Yes. Absolutely. Trump is a pathological liar, and anyone who does not believe that is self deluded or is simply not well versed in recent American history. He would say or do anything to achieve an end and his complete lack of ethics, coupled with his total moral bankruptcy allows him to do so without inhibition.

The name of this article should be "Trump fails once again to deliver on one of his primary campaign promises". Don is really tearing things up and solving very little.

This is the behavior of a half man. An undeveloped mind, a lost soul. Absolutely nothing there. He seems to have never been taught any values, and possesses no sense of ethics, like a wild forest animal. Where were his parents when he was growing up, and why did they fail so miserably? As a man, I can accept blame, apologize for an offense caused and take responsibility for my actions. No big deal. I care not one iota if I "lose face". Means less than zero to me what others think of me. Some will say it is a cultural difference. True. But, what about the deeper aspects of self esteem and having enough of it to be able to act like a man? A real man accepts responsibility for problems he has caused. When that is being constantly deflected due to a pathological fear of looking bad in the eyes of others, that creates enormous problems for society. I despise the practice of face, and think it is the single greatest weakness of many Thai people.

I think you're reading way too much into it, there's no question that the entire thing was staged, Zelensky was set up, Vance was told to act like a pit bull, instead he embarrassed himself in front of the entire planet and made himself look like an utter and completely ignorant fool, puffing his chest and trying to do a Tarzan look alike, which failed miserably. You can't make a emasculated wimp look like Tarzan, it's impossible, it just can't happen. He is a nobody, play acting the role of VP, and doing it very poorly. Dan Quayle was the last VP I can recall who was as embarrassing, and as incompetent.

Well a few things come to mind. Number one Trump is as far from a diplomat as any president has ever been, number two he has appointed nothing but low quality officials from the absolute bottom of the barrel with no diplomatic skills whatsoever, rather they are very skillful at insulting and bullying our allies and coddling up to our enemies, and number three we know that everything that comes out of Trump's mouth is a lie and is completely insincere. So when he said he would resolve the Ukraine issue many of us knew that was an outright lie, a political talking point that his followers believed along with a huge basket of other nonsense, such as lowering prices and bringing manufacturing back to America. Lies and more lies, just like everything else that comes out of his foul mouth.

Wow. Talk about missing the plot.

A 2 m long bamboo staff can be very effective at warding them off or punishing them if necessary, and though awkward, a can of insect spray can work wonders, all animals are petrified of the stuff.

He is nothing if not consistent with his dogma and partisan hatred.

Perhaps the community should take it upon themselves to do a good deed for society at large. Take the beast out.

Judging by his overall disapproval numbers on the economy there are likely a lot of Republican voters who are feeling a sense of regret and a great deal of betrayal. In addition they're probably feeling quite a bit of confusion as they're realizing that the man that they thought they voted for is not even close to being the man he truly is. Many of us have known for decades that the man is just a pure huckster, and everything about him is an act but some people really need to be convinced. With many people, once they got attached to a theory, it was hard to get them detached. They’d screen out unhelpful facts, invent favorable ones, and ignore contradictions in their own claims. Look at those Sandy Hook, multiple fraud convictions, and Jan. 6th truthers, babbling about false flags and crisis actors and all the rest. When people were motivated enough to believe something, they were going to believe it no matter what. There was no such thing as a bridge too far.

Well, those kind of stats are likely something that UNFPA's (ultra nationalist fake patriot Americans) are not going to want to hear, as they have to show fealty to their master by showing a dislike of Canada, despite the fact that Canada has been a loyal and faithful friend and ally to the US for at least a century now.

Clooney was one of the few that was bold enough to say what needed to be said, at a time that it needed to be said. 2 years prior somebody should have been bold enough to have slapped Biden around and made him aware that he was not fit for another run, and a high quality candidate and needed to be vetted. Trump tapped into the popular sentiment, people don't want to be told how to think, how to talk and how to behave, and that in and of itself is something that the Democrats have to learn. Yet to date I've seen no indication that they've expressed any sincere interest in reform. With Trump's utterly insane policies and the likelihood of him failing miserable with his economics, the presidency in 2028 is going to be fairly easy for the Democrats if they pick a high quality candidate like Beshears or Shapiro.

Any dog who bites any human being in a serious manner should be put down within 24 hours no questions asked and no appeals possible. Dogs should never be given priority over humans and doing so is a sign of a broken society. Not only that but the owner should face a massive fine. There's just no excuse to have a poorly behaved dog who's aggressive toward others, especially defenseless children.

This might be just another indication of Putin's endless thirst for power and territory, and the American goon is making this entire project far easier for him, which is one of the reasons why Trump is perhaps the most dangerous and irresponsible man in the world at this moment.

I think in general the UK and the US have both lost the plot and have both been declining gradually for at least the last 30 to 40 years. Right now the US is declining even faster with a Goomba attempting some and completely idiotic changes and running around with a preconceived notion of a false sense of relevance, and importance to the world at large.

I could not possibly disagree more adamantly. I left Samui 10 years ago and it was at that time a pale shadow of what it was 10 years prior to that. Now I don't even recognize the place, it has lost its soul in the same way that Manhattan has lost its soul, it's just a high-end, over congested, over priced corporate island at this point, mobbed by obnoxious Russians.

The only thing that's more corrupt and perhaps even more morally bankrupt that a politician is the offspring of a politician. They grow up with this incredible sense of entitlement, and a grossly overblown sense of self and they somehow feel like they are above any and all laws. Most are truly obnoxious human beings, and the very definition of an empty suit. Of course the same applies to 99% of politicians worldwide.

Perhaps there should be some kind of qualification process to get an entry permit into Pattaya, perhaps people need to start proving that they're decent human beings, that they don't have a criminal record, and that they are not going to cause mischief and mayhem once they arrive.

That is certainly what his supporters hope, who are definitely not taking into account a dozen different facts and angles, that alter this equation.

You just can't handle the facts? So you have to resort to Trump style name calling? Very juvy. Do some research. It will surprise you. Trump is NOT in a strong position with China.

Thankfully no, and my guess is that any woman who was exposed to that, in addition to the sulfuric smell, would require hundreds if not thousands of hours of therapy.

A true meal for champions and stable genius minds.

Trump thanks you and your $15,000 PR check is on the way. Maybe. He does have a bad habit of not paying his people.

They would be discussing the infamous mushroom for years to come. Have you even seen anything like that? Very alien.

But why even spend all this money on this costly research when you can just eat a Trump-style McDonald's diet and remain healthy your entire life?
