What are you on about? Do you MAGA folk have any sense of humor? Or is it just really really difficult for you generate any decent comedy out of liberal acts and positions as opposed to the constant irony of the MAGA right?

No but I know a guy who bought the MAGA Trump guitar. It is a copy of a Les Paul and guess where it is made? GYNA!! Trumps "Great American" signature guitars are made in China! LOL. Just like his stupid baseball caps. By the way. America has always been great and still is great, it was great before Trump and great enough to survive this poser of a President.

None of the MAGA crowd on here has even thought of putting a reply in the form of: How you can tell you're dealing with a "lefty". Mostly seeing guys just argue and call folks names (another stereotype) -Resorts to personal slander and name calling in lieu of intelligent replies. Come on Trumpers, This is supposed to be entertaining, how about making good fun of those "leftys" !! Where's the beef? Where the strong "strong alpha male" deals in facts MAGA replies!

So, in other words. The building went from a vertical structure to a pile of ruble horizontal.

Thai people pride themselves on bein’ passive, non-confrontational, cool as cucumbers on a valium drip. But get ‘em behind a wheel and it’s Mad Max on Meth. Actions speak louder than words. Some Thai people have one face and quite another behavior attitude when it comes to business or money and of course, driving. Courtesy to others doesn't surface in driving. Why is this? So, perhaps it's a measure of the person and their thought of others. How somebody behaves behind the wheel to be more indicative of who they are as a person, rather than what they say. I have a very well spoken Bi-lingual Thai friend and she talked about this. Dicotemy of Thai politeness and expressions as opposed to what is really going on in the thinking.

The "Fake News" Reflex: Any information that doesn't align with their worldview is immediately dismissed as "fake news," even if it's the nutritional information on a cereal box.

The Immediate Pivot: You ask about the weather, and within three sentences, they've seamlessly transitioned to how the deep state is controlling the rain. The "Research": They refer to "my own research" but it consists entirely of YouTube videos watched at 3 AM and forwarded Facebook memes. The Loudspeaker Voice: They speak exclusively in a booming, declarative tone, even when ordering a coffee. Everything is a rally speech. They don't listen but constantly interrupt quite loudly. The "Fake News" Reflex: Any information that doesn't align with their worldview is immediately dismissed as "fake news," even if it's the nutritional information on a cereal box. The "Back in My Day...": Every story starts with a lament about how things used to be better before [insert perceived societal decline]. The "Woke" Obsession: They use the word "woke" as a derogatory adjective for anything they don't like, from coffee flavors to the color blue. The "Storm is Coming" Prophecy: They frequently allude to an impending, vague, but ultimately glorious "storm" that will set everything right. The Unsolicited Political Advice: You're just trying to buy groceries, and suddenly you're getting a detailed explanation of their plan to fix the economy, starting with bringing back manufacturing jobs to their grandmother's backyard. The conversation gets personal quickly: You're having a seemingly polite conversation but it takes a quick turn to the extreme with personal insults ending with "You libtards are all alike". At a Doctor's Office: They try to convince the doctor that vaccines are a government mind-control plot.

Doesn't take much to make fun of the whole MAGA charade, Trump put's his foot in his mouth on a daily basis and his merry band of co-dependents just magnify the situation. It's ferkin' scary but the irony is so thick you could paste together Trumps butt cheeks after he processes 3 McDonalds Extra Value Meals with it.

An oddly well groomed and wealthy bunch of half baked MAGA nuts. Trump actually could sound somewhat lucid compared to this bunch. Robert Kennedy? Bondi? Hegseth, just about 4 or 5min of hearing anyone of them speak is enough to expose their gross ignorance and scare the bejessus out of anyone with any kind of higher education and basic common sense. Ferkin' scary bunch if you ask me. We'll I'll tell you, these clowns will burn down the house and piss on the ashes in a little while and when they do the MAGA nuts will be eating some serious crow. Put that in your Signal chat and hit send !!!

This IMHO is for those Nazi fetish buoys who want to lick the black boots while being completely demoralized with all kind of explitives. I'll bet she makes a good wage on the punters who fantasize about taking it in the safeway for by a female Adolf LOL! This kind of thing is on par with the crazy pervs that enjoy dressing up in diapers and having Mommy give them a spanking and then take their temperature up the wazoo

0.2% reducation in 2025 makes tourism a "floundering sector"? How many tourists are they looking for? I mean, if you are like me, this is good news. My favorite times living in Thaland were during the Covid lock down. I had most of Pattaya and Jomtien pretty much to myself. The beach took on an amazing transformation. Wildlife started coming back. The water cleared up and very little trash washed up on the beaches. No drunk young middle eastern types roving in hoards on motorbikes making all kind of noise and disturbing the peace. The roads were passable and traffic was minimal. Ah, the Covid days. Some of my best times in Thailand

Not since they took away the "sad" and the "confused" reactions icons! That was the nail in the coffin. Thumbs down is just not sufficient to react to the wild, weird, crazy, nutty and downright terrible posts you get here sometimes! Boycott ASEANNOW Until the return of the confused and sad reactions!!

reply challenge, make replies more than one sentence and not personal.

