  1. He is a very skilled criminally corrupt grifter con man, propagandist, and demagogue though.
  2. In any case the most important audience of these presentations is one man. Merrick Garland.
  3. The law and reality very different. Like prostitution. Getting high ganja has been made de facto legal except for insufferable literalists.
  4. OK, I'll start. I was a hippie. Was basically stoned every day from age 13 to 19. I was psychologically addicted. No doubt given the early age, it did damage. At 19, I realized the stuff made me paranoid and I didn't really enjoy it that much. Also it would trigger flashbacks of psychedelics (I guess that was a feature). So I just stopped it and sometimes drank booze instead but happily never became an alcoholic. But this was OLD SCHOOL pot. So weak! So years ago in Amsterdam I had some puffs at a coffee shop. The NEW STUFF. I was not prepared. I went out and practically collapsed on the streets. I could feel the side effects for a month. So assuming the NEW STUFF is going to be available here, while I like the idea of freedom of choice, I am not so sure I want to touch it at all.
  5. We all come to the subject of marijuana with our own personal histories. The virgins. The never inhaled. The former hippie potheads. The medical users. And on and on. So now that this historic change is happening here in Thailand, based on your marijuana history, how will YOU respond?
  6. Whether Mr. Trump is eventually indicted or not, just imagine how he is feeling now. There is no doubt that he knows that there is ample evidence to send him to prison and the decision to proceed is on one man. If he isn't quaking in his golf shoes he isn't paying attention. Scratch that. It isn't only one man. The state of Georgia could get him on the infamous (find me the votes) phone call. I find the people still saying there is nothing to nail him on hilarious. There is plenty to nail him on. The problem is having the political cajones to actually do it.
  7. A complicated matter but my first impression is that Putin is trolling with this, and it might be best to ignore him and focus on the current primary global crisis: Ukraine. Beat Putin there and you go a long way towards beating Putin everywhere.
  8. The committee isn't a court. But they are setting the table. Donald John Trump is clearly GUILTY of conspiracy to defraud the United States just based on overwhelming evidence of the pressure he was putting on Mike Pence to overturn the election. FELONY. It doesn't need to be complicated,. They don't need a smoking gun on the insurrection riot conspiracy (they use encrypted apps so not likely to find). They don't need ten indictments with ten convictions. One FELONY one will do the job. He's an old man. Such a conviction puts him out of the picture (but not his allied politicians or cult followers). This is coming down to a political decision for Garland. Perhaps the most important such decision in American history. It is not customary to lay criminal charges on former presidents. He will face a lot of pressure to do so after the committee finishes. If he proceeds I'm assuming he will know a conviction is almost definite. Will that spark civil war? Maybe. But we may be headed for civil war and / or the end of democracy anyway. They haven't managed to change the laws that would have made the 2020 coup possible so it will likely happen again. If Garland acts, at least for the sake of history, an effort will have been made. More than can be said for Joe Manchin.
  9. Very common. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian_until_graduation
  10. The western equivalence is college lesbianism.
  11. January 6 was a coup attempt. The deflection stuff you want to talk about instead wasn't.
  12. Its your identification. Straight right?
  13. If you identify as straight then no. If you identify as bi then yes. Maybe bed one and report back. .
  14. Total bull. Its a list of sexual minorities who are marginalized to varying degrees internationally including sometimes the death penalty. Of course cisgender heterosexuals MEN AND WOMEN are the overwhelming dominant MAJORITY in all nations so they would not be included in list of MINORITIES. This is why straight people don't need a straight parade. Every parade except Pride is already a straight parade. Every month already straight month. Straight people don't need marriage rights They already have them everywhere. If you're thirsty to be a marginalized minority well perhaps you can be satisfied but being straight isn't it
  15. I agree. But I don't see it happening. The alphabet inflation constantly invites homophobic derision seen here on every related topic. There really isn't a grand council of gay stuff. Things just develop in certain ways.
  16. I think Liz Cheney will.run for president as a third party candidate and she could win. Her base GWBush fans / Neocons Old style real reublicans Conservatives Pro life Westerners Rural Right of center moderates including some democrats Anti Trumpists
  17. I seriously doubt that it's available here. I have had it in Chiang Mai several times but long ago.
  18. You want to be in a class of people with zero.immigration rights based on relationships with Thais and no marriage allowed? Dude that is cray cray.
