And yet his base accepts this...or ignores it.  Boggles my mind.

New tax plan at full speed ahead, immigration finally taken seriously, stock market humming along nicely. All the reasons Trump is in office. Copy and paste all the hate filled rants you like, won't change things one little bit.

Something I never understood is why most folks don't separate bulls from heifers that are too young for breeding. Where I used to be up north when the rice was harvested the cattle from the entire soi were let loose to open range feed.

Seems like every home made remedy in Thailand starts with lao kao. 3-4 shots of that and it's time for a nap.

with cows they must drink loads of water in a day? just guessing... if they do try and make the water suply clean and plentyfull, maybe add some EM to the water tanks and get some good gut health going, would/could help with growing out stats????  forum member: isaanaussie i would imagine could help or advise on this type of thing... or maybe google.... 

i would say dont under estimate the importance of good clean water for animals.... again just some thoughts.

all the best,

I see cattle drinking water wherever they free range during the day. Liver flukes are a big concern because of drinking standing water.

Ol' Trans is happy in Isaan and I don't speak Thai/Lao....But, I did not buy a big plot cos I knew it would be a constant drag taking care of it, l did not build a house anywhere near the outlaws and l didn't want to live in a crowded soi. I chose a place that had a road but nothing in front of the place except water. So for me it all worked out well, so far...

Sounds good, plan well thought out. Some folks thrive there and others don't, same as anywhere.

I have tried Isaan, as many others before me, I hastily bought land 6 rai, my idea by the way. I thought the region was bad ass. Paid 460k bht for 7 rai near a main road, 20 minutes away from major stores. Being a part timer I never picked up the lingo 100% which can possibly account for my restlessness there. Long story short we moved to a small seaside village to better educate the young one. Much happier being away from the family. Land down here is off the charts expensive but we found a small house, walking distance to beach. Well, if the dogs along the way don't eat you.

I feel there's nothing wrong with Isaan, good hard working people for the most part. But, I felt like I had worked too hard all my life to settle for that. Here my little one will grow up with a higher standard of expectation.

If you do settle in the sticks, make sure learning the language becomes a top priority. I've met a few foreigners in the north who don't have the money to relocate and are horribly unhappy there.

In any job you were in, if a fairly significant and powerful person repeatedly called your work crap, lies, fake, failing, corrupt, etc etc and in doing so was fake themselves and in breech of the constitution, you would more than likely not remain unbiased .   In fact you would not be blamed (by normal rational people) if you went all out as a journalist to make the life of your bully and abuser an absolute nightmare by doing all you could to report the truth surrounding the individual. The only thing US journalists (other than Fox and Breitbart) owe Donald Trump is an unswerving  and loyal dedication to bringing the SOB (presidentially used term) down.

Nothing new here, that's all they've been trying to do since the elections.  Their (News Media) main goal has to be to bring him down. If it's not about Trump, then it's some silly thing about the First Lady.

Looking around to get some weights in Ban Chang area or surrounding area. Nothing too serious. Trying not to pay top end money as The Sports Authority at Central Plaza will charge.

Wow, what a comeback! Blew me out of the water - I've got nothing.

I assume you were anticipating a hate filled rant. I'll leave that for you and the others.

What's the view akin to mine? That if a person makes it clear he has no interest in a topic but still posts in it he is confused?

Yes, news about the man-child is of great interest since the amount of people who hate his guts is growing day by day. You can parrot your hero all you want and call it fake news but however much you try to avoid it the truth will eventually come out.

 

I take this as entertainment when bored. Makes for fun reading. Continue beating the drums.

Well, it's not written by someone in Thailand and thankfully the rest of the world have no use for Thailand's idiotic defamation laws. People participate in the threads that interest them and no one gets people more fired up than the man-child these days. If that offends you then why don't you just avoid these threads? I know, radical idea but why not give it a try?

So if one doesn't hold a view akin to yours, they are told to go away. But you're right Trump news is a best seller. Especially anti-Trump news. And if their is none, no problem, they simply make it up.

I got ahead of myself on the price, but looks like it could give the Triumphs some serious competition, as far as style goes, once it hits Thailand.

Why is that castration is not typical with beef animals here as it is in the US. You know, make them think more about grass than ass.

A little kid eating a breakfast bar...the inhumanity of it all.

In the US as well as any other country I suppose the one greatest asset is their home. Land prices are going up in Thailand at a crazy rate, creating the land rich, money poor syndrome.

net assets including cash.

In that case, what is your estimate of the average male retiree's net assets in the USA.

That's like saying right-wing Christians oppose grown men sexually assaulting 14-yr-olds, but then support men who do just that.   .....oh, I see now.  Both ClutchClark's missive and mine are true.   They must be a conflicted bunch.   I'm glad I'm not a Republican.   If so, I'd have to compromise my moral standards constantly.  Their motto is: Party loyalty over moral decency. Loyalty to Trump over doing what's right for the USA.

 

addendum: 'Party loyalty and person-worship over doing what's right.'   Hmmm, where have I heard that sort of logic before?   ....oh, that's right, a certain mustached angry man from Austria, about 75 yrs ago, took over a political party, and all hell broke loose for the ensuing 7 years.

 

Well, one good thing that came out of the 3rd Reich's domineering actions:   Germany, 20 years after the war, became a strong economic power.  Same for the other defeated war-mongering force:  Japan.   So, maybe right-wing biographers in the 22nd century will look back at the damage caused by Trumpsters, and conclude: "It was an awful administration, but at least the US went back to resume its role as world power in the 2040's."

 

 

 A genuinely disturbing comment.

"Nest Egg"? Who needs a nest egg? They have guns and their bible. Let the super rich have all the money it's the new social contract there. Sprinkle in some cheap talk about the "American Dream" plus liberal dashes of race baiting and all's good. While these nit wits are bamboozled by Trump's lies about how he will be paying more tax truth is he will be making out like a bandit. Meanwhile the average/median adult in most industrial countries are a mile ahead of Yanks in terms of wealth.

Median Wealth in US$

USA.          $45k

Aust.          $220k

Italy.           $138k

UK.              $112k

Explain what is meant by wealth.

You Trump guys continue to vote against your own self-interest.  After a few years when it's clear that economic growth is not nearly enough to offset the deficit, how is the US gov going to pay for all these tax cuts?  One word--entitlements.  We're talking social security, medicare, federal/military pension, etc., all getting cut.  I hope you guys have a big nestegg. 

I have some. It was never my intention to totally rely on Uncle SAM in my retirement years.

It would be interesting to find out the income bracket of Pro-Trump vs. the income bracket of anti-Trumpers here on TV.

And, if retired what kind of retirement income.

3% of what?

Gross Domestic Product

It's the new Twin style retro looking bike. Either 600 or 650 cc. Can't find price on the websites. Anyone seen what price will be in Thailand?

Obama never reached 3%, in fact his overall average is 1.5%. Not going to respond to inaccurate troll posts.

Nate Silver’s 538 Just Exposed Trump’s Job Creation Boasts As Total Bullsh*t

 

http://verifiedpolitics.com/nate-silvers-538-just-exposed-trumps-job-creation-boasts-total-bullsht/

At some point folks are going to have to admit that economically the machine is purring nicely. When will it stop being Obama's policies? Never I suppose.

His performance in growing the economy is moving along nicely. Stock Markets are gaining, GDP increasing.
