You must have conclusive proof of her innocence, or you're just a fascist who thinks your ilk are incapable of committing crimes. It seems MAGAs and righties are more than a bit thick, too ignorant to learn the historical lessons of when rule of law breaks down and the guilty are allowed to get away scot free.

"Defund the police", the dribblings of a very few far left, was an abomination and an affront to all that is good and decent, but beating and bear spraying 140 police officers was a "lovefest" and "just typical tourists", carried out by "patriots" whom POTUS not only said "we love you very much", but he pardoned all of what he called "hostages" and is now talking about paying them reparations for lost income while incarcerated. Yes, MAGAs are Hypocrites, capital H.

Using the courts to try folks involved in wrongdoing, such as embezzlement or trying to overturn an election or stealing hundreds of highly classified documents, is what makes a country great. Others think all it takes for greatness is a silly slogan and a red hat, simpleminded fools that they are. Too bad the pity appointment of Merrick Garland prohibited the US from trying those who were indicted rightfully. Do you have evidence she is innocent, or are you just of the opinion that fascists and racists can do no wrong?

Assuming this is real, what's the problem? Why the criticism? I don't see her railing against the fat old expats who came and married former bargirls cashiers and now live in Thailand. Not that I would or could do it, but this concept of being an "Influencer" is a new thing, largely a phenomenon peculiar to Millennials, just as in my generation, the idea of being a hedge fund manager was new, and before me a code writer in COBOL. To each his or her own. Best of luck to her, and may she find the happiness many of us have found.

Nasty? We should all learn to do everything ourselves and not make others do our dirty work. Those Thai people could be running a company like CP or Singha Beer, yet this woman is forcing them to take meager pay to do her chores. I recall Henry Ford put all the rivets and bolts himself on his Model Ts, rather than exploit the poor people of Detroit by giving them jobs. If you cannot hire someone for a corner office VP job, then you're just exploiting them. Treat them with dignity and allow them to remain unemployed and hungry. A lesson to us all. It's the same reason I never use taxis. How could I make someone else navigate Thailand's horrific traffic and dangerous roads? That's just blatant exploitation. Always drive myself. I also slaughter my own chickens, rather than make someone else collect bad karma by killing another living thing. If I ever need open heart surgery, for example, I'll study up and do it myself at home, rather than exploit some poor guy who had to suffer through four years of med school, a few years of internship, and a few more of residency. How could I sleep at night if I offered someone work so that they could feed their family! I should just come to Thailand and lord over people with my wealth and not contribute anything to the local economy or local citizens. Let them see how white people do things, like the guy to whom you responded seemingly behaves. Like him, I come here to be an example of greatness and show Thais what the acme of human achievement looks like. I'm not going to employ any of them. Geesh. How could I do that...offer people gainful employment. Just rude!

(Almost) the only thing to fear is fear itself. Yes, some people will be spooked, but tourists flood to Turkey, Japan, etc. and places that have suffered severe quakes. Maybe it takes a little time. I suspect it will be a blip. There is way too much speculation, and not so many facts right now. Everybody seems to be a structural engineer. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is a major difference between cosmetic damage and structural damage. Damage to load-bearing structures is a concern, but if it's internal, non-load-bearing walls, it just looks bad. It will take time to check all the high rises in Bangkok. I suspect any building built or owned by a Japanese company will be inspected by Japanese structural engineers, and that's a lot of Bangkok buildings. I lived in Japan many years and endured hundreds of quakes of varying degrees. Only a few were of a power that knocked plates and glasses out of cabinets, pictures off the wall, and one time me out of my bed. I worked on a high floor, and it got to how we enjoyed the carnival ride as the building swayed. I used to walk to the window, figuring if it was the big one, I'd enjoy the view going down. People get over it. It might even be that more quakes are good, because they become routine. Okay, I don't wish that. There could be another quake tomorrow, or there might not be another one for fifty years. Let's wait until facts come out and the degree of real structural damage vs cosmetic damage can be assessed. Or pitch a tent in Lumpini Park and sleep with the monitor lizards. Or stay in a flood zone back home or tornado alley in the US.

MAGAs are not going to deny knowing; they WANT to be Nazis. ---POTUS told the assembled DoJ attorneys "The media criticizes me; it must be illegal; you should investigate" ---He and Musk want to jail those who are critical of POTUS, Musk or Tesla ---Actual journalists are being banned from WH Press Briefings (e.g., AP, because they still call it "Gulf of Mexico"), but Russia Today and another org funded by Russia are welcome ---ICE, wearing black face masks, has been apprehending and holding/deporting US citizens and even veterans ---DoJ is an instrument of POTUS not aimed at upholding laws, but instead prosecuting critics ---POTUS thinks courts must bow to him, ignoring the checks and balances established by the Founders ---POTUS has justified falsely and said he will take the Sudetanland Greenland, using military force if necessary ---POTUS said yesterday he will run for a third term saying he can 'get around' the 22nd Amendment Yes, MAGA = Nazi Fascists

Watch out. The tariffs are making the price of tin skyrocket. Please, please don't go back to America. It's been totally depopulated by that Psyop and the killer vaccine. There's only like 4 Americans left above ground. Bodies everywhere. Of course it's now pretty easy to get a tee time, even at Augusta and Pine Valley.

