Nice try. I don't back Trump, I would back whoever the GOP nominee was. Personally I would have preferred someone else, but you can't always get what you want. Not backing Putin or his war either. Just want it to end, and therefore end the possibility of it escalating into a global conflict. Is that really so hard to understand, or has the T.D.S. gotten such a hold of you that logic and reason make no impact?

Zelensky Challenges Trump on War Plans, Decries Weapons Delays
Hanaguma replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I have no interest in giving aid and comfort to anyone. What I do want is the conflict to end before it escalates into something out of control and potentially catastrophic. Ukraine cannot win without NATO support in the form of footsoldiers and direct air power involvement. Yet that would give Russia the excuse to escalate the choice and quantity of weapons used. Tell me, which city in the UK or Europe would YOU be willing to throw into a nuclear fire for the chance to liberate the occupied parts of Ukraine? It isn't a gamble that is worth taking IMHO. That is why I say cut a deal and end it. -
Zelensky Challenges Trump on War Plans, Decries Weapons Delays

I love the typical "if you don't agree with the war you must be Putin's puppy" logic that is displayed here so often. It is laughably simplistic. TBH, if Putin keeled over dead tomorrow that would be fine with me. I would only worry about who would succeed him. As for our green t-shirted little friend, he has a choice. Cut a deal or watch more of his people die. He isn't going to get the land back. So save your faux outrage. -

Zelensky needs to STFU, stop barging in on other peoples' parties, and cut a deal to end the war. Otherwise he will run out of men to feed into the NATO sponsored meatgrinder. Other posters here have been quite honest about the fact that Ukraine is being used to degrade Russia's warfighting capacity. What those posters do NOT say is that they are quite content to use Ukranian lives to accomplish that goal. -
Which of those are actually "rights", which are not, and which are actually so threatened? Like Trump, I did not write it. From my brief look at the general principles, some are good and some are silly. The abortion one in particular- did you not hear Trump's answer at the debate? He has no interest in the federal government being involved at all. I guess the Democrats are trying to make it the "Russia Russia Russia" talking point for this campaign.

Not according to the Treasury Department homepage... https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-deficit/#us-deficit-by-year Trump's total for 2017-19 was 2.43 trillion. Biden from 2022-23 was 3.08 trillion. Plus this year is 1.2 trillion and counting. He is still burning through money at a stupid rate. Might hit 2 trillion for the year in 2024.

The scary thing is that Biden even drags the teleprompter to private fundraisers, held in private homes. He has it set up literally in the living room of a rich donor and then reads it to those attending. Afterwards, takes off without interacting with or talking to the attendees. I think a lot of the donor class are going to stay on the sidelines.

"Your democracy" isn't under threat. Even if the US WAS a democracy, which it isn't. I mean seriously, what do you think that Trump can de exactly to hurt the Republic? He already had 4 years in office, did nothing to alter the Constitution, and left office for Biden to be inaugurated. Where is the threat?

I guess Joe had the font size on the teleprompter increased. No thanks to President Trump for cajoling and shaming many NATO countries into fulfilling their 2% defence obligations? How ungrateful. Supporting democracy is a fine idea, but I wonder why NATO is supporting Ukraine?

Fifth Congressional Democrat Publicly Calls for Biden to Step Down
Hanaguma replied to Social Media's topic in World News
You must be joking. I saw her gaslighting Biden in the 2020 Democratic primary debates, also getting owned by Tulsi Gabbard. And also saw her campaign very quickly immolate before the caucuses and primaries even began. She was thoroughly and comprehensively rejected by the whole of the Democratic Party at that time. She will get the money though. And she is almost half black, which counts for a lot to the Dems. Although a genuine African American would be better. -
I have a feeling this is easy, but being Thailand.... My bank account at Bangkok Bank is at a branch in Chiang Mai. But I will be spending most of my time in Chonburi- have a condo there etc. Is it possible to have my account transferred to a branch nearer to my home base in Chonburi? What will this entail and will it be a major pain in the kaziff? Thanks for all answers and advice!

Fifth Congressional Democrat Publicly Calls for Biden to Step Down
Hanaguma replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Yeah, sure there are. Anyway, any reaction to what I posted that was actually on topic? It seems that a lot of the prospective candidates to replace Joe this year are falling back in line. A couple of reasons may be; a/ they don't want to take the chance of losing to The Donald and torpedoing their chances going forward b/ if Joe runs and loses, that makes the 2028 election wide open for them c/ they won't get the money in Joe's election warchest and will have to start fundraising again -

Glad you remember it. A lot of media kerfuffle and nothing more. For the average American, they were good years. Low inflation, low unemployment (especially for minorities) etc. Nobody will remember the political scandals or what world leaders thought when they vote this year. They will remember the two dollar gas and the 3% mortgage and want them back. -
Fifth Congressional Democrat Publicly Calls for Biden to Step Down

You forget that pre-Covid, the Trump years were anything but chaos. The world was largely at peace, the economy was ticking along, inflation was low, real strides were make in prison reform, etc. Now you can (and many will) argue as to exactly where the credit goes for those things, and that is fair. But they are truths regardless. -

Interesting twist these days- it seems that a lot of the prospective candidates to replace Joe this year are falling back in line. A couple of reasons may be; a/ they don't want to take the chance of losing to The Donald and torpedoing their chances going forward b/ if Joe runs and loses, that makes the 2028 election wide open for them c/ they won't get the money in Joe's election warchest and will have to start fundraising again They may be behind Kamala taking the top slot also for the above reasons. She runs and loses, and 2028 is wide open. There are a lot of Democratic governors waiting in the wings for their shot, and they are young enough to wait 4 years. So much for Trump being such a threat to democracy, I guess.
