  1. The German government doesn’t have anything to do with pressing charges against these fascists, it’s the German judiciary. Separation of powers, remember? I agree with you that they must be barking mad, but these morons actually and really tried to stage a coup. That is not made up and not a dream, but grim reality. That it apparently doesn’t fit your narrative is another matter altogether. Many western intelligence agencies have come to the same conclusion: that the greatest threat to our democracy right now are extreme right wing groups. Or do you not agree with that either?
  2. Being religious makes a person thoughtful and moral? I can agree with you to some extent, but religion in the US is often very hardcore and rightwing. Those dozens of millions of evangelicals, for example, scare the crap out of me. Almost all of them support Trump, who is not exactly a poster boy for morality, to put it very mildly. I wouldn’t call him thoughtful either.
  3. I wouldn’t call Tim Scott reasonably sane. He’s a deeply religious person and that alone disqualifies him for me. All those religious GOP members who take the Bible completely literally (like Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House) fill me with dread. Scott, for instance, is 100% pro life and would vote for the most conservative and strict anti abortion law possible. He’s also in favor of cutting taxes, because ‘it empowers families to make decisions for themselves’. That’s a nice way of saying: ‘if you can’t hack it, you can just suck it and die’.
  4. I’m betting he will if Trump is also tested. Why test just one candidate?
  5. It always cracks me up how certain posters here keep ragging on Biden for being senile, demented or on drugs, while their guy Trump is in fact the perfect example of someone suffering from rapid cognitive decline. I will be the first to admit that Biden’s mental state is slipping somewhat at times, but I’m quite sure who will be holding the short end of the stick in the unlikely event of Biden and Trump both doing a cognitive test or some kind of psychiatric evaluation before their first debate. Hint: it’s not going to be the guy who’s currently in the White House.
  6. And who killed the bi-partisan border bill to benefit him in the election?
  7. Totally believable: corrupt money moves up the chain in Thailand, so the ones at the top rake in the most. They went after this guy, but I will bet my last baht that the rest of the DSI head honchos are just as corrupt. And I’m also guessing one of the reasons they went after this guy is that he probably didn’t share enough of his ill gotten gains with his cronies. People tend to get miffed when they see that one guy is keeping too much for himself.
  8. Have no idea what you’re on about, but maybe you should lay off the heavy stuff.
  9. He doesn’t. Historians rate Trump the worst president the US has ever had: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/historians-rank-donald-trump-worst-171335231.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACiajGCk1IsA9fYT6o7yEa258S8ESlZznTqSDjnWtQgZWnp_zeXs6lYmhE8vBL3RepcrmcQThgqiITIgh2nIY-o6k2AVp4PtiaFJabJFbQp6Giv48F1Zq4FDT1Fxodi3MWBvoB17aMv9yun7AwMbASfZiW02d78_58cjh1wdfuQT
  10. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Hope the souls of all the people he helped kill will torture him until hell freezes over. Pity that the next POS is already chomping at the bit to take his place and continue with the mindless terrorism.
  11. See, there you go again, defending your idol because someone said something mean about him. Clear case of TWS.
  12. Whenever someone says something mean about their cult leader, either real or perceived, the only thing MAGA folk can do is scream ‘TDS!!’ at the top of their lungs. It just shows they suffer from Trump Worship Syndrome, and a complete disregard for facts and reality. By the way, what’s with all the ‘dude’ and ‘bro’ and ‘my friend’ in so many of your posts?
  13. So now Trump made a joke? As far as I can tell, Trump has no sense of humor whatsoever, so I doubt that very much. In Trump’s world, EVERYTHING is about Trump. And he takes everything that is about himself deadly serious. He likes to dish it out and act tough, but he can’t take one on the chin himself, he is so thin skinned that all he does is whine. And now he’s desperately trying to find a way to get out of those debates, because he knows he will be destroyed.
  14. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks. From what little I have seen of Trump’s speeches as of late - I try to avoid that as much as possible, since it makes me gag - I see a very confused and often sweaty man on a stage uttering completely incoherent gibberish most of the time, sometimes not even recognizable as English words. That man is either clearly a few cards short of a full deck, or under the influence of some powerful drugs. Or possibly both.
  15. It’s mentioned on the net many times…… Words fail me. It’s also mentioned on the net many times that the earth is flat. That the moon landings were a hoax. That Bigfoot is real. That the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. All fairytales.
  16. And this sorry excuse for a man is the great hope of Christian nationalists, evangicals and other extreme right wing nutters. Lord help us all if he becomes president again.
  17. I’m not saying the RTP should not probe wealthy foreigners for money laundering, because I’m sure there are plenty of dodgy foreigners here doing all kinds of illegal things. Usually with the help of Thai officials, who get paid very handsomely for their ‘services’, by the way. The corruption in Thailand itself is so much bigger, though, and a much bigger problem. Maybe the RTP should concentrate more of their efforts on that? But of course it’s easier to go after those nasty foreigners who are taking advantage of the kindness and hospitality of Thai people. And going after corrupt officials in Thailand itself would mean the RTP would have to go after many of its own. Can’t have that, can we?
  18. Of course, heaven forbid you should read something that doesn’t fit your narrative. Here are just a few examples: https://www.rferl.org/a/enemies-kremlin-deaths-prigozhin-list/32562583.html https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/27/russian-human-rights-campaigner-oleg-orlov-sentenced-to-jail-for-denouncing-war https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/03/russia-journalist-sentenced-to-seven-years-for-speaking-out-against-war/ But all Western media are just lying and spreading propaganda, right?
  19. Maybe you should answer my question first. I think you have things backwards, though. I have absolutely no desire for Putin to be my enemy, I would like to live in peace. But Putin obviously doesn’t, he invaded Ukraine and shows all kinds of aggression towards the West, threatening nuclear war about every other week. Should we just take that lying down?
  20. Not opinion. Fact. Despite what you would have us believe, Western media tend to report quite accurately and truthfully about real things that happen in the real world. Not about made up stuff (propaganda) in some alternative reality, like RT and their subsidiaries do.
  21. I think you’re confused on who’s the weird one here….
  22. Navalny died of natural causes, no doubt. And he wasn’t sentenced to 17 years in prison camp on trumped up charges at all, was he? As I’m also sure that, as a prisoner, he was treated decently. Note: sarcasm alert. The only thing Navalny ever did was exposing the corruption of the Russian kleptocracy, including Putin and his clique. And he tried to run for office, against Putin. Even in captivity in a remote Siberian prison camp, and in poor health, he was still deemed a risk by the Russian regime, so he was killed. No two ways about it.
