So Trump employing his family, without any particular qualification, was bad. Good to know! ????

Biden did nothing? He's trying to revive the TPP, scratched by Trump, has created a military alliance against China, and also revived the Quad. As mentioned by another poster, he also launched a plan to secure strategic supply chains, I.e. in semi-conductors. Biden is acting at the strategic level, not just on short-term like Trump! Trumps tariffs have been predicted to be useless and have been useless. They had no impact on trade deficit with China. He did a few good things, though, such as banning Huawei from infrastructure deals.

Look the other way! It seems to be a popular technique used to defend the undefensible those days....

There's not to these nut jobs, because it works! There is a mass of people ready to believe anything Jones and other crooks like him (including politicians) may feed them with. All these conspiracy theories, such as 9/11, Sandy Hook, pizzagate, stolen elections, vaccine, etc... got a large audience, not only in social media but also in mass media such as Fox News. As long as there are people ready to believe such B.S., there will be people who will take advantage of it.

To be accused of being a paid actor, and not a parent of a dead or injured child, looks like defamation to me.

He only claimed the parents were paid actors.... ????

Is someone experienced in smoking hybrid Sativa/Indica? I haven't smoked weed for years, but recently, I bought high THC Sativa flowers in Barcelona (don't remember name, one was Nigerian something and the other had small buds, the effect rather similar). With only a small joint, It was very energizing, I never felt tired after a few hours and had a rather clear mind. I even sometimes found it difficult to just sit and always wanted to be on the move. However, I found it even a bit too energizing and even a bit stressing. I also did not feel much euphoria or feeling of well-being. It seems to be rather an Indica effect but I don't want Indica as I smoke mainly to go out in music bars, such as Hillary in Bangkok or Candyshop in Pattaya, dance a bit, have fun, go to Gogo bars for a while etc... not to fall asleep on a kush. Hybrids may be a solution, but I am lost between all the different strains sold in Thailand. I started to read about it, and noticed strains such as Laughing Buddha or Runtz. Any experience or advices?

Thank you for your reply. I will check your tips!

Well, from the frequency with which it is evoked in this forum's posts, it seems It's one subject that matters much to right-wing posters, along with LGBT.

As usual, this is a lie. You should check information before parroting Trump's lies. https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-donald-trump-85-billion-left-taliban-afghanistan-1636885 https://www.factcheck.org/2021/09/republicans-inflate-cost-of-taliban-seized-u-s-military-equipment/

What are the good cannabis shops in Pattaya? I heard about Candyland in Soi Bua Khao. I checked the menu, premium weed at 500/600 per g. There is Blow Cannabis nearby but the price is 590/790 for premium. From looking at Google maps, it seems shops are flourishing and I guess It's difficult to find out which ones are good. What is your experience, in terms of choice, quality, price, and also advices to help customers make a choice?

That's why I ask! ????

The energy price is not a domestic issue and It's not the local production which will have much effect. On top of it, several projects have been halted during the pandemic and it seems energy companies are not keen to invest. Biden's plan may help a bit (selling oil from strategic reserve and guarantee refill orders to producers), but not sure it will have much impact on the global market. Lowering taxes has a similar effect as spending to help the American people (people spend more money, which increases inflation). The difference is that tax cuts à la Trump benefit the rich, while targeted subsidies can help the poor and people in need at specific occasions. Tax cuts also increase budget deficit in the same way as spending (ex. Trumps tax cuts)

She's an old fox. I would not be surprised if the uncertainty about her going to Taiwan was actually calculated.

The main reason is inflation, which is global phenomenon. BTW, what are the practical proposals from Republicans to tackle inflation on short-term?

A true and interesting remark. It seems the expression (Grosse Lűge) was coined by Hitler. The big lie is also known as a propaganda technique, used by the Nazis and others, I.e. Goebbels: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." Connoisseurs will identify the similarity with Bannon's precepts. Maybe an intellectual filiation?

What an humiliation for Trump to be beaten by such a pale candidate. He must have been a really bad President! ????

I have no esteem for Hunter, he's mainly parasiting his family name. If he's convicted, no problem for me. However, there's nothing new there. Most of it has been known for years. 1 to 4 are strictly personal so doen't concern Biden. Influence peddling could be a problem but there's no evidence he obtained anything from his father it t has already been investigated by a GOP committee for what was known during Trumps mandate (i.e. the Ukraine conspiracy theory). What came up recently was the large amount of money Hunter got from a Chinese firm (linked to the CCP and the army, as any strategic industry in China). However, it was in 2017 and there was nothing to obtain from Joe as he had no public mandate. No influence peddling because no influence.

Same news everywhere

Answer which questions? Which crimes has his son committee and how is his father responsible for it?

A better job situation and wage level (thanks to ALENA?) probably played à role. Now it's increasingly coming from poorer and more disturbed countries in Central American.

Right, lots of money spent for nothing. Events have shown they were not ready, and further analyses have identified that they were used to fight in complement to the U.S. army, not as stand-alone army. But it's Trump who made the deal. The Obama administration did not train the Afghan army in order to be able to apply Trump's deal. So Trump made a deal while one key element of it was not ready to play its role (and also not allowed to participate in the peace talks). Poor job from Trump.

The problem was that the Afghan army was not ready to operate alone. It takes long time (years) to train and prepare such an army, and the Trump administration did not do it properly.

The problem is that it seems Trump had no plan. It was initially scheduled in May and Biden found out he had to delay it more until the last possible moment (August). This kind of operations need to be prepared long time in advance. The problem is not the withdrawal itself, but the preparation of the Afghan army. They were simply not prepared enough by the Trump administration. Then Biden had a choice: either apply the agreement or fight again with the Talibans. I guess it is not what Americans wanted. If Biden had chosen to fight again, I have no doubt you would have complained about war mongering Biden, while Trump had negotiated the perfect peace agreement.

And 86% are not "not confident at all, so they agree with me! ????
