Happy girls make you happy. It's simple. 

And I imagine the guys getting freebies would be howling if their employees were stealing from them.

Since there are some trump fans here, I wonder if any of them could give excuses account for trump's behavior.

 

Those of us who think trump is a self-serving, evil, ignorant, treasonous clown are told we have something called TDS, but the real TDS seems to me to be an affliction of people who pretzel bend to rationalize his criminality.

 

So, without further adieu...

 

1) Why did trump call his goobers to come to DC on 6 January, Tweeting "It'll be WILD!"? The certification of the election is pro forma; the States already did the accounting. What is "the right thing" that trump expected VP Pence to do, since the actual "right thing", according to the law and Constitution, is merely to rubber stamp what the 50 States already certified?

He likes attention?

2) Why did trump tell his gathered goobers to march to the Capitol? What did he mean by "You have to fight like hell if you want your country back"? What sort of fighting was required when inside the Capitol it was merely that pro forma certification of the election?

You (like all leftists) forgot the peacefully and patriotically part.

3) Why did trump demand GA SecState Raffensperger "just find me...11,780 votes", when Raffensperger told trump there was no evidence of fraud nor unaccounted for votes? The answer here is rather obvious, but I would be interested in hearing the excuse.

Because he thought he had won, and thought the votes were there. He told him to find votes that he thought were, not make new ones.

4) Why did trump sign on to the fake elector scheme, when actual electors had already been selected by the legitimate voting process? When trump's appointed tech czar told trump "This was the most secure and fair election in US history", why did trump fire him?

Because he thought he had won, and thought the votes were there.

5) Why did trump steal highly classified documents (with TS, SCI, SAP, Codeword, HCS and RD classifications) and bring the docs to his country club? What does a wedding planner need with that material? (Note: As a former member of the clandestine services, I carried a TS/SCI clearance and had classification authority. I know the system quite well as well as the declassification process. Neither trump nor any POTUS can "declassify with his mind"; there is a paper trail signed off by relevant agency chiefs and then finally signed off by the White House Counsel. That was not done. Oh...and even POTUSs do not have a security clearance; their election allows them the privilege of seeing classified material while POTUS. Once their term is done, they have zero clearance, and mere possession of classified documents is a crime, especially if it is willful. Biden and Pence's possession of much lower classified material was not willful, and both men cooperated fully with the FBI to gather and remove everything. trump, OTOH, lied and obstructed. As for the docs, HCS is Human Clandestine Sources and rarely, if ever does any POTUS see that, as it reveals identities of clandestine assets. trump's theft of HCS docs puts both individual assets and their families, as well as national security, at risk. It also discourages potential future assets from cooperating, as they see a reckless and cavalier POTUS could cause their identities to be revealed. Finally, documents classified RD, or Restricted Data, can ONLY be declassified by the Dept of Energy, as such material relates to nuclear matters and secrets. The only possible explanation for trump to steal and keep such documents is he planned to monetize them. Certainly putin and Xi would pay well to learn the identities of any penetrations of their government or military.

Why did Biden steal documents and keep them for eighteen years, give his son access to them and then not give them back until they went after Trump?

Why did Hillary get a pass for destroying all the subpoenaed emails and destroy the devices?

Bonus question: If some 140+ Republican members of the House decided not to sign off on the certification of Biden's landslide victory, why were they all so quick to accept their own victories in the same election on the same ballots?

More Trump votes would only have meant more votes for them.

So...what are the excuses?

I think Trump was, and if reelected will be better than for the country than Biden, at least as far as the things I care about go, so I will support is. 

Biden is a proven liar and cheat and he and his entire family have gotten rich selling (at least) the perception of access yet you don't seem to give a whit about that. I think all you care about is moving the country further left.

This is Israel's problem they cannot finish Hamas, all they are doing is being the best recruiting sergeant for Hamas by all their indiscriminate killing of civilians, also they are losing the PR war.

 

Biden as the biggest benefactor of Aipac funds ever, knows where his breads buttered, but it is not helping his re-election. 

 

Hamas keeps the hostages and Israel keeps up the aggression and the court of public opinion sees Israel for what it is, the aggressors and baby killers.

