  1. Dog pees on a wall 😐 <shrug> Man pees on a wall "Throw him in jail, fine him, deport him, send him to the gallows, arrrrgggghhhh!!!!"
  2. Your extension and your 90 day reporting have nothing to do with each other. The extension does not reset the 90 day reporting date.
  3. I.e, Teflon Tony is calling for a "Democratic Dictatorship." <laughs> Dude has become a national security risk. Those backing dictatorship may just provoke it - in the form of another military coup. Want a dictatorship? That's the way to get it.
  4. Why not - one party with Teflon Tony as dictator. It's time for Tony to either go back to playing with the grandchildren or back to prison. Or Dubai. They did allow him to leave the country - take the hint.
  5. Probably because if a shoplifter is caught they are released with a handslap, but criticize the shoplifter or the UK government and get throw into prison.
  6. Teflon Tony is above the law and everyone knows it. He can do anything he wants.
  7. You can say the same thing of New Yorkers.
  8. I could go out to my car and pull the SIM out of the camera and post the Thai guying peeing along-side of Highway 11 as I was pulling on to the highway yesterday. Why not, seeing that Thai social media has its panties in a twist whenever a farang pulls out his Johnson to take a squirt, but trust me, Thai men, and ladies and kids peeing along side of the highway is the freaking norm. And honestly, I really don't care, nor am I offended, nor are any Thais offended either. This fake indignation is simply racism. I'm going to start a collection of dashcam videos of Thais peeing along side the road. And then whenever we have Thai indignation and calls for Thai authorities to find and prosecute farang peeing in public, I'll send in my videos, watch them ignored by the BIB, and then report back to AN. How about that?
  9. I don't want to see 100% tariffs, but I wouldn't mind seeing the 30% tariffs like those getting levied on guitar and electronic equipment that I've been buying lately - and I guess just about anything else that is being imported. If Thailand is going to levy tariffs on US goods that I don't see any reason for the US to match Thailand's tariffs to the tee. What I want to see is a level playing field for all parties.
  10. That's because the noise about "bans" are all a joke. There is a lot of noise, but no enforcement. There is no will at all by Thai authorities to actually fix the problem. The can will be kicked down the road forever as the air gets worse and worse and worse.
  11. Translated: "Doctor Tom personally hates all Chinese and China. But he's in good company. Hating China and Chinese is in vogue in Western nations and is expected of their citizens, especially Western expats living a few hundred KM from China!" OP! Go, enjoy the culture, learn, observe, have fun. That will do one of two things: It will 1) reinforce everything the China-haters say, or 2) it will completely dispel everything the China haters say. Let us know when you get back. But personally I think you'll be in the latter camp when you return.
  12. Trump's Successful Gambit to Remind Americans of His Incompetence Translated: "I personally hate Donald J. Trump so listen to me spew my hatred. If you hate DJT like I do, you can spew more hatred toward him too. Come up with new ideas as we'll be spewing DJT hatred for at least 4 more years. My current idea? Trump is incompetence. Join me in spewing, 'Trump is incompetent and needs to be removed from office!'" Ah-huh. Four more years of angst huh. Gawd.
  13. I'm not so sure about that. At least according to my Thai wife.
  14. Tucker Carlson Alleges Biden Administration Plotted to ‘Kill Putin’ I wouldn't doubt that one iota. And I wouldn't doubt that Trump was targeted too.
  15. You do a 90 day if you are with 15 days of your expiration date, otherwise you don't. My 90 day hasn't coincided with my extension renewal for years. And BTW, I've never dropped off my passport to do a 90 day. Even back in the day when I reported to Chiang Mai immigration in the overly crowded sh**-hole before the renovation, the longest it took me to get a 90 day stamp was an hour, but usually between 5 to 20 minutes. Unlike last year, online seems to work for me now. And I no longer deal with Chiang Mai immigration even though I'm in that Immigration district. Thank God.
  16. This is a problem that can be solved if the government chose to earmark funds to spay and neuter all feral dogs as well as provide government subsidized spay and neuters services for Thai citizens with dogs. The problem is solvable. But like flooding, air quality, and traffic deaths? They is no will to change.
  17. Why is Thaksin acting like the Prime Minister and why is it being allowed?
  18. As a private pilot in my pre-Thailand years, I can pretty much guess that the helicopter was where it shouldn't have been. Planes come in on a glide slope and are positioned in landing patterns by ATC in the tower. The helicopter was in that flight path. Why? Guess we'll find out who will be pilloried soon enough. I seriously doubt the collision was the fault of the airplane's pilots. RIP - nobody survived that. 🙏
  19. So she's a pro-Covid-vaxx shill and a progressive Leftie who is a staunch member of the status-quo. I'm surprised that she wasn't dusted off and instructed to say that JFK Jr. raped here when she was a teen. I wouldn't doubt that some Blue-babe will finally be rolled out in Cavenaugh fashion to accuse JFK Jr of rape before this is done. Instead she just goes for character assassination. Yep - they are afraid - very very afraid - because if JFK Jr is confirmed he is going to shake the foundations of the established health care racket to it's core. They are p***ing themselves at the prospect.
  20. Can you source that. Legit question. I dug into and haven't found that neither Medicaid or the VA have had funding explicitly cut. FYI about VA - speaking as a US veteran. The VA doesn't do f***-all for me. I'm a cold war vet and not a "Veteran Of Foreign Wars," which btw, nobody is as Congress hasn't declared "war" since WWII. When I show up they whip out their "Johnson" and spray me down with the yellow fluid. Cold War veterans as far as the US government is concerned aren't "real veterans." But with that said - the programs even for vets f'ed up in combat sucks. But nothing I've read indicates that they'll be deprived of needed services, and those men and women who were injured deserve everything the US can give them and more. Other than that, the VA is an abomination - it doesn't nothing for me at all. Never has, never will. So? I don't really care.
  21. Yep, as shameful as the Biden Administration refusing Presidential candidate JFK Jr a SSSA detail. And explain why every retired General needs a US paid security detail. Let the MIC pay.
