Poll: Do you agree with General Kelly that Trump is a fascist?
connda replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
Yep - and Putin's Ruskie satellites are beaming propaganda into the third-eye of Blue State voters and twisting their minds to vote from Trump. And the DPRK's Kim is sending Trump instructions to help Putin win the war in Ukraine so that he can built Trump Towers in Kiev and Pyongyang. Trump is Hitler!!! Grrrrr! -
My Microsoft Word has been 'deactivated'. What can I do?
connda replied to siftasam's topic in IT and Computers
Laser printers. I bought one and never looked back. I don't buy anything from HP anymore. They price gouged their customers, including me, for years. Not anymore. If you need to purchase a subscription to run your hardware, don't buy that brand of hardware. -
You can use Kratom powder or Kratom leaf to offset the withdrawals symptom. Realize you'll eventually have to withdraw from Kratom, but it's an easier step down. By the way, this is exactly why Kratom was historically outlawed. From a historical perspective, it cut into the opium trade. It's an effective way to taper off of opioids, but was made illegal as those who made money off of the opium trade of old wanted addicts. You need to taper off of the Tramadol. Kratom will make the step-down easier. If you don't have the will power to taper, then get professional help.

Say that about a black or Hispanic person and see where it goes in the US. The implicit acceptance of anti-white racism by Western leaders is really an attempt at provoking society to descend into chaos. Ordo ex Chao - Order out of Chaos Don't buy into it. Stand united against racism in all of its ugly forms.

Poll: Do you agree with General Kelly that Trump is a fascist?
connda replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
It's ironic that those who are the most likely to call someone else a "Fascist" are also more likely to embrace that exact totalitarianism that Fascism extols. Coincidence? Nope. The primary problem with people like this is they are dumber than a box of hammers, although they think they are smart. Clever? Maybe. Intelligent? No so much. Therefore their single most effective line of defense is ridicule and spewing the exact hatred they claim that those who are "haters" spew. Why? Well, when you run out of word-salad you just devolve to name calling. "You're a Fascist!!!" Try looking in a mirror. -

General Kelly doesn't know what the term "Fascist" actually means. In his case, he is using the term "Fascist" as a word to demean and degrade Trump. Basically he is name calling. The fact is that most US politicians implicitly (or explicitly) support a Fascist form of government, the term "Fascist" in this case being used in its classic form as Mussolini would have used it. Essentially the public-private (government/corporate) partnership which seeks to benefit the stakeholders (government and corporate interests) at the expense of the public itself. And it does so in a centralized, authoritarian manner. As George Carlin said, "It's a big club and you ain't in it." A "Fascist" is someone who supports such a form of governance. So calling Trump a "Fascist" is missing the point that virtually all of those in Congress and the Administration, in the Pentagon, and the Washington bureaucracy are essentially defacto, Fascists. They work for the government but integrate tightly with corporate interests via lobbies and corporate marketing. Given that definition, Gen John Kelly is not doubt as much of a "Fascist" as Trump, Biden, Harris, or any other critter scurrying around in the swamp that is Washington DC. "Then Trump is Hitler!!! Grrrrr." That's better! -

It's California. The claimant always wins as Lefties always blame their own lack of insight on others. "Let's sue McDonlds because their "Hot Coffee" is actually hot and there aren't 10 signs on all the doors, windows, and cup stating that "Hot Coffee Is Hot." "Sue the restaurant!!! Grrrrr." -

Welcome to America where people can't take responsibility for their own stupidity and instead must "sue the pants off of the bad restaurant for not protecting her from herself". No doubt she'll move on to sue Mexican restaurant next, 'eh? -

connda replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
The problem with insurance companies is they look for loopholes to escape from paying out. So if your bike doesn't have the proper paperwork, perhaps they use that as an excuse to deny a claim should you need to file a claim. Something to consider. -
A Call for António Guterres’ Resignation: No Longer a Laughing Matter
connda replied to Social Media's topic in World News
From the authors POV, the world needs a leader who is beholden to Washington and its allies. Although the author dances around without explicitly saying it, that's really what this is about. The nascent BRICS is anathema to the old world order which is in decline and which, in turn, is isolating itself from the rest of the world as it lashes out at a new, economically competitive league of nations which threatens its historical global primacy. And the BRICS will function within the framework of the United Nations, therefore the author stands aghast that the UN Secretary General actually embraces the interests of the global majority over the interests of the global minority which is rapidly losing power. Yep - the times are a'changin', and nothing short of a nuclear war is going to stop it. The die is set, the stone is cast. What you hear in the author's words is the wailing of those who are losing their grip on world dominance...and they are angry, and they have the weapons upon which their fragile economies are based, as historically empire rules and dies by the sword. Underneath this Op-ed is the threat, "Change to UN Secretary General with one who is aligned with US interests or face the consequences." -
A Call for António Guterres’ Resignation: No Longer a Laughing Matter
connda replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Synopsis: The US defacto uni-polar 'empire' of the "rules-based international order" (The US makes the rules and the world follows its orders) - The author considers to be Good V.S The nascent, emerging multi-polar world based on international law arbitrated with the framework of the United Nations, which is based on a charter recognizing mutual respect for the interests of all members nations - The author considers to be Bad The former representing approximately 1 billion people whose countries have a history of colonial exploitation and whose leaders and corporate stakeholders care primarily for their own interests at the expense of their citizenry. V.S. The latter representing the other 7 billion people of the Eurasia and the Global South (the Global South historically being the object of colonial exploitation) from which they are now actively rejecting, and whose leaders are seeking to pull their populations out of poverty and into a middle-class existence where there are 7 billion active consumers of products made and traded within the BRICS economic union making it capable of running in isolation from the former. The author? A cheerleader for "old colonialism" and a uni-polar, "exceptional" hegemon. UN Secretary-General Guterres? The leader of the "United Nations," the majority of the world's sovereign nations, and as such the individual looking out for the interests of the majority which now falls within the sphere of interests of the ever growing economic community of BRICS-nations. The US is empire in decline; BRICS is a new-world order in ascent. The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is rapidly fadin' And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin' - Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-Changin' -
