  1. So now, overnight, we are all bar stool experts on Sudan? There are no problems we cannot fix after several Leos.
  2. Jump to conclusions much do you?
  3. And their was I thinking it was about a deflection from Trump in the Epstein files.
  4. Buyers remorse? Be more careful next time.
  5. Kids learnt this is preschool, but I suppose its targeted at a US voter audience.
  6. You are not very good at guessing are you?
  7. Someones brain must be cooked on this issue methinks. It is fundamentally misguided to prioritize political expediency over legal norms, bending rules based on your "politics" risks eroding civil liberties for all. Accepting warrantless home entries solely because they align with one's views on immigration could echo authoritarian tendencies, where state power overrides individual rights without due process. Fascism or more accurately a concern about rule of law erosion comes to mind; thats a good thing in your cooked mind is it? Democrats "Importing Illegals" for political purposes is a baseless claim rooted in conspiracy theories dreamed up by the political party faithful that conned you. There is ZERO evidence of Democrats systematically "importing" migrants to gain votes. Undocumented immigrants cannot vote in federal elections, and naturalization (to become voting citizens) takes 5+ years with strict requirements. Studies show illegal immigration has minimal partisan impact on House seats or electoral votes—0 to 1 extra Democratic seat at most, not the exaggerated 20 claimed by some. The alleged purpose (boosting voter rolls or apportionment) doesn't hold up factually, as census counts affect representation but not in a way that reliably favors one party long-term. But never let a good conspiracy theory get in the way of facts in that cooked mind of yours eh?
  8. Stop making stuff up. Pretty sure there are no Pakistani convenience stores in Udon.
  9. What a stupid selfish response. How is someone supposed to get a job if they are in need of medical assistance?
  10. To be honest I am not sure of this colleagues dates and he could be like you with an eleven month passport validity for the next 1 yr extension stamp application, all I am sure was it was less than a year. My main question was whether immigration even entertain the idea of applying with less than a year of passport remaining and it seems you all agree they do, so thanks for that. Not something I would do, I'd just get a new passport earlier and stay on my existing renewal schedule, but each to their own.
  11. Based on experience as one criminal and terrorist state that murders its own #minnesota?
  12. How you know she tried to kill him? Have you not considered she might have been trying to do something else that did not require an instant assassination?
  13. An Australian colleague is saying he is planning to maximize the use of his passport (which are some of the most expensive in the world) by getting his next 1 year Non O retirement extension with less than a year remaining on the passport. The idea being the passport yearly cost is higher than the 1 year extension of 1900THB. So he plans to get a 4 or 6 month extension instead of 1 year, then reapply another 1 year extension when he gets the new passport having maximized his costs associated with the use of the old passport. For me it seems plausible but I won't be doing that with my extension as my passports are cheaper and I will renew over a year in advance. My question is an neither of us have held passports to expiry before whilst on extensions, is his idea workable or will immigration create some problem? Its in Bangkok if that matters?
  14. To me this kind of reaction implies learning difficulties.
  15. Vice President JD Vance did post and repost the cellphone video (filmed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross) multiple times on X on January 9, 2026, using it to back the administration's false narrative that Renee Nicole Good was a "radical" who endangered the agent's life by weaponizing her vehicle, akin to "domestic terrorism." The version shared cuts just after the initial confrontation and vehicle movement, with gunshots audible but not visually shown (no explicit firing or aftermath wounds), ending with Ross muttering "f***ing bitch" as he walks away. It does not clearly depict her ramming or running over anyone—instead, Good appears conversational ("I'm not mad at you," waving agents on) before accelerating forward while turning right (away from Ross), with any "impact" seeming like camera jostling rather than bodily harm. Ross is seen walking freely immediately after, uninjured, which aligns with Mayor Jacob Frey's criticism that this contradicts self-defense claims of imminent threat or being "run over." She comes across more as a frustrated community observer or protester trying to disengage than a terrorist. Vance's amplification adds partisan spin by insisting on "media dishonesty", much like you spread and self-defense without addressing video ambiguities, which has intensified protests in Minneapolis (now entering day 3 with clashes) and online backlash, as critics argue it inflames divisions rather than de-escalating.
  16. What do you mean Or is it? How can you post multiple times a single biased viewpoint without knowing all the facts? That is something only Trump and his yes team does in the USA these days. There were no confirmed law violations by Good prior to agents approaching her vehicle, per local officials, eyewitnesses, and family (she was described as innocently present or waving traffic through after dropping her child at school). However, federal officials (DHS Secretary Kristi Noem) claimed her SUV was deliberately blocking and impeding their stuck vehicle during an immigration operation, refusing commands—prompting agents to approach, demand she exit, grab the door handle, and reach inside. Videos show her reversing briefly then accelerating forward (turning right, away from the shooter per analyses), which some witnesses attribute to panic from the aggressive approach and conflicting orders (one reportedly telling her to drive away). Federal narrative frames the initial contact as responding to obstruction; critics call it escalation against a non-threatening driver.
  17. So what if she was? Protesting is a legal right for most peoples and one should not be shot in the head for it.
  18. That is the same video along with the one taken from behind the car that clearly shows the ICE agent was barely touched, certainly not rammed as he was able to pump bullets in the drivers head through the left drivers window as she was trying to escape the attack. If you cannot see that fact, your vision is sorrily blinkered by extremist rhetoric echo chamber nonsense.
  19. It's not America, just Trump and his yes men. Try to keep up. Here is a reminder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf9_KLRTzGs
  20. You must have watched the wrong video as no one was rammed by a car in the Minnesota incident. Perhaps go and look at the correct video, its widely available to see the woman is simply trying to evade capture by masked thugs of Trumps private army.
  21. No it does not. Unless like you, readers are trapped in the right wing extremist echo chamber, most normal thinking persons will stop at your first sentence when they see its New York Post and spot the propaganda red flag.
  22. Or maybe in an ICE detention center about to be deported by Trumps secret police force?
  23. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said an ICE officer was "viciously" run over. "It is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital," he wrote. The video in the first post on this thread shows no run being run over, and the shooter walking down the road immediately after pumping three bullets into the woman. Who is one going to believe, the POTUS or ones own lying eyes seeing the video evidence in front of us of excessive Fed force being used to murder?
  24. The POTUS declaring the victim guilty and the shooter justified before an investigation is totally reckless. Law enforcement officers deserve fairness, but so do civilians. Where is the leadership in this banana republic?
  25. You are referring to seeing the agent in your video in the op who remained standing normally after the driver sped off to his right. The agent who could pump off several bullets into the driver as she tried to escape the use of unnecessary lethal force? The agent who was then able to walk immediately down the street after his prey and help pull her body out the car like a sack of potatoes? Can you see this agent behind bars in a civilized normal society?
