"He seems to be saying that the first is dangerous and the second is obscene."

Short skirts are dangerous, and fighting is obscene. He's got it backwards.

How can we tell freshmen from seniors if not by length (or lack of) skirt?

Is he going to crackdown on 'sugar daddies"?

"We had to destroy that economy in order to save it"

Pathetic bit is silence of UK and USA "leaders" looking away and whistling Dixie or Col Bogey's march

Some may call him a liar and a leaker. Did he lie? No. Perhaps "whistle blower" more fitting aka making public info regarding obstruction of justice seems commendable.

Trump "leaked" top secret info to the Russians in the oval office shortly after he was sworn in.

His "out" is that he can change classification of any intelligence info at a whim

Launch codes next?

Did they not ask about workplace harassment? "Goes with the territory"

Compared with work and relatives, the other items covered are piddling

Was Thailand in WW1? I believe I read that Thai ambassador in DC never delivered the declaration of war for WW2, so technically Thailand wasn't at war with USA. Been a role model for Thai mail ever since. Oh, and walls in front of US embassy "200 years of Thai-American friendship", which I reckon means we "hooked up" 205 years before? No mention of "continuous friendship"

Maybe they can work on group sing of this Dylan tune:

It's a restless hungry feeling
That don't mean no one no good
When ev'rything I'm a-sayin'
You can say it just as good
You're right from your side
I'm right from mine
We're both just one too many mornings
An' a thousand miles behind

way past pull date for them to "put your money where your mouth is"

"Children born overseas to non-military, non-government parents still automatically gain U.S. citizenship so long as at least one parent is a U.S. citizen who has previously lived in the United States for five years or more."

Not so sure about that. US expat friend's wife had their baby. He wanted to register child for SS benefits in case he died. Had to get DNA test at specific hospital to satisfy US Embassy.

If citizenship were "automatic" he wouldn't have to jump through those hoops

When will Trump and his minions decide I am no longer a US citizen because I only go back to states for maybe 3 weeks a year?

A man without a country? Or a country without a man?

I do wish reports would note difference between "the United States" and "Trump administration". They are not one and the same. I would guess majority of Americans would favor giving aid to put out the fires.

Surprised Trump has not suggested raking all the leaves up in Amazon to prevent fires like he did for California

"BS talks and money walks" to flip the adage

"circular economy" makes my head spin

"We conduct ourselves on the basis that we are all Thai people and we are not out to kill each other,"

Gotta be one or the other, but not both

Guess he's never driven here, had electrical work done, eaten food grown here, etc etc

Few things more admirable than a reformed sinner. Ex smokers are particularly good role models but they have the troubling tendency to remind smokers how stupid and weak willed they are.

You have your opinion, I mine.

I prefer people who don't need to "reform". I considered being a drug and alcohol counselor, but seems they only accepted former addicts and drunks. I wonder if I'd taken that step if I could write off drugs and booze as "educational expenses"?

Yikes! I am looking for intelligent intelligent friends who have as sense of humor. 

I used to work on a ranch, quite good around horses. Boss said I was a stable genius...

Trump gonna sweeten the deal by throwing in the Brooklyn Bridge. BJ will offer a knighthood.

Illegal under Constitution (article 1, section 9), but who has time to read? He's already taken enough emoluments to be thrown out, one more can't hurt

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 10,000 times... what, am I an idiot?"

To repeat myself, it's 4 am CLOSING time, not opening. Sheesh!

"3. An area should be set up where tourists can get a fair price for public transport to take them home."

Vietnam?
