Ignorance is bliss.

Like the B.S. EO about lowering medication prices, be sure to check whether anything actually happens as a result of Kennedy yapping. Surely there are food industry lobbies that won't be too happy.

Yes really. I didn't email anyone about my passport status. I did not register for email updates on the official passport status page. I had checked a few days ago and it said no record yet. Dude, why would i lie about a thing like this?!? That would be insane. Anyway, I did get the email today completely 100 percent unsolicited. I was happy to see that they got it of course. I was planning on checking again on the official site on Monday. Maybe they will keep sending status updates but I can always check on the official status page.

As far as the Thai law is concerned it's irrelevant if negative comments you make are true and provable or not. For example, you can publicly report that you were at a restaurant and big fat rat jumped on your table and stole your pizza and have a flippin' video of the incident, and that would NOT be a defense.

Well today I got an email from the State Department saying my passport application is being reviewed and "in process" and was received two days earlier. I hadn't registered for such notifications. So it took a total of twelve days from the date it was received at the Bangkok embassy to be recorded as received by the state department. The email states an expected waiting time of between four and six weeks from the date of receipt by the state department though of course it could hopefully be less. I'm assuming that timing doesn't include mailing to Thailand and the mailing within Thailand. Not clear whether the more recent reports a one month wait time from time of receipt at the embassy are still relevant but at this point that seems optimistic.

I'm in favor of any good policies propagated by the worse presidential administration in American history. But people need to keep in mind that there is a big difference between just saying stuff and actually doing them. Mr. Trump recently signed an EO calling for low medication prices. There is nothing in the way of an actual implementation plan about that or even a concept of a plan. So chances of the EO actually coming into effect are close to ZERO. This is a good propaganda tool because it fools the suckers to think that Trump is actually doing something to help anyone other than his billionaire cronies and any foreign despot willing to give him a big enough bribe.

No rizz.

Why do that?

So killing random Jews is helpful?

The man was. The woman wasn't He was out to kill some random Jews is all.

Yeah there are plenty of Jews to kill in Chicago but he wanted to make a bigger media splash. Be clear the so called Free Palestine brigade see this Jew hating terrorist as a hero.

No. He was trying to kill Jews.

Yeah that's my point. The Thai way brings more harmony but at a price.

The youmg couple both worked at the embassy but only the man was an Israeli citizen. It's looking like the killer was out to murder any random Jews not specifically Israeli officials. I looked at a FB post about this. Most celebrated the killer as a hero. This one maybe OK to send to El Salvador. Joking.

US brand. All related. It's in the toilet. Brand is trash and the world wants much less US stuff including dollars, bonds, a ND stocks.

Trump trashing NATO Trump betraying Ukraine Trump sucking up to Putin Trump stepping down from leader of the free world to join the autocratic world Trump voting with North Korea in the UN Trump's tariff war on the world not even based on the other nation's tariffs but stupidly on trade deficits Failing to seek allies in addressing the real China trade problems; instead totally alienating such previous allies Threatening the sovereignty of Panama, Mexico, and Nato members Canada and Denmark Killing USAID previously a great help with US soft power the effect will be millions of preventable deaths abroad Violating US press freedoms and failure to uphold the US Constitution A justice system now totally corrupted not working for the people but only for Trump A foreign policy based solely on corrupt financial benefit for Trump, his family, and billionaire cronies The American brand under Trump. From Reagan's shimg city on a hill to Trump's steaming pile of horse s.

It's about much more than that.

America actually is a brand. Not surprised that you don't know that. www.thewrap.com/trump-trade-war-ken-griffin-damaging-american-brand/

Worse but it'll take maga cultists rather longer to realize that their totally incompetent dear leader has damaged the American brand permanently. Nobody trusts the US any more even very long term close allies and they're right to not trust us. I suppose Americans collectively deserve the pain we're in for as somehow he managed to take power again.

There were some very strong clues that this film was going to be shambolic but I gave it a go anyway. Trastevere 1971 Italian comedy (but not funny) One time director -- never another. No reviews at all found. Was heavily cut in editing. Trastevere (film) - Wikipedia www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trastevere_(film) Oddly, it held my interest enough to watch it. It's named on what was back then a newly trendy bohemian very old district in Rome. Still there of course but no doubt gentrified by now. Although not a documentary it felt a bit like time travel. It showed various 1970's characters like drug addicts, hippies, alienated Americans, delusional locals, fake artists, deliciously filthy language, a mildly predatory middle aged queen, a boatload of old religiously fanatic though sinning Italian grandmas, a vain actor with a lost dog named Mao. I guess there was a little bit of a Fellini factor as many of the obvious non professional actors were kind of freakish and fun to gawk at. Story line and plot very weak. But overall a satisfying enough escapist experience. A bad movie but a better than that experience. So you really never know until you have a look.

An interesting aspect is that this proposed BS plan won't ban recreational use. Hope it doesn't happen it all, but that part is encouraging.

Thailand's government IS on the right wing side of the spectrum. I'm not Thai so it doesn't really bother me. It would if I was Thai. As far impact on immigration, well, I'm not an immigrant so it's a matter of following their visa rules which I've been able to handle up till now. If later I can't, there are other countries.

Oh I get it. You're just a hater of Israel who is LYING. Sneezing, huh? Don't be absurd. It wasn't a robbery. DUH! Again, I don't approve of murdering diplomats of any country anywhere, but the key question here is whether the killer knew they were Israeli officials or was just targeting likely to be random Jews. The former is arguably a politically motivated act. Just killing Jews for being Jews is another thing entirely.

Not in any way a common reaction to cannabis even at very high doses. I don't believe it was in this case either. Perhaps the guy was mentally ill and/or took something stronger.

Yep. The criminally corrupt grifter has damaged the American brand PERMANENTLY. Americans will be much poorer nation because of our moron president. Except for his billionaire cronies of course. Enough to make all decent Americans VOMIT.
