  1. I was wondering when a thread for bigots would come along......
  2. "If they know what is good for them". That works both ways.
  3. Actually, I don't think I ever said Kamala would win. Please post one of my posts where i said that. As far as Roman history goes, Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses.
  4. Teflon Don is an apt description. In the MAGA euphoria, it seems to have been forgotten he is due to be sentenced soon.
  5. He probably will, when he gets his ducks in a row.....
  6. I studied Roman history when I was learning Latin, you don't know what you are talking about.
  7. Hatred, bigotry, racism and misogynism have won. Empires rarely fall from outside forces. They fall from the rot and disunity within. Historians mark the decline and fall of the Roman Empire with the reign of Commodus. IMO the decline and fall of US hegemony will begin with Trump's second term. Anyone who thinks Trump ( or Vance ) can change their spots to become unifying leaders is going to be sorely disappointed.
  8. Why would I want to be an American? I never had to teach my son how to avoid getting shot at school. I've never had to pay an arm and a leg for medications. Or mortgage my house for surgery. I don't have to wonder when the IRS is coming after me. Most Americans don't realize how screwed up their country is.
  9. I am told by Thai Immigration to make 90 day reports, and extend my retirement visa yearly. Apart from that, I can't think of anyone else issuing instructions. I thought you were working from a Kremlin basement. The paucity of your response to my post is telling.
  10. IMO every relationship evolves with time. My relationship with my GF started transactionally, it endured because we discovered we were sexually very compatible. With age, sex is very infrequent now. Our partnership is now one of caring for each other. I have had ample evidence of how much she cares for me, as I do her. As far as "useful assistant" goes, she puts in a lot more work than I do. I am useful for unscrewing bottle tops, opening jars, and doing the heavy lifting when we go shopping.
  11. Gee, what a surprise. A right-wing publication rated as having right-wing bias. Article written by John Tierney, a science columnist who has a BA after his name, not B Sc. Low credibility. A vote for Trump is a vote for someone who will cut taxes on billionaires, then slash Medicare and Social Security to pay for the tax cuts. Are the turkeys voting for Christmas? A salient feature of fascism is its demonization of minority groups. Immigrants, Haitians, Puerto Ricans, LGBT, etc. Just like Hitler demonized Jews and gypsies, "poisoning the blood of our country". History repeats itself. Harris respects the rule of law and the Constitution. It's pretty clear Trump does not. On that basis, who is more likely to be the fascist?
  12. Look on the bright side. it would solve the immigration problem, plenty of room for new arrivals. Perhaps it is part of Trump's "concept of a plan". IMO he secretly loves immigrants, cheap labor on his golf courses.
  13. The problem for me is white coat syndrome. My systole goes up by 40 mm Hg any time I am near a clinic, doctor or hospital. I have proved this several times to doctors, by taking my home monitor along with me to consultations.
  14. I am in a reasonably high spot in the city. My GF's house is situated in a high point in the village. Several of the neighbor's houses flood every year, we never have. If I lived in Bangkok or Florida, I'd want to be selling up ASAP. IMO northern Thailand is one of the better places to be in absorbing the effects of a changing climate. I just wish it would not keep screwing up my golf. I refuse to play in rain.
  15. The thread title is " Do Thais understand sarcasm?" Opinions are mixed on whether they do, or not. I am normally easy-going. When in doubt, I always give way in traffic to be on the safe side. That does not mean I think I should become a doormat for every rude person with no manners that comes along.
  16. So? A felon is a felon. Perhaps you have heard the phrase "Only in America" . Non-Americans use it quite often.
  17. Please tell me what would prevent the judge from deciding to sentence a felon to prison.
  18. Looks like the Trumpers are running out of straws to clutch.
  19. When the crowd was chanting "Hang Mike Pence" that was not an attempt to undermine the established political order? I am used to you lying to others. Isn't it time you stopped lying to yourself?
  20. Riot: A public disturbance involving violence and disorder by a crowd. Primarily focused on causing immediate chaos and destruction Insurrection: A violent uprising against an authority or government. Aiming to overthrow or undermine the established political order. Please stop the bullsh!t, you are embarrassing yourself.
  21. A guy claiming a worm ate his brain, talking about bears in Central Park, is not a nutter? Please be careful the next time you take a dip in the ocean. Shock horror, it has up to 1.4 mg/L fluoride. Don't drink tea, eat grapes, shellfish, shrimp or potatoes and spinach. The fluoride content may poison you. Just wondering how many posts will be made on this thread by people with zero scientific knowledge.
  22. Keep telling yourself that lie. It's classic Goebbels.
  23. Yes, I did forget Trump describing the Capitol insurrection as a day of love. I would prefer to forget Trump winning in 2016, that was when the sh!tshow of hatred, bigotry and division started.
  24. Aren't you forgetting the Capitol?
