What's that got to do with it? I've been assured numerous times on this forum that guns aren't the issue...

That's some ethical posting there, thanks! My goodness, they should do the catwalk with the team of surgeons who constructed each contestant. Could find better looking candidates in any go-go bar in Bangers, plus they'd be somewhat more composed of organic material.

Of course not! We've been reliably informed on several occasions that it's a family resort.

I love that there's the detail about the position - do the Phuket Police have a book where they can look up what's a "standard sexual position" versus something a bit kinkier?

I'm guessing you're not of the same age and crowd as the unfortunate victims so hardly at risk. But yes, whenever I see any tragedy happen anywhere to anyone, I immediately cross that country off of my list. That's why I haven't left my house in forty years!

Once upon a time Iran was one of the more modern countries in the Middle East. WWII ended almost 80 years ago.

New? Founding member.

That's not very useful though, is it? What would a photocopy of the stacks of bills that the Swiss dude and his wife paid do for the lawyer?

Speaking of liars who continuously lie about the easiest things in the world to check...that would be YOU I'm talking about. So when did Kelly first report about Trump's disparaging comments about the military? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/john-kelly-confirms-trump-privately-disparaged-us-service-members-vete-rcna118543 Read the date, 3 October 2023. You are a liar.

You guys really think that lying about stuff then posting will work? It's worked for Trump, so why not us? I guess? Rather than continue after paramedics assisted the two people, Trump instructed his staff to just play music from a playlist he has personally curated and famously often turns on during dinners at Mar-a-Lago. “Who the hell wants to hear questions?” Trump said at the event where the entire point was to take audience questions. “Right?” What followed was more than 30 minutes of Trump swaying on stage and occasionally doing his well-known two-handed dance to some of his favorite tunes, chatting with the event's host, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, and occasionally interacting with attendees who were seated behind the stage. “This is the weirdest church service I have ever been to,” a first-time rallygoer who did not give their name told NBC News of the music portion of the event, which opened with “Ave Maria.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trumps-bizarre-music-session-reignites-questions-mental-acuity-rcna175464

For those who are his base, sure. For the rest of us, it was small-minded and snarky, without any grace befitting the occasion - a Catholic charity event. Mind you, I can't blame you for your enthusiasm. It's a hell of a lot better than some old guy dancing around to music for half an hour during a so-called "Town Hall" event.

So why did Trump choose this scripted event rather than cancel his interviews? Kamala went on Fox and eviscerated their hostile interviewer Bret Baier. Why is Trump afraid to go live now? Why did he have a towel under him during his friendly questioning on Fox and Friends?

This is blatant misinformation. Hezbollah is a proxy for Iran and has very little support from large swaths of the Lebanese population. You seem to be in favour of a country hundreds of miles away arming and supporting a particular religious group to destabilize and overthrow the democracy they're within in order to wage geo-political war against their enemy who are also hundreds of miles away.

You forgot about selling state secrets to Russia. Remember the spate of deep plants suddenly dying by the dozens when he was Prez? Coincidence, right? And do you take thousands of documents from your place of work after you leave and store them in your bathroom at your house afterwards without telling anyone...and they contain highly classified FYEO documents?

Yet it only seems to matter to people like yourself. Wonder why?

Mixed race I guess would be the designation. That bother you also? Hopefully Kamala's Presidency will lead America to a kinder and gentler place even before the racist boomers die off.

For once he's showing some sense and planning for the future. Like always however, it's for his own future, nothing to do with anyone else. Once he's been tossed into the dustbin of history after he gets his butt kicked in the election by an ethic woman, he's surely heading for Russia or anywhere other than America, a place he clearly despises as he says in practically every location he goes. So he's greasing the skids so that he doesn't get taxed in America from whichever dictatorship offers him sanctuary. By the way, where are those budget hawks that our RW friends inevitably turn into once the Democrats win the election? Aren't you concerned about the deficit all this tax-cutting will result in? You do know that Trump raised the deficit by over $4 Trillion when he was President, right?

You left out the rest of it, here, I'll do it for you. ...and so I unconditionally support the guy who openly disparages those same people and whose party regularly cuts benefits from the soldiers who return. And whose policies will do even LESS for the disabled military veterans should they get into power and enact their agenda. https://www.military.com/daily-news/opinions/2024/08/12/republican-project-2025-takes-dead-aim-veterans-health-and-disability-benefits.html

Okay, that's good to know. I will remind you of this from this point onwards. You do realize you have just invalidated every and any point you have made or will make so long as there isn't video evidence of same, right? I fear for your sanity once AI video becomes impossible to distinguish from real video. BTW, General Kelly was referring to more than John McCain though. "A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them,'" Kelly said of Trump. "A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family — for all Gold Star families — on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.”

Good for you! You stated a fact! Yes, one of the most celebrated American journalists. What does his ability in journalism have to do with what I find to be real or what's made up? He's the journalist, he's won the Putlitzer Prize and had an entire freakin' movie made about him and yes, he's got quite a lot of credibility that dates from, oh, 1972? This is really too easy, can you guys at least come up with SOMETHING that is a bit of a challenge?

No, and I'm not making fun of your misquote. Here's the article discussing Trump's noted contempt for the soldiers. You will note that there are numerous examples, not just the one. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ Here's General John Kelly confirming three years later that Trump said it. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/john-kelly-confirms-trump-privately-disparaged-us-service-members-vete-rcna118543 So I guessing you're going to now pretend if there wasn't footage, then it wasn't said? Even though this account by the Atlantic was corroborated by several witnesses, and the instances of him calling military soldiers who died or were captured "suckers" and "losers" occurred at several different times and locations? You guys are really terrible debaters. This is a really poor choice as a hill to die upon, so to speak. Given that DJT dodged the draft with bonespurs and has so many times disparaged the military as detailed in that report.

So, "yes". You could have saved us all some bandwidth.

Yeah, I mean, what has Bob Woodward ever done?

Well, go ahead then boys! Pile on in and fill your boots! Easy money right? I would "bet" that none of you would be willing to risk a single satang because you already know you're going to lose. Just look at how desperately you're clutching at straws. A betting site run by Peter Thiel. LOLOLOL!

At least you're honest about your political leanings and outright racism.