Everybody's deities came from nothing, or "always were", apparently until they got so bored they created a Universe of a few hundred billion galaxies, each with upwards of a trillion stars, just so one one planet around one average star in one average galaxy, sentient beings could develop who would then thank said deity for a cheeseburger and tell it how great it is. Well, the Universe is here, or at minimum you are (Descartes). Zero proof of Zeus or Shiva or Yahweh or Allah or Bokonon. Because you cannot understand particle physics doesn't mean there is a deity, anymore than the Earth must be flat, otherwise we'd all fall off. I always get a kick out of religious folks who threaten me with eternal damnation. The devil is supposed to be the epitome of evil, as he's the one who makes us lie or cheat or steal bubblegum. The good guy, however, who is claimed to be "pure love" sends tsunamis and earthquakes and childhood cancer.....all part of either some Master Plan or "mysterious ways". I'll take the devil and cheating. I suspect his country club is a lot more fun than Mr Tsunami.

Clearly the MAGA cult wants to destroy the greatest democracy the world has ever seen. MAGAs hate the 1st Amendment, especially the part about Free Speech and Free Press. POTUS said before DoJ officials two weeks ago that when people and media criticize him, "It must be illegal...and you should investigate it". Shadow President Musk now says those who criticize Tesla should be jailed. When he played 45, POTUS ordered stormtroopers to beat and tear gas peaceful protesters ("Freedom of Assembly") in Lafayette Park, just so he could go hold a Bible upside down in front of a church for a photo op. MAGAs hate checks and balances as laid out by the Founders, believing the job of Congress is to clap like trained seals whenever their messiah tells a lie or issues another Executive Order. MAGAs also hate that "separation of church and State thingy", with many---even elected officials---saying the Christian Bible, not the US Constitution, should be the basis for the nation. MAGAs hate judges who uphold the rule of law and act independent of the king POTUS. Yesterday the POTUS said he intends to run for a 3rd term, despite the 22nd Amendment, and thinks he can get around the mandatory 2/3s Congressional vote and 2/3's of the States agreeing to remove and Amendment. And we not only see that trying to overthrow the democracy is not a crime, but anyone who was convicted deserves both a pardon and restitution, while the folks who did their job and upheld the rule of law should be fired and investigated (in the FBI and DoJ).

I'm fully in favor of MAGAs avoiding vaccines and instead injecting disinfectant. Make sure they inject their spawn, too. A double dose, just to be safe. And absolutely no polio, smallpox or measles vaccines for MAGAs, along with mandatory home schooling just so they can avoid any chance at stumbling into a Drag Queen Story Hour.

Never understood this "died doing something he loved", as if that is somehow comforting. I'm willing to bet that if we could ask Joseph, "Would you rather die getting kicked in the ribs doing something you loved at age 30, or instead taken up lawn bowling and spent your 30s+ chasing women, getting married, having kids, watching them grow up, and retiring at 60 to a beach front home on Koh Samui?", he'd pick the latter. To each his own, but it seems to me life is too precious to risk it playing a barbarian. Learning something for the sake of self-defense, as there are many miscreants in the world, might make sense, but to willfully ask for brain or organ damage seems a waste. Like a few folks here, I'm not a fan of sports where the intent is to hurt and injure the opponent. Inadvertent injuries in sports I can accept, as I played US football, got my shares of elbows playing basketball, and took a few 90 mile an hour pitches in the leg and arm on the baseball diamond, but sports where the goal is brain damage, no thanks. The MMA craze among the goobers in the US is bizarre, as if humans have decided to stop evolving, or the idea of "being a man" involves caveman skills rather than doing things like bettering oneself, pursuing knowledge, being responsible for loved ones, adding value to society, etc. Why not just bring back gladiators who slaughter each other to please the masses. Heads and limbs cut off, intestines spilled on the ground, lions eating people....yea, manly stuff! Bread and circuses for the great unwashed! Let's sink to the lowest common denominator!

Putin: "Remember that 11 year old Russian girl who looked just like your daughter at that age?" TS/SCI

I'm so worried our messiah will put sanctions of Russian wine and autos! I want my Zil! (Is it the afternoon of 20 January 2025 yet? My watch seems to have stopped in the Imperialistic 18th Century, what with all this Greenland talk)

You couldn't be farther from the truth....or reality. It is the bloated clown who is trying to destroy everything the US should be. He hates free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly....the whole Constitution. Now he wants to play 18th Century Imperialist. He said Saturday, "100% we will take Greenland; using military force if necessary". Anyone who supports that idiocy is a traitor and an enemy of real patriots and an enemy of the free world. I do hope the Danes blow his friggin head off, as NATO Article 6 allows. In fact, any NATO member would be within their right to slaughter him. You are not smart enough to see reality. Leave important things to people with brains.

