I haven't forgotten about conspiracy theories if that's what you mean, because that's exactly what they were/are. And please don't reply with your 'evidence'. It's been done to death, proven to be complete nonsense and really quite boring now.

 

Well I certainly can't provide any sort of evidence that you would consider "non conspiratorial" since it was Biden himself who gloated in a recording and a crowd about his quid pro quo.

The fact that you bury your head in the sand about it, however, doesn't invalidate that fact.

The entire Reid episode was beyond fabricated. Anyone who thinks Biden pinned her up against a wall, in the very public halls of congress, needs to stop drinking the kool aid, and get some therapy immediately.

 

 

I thought we were supposed to "believe all women". 

At least, that's what it was like when Kavanaugh was under media pressure - are we flip-flopping again now that it's politically inconvenient to stick to our morality?

Specific examples would be referencing specific laws and explaining how the authors of such laws knew in advance that these laws would disproportionately affect minorities.  You haven't done that.

 

Once again, prosecutors are supposed to prosecute those who can be proven to have broken laws.  No doubt you would be just as quick to condemn Harris if she hadn't done that.

 

BTW:  The topic is about a poll stating that the majority of Americans want to wait until after the election before replacing Ginsburg.  How is your obsession with Kamala Harris's record as a prosecutor on-topic?

I'm sure I could provide you with pages of court notes, but you've already proven that it's not politically convenient for you to actually question your held beliefs, after all; you've already made up your mind by your constant inability to answer simple queries, nor to provide evidence but instead stonewall and dodge. Interesting.

With regards to being "on topic", this is how forums work - a parent post brings out an idea, which spawns child posts and discussions. I'm sorry if you find that confusing.

Once again, a Trump supporter prioritizes Trump's interests and wishes before all else.

Who knew the founding fathers could think so far ahead!

Oh wow, now I feel really stupid, I'm so used to not receiving spam, that it didnt even occur to me to check there, :facepalm:

Sure enough, there it is. From a domain bizpotential .com (? lol)

 

Thanks for your help

Along with no SSL certificates, you can't expect much when dealing with Thai businesses and government bodies as they don't typically adhere to any semblance of security practice and therefore regularly fall into the spam box.

I wonder where he fits in the order of cost - somewhere in top where quality is expected, or was it bargain basement thainess at its best?

Probably irrelevant to the cost of medication, how much for Pep? you sound like an expert

Not sure how much it costs, but I do know that several of the doctors there are gay and price everything at a very reasonable price (I know the cost prices of many of their labs and it's essentially being done for "free" after fees) in order to help support the sexual health of the community.

I have no doubt that they would be amongst the cheapest suppliers in the private clinic space in Thailand.

Will this be like the other FTAs where they throw in 500 requirements for import documentation and you somehow always end up having to jump through hoops to actually get the "free" part of the trade agreement when bringing goods into Thailand, or have they sorted it out?

Not allowed on the balcony in some hotels

Be a rude awakening to find out they've got all these balcony activities planned, said hotel doesn't allow you to go on the balcony, and you've already prepaid your stay ????

Pulse clinic offers PEP at its clinic in Sukhumwit 13.

 

https://www.pulse-clinic.com/pep/

Great doctors here, although the giant billboards of guys in their underwear caressing each other's 6 packs is a bit of a turn off.

Affordable prices for the full suite of tests too - easily 30-100% cheaper than other places.

Pep or PrEP?

Yes, but few coutries punish the crime with a prison sentence. Civil countries punish employers who get benefit from illegal low cost workers, not the modern slaves who only tries to make a living

Yes, it's a shame - however Thai don't seem to care enough and more than happy for you to be thrown in the IDC.

What goes around comes around; if they want benefits for their citizens they should start at home by building mutual respect and reciprocity.

The pretties are great.

You might have to wait a while for the ones made in 2021 to become mature.

@OP - Thai play weird games with the model years so be extra careful when checking; they take the registered date as the "model year" not the actual model year like the rest of the world... stupid right?

I haven't seen new models in yet, and with this year being funky for all involved with automotive manufacturing I'm not sure we will see them until the very end of the year.

Toyota in particular has been playing catch-up with their new corolla cross, with some export markets not receiving their first batch until 2022

So, short version to the long answer, not sure yet.

I have my doubts whether Trump will even be able to find Thailand on a map.

The initial challenge being whether Thai can point to it on a globe, or if they need a drawing from the nearest Wat cross-referenced by the nearest Central.

I believe the OP's concern is about the request for his passport and other documents for the customs clearance and he would like to know whether this was required of other people who had a shipment arrive via a courier service.

Never required any of this. Same thing - order with pre-payment from Amazon.

We know that a huge number of Thai and Chinese condo buyers have already started defaulted on their monthly payments, realizing that Airbnb rentals are no longer viable. Many are simply writing off the 30% they originally paid and walking away.

This means that the Thai banks, who were already sitting on a huge amount of repossessed property, will now have a ridiculous amount. This is going to be significantly worse that the crash of '97. Much of the bank's supposed liquidity is based on counting the property already on their books at it's full original value (yes, this would be fraud in any other country), the government will be under tremendous pressures to prop up the property market.

I have no doubt that the government will introduce another residence scheme for condo buyers, but it will only apply to those being sold by either the banks or particularly well-connected development companies. The prices will be based on the pre-covid market. What you will receive will be a 5-year Elite visa, worth 500,000. Commenters here on TVF will be disappointed to note that it would be cheaper to buy a condo on the regular market and buy your Elite visa separately. The scheme organizers will, however, decorate the marketing with golden dragons and the Chinese will love it.


 

Don't forget the gold bars they'll hand out on signing over.

No it is not the start of a new sentence, as you have no periods (.) to denote the end of a complete sentence.  Using .... is not a proper or correct end for a sentence. See your post which I have copied and pasted below:

 

"I really can't believe they think that tourists are going to come flooding in ....   lol

Amazing laughable Thailand ....."

 It's like that dreaded feeling of being late for your exam, only to wake up and realise it was all just a bad dream.

And NO, tinder is not a "sex" app, it is an app to make friends, for lonely people, who are very restricted in bars or whatever in their area, you can connect with like-minded people nearby, and arrange meetings to know each other better!

How much kick-back do you get when I sign up for Gold to "make friends"? ????
