I find is extremely odd that this dopped out of the news cycle within a few days, didnt seem to be any investigation into the shooter.

Did the msm not cover it because it gave Trump the wrong kind of attention they want or was it something more sinister?

Why of all rallies did CNN chose to stream that one in full

That ear wounds do not heal is ridiculous. They actually heal very quickly, given the high blood flow. 

 

The caliber of the bullet makes no difference, as it just nicked the ear. Have you ever nicked yourself shaving? Does it take a long time to heal? Does it leave a big scar? 

 

So, is it your position that it was staged or what? 

The high blood flow is also why there was so much blood from a graze..same with a head wound

He was lucky, period. If that man was a better shot we would have a different president now. Shooting at a president campaigning is a cowardly act, no matter who the candidate. Similar to Hitler? Hitler committed suicide like a coward. Are you saying God protected Hitler, one of the most vile creatures ever to walk this planet?

Hitler went off Argentina while many other tops Nazis went to the US.

The market is stabilizing after having the idiotic tariffs cancelled. He is still trying to explode the economy, Iran was just the latest stop on the crazy train.

Tariffs were not cancelled, those that have already been signed brought in 22b in May alone.

Well that was 3 pages of bitter of expats bitching and moaning about how bad Thailand is....like the Thai Visa of old.

Is life really that bad here?... you know there are multiple flights out everyday.

I spent 3.5 months there last summer. Having a bank account made it much easier to transfer money, gave me access to "scan to pay" and Bangkok Bank has cardless withdrawals so I didn't have to carry my debit card.

There's also the fact that I already had a bank account that was working fine.

If you want to accuse me of money laundering, there are the Thai defamation laws.  Do you want to run into that kind of criminal trouble?

Also, there are countries where I can easily open a bank account, I know someone who has an account in Mexico.  It's really handy for taking advantages of exchange rate variations.

There is an app now for tourists, you link your card and can then use the QR scan system as everyone else does.

Thailand is no longer attracting very many Western tourists for a dozen very good reasons. Right now it is predominantly Malaysian, Indian, Arab, Chinese, and Russian. One could argue that these are relatively low quality tourists, in terms of the amounts of money that they spend. Sure you have a few wealthy Russians and some  wealthy Chinese, but most are lower to middle income and don't spend alot. 

 

Thailand suffers from an impossible level of smugness and arrogance, and a persistent belief that they are truly the center of the universe and the best thing in the world. They don't have a clue. Sometimes it feels like the fact that the nation was never colonized was a leading factor in this hubris and inability to see the world for what it is. The severe inability to adapt, improve, and reform, has hurt their prospects. 

 

It's all good. Far less tourism would make Thailand far more comfortable for the tourists who come, and for the expats, and would likely lead to better attitudes amongst people in tourism. They simply would need to be creative in figuring out ways to make up for the lost billions in revenue. 

 

This process will not be reversed until the authorities wake up and make some sacrifices such as lowering luxury taxes, lowering wine taxes, cleaning up the air, making the highways safer, allowing more private air travel, helicopter travel, high-speed trains and alternatives to the totally choked and extremely hazardous highways. 

Absolute rubbish, Koh Tao has been rammed since December with tourists from all over, only signs of it slowing at all were from second week of June, however its still relatively busy. You are talkin about tourism from an expat point of view, and a seemingly bitter one at that.

Tourist Dont see the things you see as an expat, Pattaya will only get 50% of tourists because females dont go whoring it up Like guys do, the tourists that come to Tao dont need hookers either. They can hook up with normally like most younger people do.

The haters and other forum trolls need to be put on 'every post moderated before published' list.

Which would only allow them to post 2x a day, removing their attention seeking satisfaction.

It would be an end to trolls, but on a forum funded by Google ad clicks, would hurt the income of the forum.

Yeah, i think the ad revenue is why so many are posted or allowed, Trump has kept CNN & MSNBC going, they had a massive slump in ratings after the 2020 loss to mail in ballot cheating.

I'd imagine trump the the sole reason many social media channels still exist

Trump haters are incapable of rational thought, and we might be facing nearly 4 more years of this.

Yeah, they went silent from November to jan, no doubt licking their wounds, i thought it might have quietened a few down for good, but nope,come 21St Jan the frothing headless chickens returned with a vengeance, its been 6 trump threads daily and it doesnt show any signs of slowing down.

What a sad life, 12 years or retired life spent hating on 1 man.

The syndrome needs to be officially recognised so they can get the prescribed  treatment

Certainly he’s your Daddy given that he occupies the bulk of the real estate of your minds.

These guys are pathetic, a day doesnt pass without them bitching and crying about somethimg Trump, even like this, when an anecdotal conversation is now somehow desperately spun major news.

Along come the frothy mouthed Trumpets 

The syndrome is very real!

Face tatts are stupid.

I wonder if he will have issues renewing his passport or future facial recognition in airports

Translation…another day another stupid trump doing stupid trump things (when he’s not trolling that is) just beggars belief no wonder the European elites call him the vulgarin.

Well, for a start Trump didnt even say 'daddy'

Who The F cares what 'European elites' think.... are you a fan of elites now?

Along with illegal immigrants, gang members and criminals. Tesla vandals, BLM rioters, LA rioters

actively searching the internet for anything as ridiculous as that is a clear sign of a mental health condition,  And done by a non American to make it even worse.

Another day, another Trump thread

today I spent a few hours chatting up the farang totty down at the beach.

 

there were five girls, all below 25 and they were such a great laugh…

5 stunners, talk about tanning models, and all of them well educated.

 

we swam together, splashed about in the sea together and one of them even grabbed my bum!

 

I personally think foreign women are great, so easy to get along with and never any money asked for up front.

 

They are genuine people with hearts of gold.

They are probably telling their friends "we met an old guy earlier, he was about 70, recently divorced and looking desperate. Poor guy, we humoured him for a while,  but he was just too letchy for us"
