  1. You mean it wasn't Stalinist Russia or N Korea. ? It is now and still 3 years to go.
  2. Two <deleted> indicting Comey on two counts.
  3. "I got to say that's right out of 'Goodfellas'," Cruz said, evoking the Martin Scorsese gangster movie. "That's right out of a mafioso coming into a bar going, 'Nice bar you have here. It would be a shame if something happened to it'." The senator's remarks are a rare example of a prominent member of President Donald Trump's own party publicly criticizing the actions of the administration, highlighting deepening concerns over free-speech rights and Trump's threatened crackdowns. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/jimmy-kimmel-suspension-puts-disney-back-hotseat-writers-hold-protest-2025-09-19/
  4. Simple Americans, a subset more like.
  5. Hotels need to do TM30s and these need passports.
  6. The barriers run through farmlands and divide villages with predominantly Cambodian residents, blocking roads and access to long-established homes, prompting locals to protest as they're effectively cut off from their properties. Talks have stalled over fence removal and landmine allegations. It was reported in the press over a month ago. https://www.nationthailand.com/news/politics/40054341
  7. It would need someone pretty dim or with learning difficulties to think the ABC move is anything but censorship by the FCC run by Trump.
  8. Complete horse manure. 1. Kimmel’s Actual Point: On September 15, Kimmel criticized MAGA for politicizing Kirk’s murder by distancing the shooter without evidence, not claiming Robinson was MAGA. My response clarified the limited public info on Robinson’s ideology at the time. 2. Bullet Evidence: Bullet casings ("Bella Ciao," "Hey fascist, Catch") were public on September 12, but motive was unclear (per Governor Cox). Detailed leftist ties (e.g., pro-LGBTQ+ texts) emerged September 16-17, post-Kimmel. 3. Kirk’s Status: As a MAGA figure, Kirk was an unlikely target for supporters, supporting Kimmel’s critique of speculative "antifa" claims. 4. No Lie: Kimmel’s satire and my analysis align with the timeline and reports up to September 18. Early MAGA claims blaming "the left" were less substantiated.
  9. You are wrong or spreading muck misinformation. Jimmy Kimmel's statement was not a "blatant and shameless lie" because it was made on September 15, 2025—days before prosecutors publicly released evidence on September 16-17 confirming Tyler Robinson's leftist-leaning views and motivations (e.g., texts expressing frustration with Kirk's "hatred," support for trans and gay rights, and a shift toward progressive politics, as reported by outlets like Reuters, The Guardian, and PBS). At the time, limited public details about Robinson's ideology were available, and Kimmel's monologue critiqued MAGA figures for politicizing the event without evidence tying the suspect to the left, which aligned with the early narrative. The comment mischaracterizes Kimmel's words as knowingly false and ignores the timeline of emerging facts.
  10. First sentence correct. Second ridiculous. It wasn't ABC, they should file a lawsuit next to get the show reinstated. It was Trump appointed FCC Chair's solitary biased decision, not even a collective decision.
  11. theepochtimes.com 'nuff said. The Epoch Times is a far-right, international multi-language newspaper and media company with strong ties to the Falun Gong new religious movement. While founded to provide uncensored news about China, it has evolved into a prominent voice for conservative politics and conspiracy theories, especially since 2016.
  12. Call someone who knows what they are doing perhaps?
  13. Same here, the bank wants ID from your pp only as the name is original in your language whereas a Thai ID is your name written in Thai and subject to misinterpretation.
  14. Irrelevant for 2 reasons. 1. The UK Embassy does not deal with renewal of passports. 2. The UK passport office who supply the renewed passports from the UK need everything in English in the application.
  15. That's OK as Faux News is failing. Its just one misinformation echo chamber losing out to another misinformation channel: Fox vs Carlson
  16. If you have the bullets I'd hand them into the Feds to help them with their investigation.
  17. Time for the advertisers to pull their money from these jerks like they did for Tucker Carlson. Kilmeade can join the fringe extremists on SM platforms where he'll be forgotten.
  18. Obviously a question too deep for your mind. Social media and those with vested interests like yourself will paint a picture of him with wide brush strokes to fit their agendas now that a killing of a youthful mouthpiece of the extreme right has occurred. Facts won't matter how you do this.

  20. They will have already created the election results document.
  21. There you have it? There you have it? Where does it say anywhere in the quote by the Governor the killer was a leftist radical? You added the word leftist yourself from your own twisted ideology. All radicals are not leftist. Here's a list of a few of Americas radicals to remind ya! Timothy McVeigh, Anwar al-Awlaki, Eric Rudolph, Dylann Roof and Omar Mateen.
  22. Went straight over your head as expected lol.
  23. Nonsense and you reflect a classic right-wing viewpoint, one that's amplified in the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's killing. It frames the act of violence as emblematic of a broader "leftist" pathology—hate, violence, and self-sabotage—while conveniently ignoring the suspect's background in a Republican-leaning, gun-owning family and his personal ideological drift (from what appears to be a conservative upbringing to anti-fascist sentiments). This kind of rhetoric, seen in reactions from Trump allies like Laura Loomer and on platforms like X, risks deepening national divisions by generalizing one individual's actions to an entire political side, even as leaders across the spectrum (including Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican) have condemned the violence as an attack on free speech and democracy without partisan finger-pointing.
  24. There was more than one leftist killer now lol. The killer (single) hasn't even been named or caught yet and we don't know anything about the persons thoughts.
  25. Major Safety Concerns Driver Fatigue Management: The story mentions reducing an 11-hour journey to 9.5 hours and a 13-hour journey to 12 hours, but there's no mention of how driver fatigue will be managed on these extended routes. Based on international standards I mentioned earlier, drivers should have mandatory breaks every 4-5 hours or driver changes on such long journeys. Rest Break Elimination: The service explicitly eliminates "breaks at roadside eateries" in favor of onboard meals. While this saves time, it raises questions about whether drivers are still getting the required rest periods for safety, or if passengers have opportunities to stretch and move around during what are still very long journeys. Overnight Driving: The Bangkok-Chiang Mai service departs at 8pm, meaning significant portions of these 9.5-hour journeys occur during high-risk nighttime hours (especially the critical midnight-6am window when fatigue-related accidents peak). What's Missing from the Story No mention of driver rotation policies No discussion of mandatory rest breaks for drivers No reference to compliance with Thailand's commercial driving regulations No mention of safety protocols for extended overnight travel No discussion of passenger safety during continuous travel without stops Questions This Raises How can they reduce journey times while maintaining safety standards? Are they using multiple drivers per bus? Are they still providing adequate rest breaks that just aren't mentioned in the marketing-focused story? The emphasis on "efficiency," "speed," and "convenience" without any mention of safety protocols is particularly concerning for services of this duration. Passengers should inquire about these safety measures before booking, especially given the international standards for driver rest periods on long-haul routes.
