The FBI didn't release information about the laptop because it was part of an ongoing investigation so how would these ex intel chiefs know about it? As for your comments about unnamed "hiveminders", that kind of vagueness is typical coming from you.

I would expect evidence-free name calling from you. So whatever Trump says, whenever he says it, can alway be ascribed to negotiating. A good negotiator doesn't have to deny that he said things that he actually said. A good negotiator would never paint himself into that kind of corner. And why would he promise something only to deny it later. He gave the ball away and now wants it back?

Your idea of what constitutes stealing has no legal validity. And once again you call them "the countries top 51 intel chiefs". Not only were they not working for the government when they signed this document, but most of them wouldn't even qualify as chiefs. Once again, you got it wrong. And your allegation that they deliberately misinformed the public I guess depends on your mind reading ability. As has been pointed out to you again and again with evidence that you've never even acknowledged much less attempted to refute, there were plenty of good reasons to doubt the laptop's provenance. They never stated that the laptops were fake. And the Trump campaign hired 2 teams of forensic experts to determine if there was evidence of the election being stolen. They came up with nothing.

The trouble is, as it turns out, the evidence, such as it is, that James committed mortgage fraud establishes no such thing. Whereas it looks like Trump did it at least twice.

Sure. It was the little pony that told him the election was stolen. And it was just an amazing coincidence that he placed the pipe bombs where he did the night before the the insurrectionists converged at Trump's request to protest the "stolen" election. Give it up, already. Next thing we know you'll be telling us that the 2020 election really was stolen and that the little pony got it right.

The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found Trump once did the very thing he called “deceitful and potentially criminal.” In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a “Bermuda style” home in Palm Beach, Florida, pledging that it would be his principal residence. Just seven weeks later, he got another mortgage for a seven-bedroom, marble-floored neighboring property, attesting that it too would be his principal residence. In reality, Trump, then a New Yorker, does not appear to have ever lived in either home, let alone used them as a principal residence. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-mortgage-fraud-florida-principal-residences

Thanks everyone.

Thanks.

A friend of mine is coming from America to Thailand and plans to stay about 50 days starting on Jan 16.. He says that he needs a digital arrival card. I never heard of that. I thought that currently Americans can get a visa on arrival for up to 60 days. Is there such a thing as a Thai Digital Arrival Card?

Unfortunately, Trump's are impossible to swallow.

It's funny. Even Rasmussen has Trump down by 12 points in the polls, but according to you, it's a sure sign that someone isn't an American because it's only non-Americans who use mocking acronyms against him.

So you believe that Trump's turnaround is due to the fact that they are damaging? How can they be damaging if they confirm what Trump and company are claiming?

Are you the party who spelled check this way: cheque hmmm...

President Trump on Monday walked back the support he previously voiced for releasing any video of a second strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat in early September, insisting he never said he supported making the video public, after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declined to commit to releasing the Pentagon's footage. Last week, the president told reporters he didn't know what video existed of the subsequent strike, "but whatever they have, we'd certainly release, no problem." ... On Monday, Mr. Trump said he never voiced support for releasing the video, despite his on-camera comments five days earlier. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-boat-strike-video-walks-back-hegseth/ Serving up another heaping dish of TACO.

The same kind of thinking that characterizes the headline that riclag chose for this thread reminds me of what right wingers were saying during the leadup to the Iraq War. If you were against the war, then you were for Saddam Hussein. It's remarkable how stupid people can be that they still think that the cocaine trade can be severely constricted by strikes on some fast boats. Or that the overthrow of the Maduro regime will ameliorate the problem. The Ecuadorian government has taken a very hardline approach against the cartels. The outcome? It's either the biggest shipper of cocaine out of South America or second after Colombia. Venezuela ranks way down on the list.

Exactly how do you know that Trump's disability was real? Because he said so?

But a dislike of kiddie fiddlers is based on the nature of their crime not about their genetics, unlike your comment about the Somalis. It's kind of funny that you raised the issue of the Norwegians not contributing to the ww2 effort.. You seem to have something in common with their nazi invaders.

obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group. https://www.google.com/search?q=bigotry+definition&oq=bigotry+definition&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDU5ODNqMGo3qAIIsAIB&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

When you've got nothing, you try to make it personal. Whether I'm triggered or not is irrelevant. Your comment "as wrong as that was , technically at least it was more beneficial to the nations genetics than uncontrolled immigration" is clear evidence of bigotry.

Thanks for the stupid generalization. Given that you were trying to downplay the generosity of Norway, you were blaming the Norwegians, who were conquered by Nazi Germani, for not assisting in WW2. Totally bonkers!

OK. So what? He wanted her to look good on the screen. Since when is being helpful proof of a master/puppet relationship. It is to laugh. Just the fact that you even bring this up, demonstrates your obsessiveness.

Given that you apparently don't have a problem with being a bigot, that says it all.

You blamed them for not contributing to WW2. "Yes its contribution to ww2 was Immeasurable ( as there was none)" What don't you understand about the fact that Norway was defeated by the Germans who invaded their country. Did you expect it to contribute to the anti-german war effort once it was occupied? This is nuts! And, of course, how would WW2 be relevant today?

So semi-excusing one bigoted comment, followed up by another.

Thank you for a further example of your lunacy. To a rational person, this would just be a case of someone having a hard time understanding someone else on the phone.
