When Amazon's next Bond movie comes out with all the London scenes filmed using CGI in California to overcome the Jon Voight tariffs - think I'll give it a miss and sit down to one of Voight's or Stallones latest classic B movie collection.

If you think "2&3 are Bidens BS" you will have problems understanding just about anything in life.

Think you meant Russia is in debt. They started this mess.

Pot calling the kettle there I see. What is sad about the ABC interview knuckle incident is not only Trumps lies and repeated baiting of the interviewer to yield to his false narrative but the ABC reaction. The interviewer wants to move on and not make a scene, like dealing with a dementia patient in a care home, when in fact he was interviewing the POTUS and should have followed with "Wtf are you talking about, the tattoos are not real they are photoshopped, you are the President, are you loosing your freaking mind?"

Who is clutching? The sycophantic rhetoric out of her mouth is clear as can be. Were you not ready for it? "“Since you have been in office, President Trump, your DOJ agencies have seized more than 22 million fentanyl pills — 3,400 kilos of fentanyl...which saved, are you ready for this, media? 258 million lives,” Bondi claimed."

But its not irrelevant when a President is lying to your face, then insulting you for not going along with the lie.

It is indeed. Trump wants the ABC news reporter to bend to Trumps false narrative of lies, that the image is not photo-shopped, and call it truth, and like a child he will not let the reporter move on until he agrees to Trumps illogical tantrum. Good luck negotiating trade deals.

You provided no links. I dont care about your opinion on anything The link is in your profile. If you click on "Find Content" it shows all of your comments and opinions, i.e. a lack of knowledge. This happens when you are confining yourself to one kind of echo chamber for all your information.

Isn't that what the British Embassy is for? Or is it now impossible to get a face to face meeting there also?

The White House today said the display of tariff prices on its Amazon web site is a 'hostile act'! Imagine a government that considers the truth of what you are paying for as a hostile act.

Yes dear, have you taken your meds as prescribed today yet?

Fetterman, living proof there are psychopathic idiots elected to power on both sides the aisle in the land of the free.

The statement is fundamentally flawed and dangerous due to its reliance on misinformation, exaggeration, and conspiracy-driven rhetoric. Here's a brief breakdown of what's wrong and why someone might say it: What's Wrong: False Claims About Vaccines: The assertion that "all vaccines will kill you" or are universally harmful is not supported by scientific evidence. Vaccines undergo rigorous testing for safety and efficacy. Decades of data show they prevent millions of deaths annually from diseases like polio, measles, and smallpox. Side effects are rare and typically mild; severe adverse events, like anaphylaxis, occur in less than 0.01% of cases. Misrepresentation of Autism: The claim that vaccines cause autism, particularly with the dramatic example of triplets, is baseless. Numerous studies, including a 2014 meta-analysis involving over 1.2 million children, found no link between vaccines and autism. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition with genetic and environmental factors, not a "vaccine adverse event." Conspiracy and Distrust: The statement invokes a distrust of institutions (e.g., HHS, vaccine manufacturers) and suggests a cover-up without evidence. Liability protections for vaccines exist to ensure supply stability, not to hide harm. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in the U.S. addresses rare cases of harm. Hyperbolic Language: Terms like "poison" and "devastating" exaggerate risks and ignore the overwhelming benefits of vaccines, such as herd immunity and disease eradication. This emotional rhetoric obscures factual discussion. Why Someone Might Say It: Misinformation Echo Chambers: Individuals may be exposed to anti-vaccine content on platforms like X, where sensational claims spread rapidly. Confirmation bias leads them to accept unverified anecdotes over peer-reviewed science. Distrust in Institutions: Historical events like the Tuskegee experiment or pharmaceutical scandals fuel skepticism about medical systems, making some receptive to blanket anti-vaccine narratives. Emotional Appeal: Personal stories, like a family affected by autism, resonate emotionally. People may attribute complex conditions to a single cause (vaccines) for simplicity or to assign blame. Political or Ideological Alignment: The reference to "Bobby Kennedy" and "MAHA" suggests alignment with figures or movements skeptical of mainstream science. Such statements can be a rallying cry to galvanize supporters or push political agendas. In summary, the statement is a mix of debunked myths, emotional manipulation, and distrust, likely said to provoke fear or rally a specific audience. For accurate vaccine information, consult sources like the CDC or WHO, who idiots that spout the propaganda also want to de-fund surprise surprise.

Why should anyone remember this on a forum called ASEANNOW? You are baiting the wrong audience. Tell someone who gives a monkeys.

It was not a neutral comment as it ignores an injustice by an aggressor? It was also not targeted at you specifically but "some people" as I said, and there are a lot of "them" on this forum for some reason.

Some people are living in a parallel world of the mentally unhinged or Russia. Russia is the aggressor and invader. No end to this until Russia pays for this.

Is that because you don't like being overtaken?

Like thats his main concern now.

Utterly distasteful remarks like only a Russian boot kisser might spout. Many view the U.S.'s opportunistic approach, exploiting Ukraine’s resources while offering little for its victimization by Russia, as deeply distasteful. The U.S. absence from London peace talks may be preferable if it cannot engage constructively, avoiding further criticism for prioritizing self-interest over Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.

And there's your answer in your own words. You don't know. Stock Market: The Federal Reserve's independence is critical for investor confidence. Firing Powell would signal political interference, raising fears of mismanaged monetary policy, higher inflation, or economic instability. This uncertainty could trigger a sharp decline in stock prices, as seen in recent market drops following Trump's attacks on Powell (e.g., S&P 500 fell 2.4% on April 21, 2025). Dollar: Powell's removal could erode global trust in U.S. monetary governance, weakening the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. Investors might flee to safer assets like gold, as evidenced by the dollar hitting a three-year low after Trump's threats. Bond Sell-Offs: Firing Powell could lead investors to demand higher yields on U.S. Treasuries due to perceived risks of inflation or default, especially if Trump pushes for lower rates amid tariff-driven inflation. This would cause bond prices to fall, with yields like the 10-year Treasury already rising above 4.4%. The threat alone has already rattled markets, as seen last Monday, so Trump has since had to wind his neck in.

Unfortunately we got Trump for 4 years unless he's impeached so not that easy.

The story of most MAGA voters learning capacity.

The title "Extension (retirement) rules change?" is still misleading as there is no change at all?

Trump loyalists are stuck in their own echo-chamber along with all of his sycophants, so reality is different for them even when English is their native tongue. <deleted>
