In case this was not a rhetorical question: he already said that at least a hundred times.

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!!!!

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?

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.

The Democrat-Marxists. Wow. I see you’ve been reading too much of the MAGA playbook again.

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?

Where can I buy the best glutenfree bread (preferable whole grain) in Bangkok?

Perhaps they should ship his drunk @ss to Ukraine and force him to spend a few weeks at the frontline, so he can experience firsthand the warcrimes that Russia is committing there. Maybe it will make him think twice about the real nature of the Russian regime, and wanting to lift the sanctions and going back to doing business with them as if nothing had happened.

That’s why they have decided to invest hundreds of billions of euros (700 billion, if memory serves) in boosting the economy - both industry and energy sectors - and strengthening their military defense.

How does that equate to ‘AfD would have and should have won’?

This post just shows your utter ignorance on this matter. Germany has a one man/woman, one vote system. No districts, no electoral college, nothing. Here’s how that worked out in percentages. So don’t give me that BS that AfD should have and would have won.

The AfD did not win the election, as far as I know, not even close. And a party that’s all buddy buddy with Russia and whose leader called Hitler a socialist should not be allowed anywhere near a position of power.

There is no large scale denial of Russia’s role in the defeat of Germany, as far as I know. The rising tide of hatred of Russia is totally on Putin, his fascist kleptocratic regime, their efforts to undermine western democracies and their illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

The head cuckoo of the German AfD party, Alice Weidel, also calls Hitler a socialist. But it’s not so strange that the far right is trying so hard to shift the blame for the holocaust from fascism to socialism, is it? Maybe the members on this forum pushing the narrative that nazis were socialists should read this: https://www.brittanica.com/story/were-the-nazis-socialists

Some misguided (extreme) right wing ignoramuses have been trying for years to sell Hitler and his nazi movement as socialist. You’re not one of those, are you?

I don’t mind the facial hair that much. It’s the pony tail and the man bun that make me cringe, especially when old(er) guys try to pull that off. And there are all these ‘barber shops’ now. What’s that about?

Bit of a naive narrative, isn’t it? If even the death penalty is not enough of a deterrent to stop people from committing certain crimes, how is deportation going to be a deterrent?

I didn’t read all the posts in this thread, but here’s my two cents. * If you sleep on your back a lot: that usually aggravates the sleep apnea. There is a device that you can wear at night which wakes you up when you roll over on your back, so that you can roll over on your side again. * I’m not sure if an MRA (mandibular repositioning appliance) would be something for you, that’s just for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea. I’ve had one for years and it helped me tremendously: it improved my sleep quality and I never woke up once anymore feeling as if I was breathing my last. So no more fear of going to sleep. Or of never waking up again. * Obvious lifestyle changes can be losing weight, no more alcohol and no more smoking. More exercise is always a good idea. * Also, a regular lifestyle helps: three meals a day at (more or less) set times, and going to bed at night and getting up in the morning at (more or less) set times.

Delusions of grandeur comes to mind….

Same for me. I lost almost 15 kilos, also stopped drinking and smoking. Used to wear one of those MRA mouth guards for years, but don’t need it anymore.

And telling porkies is?

MAGA is irony impaired. Same goes for empathy, decency, reality and basic common sense.

At least one good things came of Trump’s madness. Hope something similar is going to happen in other countries Trump is trying to bully.

“Don't you get tired of fear mongering” Don’t you get tired of sticking your head in the sand? Besides, you do a fair bit if fear mongering yourself, painting ‘the left’ as evil incarnate every chance you get.

Define “real man”? The exact opposite of you.
