  1. Nah, his diapers are lined with platinum and aluminum. Covers up all embarrassing wafts. Being rich has its privileges!
  2. More like the pungent aroma of bullsh!t overpowering the smell of the roses.
  3. Ah, the uninformed paranoia of the belligerently ignorant. Nice to see it on full display.
  4. Thank you for proving my point. There is no tax on wealth. And if Harris tries to introduce one, it will kill a large part of the economy. But she doesnt probably understand that, since she has been safely attached to the government teat for most of her adult life.
  5. Well, that is true, I must admit. Beautiful place 4 months of the year, none better. But terribly boring and full of generally dull folks. As for being on a Thai forum, I own property in Thailand and will probably be retiring there, at least on a part time basis, in the next year or three.
  6. I do? Really... you may have me confused with someone else.
  7. Keep shifting. You are now talking about wealth, not income. AFAIK, there is no wealth tax.
  8. Now you are shifting the goalposts. At first, you said that Musk didn't pay his fair share. Then, you refused to define what his 'fair share' would be. Now, you are discussing Tesla a publicly traded company in which Musk is a minority shareholder. Stop being so slippery.
  9. Here is a link from CNN to how much he paid in taxes. What evidence do you have of his cheating? Or is he actually following the law as it is written. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/10/investing/elon-musk-tesla-zero-tax-bill/index.html
  10. Nope. Your assertion, your burden of proof. AFAIK, he paid about $11 billion in federal tax in 2022.
  11. Not really. We have a parliamentary system that is similar to the EC. In our last election, for example, the Conservative party won the popular vote. But, the Liberal party won more seats in parliament, so they got the opportunity to form the government. It encourages parties to be mindful of all regions of the country rather than concentrate support in small areas. I wasn't happy with the result, but I recognize the winner and believe in the system.
  12. Cool. And how much is Musk's "fair share"?
  13. Which is fine, but really isn't the huge issue you are making it out to be. Certainly nothing to do with Russia or any kind of threat to democracy. If California decided to do the same, Trump would benefit to the tune of at least 10 EC votes.
  14. So... Trump, as well as the state governor, both want Nebraska to be in line with about 48 other states in how they allocate their electoral college votes. And this is bad why?
  15. Zero fact checks on Harris' lies. "Fine people on both sides" "Project 2025" "Trump wants a federal abortion ban", and so on.
  16. I dont care who you think he hates or not. To me, he is a far bigger supporter of Jews than any of the Democrats. And there is also past performance to look at . The US under Trump was a good place- low inflation, low unemployment, etc. Under harris and Biden? Not so good. That is why the Democrats are avoiding issues like inflation and the economy.
  17. Fox News is a balance to CNN. They are at least unashamedly right leaning. CNN tries to keep the myth alive that they are unbiased. The difference to MSNBC is that MS is almost purely an opinion station. Fox News is similar to CNN in that it has both opinion/commentary/analysis programming and actual news.
  18. No evidence for the dog story. More for taking the wild fowl from the parks. And even more for the damage to the community caused by the Biden-Harris administration settling 15-20,000 migrants in such a small community. That is the real story.
  19. The pass rate for the bar at that time in California was about 50%. So, by failing, she was dumber than half the applicants- she was in the lower half of lawyers. Hardly a genius. And certainly not stable. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/31/trump-claim-kamala-harris-did-not-pass-bar-exam/74623417007/
  20. Yeah, such a high IQ.... as evidenced by needing two tries to pass the bar in California, and by her elegant command of the English language...
  21. How about a third debate, this one on Fox News, or perhaps using the Wall Street Journal and their writers? I mean, there was already one debate with Harris on a blatantly partisan network with obviously biased moderators. IF Harris were confident, she would return the favour and agree to debate on a Trump-friendly network. After all, she has the better ideas, right? So let her debate with Brett Baier and Martha MacCallum as the mods.
  22. If you are interested, here is the Trump position on abortion, as taken from his website; We proudly stand for families and Life. We believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied Life or Liberty without Due Process, and that the States are, therefore, free to pass Laws protecting those Rights. After 51 years, because of us, that power has been given to the States and to a vote of the People. We will oppose Late Term Abortion, while supporting mothers and policies that advance Prenatal Care, access to Birth Control, and IVF (fertility treatments).
  23. No, they havent. Both are in favour of each state deciding for itself. Plus, I am still waiting to hear what Harris/Walz think is appropriate. All they do is spout bromides and euphemisms. At what point do THEY think abortion should not be allowed? Keeping in mind the usual exceptions (rape, incest, possible death of the mother). The law in Georgia, from what I read, had nothing to do with these two sad situations. But perhaps the perception of the law, as spread by the corporate media, contributed to their deaths.
  24. Exactly right. The democrats concnetrate on the irrelevant details and ignore the larger issue. Something over a million migrants have either entered the US under the Bideb-Harris expansion of theTemporary Protected Status program, or are in the pipeline to come. Interestingly, more than half are Venezuelan.
