I think you'd be surprised at how many people are deadly serious. The answer will certainly be many less than will claim they would be willing to do so but there's still plenty of true believers. I think it can mainly be sheeted back to the southern baptist church and evangelical organisations.

That's not true. The reason they don't want to count them is because the numbers don't look good for them. "Colour blind" aka "not counting colour" is also a dog whistle for anti affirmative action.

The secret service refusing to testify to the house committee, huh? The treason runs deep. These guys are supposed to work for the government, not the President.

hmm, maybe I missed something. It was probably the wannabe confederate general then.

It's the most common stated reason for second amendment crazies to want to own assault type rifles. The results are not surprising.

No, it's unconstitutional. Realistic it would never occur anyway. Red states can't afford to seceed. So in aggregate, the federal government transfers wealth from the blue states to the red states. Blue staters, on the other hand, ease the consumption gap by saving more and purchasing durable goods. Of course, poorer households often cannot save and thus must rely on fiscal transfers, so this red state-blue state gap might just be the result of wealth disparities between the two cohorts. https://blogs.cfainstitute.org/investor/2018/03/13/red-states-blue-states-two-economies-one-nation/

Farage was the hero of Brexiteers, spurred along by Russian interference.

"If he [Trump] does announce, he could actually cost the Republicans the House as well as the Senate," he bluntly stated. "If the election is about the economy, Republicans win both. If the election is about Donald Trump, Republicans lose both." https://www.rawstory.com/trump-midterms/

Where did you get 40% from? Your link shows crop and livestock laborers born outside the US to be much higher. I know that illegals don't necessarily correlate exactly but I'd say most were since the low unemployment rate means that many legal immigrants could get better jobs.

Graham won't even consider nominating while Trump is still on the scene. After Trump insulted Graham's wife he became his biggest sycophant. For this reason alone he'd never get elected. The GOP will win with Trump, De Santis or nobody.

How long did it take Ken Starr to investigate Clinton without coming up with any substantive charges? It was several years. There never were any on the original complaint.

Remainers knew exactly why brexiteers were voting for it. In a word, xenophobia, without understanding how the economy runs. No other issue mattered at all to them.

Cut Mon Tong in a punnet was over 500 baht for 500g in a Pattaya supermarket this afternoon.

It's not just social security, it's the entire income tax system which needs increasing numbers of people paying to provide services. The solution is to move to a corporate tax system and a living wage. Many republicans support a living wage because they understand that the corporations can't keep transferring wealth from the middle class to the rich without an eventual backlash. Few corporations pay any meaningful tax but rake in most of the wealth in a system which has been expanding for decades.

Money. Meat, fruit and veges are cheap in the US because of the reliance on illegal labor. Along with farm subsidies, the illegal labor enables US agricultural products to compete internationally.

Political correctness so offends you that you choose to live in a country where is is apparently less so? You might be surprised. http://digital.library.tu.ac.th/tu_dc/frontend/Info/item/dc:89991

Immediately after you left off highlighting, it says that the special grand jury may make criminal referrals to the DoJ as it sees fit, as can the J6 committee.

Agree. Ever since the advent of ATK tests and omicron became the dominant strain people have failed to report infections in droves world wide. People are visiting Thailand now. I have been back here for 2 months and the change has been enormous. On Saturday night Walking Street in Pattaya was packed and I see tourists everywhere in large numbers, not as many as pre-covid for sure but I'd be happier to see fewer of them. Most of the WS bars are open again, as are all the nightclubs.

What some seem to be missing here is that if Thailand was run like most western nations and everything was efficient we wouldn't want to come here. Everything nice about Thailand is because it's a developing nation.

Really? They can't buy a house or car, get a bank account, driver's licence, a decent job, any welfare, health care, etc. Most apply for refugee status in order to remain legal.

"First, Republicans use any means necessary to achieve power and promote their unpopular, extremist, counter-majoritarian agenda," he explained. "Second, they create and promote disinformation and lies to frighten their base and Jedi mind-trick them into believing they are being oppressed by the actual victims." The third step, he explained, is to create a villain and target them. https://www.rawstory.com/how-republicans-brainwash-supporters-columnist/

Very few, if any, people were arrested inside the Capitol building so we will never know. Approximately 140 police officers were assaulted at the Capitol, including about 80 U.S. Capitol Police and about 60 from the Metropolitan Police Department. Approximately $1.5 million in damage to the U.S. Capitol building was done during the attack, according to a May 2021 estimate by the Architect of the Capitol. More than 350 people believed to have committed violent acts on Capitol grounds, including over 250 who assaulted police officers, are still sought by the FBI. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/jan-6-by-the-numbers-775-arrested-1-5m-in-damage-to-capitol/2998034/

This isn't a joke thread. Those links contravene forum rules.

Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) left no doubt that the House committee investigating the Jan. 6th insurrection will definitely consider issuing a subpoena to Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, if she refuses to testify. https://www.rawstory.com/ginni-thomas-2657718889/
