I have no clue what is Biden's motivation. What is sad is that because of the extreme bias in much of the current media many people actually hold this view. They believe anyone that doesn't vote and believe in lockstep with them is garbage. Note there are some who believe voting for Kamala means you are also garbage. The political divide is terrible and I blame media for failing in it's role to present the news not what we should think, and to hold ALL politicians accountable for their actions and words.

I suspect much of the discord will reduce when this contentious election season ends. I for one refuse to get riled up by those who apparently WANT conflict here. I just ignore it. I'm still rich and incredibly handsome so what does it matter. 🤣

I did. All I saw was a person destroying what look like ballots while saying <deleted> Trump. Where is the part where the GOP makes an accusation? Which news story has Republicans accusing this person of destroying real ballots. It's intentional internet social media crap like this that has accusations. Not rational real life people or that party. Here is a link where it's obvious Republicans and Democrats both know this is a fake video. https://dailyvoice.com/pa/media/fake-video-of-ballots-being-destroyed-in-pa-goes-viral-fbi/

Some folks here aren't reading the whole story. Like skin grafts and weeks in hospital. And multiple people before her also suffering from injury because MCDs was selling this lava in flimsy cups with lids that didn't stay on in a drive-thru window. I agree on the surface it sounds ridiculous to sue over spilling coffee on oneself. But the devil is always in the details.

Yet the reality is it is NOT the Republicans saying this. It is some unknown entity with a created false video showing destruction of ballots specifically for Trump. Both the Republicans and Democrats have jointly announced this was NOT a real video. But of course some will bite and blame the Republicans.

Yup. We got too many lawyers and too many scumbags. But believe it or not the McDonald lawsuit was legit. https://www.enjuris.com/blog/resources/mcdonalds-hot-coffee-lawsuit/

We'll just take a few. Rapist? Stole documents to sell? Come on. If you really believe all that bilge it speaks volumes about your gullibility. I am no "maga Trump fan" but this is just so stupid. Those opposed to him should stick with reality and oppose him for what he did while in office or policies he has endorsed. This kind of stuff lowers the entire political debate to grade school level.

Aww isn't that cute. Someone assembled all the lies spread by the left and made up a "resume". 🤣

That's the problem we Yanks face. We have to choose between a narcissistic bombastic guy who should really talk less but did an OK job as president when he was in office, or an idiot who has never been elected to dog catcher and can't answer a simple question without cackling and showing how stupid she is. Hard to believe our choices boil down to this.

That is a great skit. Watched it several times. I have a buddy who actually killed a hawk perched in a tree. he felt horrible.

My cardiologist is a woman. I think she enjoys watching me suffer on the treadmill during stress testing. I simply can not get my heart rate high enough. Betting I could not satisfy her in bed either. 🤣

I think it's more a factor we haven't had a good woman candidate yet. The bigger problem is how our system selects candidates. The primaries force candidates favor the extremes resulting in Trump or Kamala types instead of more middle of the road types. I don't see it improving any time soon. Sadly Kamala might actually be elected and the first woman president. She will be there solely for her gender and skin tone selected by the DEM party. She never won a single primary back in 2020 and there wasn't one this time as Biden won it and then handed off to her. But the machine has been so effective in demonizing Trump she could win.

I didn't read most of this thread. Just my vote - I have no problem with a woman president. I do not like the two candidates we have had to date (Hillary and Kamala) but that is more to do with their politics and qualities than gender. If for example Condolezza Rice ran I'd be 100% OK with her as president.

Still shielding her. No tough follow up questions. Come on, a black political group isn't going to put her to the test. Get back to me when she sits down with a real journalist that isn't in the bag for her.

Well you made the claim how bout a few sources for someone who wasn't paying attention. 😅

Today is the first time I heard any media call her out for non-answers other than Fox news.

If I were advising her I would suggest not debating again. And to continue evading any serious interviews with media. Heck it is working. Sadly the American electorate is so shallow they won't force her feet to the fire to be more available and actually answer questions with a real response. But yeah, if she wants to win the media is shielding her and she should stay her course.

Seems like the left wing college students are the one intimidating Jews in the US. Not sure where you attach this to Trump.

Yeah to clarify I am on a 60 day tourist evisa from the USA. I qualify for a 30 day extension. Got no golf Monday or Tuesday so I'll mosey on over and get it done.

Thanks all. Guess I'll get the extension. I did calculate wrong. by one day. I missed it was leap year and made it two. I think when I calculated since I had an early flight I was planning on arriving at the airport before midnight and alls well but not now and not with last years one day overstay. I don't mind the money it's the hassle of the extension but better that than a potential greater hassle I guess.

Sorry I have been remiss returning to this thread. I was lucky enough to find a used Yamaha AC5R here in Pattaya. In the states I own R Taylor, McPherson, Martin and a Kevin Ryan. No, the Yamaha isn't as good as them but it is really nice once I got new strings on it. If I become poor at some point in life and this was the only guitar I could keep I'd not feel I was playing a substandard instrument. Funniest part was I bought it from a young Thai man who is an ordained Catholic Priest. He made it easy and came to my hotel and let me try it. Even with old strings I knew it was a keeper.

OK, I have miscalculated my visa. I will be departing 2 days after my visa ends. I can get an extension or arrive at the airport two days overstay. It isn't too late to get the extension. What says the board? I don't want to risk problems in getting future visas. Oh, and I had a one day overstay last year. Do they track this stuff if it's minor or? Opinions or experiences welcome.

Thanks I'll check out Guitar Room. Seems barren here for nicer options.

I am looking for a decent acoustic guitar. Seems the highest quality I can find in Pattaya might be a Yamaha with laminate sides and back. I'd like a step up. Is there a store with higher end brands? Also asking this in the Bangkok forum as I might have to make a trip to find what I want. Thanks

Guys are making me worry. In the past I didn't always check bags as I owned a condo and didn't want to check. Bummer is I am carrying some items for friends that live there that I can not carry on the plane. Since someone is bound to want to know what it is several large tubes of Fixodent which he claims he can not get in Thailand. He is a dear friend and it's not a big deal to get it here. Also have some large containers of over the counter pain meds like Tylenol for another pal. Yeah, me and friends are all old gits. Still I can't remember ever waiting an excessive amount there. I do recall once in Don Muang waiting a while. Heck, my home airport here in AZ sucks for baggage delivery. Well I am committed to bringing the stuff and no help for it.
