  1. Do you need something like ExLax or Metamucil to produce "facts" like that, or do you just reach up your fatuga and pull them out? Did you round off that 99%? Could it be that only "lefties" are intelligent enough to get into medical school and eventually do a psychiatric residency and internship?
  2. Wonderful for you that you live your life for people you will never know, but I guess I couldn't care less what other people think of my life choices. Thais might gossip about me using colloquial language I cannot understand? That impacts my life pleasure how? I guess if I was insecure and needed the validation of outsiders, it might hurt, but I don't, so it wouldn't. I don't have a Thai wife, but if I happened to fall in love with a woman who worked or works in the industry, the only thing I would care about is how we get along together. The opinions of fat old grumpy foreigners are of no importance, nor are the comments of Thai people who think everyone in the world cares about "face". All of those people, as well as myself and any woman I choose to spend time with, are going to be dust in 50-80 years and gone forever from existence, so the ONLY thing that matters is how my chosen partner and I enjoyed this all too brief life. What a waste of your single existence to worry about what meaningless outsiders think about you or gossip about you behind your back! Maybe you should try living for yourself and your loved ones, rather than people who will forget you exist two seconds after you're out of their line of sight. Now to get to the OP's question....whatever I think about a mixed couple should not be of any concern to the couple. Maybe that thought would pop into my head, but that only affects me. Good for them if they are getting what they want, as they pass from cradle to grave/urn.
  3. On the one hand they're probably all laughing at Trump and how easy it is to manipulate him. On the other hand, they are wondering how they, too, can gather a gaggle of groveling, weak, Beta sycophants as unctuous and obsequious as Trump's Carnival People Administration.
  4. Don't you have a messiah to worship? There was a time when real men were strong. There was a time when real men had brains. There was a time when real men had pride. There was a time when real men had self-respect. There was a time when the United States of America stood for something grand and noble, even if it was a work-in-progress. Now, it's a joke. A cult. Jim Jones is now POTUS, and though the Kool-Aid hasn't yet killed the body, it has killed the souls. Trump is anathema to real men. To groveling sycophantic girlymen and betas, Trump is the Second Coming. To real men, he's a clown and an embarrassment. The Surgeon General should run DNA checks on Trump and all of his Carnival People Administration. Not a single Y chromosome in the group, save perhaps for Melania.
  5. I'm sure Trump, who has appointed himself head of the Los Angeles Olympic Committee, is going to introduce a new sport for the games: A race up his fatuga to see who can get the first bite of Extra Crispy.
  6. Kim Jong-un is going to execute a few generals unless they suck up to him as unctuously as Trump's Carnival People Betas do.
  7. I scanned a few of the threads about Gaza. The same MAGAnistas blaming these two horrible deaths on "lefties" or LGBTQ+ are quite comfortable with tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian children blown up or starved to death. Innocent is innocent (unless you're a racist MAGAnista, though that is redundant). Crocodile tears for the two poor kids in the church. The self-hatred of MAGAnistas, who try to live vicariously through their fat, demented messiah, is the real "syndrome". Lifelong losers think they finally win something, albeit only in proxy through their false god. It's also silly that MAGAnistas cherish only the 2nd Amendment. Like the clown in the Oval Office, they think it's time to change the 1st, the 4th, the 14th and the 19th. Of course the freedoms noted in the 1st, 4th, and 19th are eternal and basic human rights. The Founders had no need to see into the future when they penned them. OTOH, the common weapon owned by citizens when Madison and Jefferson were writing was the musket. As bright as both men were, none could have imagined the AR-15, or even a semi-auto handgun. Congress has long put limits on what fits in the "right to bear arms". One cannot own a bazooka, or A-10 with a GAU-8 cannon that shoots depleted uranium rounds. Thus, there is no inherent right to own an AR-15.
  8. Will guns defend against these batsh!t crazy violent right wingers and MAGAnistas? Michael Estes, Curtis Allen, Gavin Wright, Patrick Stein, Adam Purinton, Jeremy Christian, Wade Page, Edgar Welch, Sam Woodward, James Fields, Dylann Roof, Robert Bowers, Ian David Long, Cesar Sayoc, Gregory Bush, Stephen Paddock, Christopher Hansson
  9. Apparently you fail to read Trump's social media posts. I believe that is considered a kind of heresy in MAGAstan, but I won't tell the masked stormtroopers. Trump is the king of "DERANGED" "CROOKED" "LOSER" "LOW RATINGS" "LOW IQ" (reserved for Black people). Trump has so much hate to give that even Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and Nicolle Wallace get a dose. Nobody hates like Trump. Many people are saying he's the best hater ever.
