Iron Tongue

I'm confused. Was this a multiple casualty event? Who is the blonde gal in the center position while the Irish lad is off to the right?

206 grams is 7.25 ounces of cocaine. The purity is unknown, but in the US, 1/2 ounce is enough for a 5-40 year sentence depending on prior convictions. 7.25 ounces of cocaine is enough to kill Charlie Sheen AND Hunter Biden.

Two words: Super Gonorrhea.

Too bad she didn't have a job. Having a job would have helped her meet those living expenses...

Of course she would. If her BF goes into lockup, or gets deported, she loses her meal ticket.

There's an article in BBC today about another minor Chinese actor lured to Thailand via WeChat for an acting gig when he was taken to Myanmar and forced work at a scam call center. He got out because his girlfriend raised enough ruckus that the Chinese Govt. had to get involved to force his return.

Boo hoo. Criminals preying on criminals. These Chinese nationals were ripped-off during their attempt to launder Thai baht into crypto.

Deport them. Ruin their Phuket sexpat vacation.

On one hand, this does force corporations to care more about letting scammers take over their communications and authorizations. But on the other hand, this just allows the Thais to behave even more carelessly and stupid with their digital identity and finances.

And this was at 3:21 AM. Story sounds totally legit! We all run to open the door if someone knocks on it at 3:21 AM.

Yep. I've had Russians explain to me that they don't really joke, nor do they smile or talk to strangers. It's a cultural defensive trait to never get noticed or get in troubke. I doubt a Russian would just start to joke with people at another table. And alcohol would not be a factor.

Stupidity and a feeling of entitlement to do anything they please because they are on vacation

Yawn. Tin foil hat conspiracies. There are almost 20 countries with overlapping claims to Antarctica. It is also far from most country's ability to quickly reach, making it difficult to impossible to attack or defend. A base far from your resources & strengths is a stupid choice to develop advanced weapons & military technology.

Exactly what I was wondering. I think that if they had charged in-flight alcohol prices, there'd be plenty of instances of 3 men sharing 1 gin, and asking for a discount because they brought their own cup.

Rubbish reasoning. As the attacker was entering the weed shop, he hadn't had any weed yet. He could have been just as easily been raging from a meth binge and was looking for some THC to mellow-out a bit when the taxi driver got in his way. BTW, did you know the word "Assassin" came from"Hashashin"? The original cult of deadly killers who smoked hash as part of their rituals before going out for a kill? Want something more modern? Do you know that ISIS fighters smoke loads of weed before going to battle, including detonating suicide bombs? Medically proven, cannabis can induce psychosis, the resulting agitation & paranoia can lead bursts of violence.

We know that Elon spent $250,000,000 on the election; however Kamala's minders spent from $1,000,000,000-to-2,500,000,000 in 3 months. How many votes did they buy? And why didn't Kamala win?

He isn't stripped naked. I don't believe he is Russian at all.

Really? So you think criminals should be given a chance to fight instead of readily complying to the police? That would be your idea of bravery?

Another criminal sorry for being caught, not regretting the life he lived to get him there.

You don't really care about Mexico, the US, or reality, you are still mired in Trump You show your bias against Mexico, Mexicans, and probably women by using "Mexican Woman..." header instead of something more appropriate like "President of Mexico" or "President Sheinbaum of Mexico..." but you got Trump's name right. Just accept the reality is that everybody is posturing for their constituency by throwing red meat to their supporters. Whatever is said won't reflect the upcoming changes at the border AND trade between countries. What will eventually happen is that both sides will come to an understanding like what happened 4 years ago when Mexico used its military to clamp-down on illegal migrants passing through their country. This will happen because Mexico has much more to lose than the US if Trump closes the border like he did before, when Mexico immediately agreed to enforcing their borders, instituting Remain in Mexico, and replacing NAFTA with USMCA.

Who wudda thunk that hair dye salesmen made so much money, and apparently it's an all-cash business! Now if I hadn't have known that this was a hair dye salesman in Chinatown, I would have made some sort of wild guess that he was probably a Bag Man for Chinese organized crime who moved a lot of illegal proceeds and payoffs around as cash and gold bars for his bosses...- but that would have been crazy talk!

So has their country of origin been mentioned? I haven't been able to find it, although I'm not looking too hard. All those "thugs" and I see 2 machetes, and is one guy holding a slice of birthday cake?

You never know. The profits are huge. It may not be the proprietor, but the distributor/deliveryman bringing you cases of counterfeit rotgut that then gets served. Possibly, one of your barbacks is slipped some money to not look at the labels too closely. And for anyone who thinks the criminals can't do their own labels and capping on bottles to look like brand new hooch... We've all likely been served fake booze somewhere or other, luckily, most of them just use crap ethanyl and not added methanyl.

Um, yeah. So Donald Trump leans with Nazis, yet somehow allows his daughter to marry an orthodox Jew and convert to Judiasm. His grandchildren are Jews. So how many streets in Israel do they name after Nazis? Give up already. The top party Dems have already moved-away from calling Trump a Nazi after the elections ended. Only morons are trying to keep up with that line of political attack.
