Imagine if they stepped up to solve the brown envelope  business. 

Well, that's the only way it's going to happen. 

In your imagination. 

Two anti-vax articles out of three this morning? Someone left the nutty moderator in charge. Is Rattlesnake a mod?

Expect the sheep to bleat "But he's not a virologist!" in harmony (by the way, if only virologists are allowed to talk about this issue, then why were pharmacists giving vaccine advice to people?).

 

Anyway, great example which a lot of people should follow.

I agree. We need to cull those stupid enough to take these idiots at face value and who continue to pollute the public discourse with nonsensical conspiracy theories from nutters. Can't happen soon enough! Hope you've eschewed these horrible poisons too.

Am curious where all these Thais are getting their guns so easily. Seems everyone and their mother has a gun hiding somewhere in their home or possession. 

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.

Well live and learn eh.  I bet there are not many of us who knew this. 

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?

He mentioned that her lawyers would request a full copy of the court’s judgement in the coming days.

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?

You mean when he called a couple of pauses for people being treated for medical emergencies?  The Dems would have just kept yakking, and let them die.

 

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.”

Trump's speech was very funny.

Harris   who ducked the event had to use a professional comedian and illustrated her  failed attempt at humour via vidio. 

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.

While the U.S. presence was officially framed as peacekeeping, many Lebanese viewed it as an occupation, especially given the military actions and the broader geopolitical implications.

 

Hezbollah did receive some support from Iran and has Shia ideology, but its origins were  a response to the perceived failures of the Lebanese state and the ongoing violence from various factions, including Israel’s invasions.

 

It's primary purpose is most certainly not to destroy Israel. It is a defender of Lebanon and the Shia community.

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.

I’ll use up some more bandwidth.  I have huge respect for rank and file members of the military.  I have zero love for our fidiot leaders who treat illegals better than our own kids in uniform.  The ones that are pushing DEI instead of competence.  The ones that are sending our kids on fools’ errands without the resources they need.  The ones who tolerate horrible living conditions across military bases.  The ones that abandon them when they get back, damaged by what we asked them to do for us.

 

Resulting in recruitment shortfalls, inhumane military housing, no support for struggling vets, and on… and on…

 

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.

no footage then didn't happen, i'm never going to accept anonymous sources or 'reported'. Kelly is referring to McCain, of which Trump had addressed, the rest is all his word against Trump, and i'd say a disgruntled chief of staff. 

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.”

Ooooooo, he was the Watergate dude. But, despite his ability to ferret stuff out, you cant separate out whats real and whats made up. But he does sell books, and enjoys the ululations of the Left because he attacks Trump.

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?

do you have footage of trump saying 'suckers sand losers'?

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.
