  1. When people cry out for, even demand, actions to be taken that are illegal, what can you say when you become the victim? That you know your rights? That you will sue the government? That "it ain't fair"? Once started, that train is hard to stop.
  2. McCarthy was against all communists but focused on Russia. He destroyed many careers. It seems now McCarthyism had returned but now it's against everybody who is not in a cult.
  3. They could be terrorists. We will never know for sure because no court declared them as such after seeing all the evidence. No judge or jury found them guilty.
  4. Several presidents have used an autopen. It isn't illegal. However, any president who magically declassifies documents by just saying, "I hereby declare you declassified!" Is in trouble.
  5. A relative got malaria in the brain after visiting Koh Samet. She went insane for a while and was sectioned by her husband until the doctors figured out what was wrong. This is a tropical country. Expecting it to be similar to the west, can lead to trouble. Mosquito repellent is better than nothing.
  6. Asking her to get off so that you can drive it is one thing. Teling her to get off when you aren't about to drive it is something else. Guys forget that they might be beautiful but they punch like men. Better to smile and speak politely.
  7. People dying in prison cells. Hope this isn't a trend.
  8. It isn't dying I fear, it is excruciating pain for weeks or months before dying.
  9. I can't see Clacton voting for him if he is always traveling and never meeting voters in his constituency.
  10. I missed something. When did Congress declare war on anyone? Using a law illegally is opening the door to other illegal actions. What next? Kicking out those of German descent because they were against America in WWII?
  11. If they target 6,500 new teachers, and it takes 4 years to train a teacher, we can't expect to see them in classes before 2029 (not counting those already in teacher training). It is a good idea but will take time. The way people are talking about it makes it look like they expect more teachers this year.
  12. Not as important as closing down pro American radio is what will rise from the ashes? Will it be just pro Trump radio? Or pro Putin radio?
  13. This is a disaster for Portugal. Invaded by rich legal immigrants? With eggs at roughly $3.20, Portugal needs a leader who is able to handle the problem.
  14. Well, who is this mysterious contractor? Maybe when it comes to building the nuclear power plant they keep discussing, this company will get the job.
  15. I feel so confident that Alex Berenson is the guy who tells it like it is. "People started getting sick in Wuhan in December 2019. Or was it November? Maybe even October?" Yeah this is how to tell facts.
  16. Why are people sniping at each other all the time? NASA pays others to make its spacecraft. If they don't work, like Boeing, they use someone else's
  17. America must stop calling itself the world's policeman and the greatest country (27th in the world for education, for instance). That will shut people up.
  18. Americans have the right to protest. Burning Teslas is not the way.
  19. This thing about executing children - not considered old enough to drink beer but considered an adult for their lack of adult self control?
  20. Cancelling planes is serious for any country that makes a lot of income from military equipment. If other countries drop orders for a broader range of military equipment this could become worrying. After all, eggs are not a large portion of the export economy.
  21. I am not sure you can hate someone for what they write anonymously on AN. Once you understand they have no real life and expouse their venom here as an escape from their unhappy lives then it becomes easier to let go, block them and get on with life
  22. Capitalism is about competing efficiently. American products can't compete with countries with lower labor costs.
  23. Perhaps Rubio could next look at a certain country that keeps people in an offshore prison where they have not been charged, have no Constitutional rights; no right to trial, no right to a lawyer. Then talk about human rights.
  24. She doesn't know who attacked her. The two males haven't confessed. Now everyone needs to wait for the DNA results before blaming anyone.
  25. Any country that is so involved in foreign trade will find you cannot eat AI.
