"I'm not the one saying we should execute former presidents I don't like." You seem to completely miss the point.....again. I will repeat and this time do try to pay attention. He should be tried not for his; - Hideous personality - Orange hue - Twitter obsession - Small hands - Golf cheating - P***y grabbing bragging - Obsessive lying/fibbin - Etc, etc, etc, etc. He should be tried for an attempted coup, i.e. for high treason. And for this to be committed by the C-in-C only one punishment fits the crime. "BTW, I don't actually need your tips or advice. You can keep those to yourself. Sanctimony and condescension . . . two traits I never get tried of from lefties." If you never get tired of it surely you don't want me to stop, right?

"This women feeds the military-industrial complex and you think she's vastly preferable to a guy with a weird hairdo and an unsavory Twitter addiction. Lovely priorities, that." It's not his hairdo and Twitter addiction that's the issue, it's his acts of treason. If I can give you a piece of advice it's that if you're gonna contribute to a thread it helps to know what the thread is about and you'll find the clues in the OP. Hope that helps. ".........and it might not be a good idea to publicly threaten a former president with execution." Tip # 2: Tone down the hyperbole. He didn't "threaten him with execution", he says he hopes trump is tried, convicted and sentenced to death in a court of law for his crimes. Personally, I totally agree.

Yep, IIRC a fire engine racing down from Bangkok crashed resulting in multiple fatalities. I can remember the large plume of smoke vividly. I was playing golf up at Siam CC at the time and remember us looking at it and saying that this has to be one heck of a fire. When I came home the Mrs gave me the news and late that day we went down to the scene of the fire and I still remember looking at the aftermath and feeling sorry for all those who were trapped, mostly because of criminal safety mismanagement. Having already stayed in Thailand for a number of years I also remember thinking that the real culprits will likely never be brought to justice and I'll be very surprised if I found out I was wrong. Edited to add that I just saw the link TallGuyJohninBKK posted but I still have a feeling they didn't do much (if any) time.

"If it's irrelevant as you say, why did biden focus on the 10 yr old?" Because it really underscores the serious consequences of SCOTUS' (now dominated by hyper-religious liars) preposterous decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. "We know the answer but some aren't willing to acknowledge it." There you go, I gave you the answer and acknowledged it at the same time. You're welcome.

Elon Musk says he's terminating $44B Twitter buyout deal
Phoenix Rising replied to Scott's topic in World News
Right Wingers Implode Over Elon Musk’s Termination of Twitter Deal "Following the announcement of Musk’s intent to purchase the company, the Tesla billionaire’s own Twitter account became a hub for far-right reactionaries looking to influence the potential new owner of the platform. Now that the deal is seemingly dead in the water, the reaction from those same personalities has been a public mixture of panic and lament." Personally I think Twitter (as well as similar platforms) is the very worst of social media. It's short message format promotes and encourages headline statements without context or background and does nothing but further division in an already divided society, and no amount of rules (or a no rules policy) will change that basic fact. Unfortunately the social media genie does not go back into the bottle and we're rapidly approaching a society (world-wide) where most people have the attention span of gnats. Basically, I thing we, as a species, are well and truly f-word-d. -
"He was good for the US and good for the economy while he was in office........" No, he wasn't and no, he wasn't. President Trump's Impact on the National Debt "The national debt increased by almost 36% during Trump's tenure. The national debt stood at $19.9 trillion when President Trump took office in January 2017, and it reached a high of $27 trillion in October 2020." "About the only good he does is in still turning the left and the media into gibbering morons- it is quite entertaining." And that seems to be the main motivation for most MAGA sheeple.

Trump Likely To Announce Run Soon Because He's A 'Freaking Toddler,' Says Ex-GOP Official ""Donald Trump may soon announce he’ll run for the presidency because he’s having a fit about the dirt revealed about him in Jan. 6 hearings, and because he has “all the impulse control of a freaking toddler,” a former GOP official scoffed Saturday. "I think that Republicans, yeah, this is the golem they created,” Bardella added."
