Fetterman!

Trump will now pee on his own parade by gloating, whereas were he to simply let Biden and the Democrats stew, they would completely collapse.

We now live with a presidential race where George W. Bush looks sagacious and Bill Clinton appears sexually restrained. Good work JB and DJT.

My dream is John Fetterman My nightmare is Gavin Newsom

Dollar up on the debate. Hope this holds until next Wednesday, when my SSA is due.

Dump Biden. Nominate Fetterman. And you've got my vote.

Fetterman. If the Democrats nominate Fetterman, by God, I'll vote for him.

He's certainly done his share. I agree. But the other guy will turn on you, just like he did last time. I'm at the stage, where I think the country is falling apart and there's nothing anybody can do anymore. I just want my SSA deposit, my TIAA annuity, and hope neither Trump or Biden devalues the dollar anymore than they already have. There is no coming back from the past 8 years. Actually make that the past 24 years.

Sure, Trump's a liar. No doubt. But so is Biden. If they did as you suggest, the entire debate would consist of a single 90 minute buzzerthon.

Just Scarborough? The entire MSM and Democratic media complex has turned on a dime and now want Biden out. And they're all out there with the very same words. No nuance whatsoever. The Paris mob in 1789 weren't this bloodthirsty for their leader.

East Palestine Ohio and Maui would strongly disagree with his qualifications

DeSantis not only would have won in a landslide who would have carried overwhelming majorities in the senate and house with him. Even if Trump ekes out a win, and if he wins it will be by eking it out, he will have a reverse coat tails effect. Anyway, RFKjr is a clear cut alternative to the two old men, either of whom will likely not live through their term.

Newsom with the slicked back hair looks like someone selling red sports cars to men going through a mid life crisis.

Of all the places I mentioned Don Wai is the most likely to see Westerners. It's sort of semi-Touristy. The other place is Central Pinklao, where I last saw another American. It was a woman standing in line at the AIS store. That was so long ago, I can't even remember how long. I know there must be other Westerners going into Central Pinklao's Tops, because they keep beating me to the Old El Paso salsa imported from the US. Maybe it's Thais, but I'd bet it's another American

How long ago? It used to be that some would show up after going to Nakhon Pathom Immigration near Wat Rai KhIng. I used to go there when I worked at Mahidol, but I now go to Chaengwattana. I was told that the old Immigration office has now moved out somewhere, I think, near Phutthamonthon 8. Don't know, for sure.

I'm in the far Western suburbs. I walk around my area a lot, go to the local Foodland, Gourmet Market, and Taling Chan post office on a regular basis. I never see another Westerner in those places. Never. Go to Central Pinklao or the Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat Hospital regularly and never see any there either. Go into Petcharat Pharmacy near Siriraj Hospital and they are always stunned to see me there because no other Westerner comes in. Same thing for Thonburi Market, Don Wai Market, and my trips to the banks.

I live in a part of Bangkok where I may not see another Westerner for six months or so. I've been here since 2010. The encounters I have with Thai people haven't changed at all. In fact, the more I learn to adapt, the better it gets, year after year.

We can only hope so, for the sake of the nation.

Would have been a much better election with those two. With what we have, I'll be voting RFKjr.

Yea, that's the change. Go back and look at that footage of him tripping up the steps to board planes. Even when he tripped, he had the agility and flexibility to get up. Now, he's stiff as a board and brittle as a peanut cluster.

Mahathir was 94 when last in charge of Malaysia and appeared as locked in as ever.

I'm a bit surprised that Biden did as poorly as he did. I thought he had the chance of embarrassing Trump. But clearly it was the other way around. Biden went into bluescreening mode way too many times for it to be considered a one off glitch. There is clearly something severely wrong with him. I'm guessing that with all the conditions the Dems required for the debate, they probably thought Trump would pass on it. So unless it was all a grand conspiracy to dump Biden, the fact is that Biden finally just broke down completely before the entire country. Does it matter? Neither one of these guys is worth spit. The bad news is that Trump will probably devalue my SSA going into Bangkok Bank. The good news is that the yearly SSA percentage increase could go and stay up around 8 percent per year.

Neil Kinnock. He absolutely had his memory intact then.

Biden isn't popular so much as Trump is unpopular. Had the Republicans nominated DeSantis, this race would be over now.

Be fair. Trump could have a heart attack, too
