“Promises Wealth and Security” That promise will be aimed at his millionaire/billionaire buddies, and especially at himself, of course. The rest of the world, including his MAGA voters, he doesn’t give a rat’s @ss about and he couldn’t care less what happens to them.

Jeez dude, bury your nose a little deeper, why don’t you…

Stopping your husband from threatening everyone and their uncle on his ‘Truth Social’ on a daily basis would improve online safety a lot, Melania.

Speak for yourself. You have no idea what I do or what my life is like. For all I know, you’re an obese 56-year-old guy who lives in his mother’s basement in Dunceville, Alabama, and never leaves the house. You certainly seem to have a lot of time on your hands, judging by your endless stream of (mostly nasty) posts on this forum.

Town halls are still being held, but Republican representatives have been told by Mike Johnson not to attend anymore, because they keep getting booed at. Poor thing. JD Vance fled with his tail between his legs last weekend to get away from a few hundred peaceful protesters and hid in ‘an undisclosed location’. Wonder what he would have done if a violent mob stormed the capitol chanting ‘hang JD Vance, hang JD Vance’.

In your dreams…

That’s not counting the over $4 trillion they’re giving away in tax cuts to millionaires, billionaires and already very rich and large companies, is it? Screwing every single American out of more than $13,000. Yeah, right, fixing the country.

No.

Johnson also ordered GOP representatives to no longer attend town hall meetings, because they are getting booed. Aww, poor GOP representatives, can’t take a little heat and explain to dissatisfied Trump voters why their great leader is screwing up the country. Cowards, the lot of them.

PS: President Zelensky has more statesmanship, honor and courage in the tip of his little pinky finger than Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, JD Vance and the whole GOP combined.

I would suggest that bible thumper Johnson shut the **** up, grow a pair, remove his nose from Trump’s ample posterior and leave world politics to the grownups.

Aside from the question if trans troops make good ‘soldiers’: an army needs much more than just the gung-ho warrior type of men. They need good administrators, engineers, cooks, IT-people, maintenance people, and so on and so forth. A good army can not function properly without a good backbone like this. So why wouldn’t trans troops be qualified to fulfill these kinds of jobs in the army?

Apparently Trump can waste as much (taxpayers) money as he likes. Kristi Noem, the head of Homeland Security, says that Trump instructed her to make ads that ‘thank him for closing the border’. To the tune of a mere $200 million. Money well spent, I’m sure… https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-kristi-noem-200-million-dhs-ad-campaign-thanks-president-1235276324/

So you think your ‘facts’ are actual facts? That’s hilarious.

I think you have ‘lefties’ confused with your Dear Leader: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/22/politics/fact-check-trump-cpac-2025-election/index.html https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/our-research/all-presidents-lies-media-coverage-lies-us-and-france https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/

Do you mean that Musk has been officially appointed? Do you have any proof for that?

That old chestnut again. Yawn…..

How about an investigation into why Musk gets €8 million dollars a day in taxpayer’s money? Or do you not see any conflicts of interest there? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-gets-8-million-033041658.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAANTRQgi8iEh3sp79m6RtXofcjKqaJ8PwQN5YTPfXBolgPqQZSYDm0fHnlunTxmLqCWinNO1A20Onz4GjU_U29guyzsp6cnWJagBUe80wULTfyCdYDaiuuwEvrT8uscw5-bByazQA3wLXAQHD-hsXNYuwqWAOeX2Oz8IzU2cHYKn

Elon Musk is not their employer. He has not been appointed to any official position in the government, so he has no authority whatsoever. Maybe he should spend a little more time focusing on his own businesses (like X and Tesla) which do not seem to be performing very well as of late.

Tak Bai was just a tiny fraction of the number of deaths that happened on Thaksin’s watch. “In February 2003, the Thai government, under then Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, launched a 'war on drugs', purportedly aimed at the suppression of drug trafficking and the prevention of drug use. In fact, a major outcome of this policy was arbitrary killings. In the first three months of the campaign there were some 2800 extrajudicial killings. In 2007, an official investigation found that more than half of those killed had no connection whatsoever to drugs. Apart from the thousands who lost their lives, thousands more were forced into coercive "treatment" for drug addiction.” How about an apology for all those deaths? https://www.hrw.org/news/2008/03/12/thailands-war-drugs

Please go bother someone else.

There are several websites that report the air quality of places all over the world, including Koh Chang.

I was originally planning to move to Koh Chang (Thailand) when I retire at the end of this year, but after monitoring the air quality there for the last few months (which was mostly not good) I’ve been having second thoughts. So now I’m exploring other options, one of which is Nha Trang. The air quality, for starters, seems to be a lot better there than in most of Thailand. Now I would like to know a few things about living in Nha Trang. * What kind of visa would I need? I am Dutch, by the way. * What’s the cost of living? I’m single, not much of a drinker or party-goer or anything like that. A one or two bedroom apartment would be quite okay for me, doesn’t have to be centrally located. * Is there a good hospital in Nha Trang? * Is health insurance compulsive? Or recommended? * Are there any good supermarkets in Nha Trang that sell western food, like peanut butter, pasta, stuff like that? I’m just trying to gather as much information as possible, so anything you can offer will be very welcome. Thanks!

Can you imagine the reactions if von der Leyen did a similar speech in the USA and chewed Trump and his MAGA lot out? The outrage, the indignation, the thousands of death threats? Just saying….