  10. Perhaps Monte is a few cards short of a full deck. Look at which States have the highest number of people on Social Security Disability Insurance and SNAP... Red States Look at the relative GDP of Counties Trump won vs the Democrats. Trump won 85% of all US Counties, but collectively they total only 37% of US GDP. The 15% of Counties the Dems won account for 63% of US GDP. Do the math: Dem areas are 9.25 times more productive than Repub areas. Democrats and Liberals make continued existence possible for slacker MAGAs. That is the Dems main fault. The Blue States, who on balance are the largest net contributors to the Federal Budget, could secede and leave MAGAstan destitute.
  11. I suspect before the idiocy of MAGA ends, the real "escape" from the madness will not be measured by the number of individuals, but as States. California has absolutely no reason to remain as a US State. The world's 4th largest economy, Silicon Valley (where billionaires' affections blow with the direction of the wind), agriculture, defense industry, and a place ready to make its own trade deals far removed from TACO's tariffs is a stand alone power in this world. If CA seceded, Oregon and Washington would likely join. Such a move would prompt the same on the east coast, with all of New England, NY, NJ, DE, MD and eastern PA forming their own nation. Michigan could join Canada, and if Pritzker can do it, Illinois, too. MAGAnistas would have their unwoke paradise monarchy, albeit with an economy that would make Venezuela look like an economic juggernaut. MAGANistas could learn to clap like trained seals, a la the people of North Korea. They could install a White Jeebus kind of KKKristianity as the official faith, with Trump acting as their Pope as well as dictator and monarch. KFC and McDonalds could be put at the top of the food pyramid, and ketchup could be reclassified as a sacrament. Since Georgia would remain part of MAGAstan, Trump could award himself the Green Jacket for "winning" The Masters, and his caddy could toss out the ceremonial First Cheat to start off the tournament each year. What would be left in terms of supporters would be pretty much all Trump has left now: fat old "angry" unsuccessful white guys getting measured for the box, who could depart the earthly plain any day now, and young Incels who think Taylor Swift ruined their chances to ever find a willing female partner. One wonders if that Best Paradise Ever would draw back home the MAGAs now counting their ever-shrinking cookie jar of baht in Thailand with their former bargirl cashier pyrite-digger.
  12. Wingate replied to Tug's topic in Political Soapbox
    Oh come on you radical leftist Marxist Commie wokies! The guy is the absolute picture of health. His 50+" waist just screams Gym Bro. Why I bet the guy can lift a giant bucket of extra crispy KFC like it was chiffon cake. I imagine he built up that kind of strength lifting a glass of water, as his cocktail frank fingers are not quite long enough to allow him to palm a drinking glass. I'll bet he also can drive all the way to where his caddy drops another golf ball, after his real ball made a splash. And speaking of splashes, I bet he does a great belly flop at the Mar-a-Lago pool. I hear some people are saying it's the best belly flop ever. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. And his mental acuity...GOODNESS! He even remembers conversations that never happened, like the one with his stable genius uncle who taught the Unabomber at a school Ted never attended, and told stories to little donny about what kind of student Ted K was....a decade before anyone even knew the Unabomber's name. Incredible. And how's this for multi-tasking: While he was filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey, he also stopped the worst Holocaust in the history of the world, the 7,000,000 (sic) slaughtered in Rwanda in 1994. Despite "machetes machetes everywhere" he was able not only to declare bankruptcy, but halt the tribal blood lust thousands of miles away. I bet he did that with his mind, the same way he declassified all those documents he stole after Term 1.
  13. Thank you for reminding me that among MAGAnistas, who share IQs on the same level as turnips, one must always use: /sarc even when it's patently obvious. And before anyone steps in to correct me, the one song I know of Ms Swift is actually called "Shake it Off" (I erred and wrote Shake it Up). I heard it in the gym again and now have gotten the name right. And I'll repeat: as a card-carrying Capitalist, I applaud her kind of success. Nobody hurt, unlike a guy who regularly stiffed contractors on his way to 6 bankruptcies. I've read that much of her audience is early or pre-teen, and it is common for dads to take their daughters to her shows. I guess MAGAnistas hate genuine family values. They seem to prefer dads who go schtupp porn stars when 3rd wifey is home taking care of the new infant. But Taylor BAD! LOL. To somehow say she is responsible for any ills in society---if being a 30ish female owner of cats is somehow a societal ill---is the height of MAGA insanity and idiocy. I'm going to guess Ms Swift doesn't really care that a gaggle of misogynist losers are critical of how she lives her life. As Oscar Wilde once put it so well: "People may boo me, but when I go home and think of my money, I applaud myself."
