  1. D stands for Diversity. You think every DEI hire is a midget? No-one taller than average? What are you smoking?
  2. Somebody told me I could trust a used car dealer, I didn't believe them either.
  3. It was the criminal justice system working the way it should, with criminals. The message the Secret Service get is this guy is not worth taking a bullet for. The correct spelling is "loser", which only illustrates your own status.
  4. No. It means Trump can't weaponize the DOJ to invent crimes against them, thus satisfying his vindictiveness.
  5. Biden is issuing pre-emptive pardons to protect innocent people from persecution. None have been indicted for anything. Trump is issuing pardons to violent criminals already in jail. See the difference?
  6. Twisting January 6 into a Pelosi conspiracy is a sign of tin hat delusion. IIRC Pence asked Trump to call out the National Guard, Trump refused. You need help.
  7. Oathkeepers and Proud Boys like to boast they are armed and ready. Trump would do well to remember the Second Amendment works for his opponents too. That's the whole purpose of the Second Amendment, is it not? To prevent tyranny?
  8. Trump's pardon is a slap in the face for every law enforcement officer who was trying to protect the Capitol on January 6. The Secret Service is supposed to protect Trump. What kind of message does it send to them?
  9. News flash - we don't care what you think either.
  10. What is new about this? I thought protecting its citizens from terrorist attack was the standard function of any government.
  11. The amount of attempted gaslighting on this thread is not surprising, although the lies getting told by people like you are.
  12. I guess the US Treasury is riddled with lefties.
  13. Over 30,000 lies spoken or posted by Trump in his first term, you have a higher count? It's going to be fascinating and very entertaining when it dawns on the Trump supporters his policies are throwing them under a bus.
  14. Charged with 91 indictments. I guess fomenting insurrection, attempting to subvert voting, and illegally keeping classified documents is not serious in your book. You started with convicted, asked and answered. Now it's charged. Do they shift the goalposts much at Anfield?
  15. A jury of 12 people disagrees. So when I talk about Biden's achievements, how is that bashing America?
  16. You think Trump will do better? He will keep printing money. He's already got the practice in. His whole business empire is awash with debt, what makes you think America will be any different?
  17. Steinbeck's "East of Eden" is my pick of American literature. Of course, there are other great books authored by non-Americans - Dickens, the Brontes, Kingsley, Thackeray. Guy du Maupassant, Dumas. Tolstoy. AFAIK the first historical novel was "The Cloister and the Hearth" by Charles Reade. Published in 1861. Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke are giants of science fiction. In modern authors, it astonishes me how many Americans have never heard of John D. MacDonald.
  18. I stayed for two nights. 4 bedside visits by doctors, speaking excellent English. Round the clock nursing care, all medications. I passed on the food. 7000 baht, which I regarded as a bargain.
  19. Can you explain why I have had none of the problems you mention, after living here happily for 15 years? The roads in Chiang Rai are fine. WiFi is twice the speed my son gets in Australia, at one-third of the cost. In my 4 years living in Chiang Rai, I have yet to have a power cut. My son gets them like clockwork, has to have a backup battery to keep the refrigerator working. Power cuts can last for several days there. I have never been the target in criminal activity, or violence here. Tell me what country in the West has bum guns. Bidets are not flexible.
  20. Bum guns, Thailand's greatest contribution to civilization.
  21. Agree. I was triaged recently with bacterial pneumonia. After an X'ray and ECG, I was in a hospital bed with an antibiotic IV in my arm in about 90 minutes. Government hospital. In Australia, the same process would have taken 5-6 hours.
  22. There is plentiful corruption in so-called clean countries. It is just better concealed.
  23. The bilirubin backs up.
