Fat is a type of crazy

Don't worry. Based on your discussion of your trips to Phnom Penh and Bangkok you've worked out no ones giving it to you for free. But dream on. So many gross posts by gross Trump supporters. I wonder if there is a link.

Malcolm are you trolling again

Hardly swept under the rug - right wing media love this type of story. Can't Trump talk about it with facts and a bit of heart and intelligence. Not make <deleted> up. I think you assume he had a plan to paint a bigger picture but really he just new the base loves this sort of stuff. But from your point of view the end justifies the means. Conspiracies tend to hurt people as - though they are normally not correct - the ones that take off with the lowest common denominator are those where one can find someone easy to blame for what ills them. I am likely repeating what's been said. There is no evidence it's true. The Haitians did nothing wrong. There was work in that town. Imagine being a Haitian child going to school amongst the local community. Life's hard enough. How would they feel.

Did they though. Out of 100 be honest about how many were true. Of those that turned out correct - did the government and media say that it was definitely false - or was it not denied as such but simply said there's no proof it's correct. Of course from time to time someone knows something that is the truth, has no proof, and it takes time to disseminate. Some governments and media too cannot be trusted or at least less than others. But the correct conspiracy theories tend to be so few and far between - and so many theories so terribly obviously wrong - that it makes the comment a bit of a sham if you be honest in my opinion.

I am differentiating between voter registration and casting a vote. My point was in Australia we need ID for the former but not the latter and it works well. It seems California is the same based on what I see.

My point was that I assume they require proof of identity to register to vote as we do in Australia. But we don't have to provide ID to actually vote. Or are you saying at no stage either to register or to actually vote - is some sort of proof of ID required.

I had a quick google and it seems almost all or all states require ID to register. Many require ID to vote. When I vote in Australia I provided ID to register - but don't need to provide ID when I vote - but they cross my name off and check that I don't vote more than once. No issues with fraud in Australia. Not sure if there is a factor I am missing.

Thought you were done with this area. Staying in Pattaya or Jomtiem? I 'm in Jomtiem. Like it near the beach. Good to see the busy part of Pattaya from time to time though.

Do you not feel a touch manipulated given the media you watch is no doubt bending over backwards to paint this disaster as being handled poorly. There's always things that go a bit wrong and it takes some people affected a while to be made right but look at the big picture and ask is this really a terrible thing and has it been committed specifically by Biden and Harris.

Or it's true. And Trump is boring.

Jimmy's ok if you like Trump jokes and I like a good Trump joke. The Man Show was pretty good in it's time - they mainly made fun of themselves. What do you think of Trump saying he wants Late Night hosts punished. Doesn't sound good. Sounds like an attack on free speech to me.

Not 75 thanks. Captain Obvious says 'I think there is a multitude of media out there from a whole range of sources to paint a pretty good picture. ' Further he says 'Because something doesn't affect me in my every day life doesn't mean conclusions can't be drawn on the morality of it's leader and social structure'.

If not western media what media? Russian? North Korean? Please tell us your conclusions - are they a happy and free people under a benevolent leader. Geez Frank. Back on topic one can only hope Trump faces consequences for what he actually did.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 90/100 My Time 111 seconds  

You have to be careful as you may well know - gifting the house to an individual or trust , or relinquishing control of a trust if one is set up already, could have implications. Thus your comment about doing it a long time before.

Get with it. No one much drinks Fosters in Australia. It's 2024. Not 1984.

Your key claim is that Harris will lose big in North Carolina and a factor in that is the performance of Mark Robinson is it not. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/will-mark-robinson-derail-trumps-chances-in-north-carolina https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/20/mark-robinson-trump-campaign-election-2024/ https://www.newsweek.com/north-carolina-polling-mark-robinson-scandal-1959015

Yes the North Carolina Republican candidate Mark Robinson is all class. Likely the most appalling Republican candidate in all of the USA and that's saying something.

The only people who want Vegemite are Australians and so they have to import in relatively low quantities and this pushes the price up.

If you are on the pension and don't own a home in Australia you can get accommodation for an amount deducted from the pension and most other costs for free. Helped some family find a pretty nice home. Some not so nice to be fair.

A lot of wild assumptions there. Sound like you have some preconceived notions based on nothing much. Why I can't be sure.

Thanks Captain Obvious

The interesting thing isn't Trump. He's pretty dull. The interesting thing is the part of human nature that made him a thing. Popular. Believed. Thanks for reading this comment indirectly about Trump.

No. Not on an election topic.

But that's the existence of a building. For issues requiring intelligence, investigation and facts and evidence I'll go with those with a reputation - established media backed up with evidence - not youtube guy saying what he thinks based on secret sources. By all means listen to the latter if you like - sometimes they'll have worthwhile things to say - but without evidence you can't really of course draw conclusions. Some get on here saying there's election fraud or whatever based on so little actual evidence. I hear people say the concept of needing fact checking is like a form of censorship - that's a slippery slope to simply saying nothing can be proven so I'll believe what feels right. Pure Trumpism. Let's not talk about Trumps tacky comments and lies about the twin towers and 9/11 - that's a consistent theme of Trump but a different story.
