Irrelevant. As I said, no one on Trump's staff helped write the Project 2025. Trump had nothing to do with it and it contradicts Trump's agenda. You've been informed what the agenda really is. Try to think and stop repeating that lie from the Harris campaign echoed in the propaganda press.

Japan has always had a low level of proficiency, and even today the level is barely above Thailand's. Perhaps you can think of other reasons Thailand didn't develop an economy on par with Japan's. Common in Asia. Japan's been the same. China of course yet is the rising world power. Tell you the truth, though, seeing the degeneration and decadence of Western countries, I think kids could do with a bit more deference and patriotism taught in schools over there.

No. No one on Trump's staff wrote Project 2025. Ooh. Scary. I better start believing your lies!

One of the current leftist lies. Trump has nothing to with 2025 and has said so. Some of it flatly contradicts his positions. Trump's agenda is the Republican Party platform he helped write and approve. That's what he's being elected to try to do, and so he intends to try. Here it is for you again. 1. Seal the border, and stop the migrant invasion 2. Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history 3. End inflation, and make America affordable again 4. Make America the dominant energy producer in the world, by far! 5. Stop outsourcing, and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower 6. Large tax cuts for workers, and no tax on tips! 7. Defend our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms 8. Prevent World War Three, restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East, and build a great iron dome missile defense shield over our entire country -- all made in America 9. End the weaponization of government against the American people 10. Stop the migrant crime epidemic, demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, and lock up violent offenders 11. Rebuild our cities, including Washington DC, making them safe, clean, and beautiful again. 12. Strengthen and modernize our military, making it, without question, the strongest and most powerful in the world 13. Keep the US dollar as the world's reserve currency 14. Fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age 15. Cancel the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly and burdensome regulations 16. Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children 17. Keep men out of women's sports 18. Deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again 19. Secure our elections, including same day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship 20. Unite our country by bringing it to new and record levels of success --2024 Republican Party Platform You'll note it omits anything about abortion, no "ban" constantly lied about on the left. SCOTUS settled that matter. And it specifically supports Social Security and Medicare, refuting leftist nonsense about "throwing grandma over a cliff." What a sad obsession, the need to come here on the forum and lie day after day. Or the knowledge or qualifications, so you'd merely miseducate anyway. All good.

And he's right. Now, BKK does of course offer cheap hotels and tuk-tuks. Budget travel is certainly possible, and a good thing that is, too. BUT these gay travelers are on a company expense account and would travel in standard business style. Furthermore, they'd be dealing with higher-level professional business-to-business types (Chinese Thais) who can get things done. So the selection bias shown towards Thailand throughout the ad is quite condescending and plays to outdated stereotypes. It would certainly give a false impression to unwashed tourists who've never traveled here as well as potential business investors. I can see why Thais would find it annoying. So do I.

London, New York, and Singapore are major tourist destinations. Bangkok is a modern business hub as well as a tourist destination.

You would of course think that. So that ain't happenin'. Taking Trump out of context and twisting his meaning works for the gullible, however. Now it's amusing to see all the backpedaling and whitewashing of Kamala as the coronation nears. One article I read recently noted that the Biden admin didn't botther to groom her to be prez 'cause they never imagined she'd ever try to be prez. Whoops.

Now the many cat ladies on the forum ain't gonna be voting for Trump! OH NO. For you wannabe cat ladies, in the literal sense, I mean,

You can have my Android media box remote control when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

But what would you know? Innocent as a babe. Start training at the gym and man up. Turn off the ladies on The View. What happened instead was a staged and highly suspect phone call with all the enthusiasm and candor of a debt collections notice. “It appears that people feel very strongly that you need to be our nominee,” is literally how Obama put it to Harris, according to a transcript of the call that all parties involved mutually agreed to release. --Here’s How The Media Are Lying Right Now: Everything Is Fine Edition Turns Out No One Wanted Kamala Harris to Be the Dem Nominee, But Biden Endorsed Her Anyway

