  1. Hivemind.....buzz word...... I see what you did there.
  2. Right and Trump's plan to replace it is....."don't get sick." So much winning.
  3. Wow. People still stressing over this. A complete non-event unless you actually work in Thailand and/or have "assessable income". Otherwise.....a whole lotta nada.
  4. The number of despicable MAGAs on here defending child rapists is astonishing. What self-respecting website would allow such low-lifes to continue to post in defense of child rape?
  5. "Deploying the same methodology that Republicans used to track cost increases under former President Joe Biden, JEC Democrats found that the average US family is spending roughly $700 more per month on basic items since Trump took office in January, pledging to bring prices “way down.” In some states—including Alaska, California, and Colorado—average families are spending over $1,000 more per month to maintain their living standards as costs continue to rise, in part due to Trump’s erratic tariff regime." https://www.commondreams.org/news/inflation-under-donald-trump

  7. Yeah, if you are an MK customer drinking a beer is the least worst thing about you.
  8. People still drink cow's milk? Ugh. Couldn't pay me to drink it. (Unpopular opinion, admittedly.)
  9. Thumbs up for the "poles apart" comment on a thread about magnets.
  10. Forty years, lol. Never happen. (Stupid) Americans let the genie out of the bottle. The authoritarian state is here to stay. America as you remember it is over. The fact that the Constitution could be so easily discarded by someone who is - quite frankly - an idiot tells you it wasn't worth the paper it's written on.
  11. So....went to my local joint today at 4:00 pm, ordered a beer (like everyone else) and encountered no difficulty. I didn't get fined 10K THB, the police didn't ask to see my ID, Big Jok didn't jump out from behind the bushes and shout the Thai language equivalent of "ah ha!" Carry on, much ado about nothing. Edit to add: If you are one of the posters on this thread who wondered if you could legally drink at home during 2:00-5:00 pm - are you joking or just stupid? As if the Thai police cadre is going to move house to house looking for people drinking. LMFAO at some of the old geezers who are so befuddled they think their homes are somehow going to be targeted for beer drinking.
  12. It's unquestionably clear to me that you can.
  13. That's what you concluded from reading the OP? Astounding.
  14. As others have said, ignore. You owe no tax. [This is an opinion (albeit an informed opinion) and not tax advice.]
  15. I did google "what did pete hegseth have for breakfast" and here's what I found: "Pete Hegseth reportedly had three gin and tonics for breakfast during a weekday meeting in the spring of 2023. While other instances of him having breakfast have occurred, this is the most frequently cited example of what he ate or drank for breakfast, as detailed by sources including Daring Fireball, The Guardian, and The New Yorker."
  16. I LOVE hearing this statement repeated over and over. Since Republicans don't have 60 votes, they don't get to insist that everyone else complies with whatever they order. They need the opposition to cooperate and that requires negotiation and compromise to obtain - that should be blindingly obvious by now. This is Wile E. Coyote level of stupidity by the GOP.
  17. Another Trump presidency, another record-setting government shutdown. Incompetence and the inability to effectively govern. Until the Make Americans Goobers Again crowd understands that effective governance requires negotiation and compromise, they'll continue to flounder.
  18. As you have pointed out, it's actually a great example of ICE overstepping their "regulations", as you put it. What does "driving a car you have no right to drive" have to do with Immigration or Customs - oh wait, do you think she imported the car without paying tax? Perhaps the camera was smuggled across the border, lol? Despite what the Make Americans Goobers Again sycophants would like us to believe, ICE is not the local police and whether ICE likes it or not there is no law against photography in public spaces. But as we've seen - time and again - the Make Americans Goobers Again morons support masked unaccountable armed thugs who assault American citizens illegally and then try to blame it on the American citizen. Pitiful and pathetic but par for the course for this Administration.
  19. This is provably false with a simple google search. Try "ICE rams US citizens cars" for starters. Or how about illegally detaining an American citizen for taking photos? Is that part of "regulation"? "An Oregon woman who is a U.S. citizen was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for about seven hours last Monday after taking pictures of agents’ unmarked cars near a Gresham Chick-fil-A." https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/11/ice-detains-us-citizen-for-7-hours-after-she-photographed-agents-in-gresham.html
  20. Agreed. And someone should explain that to the ICE Goonstapo roaming the streets and actually assaulting American citizens.
