  1. Fired 18 Inspectors General who make sure the federal agencies follow the law.
  2. Thank you... Hosted dozens of foreign, federal, and state officials at Mar-a-Lago, helping enrich Trump. Hosted a GOP retreat at another one of Trump’s resorts. Circumvented the normal contracting process to pick a company with close ties to Trump’s former campaign manager. Awarded a $30 million ICE contract to Trump insider Peter Thiel. Continued developing new Trump properties overseas, including in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Hatched a plan for the State Department to pay Tesla $400 million dollars. Accepted a $4 million inauguration donation from a GOP megadonor and nominated him as UK ambassador the same day. And Donald Trump took actions that could advance the personal interests of his co-president Elon Musk: Fired EEOC leaders investigating and suing Tesla. Illegally fired the NLRB Chair, which filed a complaint against SpaceX. Gutted CFPB staff and fired the Director after they investigated complaints against Musk’s companies.
  3. Trump and his enablers have violated U.S. law by killing people intentionally without legal justification or excuse. They have also violated International Law and committed war crimes. Under Article 8 of the Geneva Convention, a “war crime” includes: willful killing; torture or inhuman treatment; willfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health; extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly; intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities; intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects, that is, objects which are not military objectives.
  4. Ah, now you blame youre brother. And not even that is correct. Just stop your fake news...
  5. Donald Trump has brought Americans into an undeclared, unprovoked, illegal, and unconstitutional war against a sovereign country, murdered its citizens, and kidnapped its leader. To those credulous Trump cheerleaders, ask yourselves whether the United States is behaving any differently than Russia, which invaded its neighbor in a war of pure aggression. Trump claims he is combatting “narco-terrorists.” But Venezuela is not a major producer of drugs like fentanyl, and most of the cocaine it does produce goes to Europe. Trump’s remarkable decision, which may get Americans killed, is done to distract the public from the Epstein files, a disastrous economy, Trump’s sinking popularity, and increasing signs of his senility. Therefore: Trump is a war criminal too.
  6. Maintained financial ties between Trump officials and Trump’s media company. That includes: FBI Director Kash Patel who was gifted a huge award of Trump media company stock. Nominated Attorney General Bondi who owned $2 million in DJT shares. Paid the Education Secretary almost $1 million in Trump Media company shares. Intelligence Board nominees who have millions in Trump Media company shares. Selected a Special Envoy to the Middle East who wants to develop real estate in Gaza while running his own real estate firm. Appointed an FBI Director who consulted for the Qatari government. Picked that FBI Director even though he also received millions from a Cayman Island holding company with ties to China. Decided to cancel the Direct File program, which will help the bottom line of Intuit, which gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Took its largest inauguration donation from a poultry company under DOJ scrutiny. After the donation, the SEC approved its parent company for the New York Stock Exchange. Dropped a probe into sexual misconduct allegations against Trump’s Education Secretary’s husband.
  7. I agree. I'm listing true facts only.
  8. Pardoned Rod Blagojevich, former Illinois governor convicted for corruption, after his vocal support for Trump. Pardoned January 6 insurrectionists who tried to overturn an election he lost. Pardoned a Trump loyalist found guilty of wire fraud. Pardoned the son of a longtime Republican donor. Pardoned a corporation that had been fined $100 million for money laundering. Launched his own stablecoin while preparing to sign legislation that will help the stablecoin and let him oversee it. Sold merch with presidential branding. Disbanded DOJ’s crypto unit after business talks between Binance and a Trump-backed crypto company ramped up. Halted SEC enforcement actions against crypto companies that enriched Trump. Met with crypto executives who are asking Treasury to back off of oversight of their companies — all while exploring a deal to list a Trump-linked crypto company’s new stablecoin.
  9. Turned the White House into a Tesla dealership. Fired independent commissioners at the FTC. Punished former officials who opposed his 2020 election lies. Paid for the White House Easter Egg roll by soliciting corporate sponsors who have business pending with the government. Helped Trump’s son set up a club — pay $500,000 for access to Trump’s cabinet. Declared that there would be NO tariff exceptions. Then permitted Apple’s CEO “behind the scenes” access — and poof, iPhone tariffs were cut. Created an opening for insider trading by reportedly giving Wall Street exclusive information about trade talks. Hosted million-dollar dinners between Big Pharma CEOs and their regulator RFK Jr. Launched crypto memecoin right before inauguration to make millions of dollars, then increased the value of those coins by signing executive orders making crypto a priority. Launched a meme coin for Melania, too.
