USA Trump’s Bold D.C. Crime Crackdown Unfolds on National Mall

Maybe dig a moat around the WH, fly in a couple dozen alligators and create a mini alligator alcatraz for the resident lawbreakers. -
USA Trump’s Bold D.C. Crime Crackdown Unfolds on National Mall
rudi49jr replied to webfact's topic in World News
So in 2020 Trump blamed Nancy Pelosi for not calling in the National Guard to end the Capitol riots, and said he didn’t have the authority to do that. And what do you know, it turns out Trump does have the authority to deploy the National Guard after all. Lying sack of <deleted>. And not a peep from MAGA, who defended Trump when he said he didn’t have the authority to do this in 2020. Double standard hypocrites, every last one of them.- 33 replies

UK Cotswolds Chaos: Locals Revolt Against JD Vance’s Visit

Apparently the Secret Service knocked on people’s doors and asked them about their ‘social media profile’. The arrogance of this Gestapo 2.0 is truly astounding. -
USA Maxwell Clears Trump: DOJ Considers Releasing Interview
rudi49jr replied to webfact's topic in World News
Oh goodie, yet another MAGA cult member trying to defend the indefensible. What a shocker. Sigh. Okay, let's delve into this, shall we? "Maxwell never "forced" anyone to have sex with Epstein." Maybe you should brush up on your reading skills, because that's not what I said. I said that the girls were forced to have sex with clients of Maxwell and Epstein. "Maxwell never "forced" anyone to have sex with Epstein. All they had to do was to promise money and other material enticements and all the girls consented with almost no exceptions. Physical force was never used." That's a rather bold claim, to say the least. How exactly do you know that (physical) force was never used? Do you have any proof/evidence for that claim? If so, please share it with us. Or were you there? Were you present just before or during every single sexual encounter that Maxwell and/or Epstein facilitated, and you personally witnessed that no force was used? "All they had to do was to promise money and other material enticements and all the girls consented with almost no exceptions." So it's all A-okay if underage girls are promised money or other enticements and then consent to have sex with (much) older guys, is it? That's strange, because last time I checked it's still illegal to have sex with underage girls, even if they do 'consent'. I believe it's called statutory rape. And given your weird definition of consent, you'd be totally okay with your 14-15-16-year-old daughter having sex with a 50-year-old guy in exchange for money or whatever, right? Not to put too fine a point on it, but do you think it's a fair and level playing field if some rich and powerful older guy offers a 14-15-year-old girl money or promises her whatever? You don't see anything wrong with that? "There is no "client" list, because Epstein didn't have "clients", he wasn't running a sex trafficking operation for others, but for himself alone." Wow, if you really believe that, you must also still believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. So all those rich guys went to Epstein's island (some of them many times) just to get a good tan and play some cards? What did the underage girls do on the island when those rich guys were there? They probably just serve drinks, right? And if there is no client list, why did Pam Bondi say in February that it was right in front of her, on her desk? Epstein was a clever guy. He probably knew very well that what he was doing was not only wrong, but also illegal, and that it could land him in jail. So of course he made sure he had 'the goods' on everyone who used his 'services', as insurance, just in case someone later started to feel remorse and was tempted to go to the police. By the way, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted (among many other things) of sex trafficking. That usually involves some kind of coersion, pressure or force. So the very concept of consent goes out the window right away when sex trafficking is involved. What I see on your part is a pathetic attempt to defend and protect your dear leader, at all cost. Just like all those other despicable MAGA zealots who had been screaming for years for the release of the Epstein files and the client list, but have now done a complete 180 because Trump is (or may be) implicated. Typical cult behavior, no matter how you slice it. -
USA Maxwell Clears Trump: DOJ Considers Releasing Interview
rudi49jr replied to webfact's topic in World News
This is not about how Trump (or anyone else involved) acted towards Ghislaine Maxwell. This is about how Maxwell ‘recruited’ many girls, many of them underage, and more or less forced them to have sex with one or more of her ‘clients’. And like I stated before: unlike MAGA, I don’t care who’s on the client list. If it’s Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Donald Trump or the pope himself. I just want all of them to be investigated, if necessary prosecuted and if found guilty, convicted and thrown in jail for a very long time. No exceptions!!! -
Report Trump's Bold Bid: Talks with Putin and Zelensky on the Horizon
rudi49jr replied to webfact's topic in World News
Maybe (and this is a big ‘maybe’) Trump will get Putin and Zelensky to talk to each other directly. But even if that happens, I don’t believe for a minute that Putin is willing to make any concessions. Putin has made it very clear that he doesn’t care if he has to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives, or wreck the Russian economy. He’s not going to back down, because that would mean the end of him, probably quite literally. Trump has been talking a big game about the Russia-Ukraine war, that he was going to end it on day one of his presidency, or even before he got inaugurated. So far, though, he has accomplished nothing, as is also the case with many other of Trump’s promises. Yet the MAGA rubes keep twisting their brains into pretzels so that they can keep believing Trump’s lies. It beggars belief.- 28 replies

USA Trump’s Odd Speeches Raise New Doubts About His Mental Acuity

USA Trump’s Odd Speeches Raise New Doubts About His Mental Acuity
rudi49jr replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Lies in this short quote alone: 1. He didn’t win in a landslide, he won the popular vote 49.81% to 48.31% for Harris. I would hardly call that a landslide. 2. His poll numbers now are not much better than during the election. 3. Jasmine Crockett does not have a low IQ. I will bet you dollars to donuts that her IQ is much higher than Trump’s. And has anyone noticed that he always refers to black people he doesn’t like or hates as ‘low IQ’? It’s just one of Trump’s many ways of being a filthy racist. -
Report Trump Deploys Nuclear Subs Amid Russia Tensions
rudi49jr replied to webfact's topic in World News
Yeah, right. From ‘president no new wars’ to president who started WWIII, more likely. Aren’t you the people who claimed Trump wouldn’t start any new wars? So far he has bombed Iran, Jemen and Syria, and threatened to annex Canada, Greenland and the Panama canal by force. And now he’s running his mouth about deploying two nuclear submarines closer to Russia. Probably just to let his pal Vlad know not to be alarmed. What a tactical mastermind! What a stable genius! -

USA Ghislaine Maxwell’s Staggering Demands for Congressional Testimony
rudi49jr replied to webfact's topic in World News
Maxwell’s attorney Markus can say whatever the hell he wants, because there were only three people present: Maxwell, Markus and Todd Blanche, who was Trump’s personal lawyer and is now the number 2 guy in the DOJ. So I’m not completely sure (small understatement there) that we’re getting the whole truth as to what was being talked about and discussed during those meetings. All I know is that Maxwell can (possibly) drop the hammer on Trump, and that is something Trump and his sycophants want to prevent from happening, at all cost. Anyone with more than two functioning brain cells can connect the dots…. -
My girlfriend has developed chronic back pain and I think a few visits to a physical therapist would be good for her. Get a few treatments/massages, and also have the therapist teach my girlfriend the exercises she needs to do to keep her back in shape. Can anyone recommend a good physical therapist in Hua Hin? Thanks!

Exactly, it’s like painting a target on these animals. I remember a program on National Geographic some 20-25 years ago about some expedition into Kaeng Krachan that found evidence of quite a few tigers living in the park. An expedition 15 years later found zero evidence of tigers still living there. Recent findings are that there are still a few tigers in the park, but not nearly as many as were found on that expedition 25 years ago.