The call seems to have been a butt dial by Obama. He'd been postponing the endorsement, out of disappointment, no doubt. Sounds surprised when he asks, "Kamala???" Passes phone over to Michelle while gets his thoughts together, follows her lead. More seriously, what a fake video, "Kamala Gets A Call." As you might expect. Holding the phone up to her ear? Seriously? Audio sounds like it comes from a message machine. . . . cringeworthy, cheesy or staged. Piers Morgan, the right-leaning British broadcaster, likened it to “full-on Gorgonzola.” --The Obamas Called Kamala Harris. Cameras Rolled. Hokeyness Ensued.

As polls go, only reliable, professional, legitimate polls may be taken seriously. I have no problem at all accepting their results, whatever it is, unlike the deluded leftist to whom I responded. Nonsense is what it is. You're free to believe it as you wish, as I'm free to laugh at you for doing so. The cancellation mandate came only from the left, as it always does. ANF Poster predictions have always been excellent reverse indicators. I hadn't thought about it, but now I guess I'm glad to hear that there will be more polls with good numbers for Trump.🙂

Oh, any site that doesn't conform to the DNC and propaganda media talking points is always labeled as invalid. A given, in the absence of an ability to think and reason independently.

Oh, reliable. You can poll your next door neighbor, and that will be a reliable poll of one person. From that, and Generation Lab's laughably childish methodology, you can't conclude anything valid of a representative large population chosen at random. This is the point you don't quite understand. Laughable conclusion as the young people are drawn from a biased audience not really random. Since they're paying, the incentive is for the same student to take the survey multiple times. But GL could have surveyed 100 and got the same results. QU, true professionals, used a reliable random sample drawn from the population at large, from which a valid conclusion could be drawn. But didn't like the valid results of the poll and chose to believe a nonsense poll. Just part of the overall pattern of reading and naively believing nonsense.

Right. The section from RG to WS was one of the earliest, and successful, cable burying projects in Pattaya years ago. That by now it needs an upgrade is hardly surprising. Now they also plan to add the communication cables. Lack of doing so in the past, for perfectly understandable reasons, has always been a cause for finger pointing and accusations of "fake cable burying" to line pockets. No, our ace Urban Planners didn't have a clue that Pattaya would become so developed as it has, either. Sneers greeted the construction of Third Road and the opening of Central Festival, destined for bankruptcy, for example. So they aren't tearing up WS, just a section at the beginning. They buried the WS cables fairly recently, with success assured by the usual chorus of sneers.

Oh, how you wish. Been discussed before, so I'm not bothering to repeat it for you. You can research it yourself and put 2 and 2 together IF you wanted to. YES! The beauty of the scheme is that it WILL be difficult to prove because Dems are adamantly opposed, for debunked reasons, to any ID checking and, since illegals are being given IDs (gotta love it) and already voting in local elections, especially proof of citizenship. N-O-O-O. Just voted down the SAVE bill. Hee hee.

Appears to come from the usual self-interested big donors who had lost faith in Biden and stopped donating to him; and then laundered through ActBlue so as to not violate FEC rules and appear to come from numerous small donors.

Pathetic. A Generation Labs survey. No wonder you and other members believe so much nonsense. Generation Lab, a small polling startup that studies the attitudes and behaviors of young people, with a particular focus on college students. . . . 10 person team. --Business Insider Polling college students is one of the group's specialties — over the course of several years, they've built up an impressive roster of email addresses from colleges and universities around the country that includes students from traditional universities, community colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and women's colleges --About, Generation Labs Sends out emails from "an impressive roster" and pays (biased) students to answer surveys. Redditor: I do surveys w/ them a few times a month and get $3-5 for each. They always pay within like 2 days. And here's an invitation: VERY scientific. College students on an email list accepting payment to respond to surveys. Unpublished methododolgy. I'll take reality, thank you. Established in 1988, the Quinnipiac University Poll is a nationally and internationally recognized polling organization that adheres to rigorous methodological practices. The Gold Standard The Quinnipiac University Poll uses what has long been considered the gold standard methodology in polling: random digit dialing using live interviewers, calling both landlines and cell phones. This methodology has been the key to our accuracy over our many years of polling. --https://poll.qu.edu/methodology/

