In a Russia poll Trump would be number one … because he’s just like one of them. A corrupt criminal who wants to turn the US into a dictatorship.

Another poorly written article. The victim sought help from her brother? She did this after using the fire to burn through the rope around her wrist? Luckily she has fireproof wrists … don’t we all. So what was her brother doing? Was he tied up also? Or was he standing back, smoking a cigarette, as his sister burns in a field? A mystery, wrapped in an enigma.

They should allow him to leave Thailand, rather than sending him to Russia, where he will be jailed or sent to the front in Ukraine. It is an illegal war, started by a psycho. So for Thailand to send him back is a human rights violation.

Many times in schools, but gave that up as an adult. Those involved in self defence and close protection try to avoid any confrontation, for good reason. Even if you are defending yourself if you hit or shove someone and they crack their head on the pavement, they could die, and you are in a whole world of trouble. All the self defence training in the world can’t protect you from a knife wound, so although it can help it is no guarantee. I would focus on confrontation avoidance. If a place doesn’t feel right, get away fast. You don’t want to be the toughest guy in the graveyard.

I wonder why the husband left her? Probably because she kept a "dirty hoose"!

Yes, I know better now. My only advice to anyone is never loan money to anyone.

The man in question had a new job as a retail director, so he was well compensated. I only got my money back when I contacted his CEO privately ... I'm afraid on this occasion he thought he'd found a soft touch. I hadn't seen him for 10 years so the fact that he approached me probably meant that he'd already gone through a steady supply of suckers.

That makes sense. My loan days are over. Never again.

I’m impressed by your perseverance. I didn’t care about the money, I was more enraged by his deceit. If he had called me and said it might take a year or two, I would have been fine - but when he cut communication I realised he was duping me from the beginning.

I have done something similar, with an ex work colleague, who borrowed money that he promised to pay back in 6 weeks, then 3 months, then never heard from him, and he wouldn’t respond to my emails. When I finally reached him (long story) he accused me of harassing him! I’m an obstinate character, so long story, I got my money back. I was very aware that it is unwise to lend money, but I went ahead anyway. I learned a valuable lesson.

Couldn’t we say the same thing about the GOP, who are attempting to put a treasonous insurrectionist into the White House?

Two old guys swapping punches outside a cafe in Dumaguette over an issue that didn't involve them. A youngish American guy started a Dive Centre and needed funds for its expansion. Apparently another American retiree (ex Cop) didn't want to invest and (in the opinion of the young guy) tried to put off others from investing. So the young guy was hacked off with him, and bad mouthed him, and his Filipina fiancé. So the young guy's business partner (an old American guy) and the ex Cop's American future brother in law, had a shouting match that turned into handbags at dawn. Reminds me of an episode of that American comedy classic "Soap". Moral of the story ... avoid Dumaguette and American ex pats.

I've no idea. I don't know how easy it would be to manoeuvre Biden out of the race. But I don't think a Trump win is a foregone conclusion ... there's a long way to go.

That wouldn’t surprise me in the least. The St Petersburg troll farm used to be under the control of Prigozhin, but I’d guess it’s now FSB or GRU. It will be very active for the 2024 election.

Losers and suckers.

TDS is what fools shout when they are losing the argument. Go ahead man, vote for the Donald, he needs you. Send him some dollars, he needs you for that too. And make a “we are Q” sign for the inauguration.

You don’t deny that he called fallen soldiers losers and suckers? What an insult to anyone who is currently serving or has ever served. And let’s just address the “two wars” fallacy. The war in Ukraine was started by Russia in 2014, with the illegal invasion of Crimea. 2022 was a continuation of that war. A war started by Trump’s boss, Putin. No US forces are involved in that war. The war in Gaza was triggered by the slaughter of innocents in Southern Israel on 7 October 2023. Nothing to do with the US. And there are no US forces in Gaza or Israel. The only involvement of allies, including the US, is the protection of the Red Sea, and an effort to avoid escalation. Biden didn’t start any of them. If being President when bad things happens means you are to blame then Trump is to blame for Covid and shutdowns? Even I wouldn’t go that far.

And you support a former Commander in Chief who thinks his military are losers and suckers. Good job.

Are you one of Trump’s losers and suckers? He needs you man.

The idiocy of Trump supporters on display.

So you are desperate to vote for a guy like Trump, who refused to visit a US military cemetery in Europe because he didn't want to honour "losers and suckers"? You get what you deserve.

He did such a great job he lost the following election? And then lied about losing.

Yes. Trump is a disaster for the world. That’s the point.

And he never noticed the legal case against Trump for raping a teenager at an Epstein party? If anyone doubts that, I’d refer to them to a book by Barry Levine, called The Spider.

Hur is a conservative appointment, who knew exactly what he was doing. He couldn’t charge Biden so he undermined him publicly. For what it’s worth, I don’t think anyone should be President at 80, but I’d rather have an embalmed Joe Biden in his casket as President than Donald J Trump … who is a danger to the world and the most corrupt of them all. That such a large % of the US public can’t see that is beyond my understanding.