  10. Nice, but your lines have absolutley nothing to do with the criminal in chief Donald Trump.
  11. Tapped Paul Atkins, a former crypto lobbyist, to lead the SEC. Appointed a former tax lobbyist, to lead tax policy. Appointed RFK Jr., who planned to get paid for anti-vax lawsuits while heading up HHS. Appointed a top Pentagon official who led a firm investing in defense contractors and has directed D-O-D to outsource as much as it can. Appointed someone who lobbied to privatize Medicare to lead OMB’s healthcare budget. Installed Steve Davis to effectively lead DOGE while also leading a Musk company. Installed another DOGE leader to control Treasury’s payment system while still holding down his day job as a software CEO. Handed power over crypto policy to a White House crypto czar who leads a venture capital firm that heavily invests in crypto. Selected a border czar who led a firm that got tens of millions of dollars of federal contracts for homeland security companies. Appointed Treasury Secretary Bessent who is gutting the IRS so that it can’t audit rich tax cheats — he’s a tax-dodging mega-millionaire.
  12. 1.98 in Arizona - 555
  13. @Yellowtail Sorry, but Epstein will bother the Magastanies further on. But I don't want to upset you too much. So a few more other issues about the occupier of the white house could be listed. Fun factor: Every day the list can be expanded...
  14. Two and a half weeks after the expiry of a legally mandated deadline for the release of all documents relating to the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, more than two million files remain unpublished, according to the US Department of Justice. According to the letter, 12,285 documents with a total scope of more than 125,000 pages have been published so far - less than one percent of the files currently still under review. And so much more to come...
  15. Sorry guys, not finished yet... Appointed John Phelan, a major donor with no military or government experience, to lead the Navy and hand out Navy construction contracts. Appointed Pam Bondi, a former lobbyist for a federal detention contractor, to lead the DOJ. Announced the DOJ would stop prioritizing enforcement of restrictions on foreign lobbyists, under the leadership of Bondi, who herself is a former foreign lobbyist for Qatar. Appointed Howard Lutnick, who has billions invested in companies accused of illegally facilitating crypto money laundering, to lead the Commerce Department. Appointed Marty Makary, the former executive of a company selling weight-loss drugs, to lead the FDA, which would regulate his company. Appointed Sean Duffy, who lobbied for the airline industry, to Transportation Secretary. Tapped Pete Hegseth, whose wife owns stock in large defense contractors, to lead the Defense Department. Tapped Doug Burgum — who made money from leasing land to Big Oil — to lead the Interior Department. Nominated a Big Oil lobbyist to run the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Nominated as IRS head Billy Long, an aggressive salesman for a fraud-riddled tax credit, who received donations after being nominated to clear old campaign debts. Yeah, he's a criminal indeed. And tries to cover up with his ridiculous actions (Venezuela, Geenland, Columbia, Cuba etc.) his biggest problem... The Epstein files...
  16. Started undermining Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices after Big Pharma companies gave millions to Trump’s inauguration. Filed a meritless lawsuit against 60 Minutes and launched a baseless FCC investigation. Tried to get the AP to bend the knee and kicked them out of the White House briefing room when they refused. Hired Defense Secretary Hegseth’s younger brother to serve in a key role. Hired a longtime former partner of Don Jr. to serve as Ambassador to Greece. Nominated Jared Kushner’s father to serve as Ambassador to France. Selected Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law to serve as an adviser. Appointed an oil and gas executive to lead the Department of Energy. Selected a Chief of Staff who was a big-time lobbyist for clients like tobacco and mining companies. Named officials who had recently lobbied for oil and chemical giants to help write E-P-A rules. Appointed Mehmet Oz, who has close ties to Medicare Advantage insurers, to lead CMS to set payment rates and otherwise help out Medicare Advantage insurers. Lock him up...
  17. Promised his "rich-as-hell" donors a giant tax handout. Weakened rules insulating government workers from politics. Limited corporate foreign bribery investigations. Halted enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act. Offered a private dinner with Trump himself—and a special tour of the White House—for the top 220 holders of his memecoin, permitting Trump and his family to profit both from the run up in the value of the coin AND the increase in trading on the Trump platform. Accepted $40 million for First Lady Melania's documentary from Jeff Bezos – way above the market rate. Pointed to Bezos’s multi-million-dollar documentary payment as a model, when Warner Bros. asked Trump's team how to improve its own relationship with the White House. Struck a deal with Amazon to stream Trump’s old show The Apprentice, which will mean more money for Trump as Amazon seeks tax breaks and other federal benefits. Coercing law firms to offer almost $1 billion in free legal work in an arrangement that experts say could run afoul of anti-bribery laws.
