In your eyes Trump's a squeaky clean all-around good guy, and not the POS human he appears to be?

It seems like you're assuming the banks simply did business with him and knew nothing about his activities. If that were clearly true it's quite unlikely that the cases would be able to proceed. There must be at least some evidence that the banks were aware that not everything was squeaky clean and yet chose to ignore it.

An N95 mask helps quite a bit.

The two most likely outcomes are: 1. She keeps the motorcycles. 2. She keeps the motorcycles and you get deported.

I thought so too, but from looking at his other recent posts he seems to be a True Believer.

Is that also how you measure the value of the people in your life?

yes. Just under 16 hours to BKK, Just over 13 hours return. A bit pricey for economy, but that travel time is so much better than other options.

For sufficiently small values of "extremely."

You get stamped out first, then go get the reentry permit?

Especially if now the other guy also has a "relative" visit ????

Often when hospitalized one is not really able to think these things through. It's a terrible system, widely practiced.

Is there a list of countries where this has happened?

If I could tell my younger self just one thing, this would be it.

You've assessed the damage and determined a proper amount?

6 comments, 2 "brown envelope" jokes. It just never gets old, I guess.

Interesting. I'd not heard of that. From looking at the site, though, it says you get a reservation, not a ticket. Is that good enough?

Natural selection is always at work. It's just that "fittest" might not be what you want it to be.

You get a new visa every year? An extension is relatively cheap. I did it for more than a decade pre-covid, and I think it was something like 1,900 baht per year. I don't remember exactly, but it wasn't a lot.

"Do not iron clothes while wearing them"

Sounds like what he really needed was legs, not arms.

The headline says worth 34M baht, which is currently about US$900,000

Always good to have someone to blame. If not for "them" everything would be just peachy.

They're buying cheap baht now. When the dollar eventually eases they might buy it back at a profit.

Many generations have had questions like this. What did people do before smart phones? What did people do before the internet? What did people do before TV? What did people do before radio? What did people do before electricity? etc. One day it'll be ubiquitous augmented reality, then virtual reality, then the computers take over and keep inventing new forms of entertainment to pacify the meat-creatures. ????
