No one with a lick of sense voted for him, they voted against Harris.

Christ, you take deflection to a new low.

All politicians stretch the truth, it's what they do. THIS guy straight out says black is white, up is down, I won't cut old folks' benefits as I look into how to cut old folks' benefits, I won't separate families as I establish putting kids in foster homes to separate families, etc. Old folks are NOW starting to worry about the cuts coming and have openly asked this liar not to f*** them over because they voted for him. Fools!

Cleans out the waste every night then I come back here to fill it up again.

You deserve the leaders you elect, and DON'T try any of that bullsh!t President Musk wasn't elected. You knew fully well it was a package deal.

Boneheads gonna bonehead.

Hmmm: Fireworks are not legal in Thailand without a license from the local registrar. Somehow I think this Bozo was unlicensed.

They're still a ways off from developing a nuclear powered aircraft carrier.

You just KNOW Tricky Dick Nixon is FURIOUS how he got nailed for so much less. Absolutely rolling in his grave.

Admits to being in a constant weed-induced fog. I don't block cuz it's morbidly entertaining to see the posts, kinda like witnessing a train wreck.

"Biggliest" crowd.

What? Are you saying they didn't think this through to its logical conclusion?!? Perish the thought!

I'm certainly not defending their actions. Rather, the underlying issue is what other choices do they have? What upward mobility opportunities are afforded to ANY youth? I think about this frequently, looking at my students and wondering what they will do after graduation. My students are largely middle class. No parents dropping their kids off in BMW's, and it appears many parents are barely able to afford sending them to a private school. Poverty is a man-made construct, and until that is remedied, you will have frustrated youth doing whatever they can to get "ahead," and Thailand doesn't have a monopoly on this problem.

Jeezuz, talk about brainwashed. Let's just see a year from now how well your spew of Fox rhetoric ages.

Their "fix" is to rob from those who can least afford it and give it to the billionaires via tax breaks. They spent months denying/lying about any association with Project 2025, and now that the election is over, they don't need to hide/lie about it any more. If any of the Republicans had a spine, they'd fight against it, but that ship has obviously sailed. https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-budget/house-republican-agendas-and-project-2025-would-increase-poverty-and

I'll take your word for it, it's depressing enough knowing what I already know. I don't need to heap more downer evidence than there already is.

The market crash is already warming up after the longest losing streak since 1946. https://www.fool.com.au/2024/12/18/the-dow-jones-is-on-its-longest-losing-streak-in-46-years-whats-going-on/

Is that sarcasm?

Not wasting any more time on this. You're either intentionally or unintentionally not seeing what the rest of us do.

They don't want none of them Arabic numbers, they want them purebred Murikkkan numbers! Make Murikkka Grate Agin!

It seems you are missing all the points lately. Maybe put the pipe or tins down, clear up a little, and rethink things.

You keep digging buddy, there's no end to this hole.

No, it looked exactly like an implication.

I just celebrated my 20th anniversary of moving to Thailand last October. Initially, I needed to get out of the states cuz I just couldn't STAND the police state it was becoming. Two reasons to select Thailand were they hosted one of the best Scuba Instructor courses in the world, and the speed limit was basically how fast can your vehicle go? I've always made at least one trip per year to visit family and friends, and I'm reminded each time why I don't live there. The air is dirty, too many pollutants are killing the insects, all the creeks I used to go hunt tadpoles in are fenced off/cemented over, etc. Perfect example of Cat Stevens' "Where Do The Children Play?"
