  1. Yes. I am envisioning a Capt. Queeg moment... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-95QqBXLG2I
  2. A bit like your posts, and you. Yes, you all should definitely plan to vote on November 24.
  3. I was surprised that it was the Harris side that wants Trump's mic to be UNMUTED. And that the Trump side seems reticent to accept this. Not what I was expecting. She is definitely messing with his head. Trump threatens to pull out of Harris debate, hot mics an issue https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-threatens-pull-out-harris-debate-hot-mics-an-issue-2024-08-26/ Why Harris wants to unmute Trump https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/27/politics/harris-trump-debate-rules-analysis/index.html
  4. Class of service: Economy, Business, First. Often referred to as Y, J and F.
  5. No, that's not my take on this. I think Imm Div 2, in an effort to streamline fast track for certain segments and have more flexibility in staffing, did drop F & J, without telling AoT/SBIA BKK. This created some backlash, where (again my take) AoT pushed back on Imm Div 2 to staff these booths to handle all previous pax and F & J. One can see, in the communications from AoT (SBIA/BKK) that Imm Div 2 was the controlling factor. We have confirmed with Immigration Division 2 that First and Business Class passengers are currently permitted to use the priority lanes. Any future changes to this policy will be at the discretion of Immigration Division 2, as they hold the ultimate authority on these matters. For further inquiries, please contact them directly at xxxx or by telephone at xxxx. Sincerely, Special Affairs and Community Relations Department Suvarnabhumi Airport While not a storm in a teacup, whatever that might be, it was a bit of a cock-up.
  6. "Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure," Zuckerberg wrote. 'Nuff said. Pressure, or the suggestion that some comments could harm the public, differs from censorship.
  7. I think many of these right-wing radical republicans expect the President to head down to Whole (Paycheck) Foods to re-price everything. That would make Jeff Bezos very angry.
  8. No. 24 weeks. Are you unable to read? CHICAGO --- Former president Donald Trump’s vice president pick U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance in June voted against the Right to IVF Act, which would have protected accessibility and affordability of in vitro fertilization (IVF) services nationwide. Northwestern University fertility expert says IVF should be the one thing all politicians can agree on. “The fact that he voted against the Right to IVF Act is very telling and very worrisome. IVF is fundamentally ‘pro-life’ in that it helps couples have children that would otherwise not be born,” said Dr. Eve Feinberg https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2024/july/j-d-vances-worrisome-anti-ivf-stance/?fj=1 He's not a OB GYN, he mixed up his fertility programs. Hardly a lie. https://apnews.com/article/tim-walz-ivf-fertility-jd-vance-fc5ebf8f37adb28cf45d0af51224a938 Don't be so hard on yourself.
  9. AFAIK, She wants Roe re-enacted. So that would be ~ 24 weeks (which I think covers ~ 99% of abortions). See pages 50 - 52 of the DNC Platform... https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FINAL-MASTER-PLATFORM.pdf She's also pro-IVF and against any restrictions on contraception.
  10. RFK Jr. Was My Drug Dealer Kennedy’s endorsement of Donald Trump raises an awkward question. By Kurt Andersen https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/08/rfk-jr-endorse-trump-execute-drug-dealers/679597/
  11. Lawrence O'Donnell eviscerates RFK Jr. RFK Jr. is 'the Jeffrey Dahmer of the animal kingdom' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7wNq3cjBkU
  12. Trump's campaign staff have been buying TV ads for Palm Beach County to counter George Conway's Anti-Psychopath PAC ads. Priceless, goading him into throwing away money where ads aren't needed.
  13. "Resurfaces". I see what they did there. Was this pre brain worm or post brain worm. A wretched, horrible human being. Drove his first wife to suicide (hanging). Argued with her family about her remains (weird). Sexually assaulted the nanny. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1rw8d0p2j7o Claims he didn't eat the dog, it was a goat. (Vanity Fair article https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/robert-kennedy-jr-shocking-history ) ...claimed there was a mysterious alternative shooter in the death of his father in 1968 (going so far as to interview Sirhan B. Sirhan in prison and proclaim him innocent); or that the CIA was possibly involved in the assassination—claims that caused deep pain for his siblings. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2018/05/26/who-killed-bobby-kennedy-his-son-rfk-jr-doesnt-believe-it-was-sirhan-sirhan/ To say that he is troubled is an understatement. Why anyone would think he's qualified for anything other than a padded cell is beyond me.
  14. Competitive sycophancy. One assumes Trump will get that added as a trial event in the 2028 Olympics.
  15. NASDAQ up 20.04 % YTD, DJIA up 9.35 % YTD. I think Trump/Vance will claim this is the market baking in a Trump victory. If anything goes down he'll say that's on Komrade Kamala. (Or whatever nickname he's landed on today.)
  16. I don't think he pulled out. He's just working the refs.
  17. Some better photos in this follow-up article... It looks like there are (at least five) "Priority" channels in both the East arriving Immigration Hall and the West arriving Immigration hall. https://loyaltylobby.com/2024/08/26/update-bangkok-suvarnabhumi-airport-first-business-class-arrivals-fast-track-is-back-for-now/ There is some indication on the signage re: eligibility. Nothing in the photos that reference Class of Service but I assume they need to add those back? Maybe they have temporary signage for J & F? Airlines may hand out some information on-board pre-arrival noting the location of these Halls and Priority Lanes.
  18. In 2003, China’s Minister of Railways, Liu Zhijun, took charge of plans to build seventy-five hundred miles of high-speed railway—more than could be found in the rest of the world combined. To complete the first route by 2008, Minister Liu, whose ambition and flamboyance earned him the nickname Great Leap Liu, drove his crews and engineers to work in shifts around the clock, laying track, revising blueprints, and boring tunnels. “To achieve a great leap,” he liked to say, “a generation must be sacrificed.” (Some colleagues called him Lunatic Liu.) https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/10/22/boss-rail In April 2013, Liu was arrested on corruption charges for taking over 64 million yuan in bribes and abusing his power as Minister of Railways. He was convicted and received a death sentence with reprieve in July 2013. On 14 December 2015, Liu Zhijun's sentence was statutorily commuted to life imprisonment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Zhijun
  19. Is RtkAudUService64.exe enabled at Start up? If so maybe disable it?
  20. A good side by side. Skeevy, cringey weird JD Vance vs Real guy. JD gives off serial killer vibes.
  21. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxNAdilyqow Gawd, what a whiney little idiot. Maybe he could advocate for Brain Worm victims in the next Trump administration.
  22. He wasn't weird at all trying to order donuts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDvkt2VkArg He has zero self-awareness, and can't seem to establish a connection with non-weird normal people. I think Mamaw dropped him on his head more than once.
  23. Well, it seems like the protests were, for the most part, peaceful. And the Chicago Police Department seemed to have things well in control. Not much of a "bombshell". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpJNdwxpICc
  24. Conventions are held every four years. So comments like this reflect poorly on you.
  25. Must be a short-sighted "vision", it's well into August. This Digital Wallet is deader than RFK Jr's. pet bear. Just bury it already, or drop it off in Lumpini Park.
