  1. Not just King Trump, but MAD King Trump.
  2. Just as the Trump regime has renamed the Gulf of Mexico, they have also radically altered the original meaning of certain words and phrases. Since we're stuck with them for awhile, may as well use this handy guide to navigate the new meanings. www.ordinary-times.com/2025/02/17/from-washington-post-the-trump-lexicon/ From Washington Post: The Trump Lexicon - Ordinary Times The Trump Administration has some verbiage that might have folks wondering if those words they keep using mean what they thought they mean. (Covered: ‘Transparency’ ‘Free Speech’ ‘Fraud and abuse’)
  3. This is an interesting one. The Phone2 company's core business is second phone numbers for businesses. However, they are now heavily promoting to the digital nomad market for both a U.S. or Canadian phone number abroad AND the rather bold claim that you can reliably get 2FA codes with it! (You can even choose your area code to match your U.S. or Canadian address.) Why bold? Because it's VOIP but they say it's a different kind of VOIP and as many know VOIP numbers are NOT a reliable solution for getting 2FA codes. I do have a reference that I trust from an expat in South America that bought the service and he says it DOES work for his codes. So why no try it out? Not so fast. There are some catches. They have a Google Play app and an Iphone Ipad app, but also a web app. The Google app is blocked for download in Thailand and don't even think that just using a VPN would make it viable to use here. I'm assuming that it's probably also blocked for Iphone but I don't know that for sure. Communicating to the company, they say that we CAN use their web app in Thailand though. That's for all their services including making and getting voice calls. However if you want to send SMS you need to pay a substantial fee for business registration annually. But not registering, you can still get your codes. Here's the big fun point of this! They have a limited time "lifetime" offer of 99 dollars which expires very soon, probably end of February or maybe they'll extend it. Or you can pay by the month, about 18. The SMS registration is included with that. So you see the lifetime 99 would be a good deal IF it actually works for codes AND the company stays in business. Looking ahead, it's fair to assume that banks might advance to block their numbers same as VOIP over time anyway. So all in all, a questionable value over time. But certainly interesting. Here is the link for the 99 deal: https://phone2.io/ltd BTW, I did some online research on the company and it appears to NOT be a scam. In other words you will get their phone services if you pay. But of course "lifetime" deals are always a gamble and they are only saying 2FA codes should work NOW but they can't possibly guarantee that over time. There is money back guarantee good for 30 days but I'm not clear if they applies to the 99 deal.
  4. Don't even try to sane wash what Trump did this time.
  5. "President" Trump -- the "gift" (grift) of chaos and flooding the zone with disruption that keeps on giving.
  6. Shortest "presidential" honeymoon ever! I put that in quotes because he and his cult don't view him as a regular president. They view him as God King. It'll take a lot more horribleness to lose much of his core cult (about 30 percent) and uh oh they have guns.
  7. Not hard at all. Bringing Trump back to power after what he did January 6 was the most colossal error in American history.
  8. Bizarre post. Netanyahu is not an Israeli tourist or expat in Thailand.
  9. The leopard is coming for your face too.
  10. I think it's even worse. I don't think it matters to him if they do. He's literally above the law and his cult supports him no matter what, and they have GUNS.
  11. Maybe the Thais need to build a big beautiful wall!
  12. There is no excuse for that human stain. But it's true he was voted in. So as the American empire rapidly declines thanks to Trump, it will be fair to say it was an own goal. Our Allies Must Abandon America, For Their Own Good | Opinion
  13. Only correction is that we are ALREADY in a very dark place but of course there is plenty of room to get much much darker. Trump is basically a Putin operative now. That's why I call him a TRAITOR.
  14. The current leader of the free world is Volodymyr Zelensky.
  15. I agree. Trump is insane. But knowing that doesn't help anyone.
  16. That's silly. The Russia-China nexus is solid. Also Trump caving to Putin will embolden Xi to attack Taiwan. If Putin can get away with it, why not him?
  17. Pure mafia boss move. The current president of the United States is truly disgusting. No wonder he loves Putin. Two peas in a pod.
  18. So Putin-Trump are gonna have a "deal" for Ukraine -- like mafia bosses an offer they can't refuse. So what happens if Ukraine declines? Predictably Trump will cut off all aid and that may probably be fatal to Ukraine in itself but my question is what other types of pressure could he apply?
  19. The moral depravity of the felonious psychopathic narcissist occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is as wide as El golfo de México and as tall as Mt. Denali. What a time to be Z fascist Russian champagne dealer in Moscow!
  20. Trump is totally disgusting. So much damage in a few weeks. It's hard to imagine what he's capable of doing in four years.
  21. Do you think Jewish doctors are treating Muslim patients unfairly? Your post what just lame deflection from the issue at hand.
  22. They not only would NOT care, they would celebrate it with trolling MEMES involving lots of frogs. Face it, his cult basically worships him, and he has set them loose for "legal" violence after his pardons of the Jan 6 crew of violent criminals.