No, you made that up, don't understand the dynamics. However, Harris' efforts to appeal to young voters haven't quite panned out in all the polls yet. A Quinnipiac University poll reveals that Harris is trailing Trump 39 to 58 among young voters, a performance even worse than President Biden's, who trailed Trump by 17 percentage points. --Fact Check Team: Will Kamala Harris' appeal to Gen Z win votes or just likes?

Yes, I had said that in an earlier post in one thread or another. One intriguing question is exactly when the ouster plot was hatched and by whom exactly. One writer in RCP speculates, I would not be surprised if the scheme to unseat Biden was hatched in February when Hur declined to prosecute the president for classified documents violations on the grounds that a jury would clear Biden because they would see him as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” With that declaration, the cat was out of the bag. Maybe Biden’s handlers initially thought he could survive that humiliation, but when the president gave a press conference to declare himself vindicated, he mistakenly identified Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi as the president of Mexico. The wheels may have started turning to jettison Biden in order to preserve the Democratic Party. --Who Engineered the Political Coup Against Biden? That's what they do. Busy whitewashing and rewriting history, lyin' like dawgs. Kamala will probably rock along on the sugar high and get a little boost at the Convention w/ her new VP candidate. After that, when interest is high as the election nears, Repub attacks will really ramp up and let people know who she really is. Then she'll be shredded in the debate(s), unless she finds an excuse to bow out. Her lead will probably disappear at that point, and she'll be sufficiently underwater to lose. Hopefully the RNC will now use all the old Dem tricks, mail-in balloting, ballot harvesting, drop boxes, etc. The wild card will be how successful Dem efforts will be at concealing votes from the millions of illegals they brought in to become Dem party members.

They delayed rather too long to hold their coup. Or putsch, as it's been called. Maybe that was by design, however. The DNC bosses have known about Biden's dementia for years and covered it up, in collaboration w/ the fake news. What talking points are those? OH. When was that? Missed it. 'Course, Kamala's NOT a sitting prez, and she was beaten badly in the primaries in which she once participated. Uh oh.

No. But the Repub candidates did have televised debates. None of the 13 possible candidates polled well enough to lure Trump into debating any of them. This, as opposed to the DNC's fiat annointing of Haley w/o letting the voters hear from other better candidates. That's 'cause they knew she'd lose. Let's not take that talk too seriously. They can say what they wish, but they've been heard from already and are deeply unpopular. Cheney sank herself as a hack on the J6 committee. Pence was around but he lacks any charisma whatsoever. He's also a too much of a Christian fundamentalist. Trump's not fond of him owing to a major disagreement, in which Cheney was quite right. Being right is, you know, unforgivable. 😉 Somebody on the Dem side floated Romney as a Kamala replacement, 'cause he's such a RINO. He'd be much better than Kamala, but of course has no chance of going up against her.

My condolences. You're not making much progress, however.

On the contrary, quite understandable, as he doesn't go along with socialist agendas and demands an end to America's being taken advantage of. Europe had peace w/ Russia under Trump, now under Biden they're enjoying a war in Ukraine. And want the US to pay for most of the cost, which Trump's not going to go along with. Yeah, Biden's been GREAT for Europe. Lot of idiots in charge over there, as they turn Muslim and African. Peace has a cost, but it'll be less than that of WW 3 that Biden (then Kamala) and his obeisance to the military-industrial complex is moving the world toward. NOW after Biden the cost will be higher. We'll see what the Art of the Deal maker can come up with, using a combo of stick and carrot.

OH. Did somebody dare satirize your religion? You'll get over it.