  14. When his signature is bigger than his manhood, it follows that such insecurity will bring a desire for power, which is behind all of his fascist acts and un-American rhetoric. That insecurity was never so clear as in the 2016 Presidential debate, when he felt the need to pretend he's carrying more than an enoki mushroom. Odd---or maybe not---that his insecurity and envy surfaced when he used a campaign speech to take about Arnold Palmer's junk. He isn't so envious of Paler's golf game, because Trump knows he can cheat at golf and award himself all the championships he can invent. About his junk, however, he can't lie, he can't pretend. Everyone from Ivana to Stormy, and maybe even Ivanka, knows he comes up shorter than short. Sadly, for a while the world must suffer his woeful insecurity.
  15. The example the convicted felon and his Carnival People administration are setting will likely be used by the Democrats when they retake the White House, Senate and House in 2028, and MAGAs can void into the wind whinging for all the good it will do them. Since many Red States are already essentially Nanny States, the new Dem Admin can federalize them for their own good. Like matches in the hands of small children, loser Red States don't really have any business governing themselves. They lack the "necessities". Most seem to have as they major "employer" SSDI and SNAP. Currently Gavin Newsom is doing his delightful parody of Trump, and the MAGAs are already going apoplectic, ignoring their own obvious hypocrisy. When President Newsom enters office in January 2029, I suspect his first act on Day 1 will be bulldozing the obscene concrete patio Trump installed over the once lovely Rose Garden lawn, as an example of what is to come under an America that will truly be back on the road to greatness, after the fascist detour, idiocy and tastelessness known as MAGA. There will be three equal branches of government again, and the US Constitution will again be the law of the land.
  16. I ran some of the misogynists' and Incels' comments through ChatGPT, and in a nutshell, this is how it answered: ---Those disparaging a rich, popular and accomplished celebrity are generally both short in stature and small in a certain appendage. At 5'11", they feel intimidated and know full well they could not satisfy her. ---They are of the view that women who have had more than one partner are sluts, but guys who must buy women for sex think they are stud muffins ---They tend toward a total lack of any meaningful accomplishment or success in their entire lives, so a person who wildly succeeds---especially a female---makes them feel inadequate, and in some cases, "angry" ---Any female who doesn't swoon over them, which is to say every human being in possession of two X chromosomes, is a "radical feminist cat women" You've got to love the honesty of AI !
  17. The misogyny and Incel-ness runs thick and deep on this one. I suppose Ms Swift is intimidating to weak men. She's apparently 5'11" in her bare feet, which likely towers over many of the Incels, and she is---unlike the MAGA messiah---a totally self-made billionaire. No massive allowance, no co-signed loans from daddy, no bankruptcies declared, and no $412 million inheritance....just an estimated net worth of $1.8 billion. I only know one of her songs (Shake It Up), as it's often played in the gym I attend, but I have seen articles that claim she's smart, emotionally strong, and a slick marketer and business person. Too bad the self-claimed "greatest dealmaker ever" wasn't a tenth as good in business, despite him being dishonest, stiffing contractors, saved countless times by daddy, and eventually made a fantasy figure good enough to fool the goobers (by Mark Burnett). That enabled him finally to grift off his elected position and make some money. Absent his silver spoon upbringing, he'd be pouring Slurpies in a 7-11 at a truck stop on some midwest Interstate, or putting hi-test in Ms Swift's Rolls. As a dyed-in-the-wool Capitalist, I applaud honest success, even if her art is not something I would sample. The role model of working hard, taking control of one's life, and paying great attention to detail is not just for females, but those Incels also would be wise to take a page out of Ms Swift's book. They might not be so angry if finally something in their life turned out positive.
  18. Didn't we hear incessantly from both Trump and MAGAs how Putin had no respect for President Biden? Compared to how Putin is treating Trump, Putin honored Biden like a god. The silly claim that "If Trump were President, Putin never would have invaded Ukraine" now looks so silly. Give it up, MAGAs. Trump is Putin's door mat. This total lack of respect---even contempt for Trump by Putin---will not go unnoticed by Xi and Kim Jong-un. Expect some East Asian saber rattling to begin soon. BTW, three decades ago, before he was called TACO, Graydon Carter wrote an infamous article for Spy magazine where he referred to Trump's short fingers as cocktail franks, and subsequently gave him the moniker "the short-fingered vulgarian". Apparently Trump never got over that. Carter says he still received envelopes from Trump with images of Trump and his hands, with a gold Sharpie line drawn around the hands, trying to tell Carter he was wrong. THAT is the level of insecurity Trump has, and rest assured Putin, Xi, Kim and anyone else who deals with Trump has been briefed by staff about all of that. Leaders are always briefed on the weaknesses of the person they are to meet, and the volume on Trump must be thicker than an old Manhattan telephone directory. The whole world is laughing. Oh, and what afternoon is Trump going to end the Ukraine invasion? There's been a lot of afternoons since 20 January 2025, but the particular afternoon to end all afternoons has yet to arrive.
