All the Good Mangoes Must Be in Macau?

Swamped with what? -
I don’t know what to tell you. You used to seem more balanced. Now you come across as angry and frustrated all the time, just scathing, short-tempered rants, post after post. It’s like you’ve become obsessive about it. And how many a day now? Looks like the politics has got a firm grip on you too. Before, it felt like you had more going on to keep you busy. Is all this angry trolling really working for you? I don't think so. Your attempts at hard little jabs are painless, in case you haven't noticed by the way most people react to you now. Maybe it’s time to look for something else. You can come back with another smug or snide remark to what I am saying if that’s what your fragile ego needs, but I really think you should take a step back and think about what I’m saying. Anyone who's been paying attention can see the pronounced change from where you started to where you are now. You’ve become noticeably more aggressive and condescending, not funny or pleasant to converse with the way you used to be at times. You used to have moments of displaying a clever, light-hearted wit before. That’s all gone now. Nothing left of anything that anybody would want to engage with. It feels like you’ve drifted into a darker space. Is the weed not working for you anymore? Or maybe it’s starting to have the opposite effect. Either way, it might be time to shake up your routine. Any change at all might do you good.

Just shave it all, mates: cock, balls, taint, chest, back, shoulders, arms, neck, ears, nostrils, the whole minging lot. No one wants to turn into the next Susan Harris doppleganger.

I asked Grok: "How many trade deals has Donald Trump done to date within his first hundred days of presidency?" Grok's Answer: As of April 30, 2025, marking the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency, there is no definitive evidence from reliable sources confirming that any trade deals have been finalized. Multiple reports and posts on X indicate that no trade deals have been completed within this period. For instance, Reuters notes that the Trump administration aimed to strike 90 trade deals in 90 days but faced significant challenges, with no specific deals reported as finalized by the 100-day mark. Additionally, posts on X consistently claim zero trade deals have been made. While some sources mention ongoing negotiations with countries like India, Japan, and South Korea, and a claim by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick of a near-complete deal with an unnamed country, no concrete agreements are documented as signed or enacted within the first 100 days. A natural resources deal with Ukraine was announced on April 30, 2025, but it is unclear if this qualifies as a traditional trade deal or was finalized within the 100-day timeframe. Given the lack of specific evidence of completed deals, the most accurate count based on available information is zero finalized trade deals within the first 100 days. However, negotiations are ongoing, and the situation may evolve. For the latest updates, checking primary sources like whitehouse.gov or reputable news outlets is recommended.

I live on a budget of 2,500 Baht a day even though my daily income is at least triple that. Many days I spend no more than 500 Baht in a day. Short time days are the only ones when I might exceed my daily budget. Usually I have lots of money left over at the end of the month. So much money, too much money. Always moneying, but not enough short timing.

The biggest hoaxes coming out of the WH are that weakening the dollar, tanking the stock market, the chaotic tariff strategy, the radical push to deport undocumented workers, legal immigrants and foreign students, mass firings of federal employees and a sometimes overt disdain for the US Constitution are helping anything at all. Too much hoaxing.

Travel Rising Prices, Broken Systems Dim Thailand’s Tourist Charm

The only reason Trump is trying to blame Biden for the economy again is because the country was completely shocked today when the Q1 GDP growth figures were released. US GDP fell by 0.3% in Q1 2025 and this is before the tariffs came in to play in April and began tanking the economy. The US Economy could already be in a recession if Q2 also posts at least the same level of negative GDP growth for the quarter. It's all but guaranteed to happen.

Just think about how you are such a catastrophic disaster for the environment with your over supply of air conditioners, computers, refrigerators, washing machines running 24 hours a day to keep your diapers clean. What a complete travesty. Your carbon footprint is like that of a household of 10 Americans from that horrific state of Pennsylvania. And now you're going to buy up all the baking soda and vinegar and put a drain on supplies. It never stops with you does it?

Ah yes, the sacred towel chronicles. Because apparently what the rest of us call “doing laundry” is, for you, a full-scale military operation requiring spreadsheets, tactical planning, and a minor shrine to a mid-range washing machine. Two towels per shower? Twice a day? Dude, are you showering or re-enacting Titanic in your bathroom? And let’s not skip over the part where you proudly announce the annual towel count like you’re presenting at a UN climate summit. One thousand four hundred and forty towels. Minimum. You're failing the carbon footprint test. And the only thing more soaked than your towels is your sense of reality. Newsflash: overwashing towels doesn’t make them cleaner, it just turns them into damp, soap-logged stink sponges. All that detergent? That’s not freshness, it’s a phosphorus, mildew casserole waiting to happen. But no worries, because the holy grail of all home appliances, your beloved Sambung, is apparently saving the day. Low cost, amazing performance, beautiful too, we get it, you want to burry your thingy in the thing. Honestly, at this point it feels less like a washing routine and more like a codependent relationship with a large metal box. And yes, we know you’re not joking. You said it about six times. Which is exactly what someone says when they are, in fact, absolutely off their nut. So next time you’re mid-spin cycle sermon, maybe give the towels, and the rest of us, a break. Try vinegar and baking soda on the towels instead of laundry soap. Maybe even try therapy. Both can work wonders on all kinds of buildup.