 

In my opinion Hamas knows they have committed war crimes and has nothing to lose, same applies to the Palestinian people.

I doubt all the Palestinian people have committed war crimes, but I'll agree with you that many have.

I'm not so sure on this one.

I vaguely recall years ago...I renewed my passport.

Subsequently attended bank to get some green.

No good. The bank insisted they update their records (passport details. Guess pp # was main one) 

Then did the transition.

 

OP, don't think you will have any issue but suggest talk with bank directly 

I think the passport is a much different issue, in that is identification. And (at least in the US) it is not just renewed, a new passport with a new number is issued. 

When I retired I had personal accounts with Kasikorn, Bangkok and Krunsri and have not had any issues with any of them, and I have since open new accounts at Kasikorn and Krunsri without a work permit.

I doubt it. There is never any negative interaction beteeen me and the principal. The only thing I could think of is that I'm pretty easy going and slow and the person cutting in is typically rushed and erratic, so the principal may think I'm Ok with waiting while the other person is served.

Well, if you let people cut in, people cut in.

I'm as much part of this war as you or anybody else is for what it's worth.

The war is between Israel and the Palestinians, nobody else, the fact that millions around the world can now watch all of it unfold via the internet is the Israeli problem. less and less people are believing their B/S and it is hurting them and their primary backers the US.

What is this lie based on?

If that's the case, I suspect they don't want it getting out that he was "catch and release(d)".

 

Doesn't bode well for liberal policy makers.

 

BTW, being an old Chicago boy myself, there's a reason they called Belushi's character in The Blues Brothers "Joliet Jake".

 

Seemed like a nice guy: "He was charged with  aggravated discharge of a weapon, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated assault, reckless discharge of a firearm and obstructing a peace officer.

But he was released after posting $10,000 of a $100,000 bond in March 10 2023, according to court documents seen by WGN9, and was due back in court February 1. 

He was also imprisoned aged 19 and charged with two counts of robbery, two counts of theft and one charge of unlawful possession of cannabis."

Is DeSantis not allowed to try again in the event of Trump being eliminated? Election's a long way off yet.

No doubt the Biden Administration will drum up some charger against DeSantis if that happens.

I was being polite, as in F/O if you want the hostages back get out of Gaza, Hamas are no doubt thinking if they give up the hostages for some humanitarian relief nothing changes and it will be back to mowing the lawn yet again in a few years time.

 

This is not about Hamas or the hostages, it is about public opinion against Israel and the US.

No, you were not being polite, you were just lying. It is clear you want Hamas to continue holding the hostages.

Thank you for that

Unless you really read the label well ,  you would never know they were pastry dough. I will get some later today. 

So many different things you can make with them.

Wife found fillo dough for me on Shopee

It comes all rolled up, without unrolling it , I cut five inches and the rest I use  vacuumed food saver to seal it and freeze it for future use. 

when you roll out the section you cut you get strips 5" wide and I would say 12" long,

You only need two or three of those sheets  of fillo dough . (usually there are about a dozen very think sheets)

you can either spray olive oil on them or brush melted butter, 

you place what ever filling you want at one end and then you start folding, corner to corner, Like folding a flag. 

Which is why you only need 2-3 layer strips. because by the time you are done folding you have several layers. 

The picture below is not mine, I could not readily find one of mine (just to picture what I mean)

 

Makro has them as well. They make nice sausage rolls too.

Exactly. Hamas would have to be insane to agree to it. IMO the hostages are the only thing preventing the israelis going full on monster.

 

However, considering the statements earlier on, it's a considerable backdown for the israelis to even suggest a lengthy pause- I guess the gathering storm of world opposition must be worrying for them.

 

BTW, I don't think it's a serious offer, they must know that it's unlikely for Hamas to agree, so they can then say "look there, it's Hamas refusing a pause, aren't they just terrible people?". I don't think that by now, many will accept that at face value.

NB, the israelis don't seem to have offered to allow more aid in, so even if a pause is in effect, many Gazans will likely die of hunger, disease and cold.

Indeed.  Hamas needs to keep every hostage until Israel surrenders, yes? 

Because shooter was black was (apparently) charged and released for attempting to shoot a woman multiple time about a year ago. 

The press in the US does not care much about black-on-black crime.
