  1. I assume you have inside information, from a person working on the inside of the Trump administration, right there in the White House. Or would I be assuming too much?
  2. Committing assault on another passenger, on an international flight, from the U.K. to Thailand, then arrested on the aircraft and ... A) Escorted to his hotel? B) Escorted to the nearest bar? C) Escorted to a mall for a shopping trip? D) None of the above?
  3. Yep, Trump is going to become a dictator, lock up every one of his opponents and then will be president for life. Right?
  4. This could be off topic, unless the situation involves police jail/detention. I flew into Thailand arriving Monday, February 10, flying in on my connection at Heathrow, UK. Across the aisle from me sat a man who had a very close timed connection to Vietnam. As the aircraft was pulling into the gate, an announcement was made, telling all passengers to remain seated until security boarded the aircraft. One of the stewardess's came to tell the man going to Vietnam that security was needed for a man who hit another passenger. Once parked and the door opened, about 10 police (airport police, dark uniforms?) and and some airport security (blue shirts) boarded and walked back to the economy section. I could see a guy in his late 40's or early 50's stand up in the aisle, take his carryon out of the overhead, and then was then escorted out of the aircraft. Not a very good start to a trip to Thailand, if a tourist, or possibly the beginning of a bad end to residence in Thailand if an expat living here. I have been flying off and on since 1961. This is the first time I have witnessed police board an aircraft.
  5. You should tell the people that claim a landslide is 58% (or more) is not a landslide then. I am using their figures. Besides, there are a couple of other people elected president that garnered more than the reagan, mondale election, if I recall correctly.
  6. If I have this correct, One way to measure a landslide victory is by percentage points. Historically, many outlets have used the phrase "landslide" for victories in which a candidate beats their opponents by at least 15 percentage points in a popular vote count.1 2 Raines, Howell. "Reagan Wins By a Landslide, Sweeping at Least 48 States; G.O.P. Gains Strength in House." The New York Times, 7 Nov. 1984.  Under that scenario, a landslide would occur when the winning candidate in a two-way election receives 58% of the vote, leaving his opponent with 42%. there are, 538 electoral votes in the electoral college. 58% of 538 is 312.04. So, according to the above, Trump won the electoral college by a quote, unquote, landslide.

  8. It was in the Electoral College. Where the numbers count!
  9. Triple K are democrats, not republicans. They started it, now they have disguised how they work it. Hillary was mentored by a KKK recruiter you know.
  10. That diagram is what I have been telling people for years. The center moved left and now those politicians who were moderate democrats are now RINO's.
  11. I never heard that saying when I was on active duty back in the early 1970's. But based on my travel since then, I agree ...
  12. How many people from South America and Central America died trying to get into the United States under lax (or no) retrictions under democrat leadership? Who were the morons during democrat presidential terms?
  13. I am curious. Are you a Thai citizen or a citizen of another country? If a citizen of a country different than Thailand, what country would that be? If you are in Thailand and are from another country, what are the visa requirements for you to enter and stay in Thailand?
  14. I am old enough to remember, as a kid, when people were allowed to smoke on planes. I didn't like it. I can agree to let airports have properly constructed smoking rooms inside the airport where the smoke is sucked out by fans in the ceiling (and I assume filtered and ejected outside), but not inside aircraft.
  15. I have wondered about that addiction. My brother started smoking in high school back about 1965. About 15 years later he decided one day to quite smoking and never smoked again from that day. He didn't have a problem with it. My dad was a smoker and died from cancer that started in his lungs. When he died, my uncle, who had smoked for decades, stopped smoking without any problem either. As for the cancer that my dad died from, I suspect that it may have been caused by breathing in brake shoe dust that had asbestos in it. He was a mechanic in the Army and I remember times he would blow his nose after he came home from work. The tissues he blew his nose into had black colored mucus which he said was from the brake shoe dust. This would happen for several days in a row when the Army battalion would have the motor pool mechanics change the brakes on all vehicles, which meant changing brakes for thousands of wheels of jeeps, 3/4 ton, 2 1/2 ton, 5 ton trucks, cars, tanks, armored personnel carriers and any other vehicle with brake shoes.
  16. I have seen smoking rooms at airports in the past. I could see smoke from the cigarettes pulled upwards towards a ventilated box in the ceiling. The rooms appeared to have fans systems that pull air into the room when the door opens. There must have been vents allowing air to enter the rooms from outside of it, I don't recall seeing any though. Being curious I stood at the doorway of two of the rooms I saw that had several people inside smoking cigarettes. When the doors opened as someone entered or exited I could smell absolutely no cigarette smoke and I could feel air being pulled into the rooms through the doorway when the doors were opened. Like the pictures in the article, I have seen people standing around doorways outside smoking cigarettes. The smell of cigarette smoke from active smokers and stale cigarette butts was evident. The smoking rooms seem to be a better option than having people stand outside the doorways.
  17. " McDonald's ... exist here, but let’s be honest—they're just not quite the same as back home. I don't know if you mean that McDonald's is better or worse in Thailand. My experience is, at least at one McDonald's, is the burgers are much better in Thailand than here in the U.S. of A.
  18. About 5 years ago I transited through the middle east, Qatar I think. After leaving the aircraft I used one of two urinals in the toilet at a waiting room where the gates were. Less than 10 minutes later I walked by the toilet and saw a long line of men waiting to get in the same toilet. I started counting to see how many were in line, I stopped counting at 50.
  19. According to the FAA, a Learjet 55 was en route to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri when it went down. PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A medical transport jet carrying six people slammed into a Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood moments after taking off on Friday, erupting in a fireball and engulfing several homes in fire. It happened near Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard just after 6 p.m. Friday. https://6abc.com/post/northeast-philadelphia-small-plane-crash-cottman-Roosevelt-Boulevard/15852260/
  20. I met a guy who was ex CIA.. His name was Tony Poe. Up in Udon Thanii before his wife died and a relative convinced him to move back to San Francisco. https://www.nndb.com/people/157/000130764/tpoe.JPG
  21. You can't fool me. He is the fourth from the left!
  22. Apparently this is just part four of some of his mistakes. But some of them appears to be mistakes made because his mind was/is going away.

  23. Aaahhhh, what's that saying about reading comprehension? 😯
  24. Did you know that military brass web belt buckles are magnetic? Don't ask me how I know. I will just lie to you!
  25. If I were Professor Dickle, I would submit my resignation right then and there!
