of oil, just buying and selling leases. And he's loaded... So having a bunch of leases doesn't mean you have a bunch of viable drilling locations.
  19. Do you think that's been the Elites' plan all along? I'm genuinely curious, because I can't follow Euro politics. Too convoluted for me. Makes no sense to my tiny little pinhead.
  20. It was a link to Cracked. I figured the joke would be obvious. Focus on the joke and forgot this one? Trump was right: 'Russian collusion' was a hoax. Good luck regaining public's trust. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2023/05/17/durham-report-vindicates-trump-fbi-russia-investigation/70222344007/ Before the 2020 election, you could scour the interweb all you want and the only place you'd have found this truth is on right wing sites that apparently are not acceptable links here. The same holds true of the laptop story. The MSM was all over the Russian collusion story and "debunking" of the laptop. We're already seeing, and will see more of the same phenomena in the leadup to the 2024 election. Lefties on here have no idea how much easier it is to find links to support even their most wingnut stuff, with 10x as many journalists claiming to be Dems as Repubs. Stuff like "the border is secure". And "Repubs are the ones who are letting millions cross the southern border". And "Biden is fit as a fiddle"
  21. I must be a bad man. Because every time I read about Germany's economic woes brought on by high energy prices, I remember how they dissed the Bad Orange Man for suggesting they didn't want to depend too much on Russia for their gas. And I just can't help but smile. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-scolded-germany-for-buying-gas-from-russia-heres-what-we-know Back on topic, anyone know the amount and balance of trade between Thailand and Germany?
  22. He sure didn't talk them out of attacking. Like the Bad Orange Man did. Sometimes it's good that your adversaries think your guy is hard to predict. Maybe even a little crazy... Like a fox.
  23. So don't look at Trump. Look at 4 years when Russians and Ukrainians weren't killing the heck out of each other, neither were the Israelis and Palestinians. Illegal immigration was a net negative the last year, after he got it under control. Then look at the world situation today...
  24. Stop your lying. Toughest job in DC right now is the one in charge of closed captioning Biden's speeches.
  25. Come back when you find out how many "undeclared" voters are really closet Dems, who would have voted for Biden had the DNC not given them the finger. And how many are closet Repubs that just don't want their liberal neighbors to know. And how many are truly independents.
