Not my burden. If they're going to write an article connecting the Georgia law with her death, that burden is on them. Nowhere did they show evidence that the hospital delayed her treatment because of that law.

Remind me who was in the White House when the Russian wars started. And who was in there when no Russian wars started.

Do you have that nightmare, too? How often?

If judging on the net benefit and not the hours worked, he may be their most productive gub'ment employee.

Oooh. Oooh. I'll answer that one. After you've had your crotch grabbed and gotten dry humped outside half a dozen lady (and ladyboy) bars, it's not hard to believe that anything goes.

It's not on my bucket list, but kudos to them for knocking one off their list, by knocking one off. I wonder if the tuk-tuk overcharged them?

I wonder if she mentions the Body Count... And I don't mean Taylor Swift's. I maintain my delusion that Ms Swift holding out for a ring. Elon posted something inappropriate. He deleted it. Big whoop.

In the USA, I live in my house and in my cars. That's the way suburbia works. In Thailand, I live out in the community. Even if I don't speak the language, I wave and say hello to 10x as many people each day in Bangkok as in the USA. Which is one reason that my real estate needs wants in Thailand are so much cheaper than in the USA. One more reason to retire in LOS.

But when? Recent protests all over the western world would indicate support for "the scum" is growing. Even if they are as wrong as can be, they're growing in numbers. My guess is that the pager incident will radicalize thousands more. Not just in the Middle East. In London, Paris, and California...

That's enough to hold him while they investigate the juicier charges, with words like intent and conspiracy. I understand he was also driving a car that wasn't his (stolen, or loaned to him?), with plates swapped from another vehicle. With him being from North Carolina and Hawaii, it will be interesting to see how he got an SKS in Florida with his felony record. He either stole it, owned it before his felony conviction(s), or there's going to be more people in the soup...

Common sense would tell me that a lot of those pagers exploded in public areas, perhaps even on airplanes, buses, etc. Giving yet more innocent people a reason to become hate filled extremists. I'm still trying to figure out the math. How do you eliminate terrorism if you create more than you kill? Unless, of course, by ethnic cleansing. I'm 100% in favor of Israel eliminating Hezbollah and Hamas fighters. But not in favor of radicalizing more than they eliminate.

The specter of Armageddon makes me wax nostalgic for those mean tweets.

Strangely, they didn't draw a correlation between those 2. Nowhere do they claim that the reason for the delay was that Georgia law. It's just as likely the delay was due to normal problems like insurance approvals, lack of staff, specialist consultations, or any number of reasons people sit in ER waiting rooms for hours. And wait weeks to get appointments. Especially since Obamacare. (there, I said it...)

I'm just as interested with the location pings of the people he spoke to over the past week or so... Maybe he was a lone nut case. Or maybe not so alone. Lotsa questions about how he got to Florida, how he bought an SKS, etc. He's claiming indigence in court.

You're sure responding to a lot that I didn't say. That's a bald faced lie. Edit: Unless you're on the gub'ment dole. I was on Obamacare for 2 years running (before Medicare kicked in). My premiums went up 15% year over year. And that was before the Harris/Biden's inflation spike. Full disclosure: I wasn't on the gub'ment dole. It may be great for those who are. I don't personally know anyone who's happy with Obamacare. At least none that say they are.

It's all fun and games until you or a loved one is sitting next to one of them in a Starbucks or an Airbus.

Yup I experienced Obamacare. Cost me $1,400 a month with a $5,000 deductible, and I had to wait months to get an appointment. I didn't care for it at all. I quit reading when the coffee splashed into my eye from spitting in it when I read that Obamacare was an accomplishment.

There's some discussion going on whether "they" took advantage of a flaw in existing pagers to overheat the batteries (think Stuxnet), or they somehow got Hezbollah to standardize on pagers that they have rigged with explosives for all their operatives. It'll probably be awhile before we know. It won't go unanswered.

According to James Carville, there is an alternative to Thailand. Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on a podcast that white men who “can’t get laid” and have more access to guns are responsible for the assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump. https://dailycaller.com/2024/09/17/james-carville-white-men-responsible-donald-trump-assassination-attempts/

Speaking of benefits, I like the roads, the fact that I've never been mugged, that the poop goes away when I flush, that the elevators are pretty safe, visiting Lumpini and Queen Sirikit parks, that there's people who learned how to fix the trains, and... and... None of that happens without tax money. And more tax money than the piddly VAT.

I don't think people realize yet what a big deal this is...

Of course it's a cash grab. Simply a tax increase. But an $8.50 increase won't collapse tourist spending, nor will it gum up the works trying to collect it. They can add it to the cost of a plane ticket and 99% of tourists won't even notice. Besides, most of the folks on here complaining about it fly in maybe once or twice a year, because they live in Thailand. Is it worth getting worked up about less than $20 a year? I'm probably in the worst case scenario, flying in once a month. And it will add a whopping $103 to my annual cost of living. Color me unconcerned. Last night, I bought next month's R/T airplane tickets and the price is $112 lower than this month's. That $8.50 would get lost in that kind noise. Edit: BTW, so looking forward to arriving tomorrow evening. I need a sanity break, and really miss street fried chicken.

That's the most likely explanation I've heard. I suspect it's not so much a matter of high franchise fees as PTT has gleaned all the knowledge they need, so it's time to throw their partner under the bus. That's a familiar pattern.

I'm looking forward the hearing from the guys who are out buying (or hacking, I don't judge) his cell phone data to see who he talked to, and when. And to see if any of them were sitting in the bushes in other places Trump may have been on the day. Fortunately, his name was released before anyone had an opportunity to wipe his social media, too.
