  1. I didn't get a statement this year
  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_me_the_man_and_I_will_give_you_the_case_against_him "Give me the man and I will give you the case against him"[1] (Polish: Dajcie mi człowieka, a paragraf się znajdzie; translated to English more literally as "give me the man; there'll be a paragraph[a] for him",[2] Russian: Был бы человек, а статья найдется ("If there is a person, there will be an article [in the criminal code]"), also interpreted as "give me the man, and I will find the crime",[3] or "show me the man and I'll show you the crime"[4]) is a saying that was popularized in the Soviet Union and in Poland in the period of the People's Republic of Poland, attributed to the Stalinist-era Soviet jurist Andrey Vyshinsky,[2][5]: 200 [6] or the Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria.[3][4] It refers to the miscarriage of justice in the form of the abuse of power by the jurists, who can find the defendant guilty of "something" if they so desire.[5][6][7]: 179 [8]: 85 
  3. It depends on the bank. KBank shows as a local bank transfer. Bangkok bank shows as an international transfer, both in the bank book and the statement.
  4. If you are going to have a truth meter at the bottom of the screen why not add a BS detector as well, though it may be broken after Trump's first response. Perhaps 50 may be needed to replace the broken ones.
  5. They look very tasty.
  6. Has anybody got their email address as I would like to contact them about transferring my reduced pension to my wife when I die.
  7. IIRC there were several. BMW/Isetta and Heinkel. They were known as bubble cars. There was also a Messerschmitt KR 200 but that was a 2 seater inline
  8. IMHO there are only 2 sexes. Male or female. The basic difference is that males cannot conceive or carry a baby. Their internal reproductive organs don't allow it. It is the same for women. They cannot conceive a baby on their own. Women can carry and give birth to a baby, but men cannot. If a person wishes to identify as something else, that is something completely different. IMO if a person was born as a male, identifies themselves as a woman but cannot carry a baby, that person is still male, likewise for a woman.
  9. You don't like the truth? Sorry about that, but if you don't believe what I have written, I feel sad for you.
  10. And Trump is as pure, innocent and virtuous as the slush at the end of a day in winter on a New York street. Complete as a convicted sex offender, convicted felon and a serial liar, yet you, other people and the gop conveniently ignore these facts and believe that he is the best person to be in the White House. There are none so blind, as those that refuse to face facts and ignore reality.
  11. More barrel scraping?
  12. Have the gop managed to scrape the bottom of the barrel yet?
  13. Just because they are facts, doesn't mean that Thaipo7 has to believe them. In the MAGA world, the real world facts simply mean more lies, and therefore cannot be accepted or believed.
  14. And MAGA is not a cult in the USA?
  15. No. But you did not bother to explain your comment. How would you like to answer the question I asked, instead of wandering away from it.
  16. Are you disputing that her mother was not from India? That her father was not from Jamaica? Or that she was not born in Oakland, California in the USA on 20 October 1964?
  17. Not quite discovered lately. Her Mother was from India and her father was from Jamaica. They both emigrated to the USA and Kamala Harris was born in the USA. Anyone could have found that out from a simple internet search, years ago.
  18. And you got that from that bastion of truth, Fox News? AFAIR remember, Fox News is not even a news channel, but an entertainment TV channel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News#:~:text=The decision only applies to,coverage and its talk shows. From the link. Fox News has been characterized by many as a propaganda organization.[24][25][26][27][28] Its coverage has included biased and false reporting in favor of the Republican Party, its politicians, and conservative causes,[29][30][31] while portraying the Democratic Party in a negative light.[32][33] Critics have argued that the channel is damaging to the integrity of news overall.[34][35] In 2009, Fox News denied bias in its news reporting. The channel's official position was that its reporting operates independently of its opinion journalism.[36][needs update] Media analyst Brian Stelter, who has written extensively about the network, observed in 2021 that in more recent years it had adjusted its programming to present "less news on the air and more opinions-about-the-news" throughout the day, on concerns it was losing viewers to more conservative competitors that were presenting such content.[37] After Dominion Voting Systems initiated a defamation lawsuit against Fox regarding their reporting on the 2020 presidential election, Fox's internal communications were released, showing that its presenters and senior executives privately doubted claims of a stolen election, while Fox continued to broadcast such claims.[38] Other communications showed Fox CEO Suzanne Scott stating that fact-checking such claims would alienate Fox viewers.[39] Fox settled the lawsuit in 2023 by agreeing to pay Dominion $787.5 million and acknowledging the court ruling that Fox had broadcast false statements about Dominion.[40][41] According to Pew Research Center, in 2019, 65 percent of Republicans and people who lean Republican trusted Fox News.[42]
  19. I was NEVER beaten by my Dad though I was smacked 2 or 3 times. I only smacked my son in the UK a couple of times. Here in Thailand I have NEVER smacked my second son as I have never had the need to do so.
  20. It didn't matter in the first place, but now she is the official nominee, will Trump debate with her or will he find another lame excuse not to do so?
  21. Well according to the BBC News website 12 hours ago, Kamala Harris was officially formally chosen as the official Democrat nominee to become POTUS. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4ng1my55vno US Vice-President Kamala Harris has passed the threshold to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination in a vote of party delegates. Speaking by telephone, Ms Harris said she was "honoured to be the presumptive nominee" as the virtual roll call continues ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago later this month. Ms Harris is the first black woman and first South Asian woman to become the White House standard-bearer for a major US political party.
  22. Actually it was the fireman behind him who took the bullet for democracy, and sadly died as a result and NOT Trump. Does anyone remember the fireman's name?
  23. Our cat is an outside cat and the song reminds me of her (slightly modified) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIj1I8U6Gu4 You keep on yowling, but you can't come in, You keep on yowling, but you can't come in, You keep on yowling, but you can't come in, Come back tomorrow night and try it again.
  24. Promise me that you will go back to school and learn how to read and comprehend big words, and then come back and show me where I called him racist, A very poor try at twisting my words. As my form master used to write on my school report. You can do better and must try harder.
