  1. So of course Weiss who actually is in charge of the investigation basically says that there were zero attempts to limit him from charging and on and one...but what would he know as he is only the trump appointed AG who biden could have removed when he took office but said NO...he stays in place and had complete authority to carry on the investigation into bidens son and charge any crimes he finds.. .so if donnie jr were being investigated by an obama appointed AG what are the odds that trump would have just said keep on with your investigation and not replace him with a lackey? ZERO Shame that doesn't fit into all the right wing conspiracy theories https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/us/weiss-hunter-biden-letter.html
  2. 30 k in loans is way way less than lots of students have...UNC and many other state universities are a bargain compared to many private schools. Frankly not sure i have all that much sympathy for people who want to go to duke or private schools that are way way more expensive and rack up the debt. Of course going to Duke or Harvard or Stanford is more "impressive" and while they are good schools there is no real reason you cannot get a very high quality education at a state school and save going in debt head over heels because you just have to go to a private school. Lots of people would like to drive a rolls royce (but can't afford it) but end up driving a ford and it still gets you where you wanted to go.
  3. I would like to see biden throw kamala under the bus as VP and name a YOUNG running mate like newsome as VP....although i think biden will beat trump regardless if that is the choice I would bet that a stronger VP choice would guarantee it...kamala just has not shown much in the way of being ready to become vp if biden were to croak....but no way biden will do it....and of course kamala could announce she does not want it but chances of that are slim to none... Just a shame that out of 300++ million people that we are stuck with two old men with all the baggage to be POTUS....not to mention a supreme court also with old corrupt men as well as lots of corrupt, old, or bat shxt crazy congresspersons. I was just watching some Obama and bill clinton videos and reminded how nice it was to have an articulate very bright YOUNG guy as potus..
  4. I think maybe a program where u go to school and IF you work for xx years as a teacher or nurse or cop etc that xx percent gets forgiven for every year you work....USA is desperate for more teachers who make peanuts already...surely there are other critical occupations where a good carrot might encourage more to go into these jobs? Seems way too many go head over heels in debt majoring in philosophy or similar things where jobs are few and far between so good luck ever getting out of debt if that is your choice.
  5. Priority number one as you know is your son. He never asked for this and to have a mom terrorizing him with outbursts and breaking toys etc is a very good sign that without you and your support around she may take out her anger on the kid. I do not know the procedure but you already know you need to discuss it with the police or an attorney or some very reliable Thai people and get their advice as to how to proceed. Do it soon.
  6. Just imagine the size of envelopes handed out to the MANY top judicial and political big wigs to buy off everyone and allow mr red bull to get off free for killing a cop while hypped up speeding on coke then fleeing the country ..i bet there are a few enjoying a nice villa in the south of france or a big flat in London not to mention new condos in bangkok or phuket. This case is a textbook study of how the rich are able to get away with anything with no consequences and the people that aid them are also never brought to account.
  7. Lyndsey and Donnie should share a cell....donnie could grab him by the pxxxy and Lyndsey would like it. Throw tucky carlson in for a threesome.
  8. My "favorite" is people who pay big bucks for a pair of jeans that has had bunch of holes made on purpose...i just never understood the fashion but obviously a ton of people seem to think it makes them look cool or ?.....I can just imagine what my grandmother would have thought of purposely cutting big holes in your pants to parade about....she spent a ton of time sewing up holes in my jeans when i was a boy out and about doing dumb reckless stuff.
  9. The local tour companies would have a variety of sightseeing or excursions to gardens, temples, zip lines, golf, seafood lunches, as well as likely arrange daytime shows at places like Tiffany....shopping in Singapore is WAY WAY more expensive than in Pattaya and most cruise passengers are looking for a lot of tee shirts and local types souveniors more than some expensive designer products like Singapore offers. Having been on over 75 cruises i too am pretty familiar with what takes place.
  10. The topic is the idea of building a simple jetty cruise dock to handle two ships in Pattaya. Based on my first hand experience in visits to hundreds of cruise ports I am saying that a Pattaya cruise port at bali high would be a big $$ maker for local pattaya biz....unlike laem chabang visitors could walk to shopping or take baht buses or do optional shore excursions to local attractions and they would spend a ton of $$ in pattaya. Laem Chabang is likely beyond fixing as it is too far for passengers to even walk to the gate to escape the taxi mafia that rules with an iron fist. Just because Laem Chabang is a mess does not mean that Pattaya would have be the same. Laem chabang literally is able to hold the passengers captive and extort them to get transport out. And of course even if you walked the 2 miles to the gate and got out there is nothing worth seeing in Laem Chabang area. I suspect pattaya would get pretty decent ratings from the passengers as they most likely would be there from about 8 am to 8 pm and not necessarily see much of the raunchy nightlife...
