what is required for a re entry permit these days. Around 2000B.....or you could try to negotiate with her to get the price down.

Can't count her......she's had too many partners.....555

No...... this has got to be a wind up....and by a committee.....no one individual can be this dumb....it takes a concerted effort from a number of people to write utter dross like this.

If Trump is what you say, why is there so little difference between them in the polls? $64,000 question.....one I have puzzled over endlessly.......keep holding your breath....55

I really can't see any driver thinking "better check the integrity of the gas tanks".....most wouldn't know what they were looking at or looking for......light checks, yes, brake check as they set off, yes, glance at the tyres, yes.

No way Giuseppe.....I'd rather swim than risk Thai air safety

Why are people getting stressed about the AQI?......The government have repeatedly assured the public it is being closely monitored.

I doubt it.....most can't see that Trump is a disgusting excuse for a human being. If he can lie, cheat on his wife, rape women and dodge the draft........and they think he's still an okay guy......they are not going to see what you claim the corporate media to be doing....5555 You and your 'man' are doomed.

Must be really galling for someone so breathtakingly stupid to still be ahead in most polls and very probably the winner in Nov.

You mean like these dizzy bints as opposed to the likes of Pol Pot, Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Pinochet, Johnson, Netanyahu, Putin, Trump..........et al While some of the female leaders mentioned faced significant challenges or controversies, others are also recognized for notable achievements during their time in power. Let’s look at some who, despite criticism or difficulties, are often considered to have had successful tenures in certain respects: 1. Indira Gandhi (India, 1966–1977, 1980–1984) • Successes: Indira Gandhi is regarded as one of India’s most powerful leaders. Under her leadership: • She oversaw India’s victory in the 1971 war with Pakistan, which led to the creation of Bangladesh. • She initiated the Green Revolution, which significantly increased India’s agricultural productivity and made the country more self-sufficient in food production. • Her efforts in maintaining India’s non-aligned movement during the Cold War are often seen as a significant diplomatic achievement. • Challenges: Her declaration of Emergency (1975-1977) remains one of the most criticized decisions of her career, but her political comeback in 1980 showed her resilience. • Legacy: Indira Gandhi is often remembered as a strong and influential leader despite her controversial policies. 2. Benazir Bhutto (Pakistan, 1988–1990, 1993–1996) • Successes: Benazir Bhutto, the first woman to lead a Muslim-majority country, brought hope for a more modern, democratic Pakistan. Her significant accomplishments include: • Expanding healthcare and women’s rights: Bhutto worked to improve access to healthcare, particularly maternal and child healthcare, and promoted women’s education and participation in politics. • Standing against military dictatorship: Bhutto’s return to Pakistan after her father was executed by a military regime symbolized a restoration of civilian government and democracy. • Challenges: Her administration was plagued by allegations of corruption and political instability, leading to her removal from office twice. • Legacy: Though her legacy is mixed, Bhutto remains a powerful symbol of resistance against authoritarianism, and her advocacy for democracy is seen as a success by many. 3. Aung San Suu Kyi (Myanmar, 2016–2021) • Successes: Aung San Suu Kyi’s leadership was initially hailed as a democratic breakthrough for Myanmar after decades of military rule. • She played a pivotal role in Myanmar’s transition from military dictatorship to a quasi-democratic government. • Her work as a pro-democracy activist, which earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, and her leadership in the National League for Democracy (NLD) won her widespread support at home and abroad. • Challenges: Her failure to address or condemn the military’s persecution of the Rohingya minority seriously damaged her international reputation, leading to widespread criticism. • Legacy: While Suu Kyi’s human rights record is now viewed critically, her role in promoting democracy in Myanmar and standing up to military dictatorship remains a significant achievement in the country’s history. 4. Dilma Rousseff (Brazil, 2011–2016) • Successes: Despite the controversy surrounding her impeachment, Rousseff’s tenure saw some important successes: • She continued and expanded social welfare programs, such as Bolsa Família, which helped lift millions out of poverty. • Rousseff also promoted gender equality and was a strong advocate for environmental protections and renewable energy. • Challenges: The economic downturn during her second term and her involvement in the broader political corruption scandals (though she was not directly implicated in personal corruption) severely damaged her standing. • Legacy: While her impeachment overshadows much of her presidency, she remains an important figure in Brazil’s progressive movement, and some of her social programs have had a lasting impact. 5. Theresa May (United Kingdom, 2016–2019) • Successes: Despite the difficulties surrounding her tenure, especially related to Brexit, May achieved some important milestones: • She oversaw a significant decrease in the national deficit. • May also focused on tackling domestic violence and passed the landmark Domestic Abuse Bill to better protect victims of abuse. • She worked to address the social divide by advocating for policies aimed at reducing the gender pay gap. • Challenges: Her inability to deliver a Brexit deal that satisfied both pro-Brexit and pro-EU factions severely undermined her government. • Legacy: While May is remembered for the difficulties surrounding Brexit, her domestic achievements in social welfare and gender equality are viewed as positive contributions. 6. Angela Merkel (Germany, 2005–2021) • Successes: Merkel is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential female leaders in modern history. Her tenure as Germany’s chancellor is often praised for: • Steadying the Eurozone during the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent European debt crisis. • Championing humanitarian values by opening Germany’s doors to over a million refugees during the migrant crisis of 2015, despite facing backlash. • Leading Germany through multiple economic successes, making it Europe’s largest economy. • Being a key leader in the European Union, Merkel was often seen as the de facto leader of the EU, promoting stability and cooperation. • Challenges: Merkel faced criticism for her refugee policy, which some felt led to social and political unrest, but her overall legacy remains largely positive. • Legacy: Merkel is frequently hailed as a global leader of stability, pragmatism, and moderation, earning her a place among the most successful female leaders in history. While each of these leaders had their challenges, many of them are remembered for significant achievements that shaped their nations and even the world. Leaders like Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, and Aung San Suu Kyi made major strides toward democracy and social progress in their countries, even if their legacies are complicated by later controversies.

The thing that scares me rigid is the thought that 70 plus million people could still vote for him!!.....70 plus million who saw, watched and listened to what he did, what he is like.....and still thought...yep!.... That's the guy for me, that's who I want as the leader of the free world!!!!!

Pretty certain if it had been a free and fair election like Trump demanded it should be... .....he would have be looking at a loss nearer 10 million.

Thinking of doing something similar........4 months UK, 4 Thailand, 4 Philippines....life is too short.

You are a prime example (assuming this isn't a massive wind up) of why religion ****s up this world we live in. Why is 'your' God any better than any other God.....? Do you never think....what if my parents had been Buddhists?......or atheists?....Your are just a product of indoctrination that has arisen from where/how you were raised.

What are you on? No one is afraid to ask.....because no one cares if it is a man or a woman.....the only question is what are the likely outcomes of their policies.

Should a man who is a proven liar, rapist, wife cheater and draft dodger (no names) be allowed to hold office?......OF COURSE HE SHOULD....he's a man for God's sake.

Got that far and then thought oh <deleted>.

Had the chop...twice.

Calm down dear, calm down.

Yes....but 'we' call it domestic violence.

I guess 'noun not verb' went over his head.

She might have no money or very little....not everyone has money like expats......I take it you live in a cave and are happy see your partner beg and scrape for your leftovers as you play the 'big I am'..... Who the **** has a relationship with their daughter........are you from hillbilly country?

It would certainly make the leaseholder think carefully about their returns......which would benefit the government also re: tax take.

The world needs MTG....she knows how to control the weather and stop this happening.