Poor Donald needs more roughage in his diet. Days like those when a guy is irregular makes the business of trying to be King of America difficult. He should try Colon Blow! It's the laxative that keeps on giving!

There's nothing more Ironic than as a MAGA Christian. Talk about putting a spin on the teachings of Jesus. Wow. These folks would have you believing "Love they neighbor as thyself" doesn't apply if your neighbor is Mexican.

Yea, that's true IF the executive orders are more or less the business of the Executive branch of government. Do you think that an executive order has the power to put in place regulation of corporate business? Show me where it does.

An executive order cannot in one foul swoop, cut drug prices. Get real. Do you think Trump has unlimited power as president? He does not!

Cutting drug prices isn't bad. The problem is the "executive" (same as president) is not a King and cannot just write and order and then make it become the law of the land. Executive orders cannot do things like establish regulation in business. Congress must get involved. If any Trumpy's think the Prez can just do things like this with an executive order, somebody has really fooled them. Executive orders do make law. They are used primarily to carry out things that the executive branch of government already have the power to do. It is by far NOT unlimited.

Come on, are you surprised? The numbers are extraordinarily high. Perhaps coming down a little in the last 10 years. Not only hardened criminals fleeing home country and attempting to "lay low" here, but new criminals setting up shop. How many Indian scam call centers setup shop in Pattaya? So many people in USA get calls from these douche bags and try to get SCAM slow thinking people - victims make bank transfers to THAI banks! Chinese and other nationalities setting up online Casinos. They get busted every so often. If you choose to live here then buyer beware. You are going to be keeping company with a strange mix of expats, criminals, sexual deviants, narcissistic types that love pay for play sex etc.

I can see it now. First the earthquake, and now, a huge chunk of space junk falls into Soi Cowboy. What a headline that would make! Aged Soviet Cosmo nut lands in Soi Cowboy in the final blow by Russia to Thailand's Tourism Industry.

The three branches of US Government are supposed to hold each other in check. Waa, Waa my brilliant ideas are being challenged by those "woke" judges waa waa. He's complaining like a baby. The US Government is setup very well and has worked well for over a couple hundred years. Hey Donald, just because you don't know how are government works, doesn't mean you get to change it. Judicial branch is supposed to hold the executive branch in check. (If anybody reading this is a Trump fan and doesn't understand this, I'm sorry for you but your wanna be King Trump is a sophomore) For those Trump fans who don't understand what a sophomoric person is here is a good definition. If someone is described as "sophomoric," it usually means they are exhibiting immaturity, pretentiousness, or a lack of good judgment, often in a way that is trying to be clever or sophisticated but ultimately falls flat.

Dude Smell My Finger!

So, IMHO, you might want to study a bit more about spirituality versus organized religion. There is a huge difference between spirituality and organized religion. There is no such thing as "spiritual hierarchy" The word hierarchy generally has to do with position of individuals in any kind of organization. The Catholic Church is an organization with officials who are appointed to do the business of running the largest religious organization on the planet. The Pope is, roughly speaking, the lead man of the Catholic Church. IMHO, there are better questions to ask with it comes to religion and spirituality. The world doesn't necessarily need any kind of organized religion. But, IMHO it definitely needs spirituality. I think a much better question is: Does the world need spirituality. I believe whole heatedly that it does. The core of all worlds problems is the spiritual sickness of it's societies and this "look out for number one" kind of attitude that is pervasive. People thinking mostly of themselves and not thinking enough of others. Nobody needs The Bible or weekly church services to practice spirituality and try to have a relationship with a Higher Power or Higher Force in the universe. The core of spirituality is a life of selflessness. Thinking of others more than oneself. Roll models would be Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, The Dalai Lama and others who devote their lives in service to others and teach spiritual principles of Love, Tolerance, Patience, Selflessness, Charity and the like.

What do you expect from prostitutes? Damn, in the first place, most prostitutes work out of desperation and/or have very low moral character. So, of course they are opportunistic and will steal when they have the chance. Any punter who thinks otherwise deserves to be taught a lesson. Damn, I rarely do pay for play but if I do I make sure and make my dwelling "hooker proof" if I decide to take one back to the house. You got tohide anything valuable that you'd miss. So, the man is disabled, but do you think that matters to a desperate Pattaya Beach street walker? You'd think some of these punters left common sense, if they had any, back in the home country. Wow. Pretty daft.