  11. A cruise port for pattaya would be a very good investment...many cruise ships are now 3000 to 5000 passengers plus crew who usually are in a port for about 12 hours. The passengers do every local tour in the book as well as a lot of shopping. The crew also spends quite a bit on shopping. For Pattaya local businesses it would be a massive boom of baht every time a ship docks. Currently several ships do stops in ko samui and phuket. But in ko samui tender boats are required as no proper port...in phuket the port is an industrial port in a bad location though some smaller ones do get in better locations but again have to tender guests ashore which is not ideal. The problem now and for years and years is that laem chabang the only real major port in Thailand is one of the worst mafia controlled ports i have seen in over 75 cruises i have done. It is ahuge ugly industrial port and too far to walk to the highway for most people. There is a HORRIBLE taxi mafia there charging $350 ++ to go to bangkok or $200 to pattaya and openly advertises the price on big signs. They control the port and no other taxis are permitted to enter the port to pick up or even to drop off under threats of violence. Many passengers get frustrated and end up just staying on the ship and spend zero. Corruption at it's best and obviously Mr Big there is well connected and rakes in thousands upon thousands from every ship that stops there..... and it is all done in open view so govt officials seem for sure in on the rip offs. Customers give it negative remarks which results in few cruise ships wanting to make port calls there.
  12. ask them to use a vape rather than smoke flower?
  13. The airport holds a "special" place for me as i was standing in the boarding line the day the plane exploded. Taksin was booked on the flight...his motorcade ran into big traffic and was late so thankfully they were not gonna let us board til he got on first.....if he had been on time we would have all been toast. If u ever wondered how strong the glass is in DM i can tell you the force of the explosion hit the windows with a massive ball of fire and the windows did not break. Since taksin was a passenger everyone immediately said it was a bomb but later after much investigation it was not a bomb at all. It was very lucky that more people weren't killed...the plane broke in half and burned to a crisp right at the gate. http://www.b737.org.uk/thai737news.htm
  14. Wine and cheese...both way overpriced in LOS.
  15. Pretty well sums up what happens when coups roll the tanks or storm the capital and go after their political enemies as a pretense to overturn the will of the voters. Sadly many seem to think it will be temporary but it rarely turns out that way.
  16. Really plays well with all his evangelicals and as a role model for America's youth.
  17. Trying to point out hard FACTS to trumpers is a waste of time. He can do no wrong and everything he has done is absolutely perfect...like obstruction of justice, sexual assaults, the Big Lie, attempted coup, inciting violence, tax fraud, making fun of POW's, hiring and then firing the absolute best and brightest, mocking handicapped people, grabbing em by the pxxxxy, grifting fund raising after promising that he is very very very rich and needs nobody's $, throwing any and all who cross him under the bus, describing his own daughter as a piece of ass and on and on and on. He is a frightening mentally unbalanced dictator wannabe and anyone who has yet to see that is beyond convincing.
  18. article dated june 28 and says deadline is june 3? u mean june3 2024 or June 3 25 days ago?? if 25 days ago how about a how's it going article?
  19. Pointing out the obvious to people who obsess over hunter while not least concerned over the elephant in the room.
  20. And trumps DOJ also "slow walked" it for four years while trump ruled as it was lot more fun to scream lock em up and raise funds and wallow in conspiracy theories and rumours then to present hard evidence to get a grand jury to vote to indict. The tax charge was brought by the republican trump appointed Delaware AG who unlike his predecessors Biden left in place to allow him to complete his investigation of his son . Try and imagine trump leaving in place an Obama appointed AG who was investigating one of trumps kids? No way.
  21. never one time have i personally observed a pot smoker go "berserk" and i have been around a lot of pot smokers...is it possible? sure. is it probable? I would say no. Have I seen people go "berserk" without their caffeine fixes? Not sure about berserk but sure in a very agitated state. By far the worst of the worst most addictive drugs i have been around was/is nicotine....that is one evil drug that has hooked and ultimately screwed up or killed millions upon millions of people for centuries. Fortunately it seems to be fading somewhat thanks to a ton of educational attempts to keep the kids away along with restrictions on use, high prices, and a slow change in public opinion. But of course several big corps now are getting kids hooked on nicotine vapes by making candy flavors and trying to make it a "cool" thing to do. Getting hooked on nicotine is many things but as most addicted people know it is not a lot of fun and can be pure hell to break the habit.
  22. That will teach him to pay up on time every month.
  23. News Flash: A man doing meth and drinking a cup of coffee goes berserk. Police lay blame on the caffeine in the coffee as man was in an agitated state.