  19. Maybe Melania Trump? A former softcore porn model who allegedly lied on her Einstein (or is that Epstein?) Visa application, who headed off to ostensibly comfort victims of a natural disaster wearing a jacket carrying the words, "I don't care; do you?"
  20. Quelle surprise! Let's see.....a woman who was convicted of trafficking young girls to her boss and customers, and was given a long prison sentence to be served in a less-than-country club prison, tells the people who have the power to either send her to a cushy detention facility of even pardon her, exactly what they want to hear. It is odd, however, that the transcript had to be 'heavily redacted'. National secrets, no doubt. Nobody could possibly have even the slightest doubt that she would tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God man who can pardon. I'm sure this will finally put the sordid matter to rest once and for all. The man who admits he walked into the dressing room of teen girls "with no clothes" in a pageant, who spoke on tape of being able to "grab'em by the puXXy", who was civilly convicted of sexual assault, and who had a long relationship with the mastermind at a time when the man was abusing underage girls, is obviously as clean as a virgin's honeypot (hat tip Shawshank Redemption). And even if he's not clean, he has every right to do what he wants. He's the Second Coming, you know. His AG obviously was mistaking the menu from KFC for something called the Epstein Files, which she had on her desk. Honest mistake.
  21. If I thought you had any money, I'd be happy to wager any sum you want. Heck, I'd even spot you 100 lbs on the bench press at the gym, and I'd still crush whatever you can lift. In fact, pick two other MAGAnistas and I'll let you combine your PBs, and I'll still out lift you. I'm a totally natty guy, too. I know MAGAs tend toward obesity and lack of muscular definition. They think imitation (of their messiah) is the sincerest form of flattery.
  22. Virtue signal? No, I do something anathema to MAGAnistas: I live a life where I try to add some good to the world, because I feel it is a responsibility of those who ‘somehow’ benefited greatly from an accident of birth. I have given away more money that you will make in ten lifetimes. Unlike your messiah, I wasn’t handed hundreds of millions from a successful father. I built my own wealth. I can say this, because I am anonymous. Nobody could pick me out of a crowd of 2. Maybe you’d know I’m not MAGA, because I’m quite fit. No, I’m not Bill Gates, but I earned more money than 99.999% of the 8.5 billion people walking the planet today, and I believe that comes with a responsibility. Let me explain how non-MAGAs act. I chose some poor areas of the world, where the folks were not born as lucky. I built schools. I built electric grids. I put in sewer systems, because even kids were walking barefoot in excrement. I provided medical care and dental care. I bought food for those who needed it. I bought clothes. I bought books for the kids to go to school, and the top students I sent to major cities in their countries to study in boarding schools. I funded everything out of my own pocket, accepting no donations, because donations often come with political or religious views. My goal was just to try to level the playing field. Unlike MAGAs, who think even infants are guilty because they are the same ethnicity as vile terrorists like Hamas, I know the difference between innocent and guilty. I am disgusted by the callousness of people who think the kids somehow deserve their suffering because of their race. That is the very definition of racist, and it is quite apparent in this thread. It’s appalling, but very very MAGA. So you will take this as a kind of virtue signaling. Up to you, if that makes you feel better about your own life, which I suspect offered nothing to anyone in need ever. You might even think you are solely responsible for whatever comfort you might experience. You are not. You were just born lucky. The children in Gaza were not born lucky. They are not guilty. They are being slaughtered and people like you are okay with that. There’s no room for decency nor morality in MAGAstan. MAGA exists as yet another reminder of the evil inherent in so many humans, but everywhere decent people will rise up to toss that vile ideology into the dustbin of history.
  23. You and Nick Fuentes have a lot in common. Maybe Trump will invite you to dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
  24. When I view a movie such as Schindler's List or The Pianist, I once again see the horrors of the Holocaust and am reminded yet again of the evil inside so many human beings. When I read through many of the callous MAGA comments in this thread or in any thread discussing the innocent deaths in Gaza, I am again reminded of the evil inside many human beings. There are people here who would be Amon Goeth, if only given the opportunity. See their comments. Know them. Evil among us.
