  1. It is not a form of mental sickness. So many are climbing aboard the idea that disliking Trump and Trumpism is a manifestation of some entirely imagined mental disease. Not only, remarkably, a totally imagined mental disease, but one which they seem to be able to diagnose from reading a one sentence post on social media! Quite extraordinary.
  2. I really can't get upset - most of them won't have the beginning of a clue about the significance, and there will be another dance craze along in a couple of weeks. As for lack of knowledge of European History, how many of us know about comparable times in Thai history? Plaek Phibunsongkhram, the Franco Thai war, the influence of Japan, and the Martyrs of Thailand?
  3. Thank you - always good to know one is appreciated!
  4. I don't suppose it was much fun for the Israeli entrants, being greeted with throat splitting gestures. Didn't that same gesture used be made to the occupants of the cattle trucks as they rolled through Germany in the 1940s? Still just a bit of fun eh? I agree that the Israeli entry won't make it, not because of any talent or it's absence, but because of the threat of disruption. Also of course, it appears that the contest is sponsored by "Morrocanoil" - that won't exactly help!
  5. I suppose that they have their own homegrown "bands" who dress up in tinfoil suits and prance about shouting! I predict that, as is now standard, it will be won by a bearded lady in a tutu!
  6. I would perhaps like to know which letter in the LGBTQ alphabet soup is applied to politicians who dress up as cats and make mewing sounds on celebrity reality TV programmes? In the interests on where Galloway stands you understand!
  7. Golly, you got Hunter Bidens laptop in within 3 posts! Cooking on gas today aren't you!
  8. Does the shop have big windows, so they can see you coming a long way off?
  9. A full and unimpeded police investigation will be impossible to conduct. There is no way that forensic or witness evidence will exist in Afghanistan, and the police couldn't operate there anyway. It will boil down to allegations. I emphatically don't defend such acts, but I simply don't think that they can be proved.

  11. I suppose the basic question to be posed is: are the pro Palestinian demonstrations and antics a reaction to the whole Maga/Miller/ white supremacist construct, bearing in mind that it is certainly perceived by many ( not exclusively coloured people) as a racist programme, or is MAGA etc a reaction to Palestinian activism? Personally (and I am not American) I support the right of Israel to exist, abhor the savage intentions of HAMAS, who monopolise the arguments for the Palestinian cause, and am equally repulsed by the racism behind so many of the Trump administration's policies. The weakness, as I see it, is the whole " with us or you are the enemy" attitude.
  12. If worked into a good lather, in a mug, using a shaving brush, it does the same job at a fraction of the cost. I occasionally add a couple of drops of coconut oil (I use it for cooking).
  13. One doesn't need to Google AI to realise that what is going on, and what so many are enthusing about is quite simply racially driven. It is not exactly a new phenomenon in American society, but Trump/MAGA have opened the bottle and released the genie!
  14. "What is it about Trump that triggers you and causes you so much angst and unease" The cruelty and racism of many of his policies, and again, the vile cruelty, and total lack of concern for due process with which they are being implemented. The men in ski masks and cheap body armour, are effectively "the law", with no apparent oversight or control. I thought that America was better than that.
  15. Almost any soap, (Imperial Leather is my usual brand) and a 7/11 two or three blade disposable razor. Once the soap is worn down to about half size, into the mug. Key is a shaving brush to produce and apply a lather. They are readily available on Lazada. Oh yes, and warm water. I wouldn't say it was a hobby (!) but I shave most days. Razor lasts a week.
  16. Didn't a chap called Himmler work up a plan for that back in the 1940s?
  17. I rather assumed that he stoked up on that before his every press conference and interview!
  18. A collection of charlatans, or a charismatic spiritual experience?
  19. Is this the really big announcement he trained last week?
  20. The remaining Jews in Europe wanted to move out of Europe after the 2nd World War, because an awful lot of Europe had been enthusiastically slaughtering them. The whole Israel thing was around in the near east 2500+ years ago. The whole Christian thing was around in the near east starting 2000 years ago - it came from the Jews. The whole Islam thing followed some 1700 years ago.
  21. So the company which makes a particular medicine is ordered to dramatically reduce its price. What if they say no? What if they all say no?
  22. I didn't say that you gobby little four letter word. And if that earns me any sanction, so be it, you have baited and twisted once too often!
