Or, just leave 800,000 in the bank year-round.

Glacial.

Tim is a definite plus and a great fit for Harris. While Harris is a somewhat exotic candidate--a woman of color--Tim nicely tempers that by being a steady, regular guy with plenty of experience. They can easily see him as someone who can take over as president, if need be. In short, he moves the needle in a very positive way. I think he will pull in lots of undecided voters to vote Democrat, reassure and energize Democrats, and likely pull in Republicans who can't stomach Trump, or Vance. Picking Vance was a huge mistake (thank you!) for Trump. He already has the wacko and weird vote locked up. Choosing a wacko and weird VP to solidify a voting group that really didn't need any help was not the way to go. Even your best case, Vance being 'neutral' and not a negative, brings absolutely nothing to the table. Why would you choose someone 'neutral' who doesn't even move the needle? How does having a ticket of Weird and Weirder get you across the finish line? Trump needed far more than 'neutral' to make the undecided voters and sane Republicans take a second look. In two presidential elections, he has lost the popular vote badly--2.8 million and, even worse, 7 million--going backwards with the voters. How does he do any better this time around as a convicted felon and rapist, with other serious charges hanging over his head? And, at age 78, lots of voters see Trump as a doddering, delusional, dead man walking and will be looking at who steps in should Trump depart for Danteland. Vance as that person scares far too many. Trump made a terrible, terrible choice. Yaa!!!

Great decision, especially compared to Trump's VP pick.

Throw the book at the tour company. It could have easily resulted in more than one dead.

No.

Sadly, true.

Yes, good move. Start the new political party immediately, with those MFP elected members not banned joining it, instead of one of the othr parties.

Terrible, terrible decision. Banning Thailand's best and brightest from participating in government is the absolute worst part of the ruling. So sad for Thailand.

Poor Donald. My heart's filled with Walz's 'joy'.

Dated products can't compete with fresher, better, less expensive models from China--with more on the way. Tesla was first out the gate but has faltered. No new factory means they have enough build capacity now for the sales they have.

Don't wait for him to 'recover'. Pack him on to the next plane out and ban him for life.

Ivanka is 42 so let's change that to Ivanka's age and down.

Whatever happens with the ruling, they can't dissolve a movement. A political party? Yes. But not the movement driving the popularity of the party. They can play Whack-A-Mole all they want but will keep failing. The movement will continue, just in a different name for the next iteration of the party moving Thailand forward.

Most surprising thing is I like it much more than I thought I would. That, and Pattaya actually is a family-friendly city.

Any on the list are far better than the whackjob Trump picked.

If this is 'advancing' it's at a snail's pace.

My spouse and I do at least 1 load of clothes a day. I would recommend both a clothes washer and a dryer. We've used most all the brands and haven't had a problem with any of them, including Samsung.

Saw the headline and thought, uhh-oh, I need to run off dozens and dozens of new applications for the 'Just Can't Quit Pattaya Fan Club'. Judging from the 5 pages of responses so far, it looks like there are tragically high numbers of those who wish, wish, wish they were here. I shall get those applications out to you toot sweet. Just try to hang on till then; surely there is something for you to do where you washed up. Think, there must be! Is it too soon to sort your socks again?

Or, 80.

I don't think I am required to post everything under the sun that I am thinking. For example, it just popped into my head that Trump's adult diapers are, perhaps, making him look, in Walker88's apt description, even more like a 'blubberbutt'. All that extra diaper padding is also emphasizing his broad, child-bearing hips, in not a flattering way, in my opinion. But, I shall keep those thoughts to myself.

I'm struggling mightily to see your 'many an inflammatory name was given to trump' in Walker88's terrific and well-written post. Where are they? Trump was referred to as a felon several times, which he is. I much admired the use of 'Senor Felonista'--added a fun and interesting way to say felon. Which, again, Trump is--so nothing inflammatory. Perhaps 'blubberbutt'? Trump, as everyone knows, is grossly overweight so really nothing inflammatory there, just truth. Again, just a great way to say to describe him and keep the reader's interest. I'm partial to 'big tub of lard' for Trump. Maybe 'long rapsheet'? Sorry, true, and likely getting longer with all his current indictments. And, also sorry to keep repeating but--nothing inflammatory, folks. Truth. What about 'civilly convicted rapist'? Unfortunately for America, that, too, is indeed true--you only have to ask the judge who handled the case. We have a convicted rapist running for president. Never thought I'd be typing that sentence! Nothing inflammatory. Which brings us to the final questionable label applied to Trump by the poster--'weird'. I suppose one man's weird could be another man's normal but I, and I think many others, find Trump incredibly weird, in many myriad ways, starting with his serial lying, even in instances when he didn't need to lie. Weird. But, what's even weirder is the 'goobers' supporting him. Let's not be goobers!

Buh bye bye

Certainly hope he is banned from driving passengers.
