From the OP: His sentencing is set for July, where he could face a substantial prison term for his actions. -

Half of US soldiers to potentially pull out of European wimmuns. Fixed it for you. Over paid, over sexed and over here... Not to mention drop dead hansum. -
Trump Wields Executive Order to Dismantle State Climate Laws
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I wonder how many interns Kennedy boffed in those hallowed hallways. And Clinton. Edit: And how many bags of coke they'll find during Trump 2. So far, Team Biden's ahead 1-0. -

You should do a TV commercial on that. I was almost in tears the first time I went to Pattaya thinking I was going to an exotic, unspoiled beach for a golf tournament. I grew to like the place (well, Jomtien) but it was a shock the first time, especially with Friday traffic. -

I guess you're forgetting that ole' Joe piled on more debt than Trump, added more jobs for "newcomers" than natives, and the only reason the unemployment rate didn't skyrocket is because they didn't count the millions of unemployed newcomers in the labor pool yet. Are you digging on Joe's $40 billion high speed internet that has so far connected zero customers to high speed internet? They could be serving millions of users for years now, but that would have been a win for a Trump supporter. -
Concerns Grow as Injured Foreigner Vanishes After Bar Brawl on Koh Lanta
impulse replied to snoop1130's topic in Krabi News
Hard to tell if they're concerned that he may have escaped, or that he may be injured and in need of medical attention (or worse). I always read these stories with my fingers crossed that it happened in the wee hours when old farts like me are (wisely) snoozing away. 10:30 is kinda pushing it. -

Don't apologize. It was good info. -
Trump Wants to Remove US Citizens from the US

So what are the options? Let him go so he can plan another attack to kill thousands of Americans? -

At least he knows what he's signing. Biden denied signing stuff that had his signature on it. We'll probably never know whether that's because he's an old guy with a poor memory or his flunkies were signing all kinds of stuff without his knowledge or consent. That's just plain scary. -
British Fighter's Promising Career Ends in Tragic Overdose in Thailand

Who's that guy with you? (Sorry, couldn't resist...) -
I miss those days. We all do. Nowadays, they have to compile poop maps in those same cities because it's not nice to call a spade a spade. China's lapping us precisely because they don't practice that fooknuttery. (Edit: Among other reasons...) We want those good ol' days back. That's that last A in MAGA.

Macau's MGM Grand Paradise Offers High-Paying Jobs for Thais
impulse replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I wonder how many seconds it took to fill 73 positions at those advertised salaries? -
We had one guy who was a "guest" of Sadam for a few months during the first Gulf war when they took over an offshore platform. Another guy (different company) cost the company over $1 million when his car hit a camel. He wasn't even driving. He was just in the car. But they wouldn't release him until the compensation was paid. My brother's company kept a yacht at the marina and his orders were to get on the yacht and over the horizon because the host country didn't have a navy to speak of. All of them had practice drills for what to do. So carrying $10K and a first class ticket was cheap bug out gear. My career wasn't in nearly as dodgy areas. Our offshore platforms in south Thailand were once surrounded by angry fishermen who wouldn't let anyone come or go. But that was before I got there. I loved working in S Thailand. Great people.

Oilfield trash.

I keep $4900 emergency cash when I travel (to stay under the $5000 reporting limit for some countries I transit). I keep it in my overhead bag, but it's in one of the hidden zippered compartments with a few bucks of sacrificial cash in the easier places. 49 bills make quite a lump in my pocket. And I do my best to look like a cheap Charlie when I travel. Companies I've worked for required our employees to carry $10K cash and an unrestricted first class ticket to get out of the country if SHTF. I picked up that habit. I've rarely broken into my cash stash, but never say never.

Trump Wants to Remove US Citizens from the US

As I said. If you're sitting in a prison, that means you've had all the due process that's due to you. If you've had that due process 4 times, I wouldn't object to sending you to a lower cost accommodation like in El Salvador. -
It says it's a Macau Airline flight. I didn't see where it specified the route. For example, I have flown to BKK on Xiamen Air departing about 6 different cities in China. Same with Shanghai Air and Sichuan Air. As I recall, my last flight from Macau to BKK was about a 2-1/2 hour flight. So, not exactly long haul.
