Ignorant voters thirsty for fascism. I alone can fix it, my <deleted>.

I know that.

Yeah it's early. Why did he announce so early? Because he thought incorrectly it would shield him from potential indictments.

OK. The plot thickens. But that doesn't prove anything. Could have suffered from Internalized homophobia and or been protecting a closet with hate speech. Not uncommon at all.

He grew up in gun culture areas. LGBT are human. It's not a group of angels. Try visiting the hot bars in West Hollywood if you're over 30. I'm not really a specialist in such matters but I recall it was reported that the shooter at the Pulse nightclub massacre had been there before for hookups. Again I don't know the motive. Just speculation. If I'm right usually such people would have committed suicide instead.

I really don't know and probably nobody else does except the shooter. However as speculation is afoot my guess at this point is that the shooter is queer and didn't feel accepted by the local queer community. If they weren't accepting who would be? Can queer on queer violence be a hate crime? I think yes.

Well in Colorado that wouldn't add anything to a sentence. But perhaps a gambit just to muddy the waters. Remember defense attorneys only need one juror to see reasonable doubt.

Total bull. Nobody wants this brushed under.

Before this stuff about the shooter maybe being non binary came out I saw the person's picture. My immediate thought was oh my something is up here as it shows a very puffy quite unattractive soft young person. I wondered if this was kind of a queer version of incels in other words perhaps trouble getting laid so lashing out at the community the shooter thinks the shooter deserves to be thirsty for the shooter. To that I will add mainstream gay male culture in the west is brutally looksist. Not sure though if the non binary claim is true or not. Could be a cynical defense gambit.

Yes.

I'm using live.shoot-yalla (no VPN) for all matches with BBC radio commentary but from your link I noticed telemundo (U.S. Spanish language) works without a VPN too. So far it looks like the telemundo video quality is better!

That's a very silly comment because he's been fighting so hard to resist releasing them for so many years. At this point, things have changed. Trump has a lot to worry about. Way beyond losing another election. He's justifiably worried about losing his wealth, his family name brand, his freedom, and as I don't see him doing well if he loses everything, his life.

I already told you. It's incredibly difficult. There is zero chance it would even be tried on a matter like presidential background checks. Presidential backgrounds are checked by the press and when a candidate such as grifter Trump refuses to follow norms such as releasing his tax forms, it is judged by the voters as relevant or not.

Google: Equal Rights Amendment. You sound uninformed about basic political realities in modern times. Cheers. Equal Rights Amendment - Wikipedia

It's incredibly difficult to do.

You got it now. It is NOT. I think the constitution would need to be changed to add any such requirement.

No. It's customary but not required for serious candidates to release them but Trump promised that he would several times over many years, but never did. Grifter that he is. There is no background check. No major party is going to nominate someone who isn't constitutionally eligible.

I'm OK with them unless they display Z stuff.

They might like Asia, the weather and they can bop around. Georgia and Turkey are not that cheap especially Tbilisi. Massive rent spikes because of Russians. I don’t think the Stan's are cheaper than Thailand on a budget. There are a limited number of countries Russians can fly into these days without a visa and Thailand is one of them. So Thailand is getting some Russian refugees. Remember WW2? China and the Philippines got some Jewish refugees.

Investigate him then. As a democrat that doesn't bother me at all. If they find something to charge, then charge. Democrats mostly believe in due process and the rule of law. Trumpists don't.

You don't get it. It's irrelevant how long they can stay in Thailand. Unless they can buy an Elite Visa they are in transit here or they will go underground. Mostly they're seeking ways they can financially survive out of Russia and/or searching for other countries where they can more permanently settle. Some might bop around Asia for years hoping their country changes. Sure they'll go to the beach and eat Pad Thai but the above concerns are not those of normal tourists. You're right they are not official refugees like Ukrainians in Europe. If you can return to your country without fear of arrest, mobilization, or being murdered, you aren't a refugee.

The opposition is increasing, that's for sure. Funny that Iranian school girls are much more brave than Russian adults in protesting their regimes.

If they've been forced out of their country and don't intend to return they are still refugees.

Yeah but it's relevant to know what portion are refugees. Refugees aren't tourists.

Not that similar really. A bigger issue would be people from other countries that speak Russian but I don't think they send huge numbers here.
