  1. I've seen a lot of Thailand, love traveling around this place, and I find that it's really enjoyable when you're traveling with a Thai partner, as the Thais tend to be quite friendly and helpful with each other. So you essentially become an insider by default.
  2. Historically presidents have been expected to show some grace, dignity and compassion, however Trump has thrown all that out the window. He is an absolute pig, and no level of decorum is expected of him anymore. This very ugly man possesses such hatred, such bitterness, and his upbringing was such a failure, he must have been subjected to so much abuse by his parents that he just doesn't behave like a civilized person. Everything that comes out of his mouth is ugly, nasty, critical, vindictive, hateful, vengeful or bitter. This man is one nasty piece of work and is the last man in the world that should be leading America right now. He needs to go, he needs to be shut down, however that can be accomplished it needs to be done.
  3. Bear in mind TACO is nothing else if not inconsistent, and his threats really don't mean anything anymore. Iran is likely waiting and ready for his next move. Trump plays 2D chess.
  4. Correct, you just simply supply the agent with a photo, and it can even be done digitally. Convenient does not even begin to describe the process.
  5. Many of us thought that in the past, but then again none of us have seen Trump 2.0 until now. The degree to which he has been reckless, thoughtless, careless, dangerous, and aggressive has been astonishing to most, and likely many of his supporters are quite surprised too, though most are still having a very hard time mustering up the requisite level of manhood, dissent and criticism in that regard. Maybe he was right, maybe he can get away with anything including some shooting someone point blank on 5th Avenue.
  6. Regime change is needed in America right now like never before, Trump must be ousted, they need to figure out a way to get rid of this grotesque clown once and for all.

  8. It's likely that the ICE agents are some of the least qualified law enforcement officials America has ever seen, so they're probably way under qualified to do this kind of work. Plus I'm not sure how comfortable they're going to be taking off their masks, and it's going to be a real burden for them to be told not to shoot passengers in major US airports. Lastly I'm not sure how passengers are going to feel being screened by domestic terrorists.
  9. They should establish more conditions for assistance with a Strait. Stop the bombing, the immediate resignation of Donald Trump, and Hegseth, and the closure of all US bases throughout the Middle East.
  10. We don't really know whether or not it's related to the conflict, chances are if it was they would lie about it, and many mistakes happen in the fog of war, such as the Kuwaitis shooting down four American fighter jets "by accident".
  11. There is a lot of ugliness that's being caused in relation to this war, Trump the warmonger is lowering the quality of life for virtually everybody around the world, but if there's one upside perhaps it's the lowering of the value of the Thai baht.
  12. They can't get their $3,000 Las Vegas fees here. And besides nobody would want to get with them anyway as they're typically pretty nasty looking. I've seen many African women on Sukumvit over the years, and I don't think I've ever seen one that was even remotely attractive. So why would any guy in his right mind choose that over a lovely Thai woman?
  13. Pattaya and Patong Beach seem to have have become the crime capitals of Thailand and perhaps they are best avoided at this point. That certainly applies to the tourist areas of both of those towns.
  14. Hopefully we change our perspective by living over here, I think that's part of the plan. If I wanted boring, predictable, listless, overpriced, and bitter I would have stayed in America.
  15. Trump pick the worst SEC DEF in American history, a man with absolutely no qualifications, a man who couldn't get hired to lead a county chapter of the Cub Scouts, and yet he somehow expected this war to go well. Hegseth is inept and a very poor cabinet secretary. Trump oftentimes will confuse a polished presentation with one of substance, and Hegseth embarrassed himself and his nation deeply with his ridiculous speech about being overly aggressive, and not following any aspect of the Geneva Convention, while pursuing the enemy. The military does not pay him any regard other than the fact that they are forced to obey the chain of command. My guess is that the man is an absolute laughing stock throughout all ranks and files, we witnessed the somber tone on the faces of the high ranking officers, Admirals and Generals, and the rather astonishing lack of applause for either Petie or Donnie. When it comes from a circus goombahs like Pete Hesgeth, or Donald Trump I'm guessing the military utterly despises them both, and has a great deal of contempt for the command structure at this point. They both like to play tough, they both like to act up, but they're both cowards and they are bordering on being traitors to their nation. There is no question that the re-election of Trump is a wet dream for both Putin, Xi, and all despots around the world. Having somebody so fabulously incompetent, so spectacularly ignorant, and so unable to negotiate anything even resembling a good deal for the US, is definitely a huge assist to adversaries areas around the world.
