Trump is dominating the primaries. That doesn’t mean he’ll beat Biden
Yes quite shocking. Pity that it's the truth. Racial resentment: The insidious force that divides America | Berkeley Opinion | Just how racist is the MAGA movement? This survey measures it. - The Washington Post It has long been understood that the MAGA movement is heavily dependent on White grievance and straight-up racism. (Hence Donald Trump’s refusal to disavow racist groups and his statement that there were “very fine people on both sides” in the violent clashes at the white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville.) Now, we have numbers to prove it.

It's fair to assume that people who talk that way are referring to the fact that white people are becoming a minority, and they don't like it. Maga of course among other things is about white resentment.

The Hit And Run Restaurant "review" Thread
New apparently gourmet level Turkish restaurant opens in South Pattaya. Istanbul Restaurant Pattaya Tai (near 2nd road corner) I have eaten at the Turkish restaurants in Pattaya over the years and also been to Turkiye, and it's obvious to me just by looking at the menu that this new one is at a higher level than ever seen before here. Of course the proof is in the eating but I can tell you there are dishes on their menu that you've never seen before. Clearly to have a full meal there, it won't be cheap, as you'll need multiple dishes (similar to a full Indian meal) but the prices don't seem extortionate at the per dish level. I guess going in a group and just ordering mezzes to share would cut the per person cost down. As people try this place, please report back here your impressions on specific dishes.

No. Magas are magas. Old style Republicans are the only real Republicans remaining. Calling them rinos is a maga gaslighting game. .

You seem confused. The most vocal anti-Trump forces are coming from conservative republicans like the Lincoln Project. Being anti maga is NOT about right vs. left.

Tucker Carlson Goes to Moscow?
You're more optimistic than me. Magas stay magas no matter what. It's a cult. It requires professional deprogramming to have any hope of shaking them from it.

Automated phone call translation with Samsung S24 Ultra
I checked the local prices on S24 and S24 plus and wow they were much higher than they would be in the U.S. Don't know if that is temporary because of supply and demand though. But basicaly too much money. I can afford a very expensive phone especially considering they are promising updates for seven years but I just feel uncomfortable worrying about loss and theft. Also realistically for how I actually use my phone, the S24 Ultra particularly is an absurd level of overkill. But good news, I have just heard that the AI features (translation is what I really want) will eventually be available on the S23 models. Maybe even fairly soon.

You could do that but you can bet the house it will be all lies.

There are reports from credible people including a staff member on the Apprentice tasked with cleaning his mess. Do your own research as the maga types like to say.

Tucker Carlson Goes to Moscow?
Don't bother. It's a maga thing. Nothing to do with rationality or knowledge but more to do with ideology.

Tucker Carlson Goes to Moscow?
Yeah we can just watch Kremlin propaganda to get all your pro Putin talking points. No need to repeat.

Sleazeball Carlson does support him though.

Biden Widens Lead over Trump in New Poll, Gender Gap Widens
Early polls on this contest are meangless. Will adjudicated rrapist Trump be convinced of a felony before the election? Will the crackpot anti vax Kennedy run third party? Which side would Kennedy hurt? Read a report recently that he'd hurt Trump.

Trump blocking a fix right now because he doesn't want to fix it he just wants the issue to run on. What a truly disgusting person always putting his selfish interests above the country.

Biden Warns of a 'Nightmare' Future with Trump, Lists Reasons for Concern
Trump has already been found guilty of financial and tax fraud, defamation and is an adjudicated rapist. More to come. 91 FELONY charges pending. That's remarkable for any criminal but for an ex president it's beyond unprecedented.

Why are we suddenly allowed to publicly criticize Jews?
In reality unless someone is a radical believer in a world with no borders nationalism is a double edged sword. It often is toxic but it also is often a positive force for the advancement of people in all the various nations. Nationalism wont end regardless. It's naively utopian to think it could. I think it makes sense to acknowledge nationalism as a manifestation of human nature and try to promote the positive aspects of that and oppose the toxic parts.

If you think that likely you really are anti Zionist. Your right but I oppose that.

Why are we suddenly allowed to publicly criticize Jews?
If people are against right wing Israeli government policies they should just say that. To say they are anti Zionist means they are against the right of Israel to exist with any government That's fine if you believe that but the way people use anti Zionist almost always doesn't clarify that vital difference. For example I hate Netanyahu, I've been against the west bank settlement expansions yet as I support the right of Israel to exist and defend itself I am pro Zionist and there should be no shame in being pro Zionist.
