Yet Franklin D Roosevelt, who led the US through four terms including the Depression and WWII was a cripple, mainly confined to a wheelchair.

You are correct, I should have said walking against the traffic, which is something I always do when there is no footpath.

Ì was walking down a one-way soi with the traffic once and a guy on a motorsai almost ran me over from behind. I made the mistake of reminding him that it was one-way, he stopped and said he has lived in the soi for 50 years and who am I to be telling him that. My GF who was with me at the time suggested that if I liked living just zip it in the future.

Your deletion of my reference link with the quote and date didn't go unnoticed. Hillary made that comment at an election fund raiser before the election, so it wasn't 'those who voted for Trump'. And it was only half of the Trump supporters not half of the voters she said that were 'racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic'. I suggest that most countries even more so the US, have inflation under control with sensible fiscal policies, both Dems and GOP need to address Immigration and most countries are laughing at Trump/ and GOP policies.

Honest Hillary actually said: 'To just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it.' Blind Freddie and in fact anyone who can read a dictionary, can see that the 'racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic' aka the 'DEPLORABLES' are those who have the mindset that 'anyone who has an outlook or opinion different than theirs is not to be tolerated'. And to be on topic, I would suggest that MAGA Mike also seems to exhibit those same characteristics. Also, facts and accuracy do not seem to be your friend, Hillary did not call 'half the countries citizens "DEPLORABLES", it was 'half of Trump’s supporters'. For the record, which half of Trump's supporter demographic are you in? Hillary Clinton Transcript: 'Basket of Deplorables' Comment | Time

I suggest Joe's impeachment is just a Trump pipe dream. According to Davis Weiss, Comer's IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley was only 'blowing smoke'. 'U.S. Special Counsel David Weiss, who is leading the probe into President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden, told the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that he faced no political interference in a nearly seven-hour interview, contradicting earlier whistleblower testimony'.

Obviously being a devout Christian, he believes in 'Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour'. 'I am a Bible-believing Christian. Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it — that’s my worldview.’

I used to live on Wiset Hill, back last decade and that was the road's accident black spot, with late night drunk drivers coming from Laguna. They would speed up the hill and lose it on the crest at the start of the S-bend and slide into the oncoming lane. One of my neighbours was rear ended by a Russian and finished up in the ICU and was later repatriated back home. Seems, the median strip has moved the black spot to the racetrack that is the straight between the hill and Chalong Circle.

Here is the driver's manual for the BYD ATTO 3 in particular the PEBS. This is just a precis of the limitations of the Predictive Emergency Braking System (PEBS) of the BYD ATTO 3 from the Owners Handbook: NB (DUI and/or speeding is not included) The Predictive Emergency Braking System (PEBS) is not a substitute for the driver’s attention and responsibility. The driver should always drive carefully and be ready to brake or steer away when necessary. The PEBS may not work properly in some situations, such as bad weather, complex traffic, or sensor malfunction. The system may not detect some objects, such as animals, bicycles, motorcycles, or pedestrians. The system may also be affected by the shape, color, or reflectivity of the vehicle ahead. The PEBS may trigger false alarms or unnecessary braking in some cases, such as when the vehicle passes a curve, a bridge, a tunnel, a toll station, or a metal plate on the road. The system may also misjudge the distance or speed of the vehicle ahead, or mistake other objects for vehicles. The PEBS may not be able to prevent collisions in some scenarios, such as when the vehicle is driving at high speed, when the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly or changes lanes, when the vehicle skids or slides, or when there is insufficient braking distance or time.

Mike Johnson’s Very Shady-Seeming Financial Disclosures? MAGA Mike is demanding transparency from the Ukrainians and cites this is one of the main reasons for the GOP not having approved any funding. Yet the Ukrainian Congress members must declare all their assets. Seems Mike either has no assets or he has forgotten to declare them.

Your 'point' being that an intelligent white chemist who was not a bigot, lived in a predominantly black neighbourhood in a fictional story?

The 'lesson' and the main theme of the story was how the main character overcame the misogyny that existed in the 50's though it also touched on racial discrimination. Seems as though for some not much has changed over the past 70 years.

Meanwhile, also in Iowa yesterday, unhinged Trump thought he was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Later, the cognitive and spatially impaired, very stable genius tried to his atone his previous gaffe about Orban being leader of Turkey by stating Orban's Hungary borders Russia which is some 1200km away.

MAGA Mike states that school shootings are the fault of feminism. teaching evolution and divorce etc. He also suggests that sex outside of marriage should be banned. Yet, he is an avid supporter the twice divorced and 'grab 'em by the p*ssy' proven rapist.

I suggest that Trump is worried, though not out of any loyalty to his daughter. Obviously, Ivanka knows too much. She has been an intimate witness to her father's misdeeds all her life. From her teenage days when he would barge unannounced into her room when she was changing, to more recently when she had to testify before the January 6th Committee, where she was asked to account for her father's activities during the attack.

Seems farcical that Johnson, aka MAGA Mike, who was the architect of pushback against the ‘stollen’ election - one of the biggest lies in US history - is trying to support his rhetoric by quoting ‘It’s just reality’ with co-conspirator Hannity from Faux News. Yet, he is surprisingly quiet about the ‘Person, woman, man, camera, US half-wit.

I just finished watching episode 4 of 'Lessons in Chemistry', which dropped today. It just keeps getting better, what a delight. No wonder, the episode is scoring 9.3/10 on IMDb. Thanks again to @bamnutsak. Lessons in Chemistry (TV Series 2023– )
