Weren't they projecting just last week Chinese tourists were NOT coming to Thailand?

Two parts to this. 1. "But quite another to encourage others to support and aid terrorism." You mean like that guy did to incite the January 6 riot? 2. "I would love to see what would happen to you if you went and stood outside your embassy protesting against something Thailand was doing." False equivalency, Thailand is not a democratic republic.

He is correct in what he says, basically if immigrants break the law then they can be deported. What has made this a hot issue is ICE has arrested an immigrant for protesting on a college campus. No charges have been filed, be broke NO laws, but because he was pro-Palestinian in his protest sentiment, he was arrested. This is how it starts.

Jeezuz, I'm trying to DEFEND your inanity and you throw INSULTS?!? That's not only thin-skinned but really stoopid [sic]. FOAD buddy, no more defending the indefensible.

But the real question on everyone's mind: Did any of them have a bigger tallywhacker than you?

For those who are unfamiliar with the term, from Google AI: "Jackanory" is the name of a BBC children's TV show that ran from 1965 to 1996. It also refers to a phrase used to indicate that someone is lying or making up a story.

Send DOGE over to investigate this.

It SHOULD collapse. The new DNC leader could not be more milk toast white bread unless he was Mike Pence. Business as usual will not be tolerated any more.

The Dogebag Dotards eliminated a section of Social Security that had the word "transformation" in its title. This department worked on agency-wide initiatives like removing requirements for wet signatures on SSA forms and launching digital signatures and electronic document uploads at the agency. This hurts innocent families who now can't pay their bills. But hey, the waffling policies on tariffs are making prices skyrocket and creating an unstable economy, former allies around the globe are realizing they can no longer trust Murikkka and are striking back (example: Canada has pulled all US-made alcohol off its shelves, a $1 Billion/year industry), and on and on and on and . . . Yes, I AM sick of all this "winning."

You gotta hand it to the French, they know how to revolt. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250303-dozen-teslas-torched-outside-french-dealership-authorities

This message from Colbert to those Dem "leaders":

You really don't understand, well, much of anything it seems.

Not your call, merely your opinion.

This answer from Musk's AI chatbot "Grok" about 47 being a Russian asset: "I estimate a 75-85% likelihood that Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end (around 85%) due to the cumulative weight of historical patterns, financial incentives, and his unwavering refusal to challenge Putin," Grok stated.

So are treaties the US has signed simply forgotten because the political winds shifted? https://1997-2001.state.gov/regions/nis/fs-us_ukr_970618.html#:~:text=In January 1994%2C the U.S.,the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.

How quickly we forget. Ukraine gave up all the nuclear weapons that were stored there with an agreement the US would protect it from further aggression. THAT'S why we need to stand up for them. Promises made, promises kept.

10,000 arrests in one week? Am I the only one having trouble believing that number?

I'm selling my rental in Washington state, and Washington state law requires carbon monoxide alarms regardless of whether ir not gas is available to the dwelling.

So many arguments seeking a venue on this forum.
