Bill Clinton received a hellicopter. Still uses it today.
You would have a link for the claim, right?
There is no evidence anywhere that he was given a helicopter, much less that he still uses it.
So, where did you get this information that even the US Government doesn't know about. Please tell.-

Yawn.
What has Biden got to do with these white South Africans being fast tracked against the usual policy? Nothing.
Any thoughts on the actual topic? (Hint: it's not a topic about Biden - if you read it he's not mentioned in my subject or my post, he isn't in office in case you hadn't noticed).-

Good for you. Good also that you have the time to post in a forum that you have no interest in. Or is that sad?
Nice that he thinks they should be available if you want one though.

And what about the transportation infrastructure around the airport?
What about it? It's been designed with that in mind since the start. Road access from the south, and also train access from the south.
What's your opinion on it, how would you have altered the plan? (Yes, I know you don't have an opinion and you know nothing about the plan, you just need to drop a sentence on every thread).

If you read that crappy article it actually only quotes a few nobodies on X .... another NON story from the msm for the haters like yourself to repost everywhere.
Wow, look at the crown prince wearing a thawb and sandals!! How disgraceful and disrespectful! Could he not have put a nice suit on and a pair of brogues???
How dare he turn up for a meeting with Donald in sandals! No doubt he took him to task over this. No doubt his supporters are up in arms on the internet, right? Right? Erm....maybe they forgot to be outraged this time.-

Great idea! So Donald is helping the indigenous people by accepting and fast tracking white South Africans to the USA in batches of 40-50 until the land is returned fully? What a man!!
And America should do the same, obviously? So who will be left there? Just the native Americans and a bunch of white South Africans??-

First of all Trump has always been supporting legal immigration. Second, these are actual refugees and they speak English and have a shared culture with Americans. They will integrate very easily and cause no problems.
You should be happy we're going getting useful people for once instead of burdens and parasites.
So why then has he suspended all asylum applications from everywhere if he supports legal immigration?
And why has he fast tracked white South African asylum seekers when he won't allow others?
Why are these well fed, safe, white South Africans deemed genuine refugees that don't need to go through any normal channels? Any thoughts on that? I don't know.......maybe there's a connection somehow between these people and their treatment and others and their treatment? What could it be?
And how do you know they are "useful"? Have you done criminal background checks? (Because it seems like no one else has). What are their skills and what will they bring to the United States? You seem to know a lot about it so would be nice if you can share with us. What are they bringing. And who are "parasites"?

It's purely optional. It's kinda like if you want to pay for more ringtones on your smartphone, buy addtional stickers/emojis for some phone apps like LINE, upgrade to ad-free Youtube, upgrade the GPS map system, add more options for turn signals, etc...etc...etc. More and more electronics are now part of newer cars (EV and ICEV).....electronics which can do whiz-bang things and also connect to the internet.....opens up new revenue sources for car manufacturers.
https://www.audiusa.com/en/inside-audi/innovation/audi-connect/audi-connect-function-on-demand/
Yeah, Jeez, it was just a question and I didn't expect it to turn in to a conspiracy theory discussion, but then this is AN and there are many paranoid people here. Like you said it is an option: some people may want it, some may not. That's it.
You use an iPhone - do you want to pay for extra cloud storage or not? Up to you.
You use FoodPanda - do you want to pay a membership for free deliveries and other benefits? Up to you. (And yes I know this is an obsolete example).
If you want to buy a base model of a car but subscribe for features of the more premium models that's up to you. Personally I don't like it but it's not a tracking device or anything to be scared of, it is just not a business model I really like for a car.And for @johng who thinks this is Black Mirror - grow up. You think if the powers that be wanted to shut your bank account, or disable your ICEV they wouldn't be able to? Unless your car is a 20-year old model with no connectivity you are dreaming. My petrol car has internet connectivity, the nasty Black Mirror people could hack me and disable my ECU tomorrow if they wanted.

Yes, I made an assumption and it was wrong. I think if people didn't get it it is most likely due to not having alerts enabled. But again that's an assumption, and as I don't have good form in this thread with assumptions I will stand down.