  16. Well you certainly don't have to care what I think, it means less than zero to me. If you don't want to read what I post please by all means put me on your ignore list. And if you don't want to read opinions that are in opposition to yours I suggest you don't even use the forum. Then again you could always learn how to establish self esteem, and grow some thicker skin.
  17. I would be curious how many hard-liners would put their lives at risk in a war, if the situation called for it. Or send their sons or daughters overseas, to sacrifice their lives or limbs? It's very easy to say you're a patriot, when there's nothing at stake. Many people who just don't have the intellectual capacity to understand the meaning of dissent as it relates to a democracy, are just resorting to throwing out juvenile memes to describe people that are in opposition to this war, and in opposition to Trump in general. This is interesting because I've been called a lot of things in this lifetime, but I've never been called a traitor before. Alot of my friends actually consider me to be quite loyal, but I guess because I don't agree with all of Trump's policies I'm also a traitor now. So could you please explain to me how this works. Where can I turn myself in, and who should I turn myself into, so that I can be tried for sedition against my nation. Once I'm found guilty how will the punishment be carried out? Will it be through electrocution, or the gas chamber, or will it be boring old lethal injection? Perhaps they will they hang me? Perhaps I will be one of the first to be brought before the fascists newly formed firing squads? I need that information so we can proceed with my execution. You need to provide that and show us that you're a truly patriotic American.
  18. Only complete and total annihilation of the Palestinian people, and removal from Gaza will satisfy the extreme, genocidal, super freak serial killers in Israel. Israel has become an abomination and no longer deserves the right to exist.
  19. Perhaps Trump has the same intention with Iran as Israel did with Gaza, just obliterate all the infrastructure and reduce the country to rubble. Good work Don, it is a great way to make friends and influence people.
  20. I think the most people who are calling for carpet bombing just don't get, is that you're talking about hundreds of thousands of women and children losing their lives, so it's actually a call for genocide, which is truly pathological in nature. It's a very nasty and likely racist thing to say, and it's putting Persians in the same category as insects or vermin, and though I may apply that to their government I certainly don't apply that to the civilian population. Taking the lives of innocents when it can be avoided, is pure evil.
  21. Because they have no skin in the game the average forum member who is supporting a ground invasion would need to be supplied with hundreds of diapers, if they were to participate themselves. Trump and his ridiculous cabinet of clowns are included in that assessment. Better yet why doesn't Trump show us how committed he is and send his four kids to fight on the ground? That would be a bit of a demonstration of how serious he is. That would be real skin in the game, wouldn't it?
  22. I know you're probably be on the age limit, but perhaps we can encourage you to join the ground offensive, and bring your children, nieces and nephews too? That would be a real show of patriotism.
  23. My guess is if you did a poll under 10% of Americans would say they did support sending ground trips to Iran, and that includes Republican voters. It would end up being a disaster of truly epic proportions, once the American soldiers started getting slaughtered, and anybody who doesn't think that Iran is already planning for this has not been paying attention. Iran is wetting their lips hoping Trump makes this historic mistake.
  24. That's a lot of money and in most civilized countries that would trigger a massive forensic audit, with a lot of motivation to get to the bottom of that pot of gold. Not so with America, and certainly not so where th3 Pentagon is concerned. There's just no motivation to root out corruption in America anymore. And Trump has degraded that desire to the point where it's just a normal daily occurrence.
