Remember there was a pandemic, snookums? Who's running from his basement now? Trump. Biden will run from the white house not the big house.

A professional trumpist demagogue.

Ya mon.

He's running. He'll be nominated. Incumbents always have a strong advantage. Hardly ludicrous dear.

Memo to self -- ignore all coffee health scare mongering.

The conspiracy theory that Zelinsky is a puppet mirrors the typical right wing conspiracy theory that Biden is a puppet. Utter garbage.

Tucker is the absolute worst.

OK, I didn't read the entire article because migrants trying to survive the killer Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama is very old news. Did the article say why they just didn't fly into Mexico?

*Deleted post edited out* The poll was not conducted by VOA.

Zelensky was very impressive in D.C. A great example of how one man can change the world. Also very humble for a man of the year. Hold your horses on the snipes. Nobody is saying he's perfect or a saint but if he manages to win some kind of lasting victory for Ukraine he'll be their George Washington.

Trumpists are freaking out now that Biden is getting more and more popular and will probably be reelected. Biden even has a shot at being one the greatest US presidents. Trump on the other hand is fighting being imprisoned.

Sounds like Kremlin propaganda.

Anyone who believes all that should be on a lead list of marks to sell the Brooklyn Bridge to.

Yes he knows his base is heavily infected with white supremacists. As long as they like him, he likes them and doesn't want to alienate them. As far as what's in trump's soul if he has one, it is less important.

Yes and it is so much better to have the top leader take the moral stand rather than having a Dine Kampf meal and saying garbage like there are good people on both sides when one side promotes Nazism.

I can't imagine Jews objecting to Biden's support to fight anti Jewish racism during Channukah. To note Channukah is one of the many minor Jewish holidays which has been artificially inflated in the US to make Jewish American children feel better during the Christmas season. Along the lines of Channukah bushes.

Ye is running and he is a vile Jew hater. Trump regularly indulges in antisemitic tropes, rhetoric, and imagery in campaign ads. He recently dined with a Nazi alongside Ye. But yes correct it's definitely not only about presidential candidates. Jews are the biggest target of hate crimes in the US.

My favorite was the defunct Hungry Now. I use Grab, Panda, and Lineman depending on restaurant selection and current promotions. My current favorite restaurant is on Lineman only. The service is acceptable on all three. It really comes down to the drivers rather than the company and all have their share of problematic ones but most are OK..

In Pattaya Fascino still doesn't have it. I found a pharmacy in Jomtien that has 5 and 20 mg but not 10. They can order all you want. It's located on Jomtien 2nd road across from Rompho Market

I have a kind of daily "budget" for out and delivery food which is more like a guideline than anything strict. It's more than doubled over the years. I don’t drink or eat Thai food much. So now I "budget" 500 baht if it's one out meal and 600 for two out meals. Not so rarely about 600 or 700 but then usually with delivery some leftovers to use for special cooking or to add to.a future delivery meal. Typically I'll do one out meal and hitting about 500 more often than not. Sometimes about 300, more rarely about 200 and 0 only a few times a month. Spending 1000 or more for one meal is for celebrations. Yesterday I had an expensive Chinese meal with Sichuan cumin lamb. I'll use the leftover lamb in a pasta with pesto dish that I cook. So as I said before my spending has been trending up but I feel it's totally worth it. I will probably up the "budget" for 2023.

Fantasy time

Yeah bloody Indianesian givers.

Quirky indie New Jersey fun. What's not to like?

Yeah money psychology is a personal thing. For me value is much more important than getting the cheapest. I've noticed since I moved to Thailand that with food spending just a little bit more can often get you much better. On the other hand with Thai food the price is often about how fancy the venue is rather than the best flavor Wine is such a poor value here that I basically gave it up.

Christmas day a good day to clean house. My sponges are verklempt in anticipation.
