We?  Bullsh!t!

He didn't do jack sh!t to help win ANY war. He dodged the draft for the only war he could have helped with, letting my friends die in his place.
Yes, America helped solve the problem. 47 just instigates them.

He obviously didn't mean himself personally,

Trump has NEVER failed to take credit for the accomplishments of others.

D-Day was a unified invasion with soldiers from 12 countries working together to defeat the enemy.

I talk with farang and Thais every day. I don't go looking for either of them.
Frankly, the more people I speak with, the more I like my dog. And I don't even have a dog.

Why wet shave, try these. 

In Thailand, no need for a close shave. 

 

I bought a few of these on Lazada. 

 

A must-have for handsome men. 😎

 

Temu and Shopee sell these as low as 18 Baht now. I bought mine for 42 Baht two years ago.  But I only use it to shave my head.

For my face, nothing beats Harry's blades, especially if you strop them before each use. I can get 30-40 'comfortable'  shaves from one (I shave my neck every other day) combined with a very light touch of Gatsby's Shaving gel.

Stropping is the real secret to getting a close, comfortable shave, and increasing the life of the blade. There's a valid reason barbers strop their razors.  I made my strop from a piece of 'Horween's' shell Cordovan horsehide, giving my blades 30-40 strokes before shaving to remove any oxidation that formed overnight. You can use any firm surface to strop; an old leather belt, the palm of your hand (yes, human skin does contain natural silicates, just not as much as cows, horses, or kangaroos,) or even your jeans! If you strop before every shave, and shake your razor dry afterward, you can almost double the number of 'comfortable' shaves.

I'm too delicate to put up with shaving drag.

Keep at it.  Unhinged is what got Trump elected.  It'll also get Vance elected in 2028.

 

 

So long as uneducated Americans keep voting for criminals, yes... that may happen.
With more than half of the American voters having no more than an 11yr old reading/comprehension level so that they don't understand what's happening to them right now (soon, their wallets will alert them to the problem) America will continue to crumble while the rest of the world watches in horror and disbelief!

No American citizens are being deported

On April 25, 2025, a Honduran mother was deported from New Orleans along with her 2-year-old U.S. citizen daughter, identified in court filings as "VML." The child was deported to Honduras before a federal court could intervene, raising serious concerns from the presiding judge about the lack of due process for a U.S. citizen.

On the same day, another Honduran mother was deported with her two U.S. citizen children, ages 4 and 7. The 4-year-old boy was undergoing treatment for metastatic cancer in the United States and was deported without his medication.

THIS is your president in action.

Please cite where he has ignored the Constitution.

Please show documented evidence where due processes hasn’t taken place.

I'm going to assume that you've been living under a rock for the past 100 days...

Trump thinks he has so much power that he can ignore the Constitution.

In America, the Constitution is LAW.  

He is not above the law, although his actions certainly would seem to refute that idea.

Make America Follow the Constitution Again!

Bring back Due Process. Stop deporting American citizens.

If they want a Pope, let 'em have a Pope. People need a leader, regardless of how well or poorly he leads.

I'm also 78 and decided against implants. I only need three, all rear molars, so I opted for little clip-in "Smart Dentures."   These are just a bit larger than a tooth itself, and do not require wires all over your mouth holding them in. I've been using them for the past 4-5 years with virtually no downside. Comfortable (don't even realize you're wearing them,) and cheap.
They cost about 3,000 Baht here, but not all dentists seem to be able to make them.

Believe it or not this sign is real, and was posted on the front door of a restaurant in California. I don't mind tipping but when somebody demands a 25% tip I literally run for the hills. 

 

Recently we got together with some friends for dinner and my friend suggested that we bring food rather than having them cook as usual, so he picked up some paella at a fancy Spanish restaurant in Los Angeles for $110 for two dishes. He then proceeded to tip them 20% because it was on the iPad, we had a bit of a tiff over that as I never have and never will tip for takeout. It's just a ridiculously woke concept and homie don't play that game. I gave him my share of the food and told him the tips on you, that was your mistake. 

 

 

Some years ago, on a trip to the U.S.,  I stopped by a New York City sandwich lunch counter in mid-Manhattan. I sat at the busy counter for several minutes, with 5-6 servers behind the counter completely ignoring me, while taking orders from people who had arrived after me!  I tried politely to catch their attention, but to no avail. 

Finally, a customer sitting next to me said; 

'You have to put your tip on the counter first before they will wait on you.' 

At that point, I noticed that everyone who sat down put a few dollars on the counter in front of them before even looking at the menu.
I left.
I have no problem leaving a gratuity for good service. Happy to do so!
I will NOT cover a worker's salary because the employer is too cheap to pay a living wage.

I've lived and worked in too many countries around the world to know that there is no necessity for patrons to be forced to do that.

I've worked, studied, travelled to over 40 countries, Thailand is the safest by FAR.

 

Thailand has been home for me and my large family, I've lived here over 20 years, never had a problem. 

 

Like to know what he did, he p*ssed someone off.

 

It seems just being in Pattaya is grounds enough for getting into serious altercations. Every day we read about another beating, stabbing, attack by motorcycle taxi drivers, ladyboys beating up another foreigner, etc., etc.

We've lived here in Chiang Mai for 25 years and haven't even been stabbed once!
