  1. And this from the self proclaimed champions and advocates of free speech. George Orwell’s thought police is now a real thing, apparently.
  2. You would defend Jeffrey Epstein, wouldn’t you?
  3. I always love it when criminals accuse the state of violating their human rights.
  4. I love to travel by train, so I’m a little biased. Did the visa run BKK-Butterworth a few times in 1988 and 1989, and also BKK to Singapore (and vice versa) in ‘88. I’m not sure what it is, but I find traveling by train very relaxing. I might give this BKK-KL train a try this winter.
  5. Try watching this:
  6. Isn’t genociding Ukrainians? You want to Google how Putin supporters want to kill every last Ukrainian? Or are already trying to do just that? https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/25/putins-supporters-call-for-the-extermination-of-ukraine.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_genocide_of_Ukrainians_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War
  7. Now imagine if Starmer (or any other European leader) would urge Trump to abandon oil in favor of wind power. Trump and MAGA would all get their panties in a bunch and scream blue murder, for sure. Who died and made Trump king of the universe?
  8. Donny doesn’t remember what he said five minutes ago, and when someone reminds him he just shrugs and says something completely different. And MAGA eats it up and thinks Trump is a strong leader. What a joke.
  9. My father was born in Germany in 1925 and in 1930, because of the great depression, his father decided to move to The Netherlands, in search of work. After finishing elementary school at 11, my father had to get a job to help feed the family. WWII broke out in 1940, and he spent three years (1941-1944) in Berlin, while it was heavily bombed by the English. His two older brothers were draughted into the German army and they were both killed at the eastern front. After the war, my father joined the Dutch army and was sent to Indonesia, where he spent more than 3 years at the frontline. He very probably saw a lot of bad things happen, but he never told us any of it and always spoke highly of the country and (most of) its people. He came back to The Netherlands in 1949. At the age of 24, he had already been through more than most people in three lifetimes. Despite that, he was kind and friendly, and forgiving. He taught me two things that I have always tried to live by: live and let live, and, most importantly, do not do unto others what you would not want others to do unto you. Two very simple basic rules, that a lot more people in the world we live in today should take to heart.
  10. In case this was not a rhetorical question: he already said that at least a hundred times.
  11. The only plan to end the war that Trump has is to throw Ukraine under the bus, give Russia everything they want and secure some billion dollar business deals with Russia in return for that. MAGA!!!!
  12. Here’s what Trump posted on his ‘Truth Social’. I wonder what’s more important to him: ending the war, or resuming trade with the fascist Putin regime. Why would he specifically mention trade?
  13. Wildlife trafficking is hugely profitable (and I’m talking billions and billions of dollars), especially for the people high(est) up in the chain. When someone gets caught, it’s almost always some poor schmuck who does the actual smuggling, not the kingpins who profit the most from this sordid business. And of course this is Thailand, where anyone can be bought. The top traffickers operate in the background, out of sight, they pay bribes to lots of officials to ‘grease the wheels’, and when they do get in trouble they just throw more money at it to make the problem go away.
  14. The Democrat-Marxists. Wow. I see you’ve been reading too much of the MAGA playbook again.
  15. Trump and his cronies have been lying about this for weeks, if not months, that they were busy negotiating a deal with China. And China flat out denied it. Who are you going to believe?
