He ALSO recently did a TACO on his TikTok ban. No wonder no one takes him seriously (except for his deranged cult followers).

More rubbish back at you, you obviously don't know what you're talking about. I've worked at both private and international schools. Private schools will NEVER pay you enough to save and retire comfortably. This attracts the dregs who aren't in it for the long haul. The international schools I worked at were head and shoulders about the rest. Professional, well run institutions with actual career instructors.

So Japan buying what was once the greatest company in the world is winning? "US Steel was once a symbol of American industrial dominance. It was the most valuable company in the world and the first to be worth $1 billion, soon after its creation in 1901." - The World According To Grok

I've only seen a few places that had open dual pricing, and the markup was insignificant. I pick up my passport tomorrow with a freshly minted extension - there was no complicated bureaucratic process, same as every year. Fear mongering article seeking clicks and traffic.

The girls are generally under no contractual obligation which would require a purchase of their freedom. They can just walk away, but they will never work at that bar nor any within the jungle telegraph broadcasting range of that bar.

Never fails to give me a chuckle!

I can just about SMELL this picture. As Homer says, "mmmmmmmmmm."

Or making Pattaya seem that much more appealing . . .

Were you able to post that without gagging? EVERY time someone voices an opinion the mad king doesn't like, they are threatened emphatically with being "primaried." You know better than that, or at least I thought you did.

Democratic "leadership" has turned its back on its constituents as evidenced by recent elections. It's going to be difficult to repair that perception of betrayal, certainly more than the next several election cycles, and certainly not by the same old white guys. I really hope I'm wrong about this, time will tell.

I would use your avitar were it available.

How many times have we all secretly hoped the country of Niger would have to come up for him to talk about?

You left out "seasogender," a gender identity where an individual's gender is linked to the seasons, either experiencing a connection to one specific season or having their gender expression and identity shift with the changing seasons. S M F H

On a paint color chart, the residents skin would not be considered a neutral hue.

Similar cases like this will happen more and more. Household debt is at a record high. According to Grok, In the fourth quarter of 2024, the household debt-to-GDP ratio was at 88.4%. As well, Grok tells us Thailand is the second-largest economy in Southeast Asia, after Indonesia, but the income inequality is a major concern. This is not sustainable.

I have always told anyone who asks about teaching in Thailand that it's a nice paid vacation for a year or two, but if you don't tap into the international school system then it's not a good career choice. The largest private school system in Southeast Asia will start you out at 35k/month (they used to pay 30k for non-degree holders but immigration put an end to that), give you little to no pay bumps, and should you stick it out long enough to get close to 50k/month. they kick you to the curb. International schools start about twice that and all the additional perks make it an actual career.

Ask yourself - HONESTLY - if Padilla was instead named Representative Jones, or Smith, and had a white hue to his skin, behaving in the exact same manner (asking a question as is his right and his responsibility), would he have been treated the same way?

Living proof for that saying "Some people would whinge if you hung them with a new rope."

Someone insulting another's thought process by telling them they will keep "loosing." We don't usually comment on grammar or spelling, but you just bent over and said "take me" with that one.

Of course this leaves the question hanging in the air - in your opinion, who's the worst?

It's been well documented that he loves the uneducated, and they love him back cuz he speaks at their level.

For starters, how about roughly 44 million people are now enrolled in health coverage through the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare, according to a KFF analysis. https://www.kff.org/affordable-care-act/press-release/affordable-care-act-marketplace-and-medicaid-expansion-enrollment-reached-a-combined-44-million-in-2024/

It's not BS, this has been a well-stablished fact since his first term.

The "what-aboutism" is strong with this one.

Back in the day, there was a ladyboy bar near the Mermaids Dive Center on Soi Whitehouse in Jomtien. One day as us Instructor trainees were waiting for the baht bus to arrive to load with equipment, this one particularly ugly ladyboy walked past us with a very drunken customer in tow. Now, we labeled this lb "Shrek" as the ugly was strong with that one - didn't even try to hide the wadded up toilet paper he/she was using to pad the halter top. S/He leaned back, looked us all straight in the eye, and gave us a huge "wink" knowing she had caught a live one. We had a great laugh over that, Shrek was ugly but a good sport. As you said, "You can’t make this sh*te up."