POTUS said it yet again yesterday: "I will not rule out the use of military force to take Greenland." I do hope the Vikings send a hit team to eradicate the vermin that is POTUS and finally m A g a.

We get MAGAs telling us Biden is somehow responsible for Ukraine and Gaza, and they then extrapolate others; aggression and call Biden a "war monger". So this POTUS launches an attack on Yemen, which his miscreant buffoons broadcast live on a commercially available social media site, and that's okay. Also, POTUS "does not rule out the use of military force to take Greenland" from fellow NATO member Denmark, and he's some kind of hero. Such is MAGAthink, which really is not thinking at all. Now the empty suit who carries the title of Vice President, goes to Greenland and tells them they need protection from invaders, when the only invader on the horizon for the last 1000 years is the VP's boss. I am reminded of the scene in Blazing Saddles, when black man Cleavon Little is surrounded by a dozen white cowboys. Little's character pulls his own gun, points it at his own head, and says "Nobody move, or the [N-word] gets it!", to which a woman cries out, "Somebody do something!"

Yes, it was a silly, pointless trip by a guy with little else to do. It was like a dog out for a walk peeing on bushes to pretend he's expanding his territory. He should have spent his time in Ohio protecting small animals from pet-eating Haitians, rather than wasting the taxpayers' money on boondoggles.

What does DC do for Alaska? Last week Putin said something about Seward's Folly being a bad deal, and that Russia should consider taking it back. Though he did not say it specifically, I bet he wouldn't "rule out the use of military force". If POTUS can simply decide to play 18th Century Imperialist, and covet a land mass never controlled by the US, then certainly Putin can justify retaking a piece of land his ancestors did once control. Anyway, it's POTUS who is resurrecting Imperialism, so MAGAs cannot complain if other leaders follow suit. As an alternative, leaders can act like grown ups and come to terms with the modern rules of human civilization. Is that too much to expect from our current President....being a grown up and civilized? Okay, I answered my own question. Never mind.

Since our current US leadership is as infallible as a Borgia Pontiff, I wondered about Greenland's security and how, according to the VP, it is at risk. I looked at history. Since Leif Ericsson, I did not see Greenland was attacked by Genghis Khan, nor Tamerlane, nor Attila the Hun, nor Hannibal (maybe Lecter, but I'm told he's a "great guy"), nor the Saracens, nor Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin or even Martians or Klingons. The only mention of military force to be used against Greenland in the last thousand years was made by the current US President, who said he would not rule out the use of military force to take what he wants, which is Greenland. So, parsing all of that, the VP was telling the Greenlanders they needed him to protect Greenland from....him. Isn't that how Mafioso shake down businesses for protection money?

LOL! After the fact, you think Hegseth has the integrity to admit the truth? He's other playing CYA, or he's an idiot who doesn't know he put the lives of pilots in danger. Either way, he should be fired. Of course he won't, because MAGAs are incapable of being anything buy "the best evah!".

Goodness. A turnip would know one does not discuss weapons and issue launch order via a commercial app. Lucky it was Goldberg on the chat, as someone else might have published it real time, alerting Iran. F-18s could have been shot down and their pilots lost. Hegseth should commit seppuku, as would any samurai who was so reckless. And the fist pump and bicep emojis are pure elementary school. I really do not understand the veil of wilful ignorance that takes over MAGA minds....and I am generous with the use of the term "minds".

Goodness! A MAGA told a lie? What is this world coming to, when you can't even trust a disciple of the Second Coming! Inflation is up from December. Stock market is down. Consumer Confidence is way down. The messiah is not omnipotent. Incompetent is more his speed. "Some people are saying" nobody is as incompetent as him; the most incompetent ever.

Didn't you mean the S&P is plummeting? It tanked Friday because prices came in higher than expected, as did expectations of inflation, so the Fed has to stay put. It looks as if POTUS cannot bring prices down. Also, Consumer Sentiment is the worst in years. Recession if lucky, Depression if not. And.....STAGFLATION. After Biden inherited the carnage of 45, which resulted in inflation hitting upwards of 9%, it fell way back to just above 2% before Biden left office. It fell much faster than worldwide inflation. Now, sadly, it's on the rise again. Even if egg prices might have come down (which they have not nationwide), would most Americans be happy to spend $thousands more for a car so long as they can pay a few $ less for eggs? How about everything MAGAs buy at Walmart? Add up all those after the tariffs. Enjoy your eggs. Some people are so easily satisfied.

Are you Edward Snowden, living in a dacha Putin provided? Otherwise I can't figure how you would know Putin's thoughts. Certainly I haven't seen any change in Putin's behavior since Biden left, except Putin is now talking about connecting Kaliningrad with mutha Russia. If you are Eddy, be careful. When Edward Lee Howard's usefulness to Putin ran out, that Eddy fell down a flight of stairs in his Moscow home and died.
