Trump promises to end double taxation, let the moaning commence 

 

 

Trump has promised many things to many people. However promises and deliveries are 2 separate things.

Trump is full of the first, and sadly lacking on the second.

She's an actor

Wake the h3ll up people!

I am not quite sure what she is.

Her nationality is Swedish but she appears not to have a job in Sweden or any other country that I can think of.  

As a member state of the European Union, Swedish citizens enjoy freedom of movement within the European Economic Area (EEA). The Citizens' Rights Directive defines the right of free movement for citizens of the EEA.

So she would not need a visa nor a German ID card, and I am not sure that she would need a passport, as her Swedish ID card may be sufficient.
 

Now whether when visiting the EU, she would need to show proof of funds, proof of somewhere to stay, I honestly have no idea.

Could she be banned as an activist or a protestor?

IMHO she would first have to be arrested, taken to court and found guilty of a crime. That may be one way to keep her out of Germany, but I suspect that she would play the victims card.

To me she is no more than one of those annoying little buzzy flies that always seem to be around, but are just that little too quick to be swatted.

Legal age for a kid to ride a Motorbike in Thailand is 15  years of age  18 for a  car 

And from the OP, both students were 17 and legally old enough to ride a motorbike.

The Russian refused to speak to the media, therefore his age and name were noy known at the time of going to press.

What WAS the point of your post again?

I won't even elaborate other that to state the obvious: Most Westerners have been raised from birth to believe that Israel is God's Gift to the World.  And of course, God gave them the Eastern Mediterranean (not the British via the Belfour Agreement) and as such they have the God-given right to ethnically cleanse the entire region since 1948 and anyone who disagrees is a "terrorist." 

The only problem?  The local Arab and Persian population is tired of the ethnic cleansing.  Now if you are the typical Westerner, then all Arabs and Persians are dirty camel-riding ragheads who don't deserve to breath the same air as "God's Chosen People" sooooo, ya'll root root root to <cue the Beach Boys "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran"

The same goes for Westerner's sentiments about Russia, China, and all other countries which you have been raised to viscerally hate.  So?  Don't be surprised when the nukes fly.  In this Orwellian world of Newspeak, the oppressors are the oppressed, and the aggressors are the victims of aggression.  The world stage is better than a fictional screen-play nowadays, kinda like Doctor Strangelove, and just about as satirically funny.

And what god would that be? The invisible person who is in heaven and everywhere at the same time, that many people pray to with no reply or response?

Or a fairy tale written by many people thousands of years ago.

She like her supporters are low IQ lemmings. 

But of a far higher IQ than Trump and his MAGA supporters. Would that include you?

You have to wonder just how scrambled Kamala's brains are to come up with such unintelligent, incoherent sentences. This is not just a speech impediment, it is the inability to think and speak rationally. She certainly does not have the mental capacity to assume the role of President of the United States.

YOU might have to wonder.

Normal people don't.

From the way the car is parked it very much looks like the Russian was taking the Racing line!!

If that is the same piece of road (I have no idea) then coming from the direction that the Russian was coming from, it is a blind bend with a solid yellow (do not cross) line.

But what is she going to do for people.   Can you honestly with a straight face  tell me putin xi and Iran are going to take anything she says seriously 

And what did Trump achieve in 4 years.

From what I can see and have read, for Iran he cleared a new path for them to make nuclear weapons.

As for China, he put tariffs on Chinese imports which costs China nothing as the US importers pay the tariff and pass the bill straight on to the US customer.

Such a brilliant plan.

The Russian will probably pay nothing if he is able to prove that the Thai motorbike rider was moving on his (the Russian's) side of the road. 

And the fact that the Russian's vehicle had NO registration plates and was illegal to drive on the roads means nothing to you

Blame the victims without knowing the facts.

Those red and blue lights seem pretty far down the road, the Maserati must have rolled for quite a bit before stopping.

Rolling would be a  bit tricky, I think as it only seems to have 3 wheels instead of 4.

I feel sorry for these kids and their families, RIP.

 

These kids were 17, so definitely had no license. I see this daily around schools where hundreds of kids, 2-3 per motorbike, usually no helmet, all to young to have a license, arrive and park at their school. The school don't care, parents don't care and the police don't care ????

But the Russian had NO plates on his vehicle. IMHO no plates, not even red plates, Probably means that the owner either 1) didn't have the car taxed and registered in the first place which means that it wasn't insured, or 2) took the plates off to show what a big important person he thought he is. Either way I very much doubt that the insurance company will pay out anything.

Looking at the photo, the car has n/s/f damage, whilst carefully omitting any reference to the Russian driver and it is on a bend. Either it is a bad photo or it is dark, but I can see no sign of skid marks indicating the driver was braking hard.

This is an older video,i believe they are now using a bigger engine.

You can ask them,they do speak English and respond soon.

Thank you for the second video.

My biggest problem is that I am now 80 and humping that around without some form of transport will not be easy. My wife is 60 this month and I think it would be harder for her.

However as we will need a crew to hack (prune) the trees down  from some 15 to 20 metres to about 6 to 8 metres, they can do the hard work.

It is the other way around Ahmed.  It is Hamas who invaded a party Oct. 7, slaughtered unarmed civilians including babies, raped young girls and paraded them around Gaza nude, etc., always hide in schools, hospitals, etc., wear civilian clothes, still have not released the hostages nor given themselves up.  Hamas and Hez are using their own people as shields. Their written doctrine is to destroy Israel. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Until YOU can get mu name correct, please do not bother to respond to any of my posts.

It merely confirms your ignorance.

There is a pretty good Thai made chopper for around 25000 baht with an ICE.

Thinking about buying that one.

It would be nice to have seen it in action on the video though.
