Vance isn't that young! No, wait.............yes, he is. He'll be 44 in '28 when he starts his first term as president...........'bout half the age of our current vegetable and 'bout two decades younger than Joe's DEI hire.

Like, with a cloth?

What are you talking about? Nothing is free. Just because it doesn't appear as a line-item on the bill, doesn't mean you aren't paying for it.

Lost what plot? OP starts a thread implying Thailand is too damn expensive because he found a meh meal for not to many pesos. My comment was that it's not just a single anecdote that makes the claim valid, must consider all expenses. The claim may be true for OP due to excessive medical expenses, which would be valid if he caught food poisoning from the meal in question.

You're already paying double for a beach condo, double for water, and double for phone/internet. I assume the previous tenant couldn't afford to run the AC.

How much is your rent, your water, your electric, your cell phone? And after you've spent most of your pension paying for those, can you still afford to dine out?

On the another hand, why do communistic, socialist left-wing slaves vote for their plantation masters?

Yes, interesting. The folks earning higher incomes, who actually hold the power to write the regulations, are going to lower the top income tax bracket. They've already made capital gains on stock sales tax free. The majority of the population, who don't make enough to pay income tax, will see VAT increased on all the noodles and inner tubes and plastic buckets they can currently afford.

Can't they just blame "brake failure" and call it a day?

The Biden administration rang up a budget topping $1.8 trillion in fiscal 2024, up more than 8% from the previous year and the third highest on record.

You man be correct for once. I suspect the vast majority voted "NOT Harris, anyone but Harris!"

Already sorted: Two of 15 Thai fishing vessels were fired at after they operated 4-5.7 nautical miles (7.4-10.6 km) inside Myanmar's territorial waters, spokesperson Thanatip Sawangsang said in a statement. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/myanmar-navy-fires-thai-fishing-boats-detains-31-fishermen-thailand-says-2024-11-30/

Strange, I haven't heard the terms "Abrams", "Leopard", "Challenger", "Patriot",. or gosh "F-16" in a month of wunderwaffles.

The US Navy strappy sandals unit was deployed on a covert transmission?

Perhaps that's exactly what the Myanmar navy were doing. Showing the serial poachers who's da boss.

Whew! Scared me there for a second. I thought they were going to recommend that "at-risk persons" alter their chosen lifestyles. But can't have that. No way!

Are you that Italian backpacker..................?

You didn't get the memo? The ICC has suddenly and conveniently been cancelled, war crimes indictments are to be ignored.

Reading comprehension, sir. With glasses on this time.

How many American citizens did he order be executed by drone strike without trial? Asking for a friend on the Nobel Prize board.

From what I've read on this here forum, it's the exact opposite. If you go to immigration and admit your overstay, you get fined AND deported. Advice here over the past few years has been to get to the airport ASAP while avoiding any police interactions. If you make it safely to the airport, you can pay a fine and leave.

They're not felons if they aren't convicted. Founding fathers include slave owners, pedophile child rapists, smugglers, tax evaders, racist demagogues, and all guilty of treason.
