I agree with Mr. Reffitt's daughters.... [Shortly after January 6th participant Guy Reffitt was sentenced to 87 months in prison for his role in the attack, his daughters reacted to his punishment by calling for former President Donald Trump to be jailed for the rest of his life.] https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-deserves-life-in-prison-daughters-of-sentenced-insurrection-participant/ar-AA10cle1?ocid=wispr&cvid=5260644fb964434f9f272f9ec9decb30

Trump Booed at Arizona Rally Over His New Endorsement
Berkshire replied to Scott's topic in World News
We can all see that you're a Trump-cult follower. So what's it like, being in a cult? Do you have to completely detach yourself from reality? How can you still function day-to-day? Just curious. -
Malaysia Detains Thais Who Tested Positive For Marijuana
Berkshire replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
While I understand that Malaysia can do whatever they want, I'm a bit surprised that there is a urine test upon entry. I can honestly say that I've never had to take a urine test upon entering any country on the planet. Ever. So yeah, a little strange that Malaysia is doing this. -
Biden is in a no-win situation. Not doing the trade would result in non-stop grief from the families. Doing the trade "could" result in open season for Americans overseas if brutal dictators think they can have a bargaining chip. Word is that Bout has already done most of his time. So if he's released early....not a huge deal.

I get your point, but you may be a bit off. The US military as an institution is certainly different from US society at large. It's not a democracy, but it's certainly not a socialist society. It's an all-volunteer force, so anyone can leave at anytime (assuming they've completed what they've signed-up for). Officers run the military and they are not elected, rather selected. Everyone follows orders. But there are some socialist aspects in that most needs are provided for, e.g., housing, food, where to shop, recreation, child's education, medical/dental, etc. The US military can't necessarily be blamed for what it does overseas because that's the decision made by civilian leaders. The orders come from the President, SECDEF, NSA, etc. The US military can't just invade another country on its own. There have been military atrocities, to be sure, but that's more individual. And the military can't defy orders. If the POTUS says invade Russia, that's what they must do. Hope this makes sense.

5555....you just outed yourself yet again. Calling Joe Biden "an incompetent old man unfit to be President" is a standard right wing talking point that has been used ad nauseam. We all know that President Biden is old, perhaps past his prime. But even if he is half the man he was, he's still infinitely a better President than Trump will ever be at any age.

Trump Booed at Arizona Rally Over His New Endorsement

No, the goalpost has not shifted. It's "all of the above." -
Donald Trump was President when the 2020 election took place. His own administration has confirmed that there was no massive fraud that could have changed the outcome. To date, no evidence has surfaced of such a fraud anywhere in the USA, even after multiple recounts, investigations, audits, court cases, etc. For anyone to still believe that massive fraud took place, you'd have to be off-the-charts delusional. Would that be you?

The question is pretty loaded. When they say "government," who are they referring to? The military? DOJ? USAID? Police? Fireman? Postal workers? IRS? VA doctors? FDA? It's pretty vast. I'd say that I largely trust career government employees. But these politicians in Congress and at the state level? If they're Republican, probably not trust-worthy. Republicans these days seem to have great difficulty just telling the truth.

Trump Booed at Arizona Rally Over His New Endorsement
Berkshire replied to Scott's topic in World News
The J6 hearings have painstakingly detailed all that happened and has virtually spelled-out Trump's culpability. If you don't agree.....well it's certainly your right. There's no guarantee that Trump will be indicted for this, or in Georgia. But I put the odds of either one or both happening at about 90%. -
It'll be hard for Trump to weasel out of this one. The next LIV tournament is being held at his golf course....which is pretty close to where 9/11 happened. He's going to be getting some negative press....as if he needed any more. [Dozens of family members and survivors of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack will head to former President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club next week to protest the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf event there.] https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/24/trump-9-11-liv-golf-protest-00047655

Just one question OP: How do these things that you mention impact your ability to live your own life?

Berkshire replied to Scott's topic in World News
This is such an asinine comment on so many levels. The media isn't obsessed with Trump. It's Trump's obsession with being in the limelight. I for one would have loved it if Trump had just accepted his defeat and disappeared from public view. But he's refused to do that. As for his criminal behavior, he absolutely needs to be held to account. If his 800+ insurrectionists are being prosecuted, he sure as heck should be as well.- 539 replies

In a way, this may be a good thing. Get his deplorables out in the open. If they're willing to go to jail (or die trying) for their cult leader, let them. A good purging of right wing nutters is what America needs.

I think I might be addicted to women.
Berkshire replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I can relate. The problem is Thailand has so many hotties running around that it's hard to get them out of your head. Especially now, a female with a hot body and wearing a mask....well, it makes them all look hot. Maybe things will calm down when the COVID thing is over and said females are no longer wearing masks. Either that or visit the USA and go to a Walmart. Looking at the females there will scare you straight....555