  18. No, he just has to go to jail, like every criminal.
  19. You're only trying to distract from the Epstein files. Same procedure as the occupator of the white hose.
  20. Emm yeah. No wonder you would rather like to be an american. If you don't even now the difference between Dutch and Denmark...
  21. FELONY: A New York court convicted the President of 34 felony counts of falsified business records – the first time a former or sitting President has been convicted of criminal charges. TRUMP PROTECTS PEDOPHILES: Trump cozies up to pedophiles like Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Trump Faith Advisor Robert Morris. TRUMP’S CRYPTO CORRUPTION: Trump used to call crypto a “scam,” then he cashed in. The Trump family has raked in at least $800 million dollars in crypto since the start of 2025 alone. He also pardoned Binance’s co-founder after Binance helped set up Trump’s own crypto holdings company and suspended an SEC fraud investigation into a crypto billionaire Justin Sun just weeks after Sun invested $75 million into Trump’s crypto company World Liberty Financial. Trump is cashing in on his presidential power, bumping up the value of his $TRUMP memecoin by 60% by offering a White House tour to top investors. JANUARY 6 INSURRECTIONISTS: The President’s first act in office was to grant clemency to about 1,500 people – every person charged or convicted for their role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. After their pardons, several Jan 6ers went on to be convicted of possessing child pornography, sexually assaulting a child, driving under the influence and reckless homicide, burglary, grand theft, home invasion, and resisting arrest, among other crimes. PARDONED A DRUG SMUGGLER: The former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández had been sentenced to a 45-year prison sentence after being convicted for using his position to smuggle 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. in 2024. Honduras, for its part, has issued a warrant for his arrest. PARDONED DRUG SELLER: The former Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht helped facilitate the sale of more than $214 million in illegal drugs through a dark web marketplace, with some of those who bought drugs dying. He was sentenced to life in prison. Trump pardoned him for his 2015 conviction for a narcotics and money-laundering conspiracy. Only a few mentioned here. He is a criminal.
  22. I agree @HappyExpat57 . Just look into any newspapaer. The Epstein files are covered up. A well known standard strategy to distract from Trumps problems. Methods of Distraction Creating “enemies”: Attacks on minorities or other states to mask internal divisions and create a “common enemy.” “Flag wars” or diplomatic provocations: Staging conflicts with neighboring countries to stir up nationalist sentiment. Geopolitical staging: Exploiting international conflicts or great power rivalries to shift attention to “big politics” and downplay internal problems. Narratives of strength: Emphasizing military might or foreign policy successes to portray one’s own leadership as competent and capable.
  23. Update: Among the 119 injured are more than 70 Swiss citizens, as well as French, Italians, Serbs and individual citizens of other countries. Some of the 119 survivors, most of whom were seriously injured, are in a critical phase: In cases of very severe burns, symptoms of burn disease such as organ failure only appear after 48 hours. Several patients have now been transferred to burn centers in Germany. Switzerland does not have sufficient capacity to treat all the injured long-term and has requested places for 50 patients, primarily in neighboring countries. Survivors from Crans-Montana are being treated in Ludwigshafen, Stuttgart, Tübingen, Bochum, and Cologne-Merheim, among other locations. Other hospitals have also offered to admit patients. Switzerland is planning a national day of mourning and a memorial service for the victims on January 9th. The municipality has opened an online book of condolence. Federal President Guy Parmelin was the first to write in it: "To all grieving families, to all victims, I say once again with seriousness and sincerity: Your suffering is also our suffering." He will attend the memorial service in Crans-Montana. It is still unclear whether other heads of state will travel there. At the beginning of the memorial service in Crans-Montana, church bells will ring throughout the country, accompanied by a nationwide minute of silence, Parmelin added.
  24. Use only Lazada. If there was an issue I always could return and got my money back mostly in about 2-5 days. Even 2 smashed solar panels, no problem I search for the stuff on the PC and put the item into the cart. The order itself I make on the phone, as checking out automatically opens my mobile banking app with all the datas filled out.
  25. I had reflux issues a few months ago. I made a gastroscopy just to be sure. Everything was fine. The recommendations from the doctor in BKK Hosptal CM: Try to drink 2 liters of water per day Don't eat anything 3 hours before going to bed Avoid fatty, oily and spicy food Reduce or stop drinking coffee Before I never drank that amount of water, I loved to eat spicy. 2-3 big milk coffees in the morning. And I ate after dinner also cookies / cake etc. I also reduced the amount of drinking milk in general (I just love it). I followed the recommondations. And have since then no issues anymore. Here and then if I really feel like it, I do have a cookie or some milk in the evening. I just try to keep it on lower amounts.