This is just ridiculous. Seriously. Pay subscription fees for turning indicators.
No wonder the European automobile industry is going down the drain.
I'll give it another decade to completely disappear. All brands and manufacturers will be based in China then.
Yeah, I agree. A desperate move and it leaves a bad taste - very "Appley".
Very glad non of the Chinese marques have gone down that route (I think), they seem to just give you as much as they can.-

There is NO editorial voice of the forum ? We (admin) do not dictate what is posted in the mainstream media. Articles are sourced across the board from a range of sources and yes there may be some articles from one side or another but its by no means a permanent bias and to suggest it is, is unfair, but then thats the nature of the forum members I suppose.
.....as evidenced by the fact that in this thread there are people complaining the editorial policy is left wing, and others complaining it is right wing. You can't win, as two people can see the same thing so completely differently.
I have my own opinion but it's more a reflection of what is in the MSM and who it is owned by.-

Probably because the other ten are not registered in Bangkok, will still be listed under their home town. Not ideal.

So my brother in the UK has an Audi e-Tron. They are trying to push subscriptions on him for things like swooshy indicators. Not sure who would pay, but I guess they are all scrambling to make up for falling sales, or to make as much money as they can while they can.
Are any of the Chinese brands doing anything like this? Or is it is just you get all the options if you buy the top spec and that's it. I would hate to see subs coming in and for that to be normalised.
And amazing that indicators not only identify that the car is turning but also in which direction! What new fangled technology!
On another note I hate swooshy indicators, normal flashing ones are so much clearer to other road users, but that's a rant for another day. -

A. Because laptop denying, Biden sharp as a tack propaganda pushers who fell for every false narrative hook line & sinker tell us so without a shred of evidence to back up their false claims.
So thats it. Settled.
1. I don't deny laptops, I believe they exist.2. What has Biden got to do with this?
3. What evidence is missing? There are dozens of news stories of it actually happening. And footage of Trump talking about it.
4. What the heck are you on about?

So what's your opinion on him halting all refugee applications, but then fast tracking a bunch of white South Africans through as "refugees" with no vetting? Why the double standards? Any possible ideas?-

I may have implied I that Donald Trump was an idiot, and I am certain I have implied he's a racist and has racist agendas. I am willing to hold my hands up and say I was wrong because I read that he just fast tracked some African refugees. They bypassed the usual processing, they didn't include the UNHCR which is usually involved in the vetting procedure, and they were personally welcomed by US officials. Even though he has halted refugees from war torn countries, he still cared enough about these African refugees to come to their aid, bypass normal procedures and welcome them to their new life in the US of A. What a great man, what a great friend of poor Africans.

Pensioner arrested over 'thought crime' tweet as officers examine 'Brexity books and wife's shopping list'
Some exerts from the article:
A retired special constable has spoken out about free speech being under attack after he was detained over a social media post warning about anti-Semitism in Britain.
The officers arrived after Foulkes challenged a supporter of pro-Palestinian marches on X.
Foulkes had responded to a post from an account called "Mr Ethical" featuring a Palestinian flag, writing: "One step away from storming Heathrow looking for Jewish arrivals".
Without warning, the Metropolitan Police Intelligence Command had referred his post to Kent Police, citing "concerns around online content".
Foulkes was locked in a police cell for eight hours and questioned on suspicion of malicious communications.
https://www.gbnews.com/news/free-speech-row-kent-thought-crime-tweet-police-brexit-books
Oh please, posting GB "News" is the most obvious thing ever - it is the most rabidly right wing broadcaster in the UK by far: like Fox News on anti-immigration, racist, right wing steroids. It also has a history of being fined and sued for breaches of impartiality, for breaching ethics standards, for using misleading graphics and fake statistics to link one certain ethnic group with certain types of crimes (and that was later deemed "inflammatory and misleading"). It has also faced issues with blatantly false reporting which it had to apologise for.
In short, it is a hideous, hate spreading channel and is not a serious source. No suprise you post the rubblish you do if this is where you get your "news".
However, Foulkes was genuinely arrested. What the GB News "article" fails to mention though is any context at all, just stupid quotes about "Brexity things". If you read the full context the post did seem to be a call to storm Heathrow and intercept Jews, so no surprise the police looked at it. However, eight hours does seem like too long to investigate and conclude that he actually wasn't making that call, and the police have publicly apologised. But incitement to violence is definitely a matter for the police to look at - just in this case they bungled it somewhat, mistakes can happen.
Even Foulkes realises this: On reflection he recognised it would have been better if he had made it clear he was challenging the original poster about their escalation of antisemitism, rather than it appearing as if he was the one who was planning action at Heathrow.-

I never mentioned the moon landings either, or the price of eggs. This topic is not about Biden, get over that.
