Today there was a Hong Kong ad that made the forum completely unusable. I changed browsers on my mobile and it's OK for now. PC still tons of ads but usable. The Hong Kong ad was more like a virus.

Kevin McCarthy?

How much more do non-maga Americans (the vast majority) need to take of this MADNESS?!? 'We know he's insane': Former Trump pal claims he's 'shriveling away' as pressure mounts - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism Shouldn't he face fresh felony charges just for this? What other American could get away with this? Seriously, if you did something like this towards to a public official, wouldn't you be expecting a knock on the door from the FBI almost instantly? Anger as Trump posts picture of himself wielding baseball bat next to Alvin Bragg’s head (yahoo.com) The use of a bat has nothing to do with playing baseball. He's acting out bashing a prosecutor's head and it's clearly yet another dog horn to the most unhinged of his violent cult member followers.

Say hi to Tucker.

There appears to be some confusion here about acts vs. Identify. Let's use Nazis to shed light on this. Nazi's goal was to murder all Jews. It made no difference whether a Jew went to temple, was observant or not. Simply the identity of being a Jew was enough. Nazis used ancestry going back. Jews often use having a Jewish mother or not. So that should make it simple for everyone to understand that acts and identity are DIFFERENT. Uganda had criminalized LGBT acts as in sex acts. The change is about also criminalizing LGBT IDENTITY and also those who know of LGBT people and don't report them. A very serious escalation. If it was only sex acts most people could be safe if they were careful to be very private about their sex acts. Expansion to identity and reporting makes it almost impossible to evade these laws. There are those right wingers who assert LGBT identity doesn’t exist. That view is ignorant and wrong.

Of course not. Tha H

The truth is that the USA seems to be going off the rails that so many Americans actually believe this garbage. But it is catchy. Related to this topic because if Trump won (he didn’t) He would still.be president [he isn't) Which means he couldn't be indicted (he can be)

It is not true.

People trying to trivialize what Uganda is doing or resorting to Muslim whatsboutism make me wonder if they support what Uganda is doing. It's important to note that the anti gay movement in Uganda has been heavily influenced by American fascist Christian evangelicals. These American fascists are trying to do similar evil things in the US in the name of religion. They have had great success recently viciously scapegoating transgender Americans specifically. https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/03/19/africa-uganda-evangelicals-homophobia-antigay-bill/ How U.S. Evangelicals Helped Homophobia Flourish in Africa Anti-gay sentiment had previously existed on the continent, but white American religious groups have given it a boost.

Not only about behaviors! It's about behaviors AND Identity AND not reporting people that you know with the criminalized identity. In some ways much worse than many Muslim countries.

So no Shakespeare then?

‘Your Honor’ Ending With Season 2 at Showtime — Bryan Cranston Drama | TVLine

Some are saying the vomit scene was too much. Woody Harrelson was brilliant as the communist ship's captain. You didn't like OK it's your taste.

That happened to me too. I recognized the movie to have substance but decided I just wasn't in the mood for it at that time. But it's definitely on my list for later when I am in the mood even before the awards.

Well up.to you but the film is a SATIRE and often satire doesn’t play like less sophisticated laugh out loud comedy. It's a head laugh. I do strongly defend the movie. It's award winning and the cliffhanger ending will have you searching online for clues. Also to note the South African actress that played the strikingly beautiful female model character Charlbi Dean has tragically died of a sudden illness.

Your Honor season 2 turned out to be excellent. But now it's really over

In fairness, Russians know they are a pariah nation now to westerners. Thailand is more or less neutral on the war, but I would guess Russians will be even more insular here than before. Even if they're anti Putin, to westerners, they are Russians, and we don't know what they are.

It's gonna be wild (Jan 6) Stand back and stand by (Proud boys) Here he goes again. Trump, as stated before, like a Mafia Boss, speaks in code. The violent white nationalist right wing extremists know the code. It's not that hard to know but he hopes it give him plausible deniability. He's a freakin' menace to society! Trump sending a coded message to the far-right with the location of next rally: experts - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism Another thing to note. Trumpist incited violence won't necessarily be where the feds expect it like New York, DC, and Atlanta. It can happen anywhere in the U.S.

That's a good list. I know many of those but obviously not all. Phaenang doesn’t belong as number one. That's crazy! Some dishes that are missing. Doro wat Ethiopian chicken Stew Fesenjen Persian pomegranate chicken Stewed Chicken mole Mexican includes chocolate Chinese clay pot cuisine There are so many though. My favorite is probably oyster with roast pork. I have yet to find a Chinese restaurant in Thailand with a good clay pot menu. Sigh.

Perhaps it's stew-ish?

Somebody is nobody but they get around.

Fair maybe but that's double the fare.

Before we get too smug, I just heard that the Trumpists online are calling for a run on all the banks when Trump gets indicted. I say when, because if not in the Stormy case, it will be somewhere else. Obviously not all of them will do that, but that's the kind of action that could really cause havoc ... globally. Trump Supporters Plan Bank Run to Protest His Arrest (newsweek.com)

Yes but many want to leave for good and options for stable permanent residency are very limited for most Russians. So many are stressed about that, finances, and leaving their friends/ family/property back in Z-land. Also their government has said some very nasty things about them and some of their friends and family likely agree with that.

It's definitely the case and you would know that if you did any basic research. Putin's propaganda is very effective. But younger Russians do tend to be less likely to be Z Zombies. Avoiding the draft does not mean anti-war. Only a small percentage are activists.
