Even on CNN, in the aftermath of the press conference, all the anchors and hosts were talking about Biden's lack of mental acuity, very little about his non-prosecution or even the differences the special counsel outlined between Biden and Trump and their classified documents case. What makes it so damaging for Biden is that it reinforces and gives authority to what was already perceived as his main weakness.

It's intriguing watching this all play out. You have Trump and all his multiple indictments and they have turned out to be politically advantageous for him (DeSantis was ahead in the polling before the indictments, I think). And now you have Biden getting "cleared" and as a result of his press conference it has turned into a political calamity.

King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says
John Drake replied to webfact's topic in World News
Jimmy Carter was diagnosed and treated for brain cancer nine years ago. He announced he was going into hospice care a year ago. And he's still living. Don't know what Charles' cancer is, but getting an extra decade of life seems worth it to me. -
I would hate to live in a Chinese dominated condo (actually, I would dislike being in any condo). Seeing Chinese tourists troop in by the hundreds in a hotel-by-any-other-name condo would be my worst nightmare. You'd be stuck there.

All Thailand could think about was how much timber, chicken, durian, and pork it was going to export to China. It never factored in that China would dump a tsunami of cheap manufactured goods on Thailand. Exporting raw goods while receiving manufactured goods in return is what happens with colonies.

He should cancel the lease. I thought all standard Thai leases had a two month warning to cancel, even if the lease was for a longer period. I know mine does, and I've been in the same house for 14 years. -

MFP spent all its initial time in opposition purging and "purifying" itself. Whatever momentum it had dissipated in looking for enemies among its own members. -
Do you miss the food from the old country?
John Drake replied to Chris Daley's topic in Western Food in Thailand
No, what he put up had a distinctive shape of something I used to see regularly in German bakeries. They've probably changed the name, now, because it was a racially derogatory term. He would have been safer putting up something like Bienenstich, which is actually much, much better. -
