I doubt that it'll be made in Thailand soon (if ever), but here's some eye candy from a company backed by Xiaomi, for $32,000 USD in China. 0-100 km/hr in less than 3 seconds. It's called the JMEV-01, but you can also Google SC-01. Released for public sale April 15. https://carnewschina.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/jmev_01_launch-800x450.jpg https://img-s.msn.cn/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1DIguk.img?w=768&h=1826&m=6

Is Trump the most corrupt US president in history? No. That dubious distinction probably goes to Joe Biden. At least in my lifetime. But thanks for asking. Edit: Though it's a close race with LBJ.

I honestly believe that more and more are trying on despicable behavior so they have something to post, for the clicks. Just look at some of the stupid "challenges" where they do something stupid for the sole purpose of posting it. Some of it just irritating, but some is downright mean and even dangerous.

Because he'll get more money?

Honest question here... Other than "I like Thailand" (or the Thai family) what would be the impediment to picking up sticks, cashing in your 400K baht (or 800K) and moving to the Philippines? I'm looking more for a comparison of the legal and financial hurdles than a discussion of the relative merits of life in LOS vs Phils.. Is that even doable? And if a Brit did move to the Phils, would their pension be boosted all at once or would it just start where it was in Thailand and be adjusted each year?

Legal immigrants. Duh.

Obama and Clinton didn't have activist lefty judges fighting them every step of the way. Not because deporting them is (or was) wrong, but Orange Man Bad. They won't let Trump succeed, no matter how much they have to damage the country to fight him.

Joe or Eugene?

Can you imagine the screeching if they didn't let the mothers take their kids with them, because they're citizens and she's not eligible? It doesn't matter what Team Trump does. The MSM will paint them to be monsters. Like when Team Trump "put kids in cages", but what they were really doing is keeping out the pedophiles. Team Biden lost track of 300,000 kids. There's going to be documentaries about that in decades to come. Like those Canadian schools for indigenous kids.

While that well and truly sucks, I suspect he's doing better than a retiree that's getting the full adjusted pension back in the UK. The saving grace back home is that a retiree can pick up some work. Not legal in Thailand. It should be a cautionary tale for anyone retiring with nothing but a state pension. You really need a nestegg, or you're going to struggle. Edit: On an aside, why not move to the Philippines?

Tough crowd.

I got an SMS from AIS in Thai, mentioning ID. I figured that it was related to this. So this month when I came to Bangkok, I went by an AIS shop in T21 and asked. They told me it was only for Thai people. Go figure...

It still is. Just a little smaller now. But probably just as corrupt.

By a gazillionaire in a department store, with no corroborating witnesses, and no recollection of what year it happened?

If you're talking about Judaism and circumcision, isn't that the same religion that banned pork, probably because they figured out that eating undercooked pork didn't work out so well? And that the wives of circumcised men suffered fewer "social diseases"? Whether either of those ended up being true, there's methods behind what may appear to be religious madness. Based on the science of the day.

They're deliberately confusing vetted legal immigrants with those who have come legally and found employment in the health care field. Personally, I don't want an unvetted illegal caring for my loved ones. I'd love to see them invite more and make the process easier for those with skills we need. But not the ones that are going to end up costing (According to Mayor Adams) $36,000 a year per head.

One of their problems (as I see it) is that any reasonable candidate that isn't on "the list" isn't going to make it through the primaries, if they even make it to the primaries. And right now, "the list" consists of a bunch of wackos that don't have anything beyond Orange Man Bad. Harris was a perfect example. AOC, too. They gave away the 2024 election. It was theirs to win if they had put up a decent candidate. But the decent ones were primaried out. In favor of a guy that everyone knew even then was cognitively incapable. Instead of finding their voice AGAINST Trump, howza 'bout finding a voice FOR Americans?

The scary thing is that he'd probably still be on the loose had he scooted for the Laos border, paid an agent, and gotten on a train. Or just blended in in Cambodia or Laos.

I don't know about the rest of them, but they aren't allowed to show them having sex standing up. It looks too much like dancing and that would get their book banned by the Southern Baptists.

They probably ran out of bail money. Sooner or later, you run out of OPM.

Bad news.

Wow. I'll betcha that was cathartic. But you're supposed to write it all down then burn it in a campfire on the full moon. I think there are some chants that go along with that.

Yeah. You'll get free stuff if you vote for us.

Never a dull moment.

All 3 of them in the past 2 years. That's the number of measles deaths. Out of over 300,000,000 people. (CDC numbers) And they're dying from measles because we invited millions in from the 3rd world without vetting their health or vax status. At the very same time we weren't allowed to go out to eat.
