Nothing makes me feel better about people using bankruptcy on a regular basis to stop paying loans and bills yet keep themselves rich

bankruptcy......................try again

Trumps a master at not paying off loans, 6 businesses so far that declared bankruptcy because they couldn’t pay their bills. How the Bankruptcy Laws Helped Donald Trump Stay Rich

Powerful piece by the editorial board of the New York Times detailing many of the cases against Trump including this latest Investigation Donald Trump Is Not Above the Law Mr. Trump’s actions as a public official, like no others since the Civil War, attacked the heart of our system of government. He used the power of his office to subvert the rule of law. If we hesitate to call those actions and their perpetrator criminal, then we are saying he is above the law and giving license to future presidents to do whatever they want. https://web.archive.org/web/20220826194000/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/26/opinion/trump-documents-jan-6-prosecute.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/26/opinion/trump-documents-jan-6-prosecute.html

Ukraine train system attacks may be war crimes, experts say While Russia claimed that it had targeted the train because it was carrying Ukrainian troops and equipment on Wednesday, an Associated Press reporter on the ground said there was no visible indication that Ukrainian troops were among the dead, who included children. If civilians were the target, experts said Thursday, the attack could be considered a war crime. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-crimes-government-and-politics-0abd99fd89a62042287341e88758d32f

I would say that depends on the circumstance and I am sure there can be context around it where it is used in a derogatory manner but generally I don't think it is. Not sure its used on a daily basis either, never heard my Thai wife or any of her friends say it despite most of them having children to foreign husbands

Both of the above and possibly to hide info damaging to him personally.

I agree with that, my daughter here in Thailand is British/Thai however the term referred to, "luk-krueng" for want of a better word, is not as far as I'm aware derogatory, not according to this thread anyway: https://aseannow.com/topic/746771-what-do-thai-people-think-about-luk-kreung/

The federal judge who bounced back this motion and appeared to join other legal experts in their bafflement over what specifically Trump was looking for gave Trump and his team till the 26th August to re submit....Oh well more B.S. from him

Good example of the concerns on who was able to make their way into Mar-a-lago The FBI has launched an investigation into a Russian-speaking Ukrainian immigrant named Inna Yashchyshyn, who allegedly posed as a member of the Rothschild banking family to gain access to former President Donald Trump's inner circle at Mar-a-Lago, according to reporting from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. The FBI investigation appears focused on whether Yashchyshyn was part of a broader criminal network that attempted to make inroads with politicians and businessmen, according to the report–investigators have reportedly obtained two fake “Anna de Rothschild” passports as part of the probe. https://web.archive.org/web/20220827005006/https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2022/08/26/russian-speaking-immigrant-allegedly-entered-mar-a-lago-using-fake-identity-met-with-trump-report-says/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2022/08/26/russian-speaking-immigrant-allegedly-entered-mar-a-lago-using-fake-identity-met-with-trump-report-says/

Yep and there's more than one "Safety of civilian witnesses"

Full Panic Mode!

Bucha set the stage for their ongoing mass crimes and murders of civilians

Maybe ask Trump why he put in a student loan Forgiveness program in 2020 Suspended payments count toward the Public Service Loan Forgiveness programs. If you are enrolled in the PSLF program, you will receive credit for a payment each month, even if you chose not to make one. That last bullet point is HUGE for those participating in the PSLF program. They are being credited with at least 18 months of payments (out of the 120 needed in the program) whether they made payments or not. https://www.debt.org/students/loan-forgiveness/

Whataboutery....lol Would you care to explain how Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven, Vern Buchanan had over $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven, Markwayne Mullin had over $1.4 million in PPP loans forgiven, Kevin Hern had over $1 million in PPP loans forgiven, Mike Kelly had $987,237 in PPP loans forgiven and Matt Gaetz had $482,321 in PPP loans forgiven. Yet they hypocritically are some of the biggest and outspoken critics of this proposal by Biden?

Whitehouse trolling some of the Hypocrites.............. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven. Greene: "For our government just to say ok your debt is completely forgiven.. it’s completely unfair" Congressman Vern Buchanan had over $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven. Buchanan "Biden’s reckless, unilateral student loan giveaway is unfair to the 87 percent of Americans without student loan debt and those who played by the rules." Congressman Markwayne Mullin had over $1.4 million in PPP loans forgiven. Mullin "We do not need farmers and ranchers, small business owners, and teachers in Oklahoma paying the debts of Ivy League lawyers and doctors across the U.S." Congressman Kevin Hern had over $1 million in PPP loans forgiven. Hern "To recap, in the last two weeks, the "Party of the People" has supercharged the IRS to go after working-class Americans, raised their taxes, and forced them to pay for other people's college degrees." Congressman Mike Kelly had $987,237 in PPP loans forgiven. Kelly "Asking plumbers and carpenters to pay off the loans of Wall Street advisors and lawyers isn’t just unfair. It’s also bad policy." Congressman Matt Gaetz had $482,321 in PPP loans forgiven. Gaetz "Everyone knows that in a $60 Billion+ European land war, it's always the last $3 Billion that kicks in the door"

Republicans are in a panic about the student loan forgiveness plan because 43 million people directly benefit, and their parents, spouses, and children all indirectly benefit as well. Their attacks on it only makes it worse for them, but they have nothing else in their playbook. ????

"Enacted in 1978 following President Richard Nixon's resignation, the President Records Act established presidential records are the property of the U.S. government that must be preserved and not the president's private property. During a presidency, the incumbent president has responsibility over the "custody, control and access to presidential records," according to a 2019 report from the Congressional Research Service. But after a presidency, that responsibility moves to the archivist of the U.S., who is required under law to make the former president's documents available to the public "as rapidly and as completely as possible." At the end of an administration, the documents must be turned over to the National Archives." Beside which the warrant statutes were to do with the espionage act, conceal documents in order to obstruct a government investigations, and the federal law that prohibits the unlawful removal of government documents more generally.

Ukraine war: Russia railway station strike kills 22, injures dozens A Russian rocket strike on a Ukrainian train station has killed 22 people, Ukraine says, on the day marking six months since Moscow's invasion began. It says five of the victims of the attack in the eastern town of Chaplyne burnt to death in a vehicle. An 11-year-old boy also was killed. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the strike in the middle of a UN Security Council meeting. He said about 50 people were injured. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62666188

1) DOJ obtained three passports (two expired, not one, as Trump said) and alerted Trump lawyers 2) They were recovered by a filter team, which weeds out privileged info. 3) Trump publicized this after DOJ offered them back https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1559324841681063936

Attorney/Client Privilege would indeed be grounds for him to ask for a special master but it was pointed out at the beginning of this thread already that this should have been asked for 2 weeks ago. Regardless now he has asked for it the motion was batted back to him by the judge.

Nobody denied they had them, provide a link to this fake news?

Already covered here: The letter also shows that in the interim, DOJ asked President Joe Biden to authorize NARA to provide the records to investigators despite an effort by Trump to claim executive privilege over the records. Wall indicated she had rejected Trump’s claim because of the significance of the documents to national security. “NARA informed the Department of Justice about that discovery, which prompted the Department to ask the President to request that NARA provide the FBI with access to the boxes at issue so that the FBI and others in the Intelligence Community could examine them,” Wall wrote. Biden, according to Wall, then delegated the privilege decision to her, in consultation with the Justice Department. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/23/national-archives-letter-trump-security-00053250

Since when did the FBI deny they had his passports? They were the ones that in fact notified him they had them and they could be collected, he then went onto make accusations after being notified.

Of course this is true, Bangla Road nightlife forms a small part of the tourist industry in Phuket and its surrounding Islands
