  1. That can't be good for Lindsay Graham & staff.
  2. They should be blamed for Putin invading the Ukraine? I don't think much of JrBush but they have nothing to do with the Ukraine. And the Neocons, those MAGA bull snort bogeymen, they went back to their conservative think tanks/NGO's where they were spawned, decades back, when Iraq went tlts up. The only good thing is Putin has gutting both the Russian economy & manpower by this invasion. Now that Trump will let him win what he could not on the battlefield. Commie lovers do, what commie lovers got to do.
  3. Exactly So many of these articles do not explain, or erroneously explain, what is going on. Bootlegging, distilling liquor which is then sold to tourists. A highly lucrative business. However if you do not know what you are doing, or don't care. Death happens. Methanol is not added, it is a byproduct of distilling and must be discarded in the distilling process. That is what reputable distilleries do, and why there are government regulations. That is what bootleggers might not do because its just more liquid and more money so why not. And who cares if a person dies. Great facebook site - A drink to die from Mainly concerned with Indonesia, but has information on the region.
  4. They got what they wanted, yet still feeling that sense of betrayal. Sorry Muslim and Arab American communities, you are about to get bent over and pounded. Hard to believe you expected anything less. Remember to be polite, and tell the MAGA hammerheads ... 'Thank you sir, may I have another'
  5. Made copies for my records. Thanks.
  6. A tepid response, as likely you know the answer. It has not changed in the last ten years. Big Pharma just like the Military industrial complex as people like to call it, gives more money to Republicans than Democrats both historically and in the last ten years. I have to hand it to the Republican right wingers. They understand in todays new media world, all you have to do is yell it loud and keep chanting it, with FOX media as a backup, people assume it is real. That is another affect of the Internet and crushing of older news sources. For many people there is no way they can easily vet what they are getting and so it becomes 'true' by default. Just living a lie, and what fun, until something bad comes there way.
  7. Where do you get these figures, specifically why one would file if over these amounts. Even if with deductions Thailand has, one would pay no tax. Thanks
  8. Big Pharma gives money to both parties. They juice both democrats and republicans, That said they have always given more money to Republicans. FACT. Republicans in tune have helped them more than the Dems ever have . Exactly the same with military industries. They have always given more money to Republicans than dems. NOTE - both Musk and Trump recently shilling for Boeing, blaming problems on DEI. Boeing has been digging there own grave for 22 years before DEI existed. 'Taken over by the left' is pure fake news spew so popular with MAGA. Shout it loud and constantly, drown out any discussion, that's the right wings game plan for decades now.
  9. For good reason. As It has been said; 'The English like to be surrounded by themselves, they are clubbable people.' Count me out.
  10. China could care less about living there. However they do maintain a massive fishing fleet working all year long offshore on the rich Humboldt current. Two hundred boats or more swarm the waters off the Galapagos to the north, in season. Nothing Ecuador or Peru can do about it. Celestial leader Xi's red envelops to local politicians help smooth it a bit. They might have a decade before China fishes it out completely. You wonder what the locals will do then.
  11. Donald is not going to visit, uh how did he say it .... "Thigh-land" . Sounds like a pretty cool joke except he was trying to sound out the word from a teleprompter. He has the functional education level of a 7th grader and BTW couldn't find Thailand on a map. More to the point the Thais in Los Angeles, that chose to protest the Thai PM's visit, are US citizens. They have a layer of protection that Thais in Thailand do not. Now back to FOX fantasy land.
  12. Koh Chang White Sand beach, Koh Chang in general, gets more than its fair share of 'sea lice', more exactly baby jellyfish. Three trips, in different seasons, there were days we were swimming in the hotel pool, not the beach. Too many Stingers for an enjoyable salt water swim.
  13. Republicans love to yak about that. They did during the Reagan administration. Loved to tout, 'running government like a business'. Reagan had massive government spending, while making tax cuts, that was capped by Black Monday, in 87. Followed by the largest financial disaster & monetary loss until the 2008 Wall Street implosion. Deregulating the Savings & Loans was indeed a "winner". Poor old Bush 1 was left with the mess, the financial recession caused by all this and out in 92.
  14. Obama was elected to the Illinois senate in 1996. To the US senate in 04. Twelve years isn't a lot but it is a Heck of a lot more than ZERO.