Look, I don’t really know this Abrego guy. I mean, I’ve seen the picture. Everyone’s seen the picture. It says MS13 right there on the knuckles. Clear as day. But now they’re saying, “Oh no sir, that was Photoshopped.” Give me a break. These people, they’ll say anything. They don’t want you to see what’s really going on. That’s the problem with the fake news. Total disaster. Now you’ve got these so-called journalists, very nasty people by the way, trying to tell me it’s fake. Terry, I picked him for the interview because nobody had ever heard of him. Still haven’t. But I gave him a shot. Tremendous shot. And what does he do? He says the picture isn’t real. Folks, I had the photo in the Oval. Big beautiful printout. Very official. Everyone was talking about it. Everybody saw it. They said, “Sir, this is proof.” And I said, “You’re absolutely right.” But then the court, nine to nothing, which is unheard of by the way, they say we have to bring this guy back. Back from a prison. A very bad prison. Not nice. And they say it was an administrative error. That’s what they’re calling it now. Unbelievable. Nobody’s held accountable anymore. And then they blame me. But you know what I say? I say ask the lawyers. I’ve got fantastic lawyers. Some of the best. People are saying we’re being too tough. Too tough? I don’t think so. We’re trying to protect the country. We’re getting rid of bad people. That’s what we’re doing. I ran on that. That’s what the people voted for. And now they’re trying to act like they didn’t. But they did. They absolutely did. This is what winning looks like, folks. Tough choices. Tough actions. Tremendous success. And the media? They don’t like that. They don’t like when I’m right. But they’ll come around. They always do. They’ll call me up soon. “Sir, you were right about the tattoos. You were right about MS13. You were right about the deportations.” And I’ll say, “I know.” Happens all the time. Anyway, I’ve got more important things to focus on. Like saving America from this disaster we inherited. Again. Making it great again. Again. We’ve done it before. We’re doing it again. Real results. Real leadership. Not some fuzzy little tattoo debate with Photoshop and crying reporters. Total mess. But we’ll clean it up. We always do.

Delusions are strong with this one! Trump was trolled by his own content creation team. Never mind, just alternative facts. Trump Insists Clearly Edited Pic of Abrego Garcia’s Tats Is Real in Testy Interview Ryan Bort and Nikki McCann Ramirez Wed, April 30, 2025 at 9:23 AM ICT Donald Trump has been on quite a press tour around his first 100 days in office, the latest stop of which was a sit-down interview with ABC News that aired Tuesday night. It wasn’t always cordial between the president and correspondent Terry Moran — particularly as Moran tried to tell Trump that an obviously edited image of “MS-13” appearing across the knuckles of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was not, in fact, real. “On his knuckles he had MS-13,” Trump said of Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongfully deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the Trump administration must facilitate his return. Trump and his allies have baselessly tried to cast Abrego Garcia as a terrorist gang member they were justified in expelling from the country without due process (even though the administration itself has admitted in court his deportation was due to an “administrative error”). “He had some tattoos that were interpreted that way,” Moran replied. Abrego Garcia has four symbols tattooed across his knuckles, and the White House has been circulating an image onto which someone Photoshopped — or just superimposed with a basic paint app, really — “MS13,” purporting that it’s what Abrego Garcia’s actual tattoos represent. Trump even posed with a printout of the photo in the Oval Office. Trump kept insisting the text overlaid across Abrego Garcia’s knuckles were the actual tattoos. “Wait a minute. Terry, Terry, Terry. Don’t do that. It says ‘MS13.'” “That was Photoshopped,” Moran said. Trump then started mocking Moran. “That was Photoshopped? Terry, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime. You’re doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I’d never heard of you, but that’s OK,” Trump said. “You’re not being very nice.” Moran again tried to move to another question, but Trump wasn’t having it. “Terry, do you want me to show you the picture?” “I saw the picture.” Moran kept trying to move on — even saying “agree to disagree” — but Trump kept insisting: “No, no: He had ‘MS’ as clear as you can be, not ‘interpreted.’ This is why people no longer believe the news, because it’s fake news.” The exchange was emblematic of the Trump administration’s unconstitutional deportation agenda, which seems to be predicated on doing anything possible to label immigrants gang members and then banishing them to a Salvadoran prison without due process. When Moran pressed Trump about the apparent illegality of the deportations and the court orders blocking them, the president passed the buck to the Justice Department. “I’ll have to ask the lawyers about that,” was a typical response. Of course, the interview touched on several other lowlights from Trump’s second first 100 days. Moran asked the president what he said to people who felt that the president was acting recklessly in his tariff and economic policy, and that they “didn’t sign up for this.” Trump replied that the people who voted for him “did sign up for it, actually.” “This is what I campaigned on,” Trump added. “I said that we have been abused by other countries at levels that nobody’s ever seen before. We were losing $3-5 billion a day on trade.” When asked if he had a message for “small businesses who are saying we can’t live two months with these tariffs,” or was willing to offer them a break like his administration did for Apple and other major companies, the president deflected: “Not only Apple. We have $7 to $8 trillion being invested in our country in two months. Biden didn’t have that for over a year. I mean, if you look at Biden, nobody was really investing in this country. Everybody was ripping off our country.” Trump said that “everything’s going to be just fine. It wouldn’t have been if I didn’t do this. I had a choice, I could leave it to have a nice, easy time, but I think ultimately you would have had an implosion.” There was tension between Trump and Moran for most of the interview. When Moran asked Trump whether he had “100-percent confidence” in Pete Hegseth, his scandal-plagued defense secretary, the president replied “I don’t have 100-percent confidence in anything,” adding that it was a “stupid question” and that he doesn’t even have “100-percent confidence that we’re going to finish this interview.” https://ca.news.yahoo.com/trump-insists-clearly-edited-pic-022323530.html
