US election 2024: Putin says he prefers Joe Biden over Donald Trump in the White House https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68302071

Off the topic of fake watches ... Many years back, in some magazines, I used to see an add for a TV antenna. A copy of a brand name TV antenna. Boldly advertised as a "Genuine Imitation"! I think it sold for the same price as the TV antenna it copied.

Assuming that the control of the vessel is via satellite comms, it would not take much to jam the signal, overpower what crew is aboard, and take over the ship.

I met an ex CIA agent in Udorn Thani one time. His name was Tony Poe.

What about democrat supporters of meat hunting? Do you understand the mind of those people?

I see them every time I park in one.

Don't forget, there are those that are believers in having another beer!

You have proved it's an integral part of your settings!

Have you met any Lao that speak French? During the Vietnamese/American war, French linguists were needed to translate decrypted messages between the Vietnamese and Lao government/military. The same thing with Cambodia communications between Laos and Vietnam. It was the lingua franca of Southeast Asia, with Thailand being the exception.

“Normally a car fire you can put out with 500 to 1,000 gallons of water,” Austin Fire Department Division Chief Thayer Smith said, according The Independent. “But Teslas may take up to 30,000-40,000 gallons of water, maybe even more, to extinguish the battery pack once it starts burning." Up to 150 000 liters of water needed to put out a fire in an electric ... ctif.org/news/150-000-liters-water-needed-put-out-fire-electric-car

I learned that trick back in 1969, in the U.S. Army basic training.

He had Secret Service agents present at Mar A Lago. I have had to perform work in areas where the secret service provided protection. No one should have been able to access the area where Trump had the documents stored, without the secret service allowing it. Even after having a background investigation for a top secret clearance with SCI access, two back ground investigations as a federal agent for two different security clearances, it was difficult to impossible for me to complete some work in areas where presidents and ex presidents were present. This even when I had an additional background investigation to work places such as democrat and republican conventions, I would be denied access to areas and I was supposed to be there. Can you suggest a way that someone from the general public would have had access to any classified documents in Trump's residence, when the secret service was present when that member of the public was not supposed to be there?

I can't. I don't know who Barry Lyndon is!

Perhaps it is to the benefit of russia and putin,, regardless if there is any benefit to Trump, if there is any. The russians are in this to benifit their country. They don't care who may gain from their efforts, if any.

And the Trump campaign, which included others as well as Trump, since the dossier was about Trump, and without Trump, there is no Trump campaign to have been investigated!

There is this too. The FBI refrained from launching a FISA warrant request until it came into possession of a dossier from Christopher Steele, a former British intelligent agent. The Steele dossier played "a central and essential role in the decision by FBI [Office of General Counsel] to support the request for FISA surveillance targeting Carter Page, as well as the FBI's ultimate decision to seek the FISA order," the IG report concluded. The FBI "drew almost entirely" from the Steele dossier to prove a “well-developed conspiracy” between Russians and the Trump campaign. The IG found that FBI agents were “unable to corroborate any of the specific substantive allegations against Carter Page” in the Steele dossier but the FBI relied on Steele’s allegations regardless. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/12/10/ig-report-fbi-fisa-abuse-secret-court-trump-campaign-column/4383722002/

Thank you for that explanation.

Yet, were there not several FISA warrants issued to investigate the Trump campaign based on that document?

Might be like that with biden not being prosecuted for keeping unsecured classified documents, something I could be in prison for still, if I had done what he did, having had access to extremely sensitive stuff. That was scary stuff. We had classified document compartments like bank vaults. If you were caught in one, by yourself, without a second person in there, you were arrested and subject to imprisonment! Have you ever used or tried to access a top secret level, secure, filing cabinet, that refuses to open, even when you have the correct combination or even seen one? A much more secure location to store classified documents than a cardboard box or car in a garage, if what I have heard reported about in biden's case (I have not tried to verify the accuracy of those statements).

I find it in the posts I read on the internet and from listening to different people talking about it. As to dictionaries. Woke used to be something related to the opposite of asleep, if I recall correctly. Sort of like "gay" used to mean " lighthearted and carefree", "Nan had a gay disposition and a very pretty face", now it means something entirely different.

OK, my reading comprehension is failing me here. What does "properly predicated" mean in your sentence?
