MAGAs are incapable of leaving harsh truths alone; they are obsessed with trying to get at people who know infinitely more than them and who post truths about their messiah. They appear in each and every thread that tells the truth about Trump. Any girlyman swing they try to take at the facts and at reality is always impotent and done with nothing to refute what is part of the official record---in the intel community, in the SSCI Report issued under Marco Rubio, in the Mueller Report, and in the data coming from the Durham investigation. They cannot refute anything in my post. The Trump campaign willingly cooperated with Russia in the 2016 election. That is an undeniable fact. Whether such willful cooperation is a crime or not, I don't know. I just know the cooperation was there, and I also know Putin wanted Trump, not Hillary. His efforts may have helped him get his wish; that cannot ever be truly known. Everything is my post in factual. It is damning in terms of showing both Putin's intent as well as the Trump campaign's willful cooperation with Russian assets to drive sentiment in the run up to the election. There is even more to the story, but a bit still remains classified and some comes from my own friendship with one of the key figures in this matter. Rather than cause MAGA heads here to burst, I will politely leave this out. Suffice it to say if the attempts to weaponize the DoJ against patriots who did their job continues, all of what I wrote and much more will come out in court. I think Trump prefers accusation, not a case that will remind people of what his campaign willfully did in 2016. If Trump and his lackeys cannot invoke some lie about "national security" and try to prevent material that is already in open sources from being raised in court, they will let this weaponization against John Brennan and James Comey stop at the level of accusation. Oh, and Trump may regret having pardoned Paul Manafort, because that pardon means Manafort cannot refuse to appear in court and cannot refuse to answer questions related to his cooperation with Russia via his former business partner Kilimnik. If Manafort lies in court, he will be charged with perjury, because that will be a new crime that falls outside of the pardon. Also, he cannot refuse to answer "on the grounds it might be self-incrimination", because he has already been pardoned.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:47:08 +0000Five is a struggle, but I had a great time raking down Sukhumvit Road on my folding bike, and then coming back along the port road to the old Office. If I'd gone across to the island, it would have been better. Of course everyone likes 80s music, and I was only slightly surprised to find that young people still like 80s music. Back in the day, I was surprised to learn that I liked 80s music I did not knowSun, 05 Jul 2026 02:47:04 +0000I reckon 2/3s are weirdos. Same on here.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:46:56 +0000Yep And getting on with your neighbours helps.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:46:42 +0000Those things look silly on farangs.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:45:31 +0000Putting aside the fact Hezbollah was founded in direct opposition to an Israeli invasion of Lebanon, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone deny that the Germans, Italians and Japanese who fought the allies in defense of their own homeland were not patriots. Allied force veterans of that war frequently spoke of their respect for these fighters. Equating the mixed motives of U.S. forces in WW2 to the Israeli invasion and land grab within Lebanon is a strange one. Israel is not seeking to ‘liberate’ Lebanon, it’s engaged in an expansionist war in furtherance of the ‘Greater Israel’ project. I like that other WW2 analogy, the French Resistance fighters in Vichy France who fought the invading Nazis despite being hunted by and turned over to the Nazis by their own collaborating Government.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:45:30 +0000Imagine finishing law school, passing the bar exam, then finding out you’re going to have to clerk for this drunkard TV personally.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:45:04 +0000Indeed, certainly alot of diversions , denials and whacked out Foreign women apologists around here.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:44:35 +0000Where is this temple?Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:44:22 +0000I used to love watching the Hawks in the Dermie and Dunstall days. Plus, I've always been a massive David Parkin fan. Just not a fan of Sam Mitchell. The Hawks have also got a lot of knobs playing for them.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:44:04 +0000Try to find one of their replies that isn't an assumption, insult or lies. I can imagine how they are in person, antisocial and all alone in their own little worlds.Look at how they stick up for each other against one, then degrade each other when there's no one left to abuse.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:43:55 +0000Technically, you are guilty of theft if you do not return it. In reality they would probably thank you.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:42:41 +0000There’s a couple other farangs living within a few km’s of our place in lampang and run into them every now and then at a local shop, say hi and they don’t know what to do with it and cower back with a “leave me alone vibe”, frik’n weird. So 66% of the farangs there are antisocial misfits and probably only mumble to their spouse. Apparently one is Norwegian and the other Australian says the wife. English speaking farangs in cm are typically quite friendly for the most part, say hi and it’s reciprocated and every now and then my ears get nailed down by someone who is socially starved and wants to converse with another English speaker which I’m always open to.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:42:21 +0000Not exactly true. If the nominees are just on paper, and have no real funds to have owned the business then it's clearly fake. Nonsense, what I posted was exactly true because I referenced legitimate companies with legitimate shareholders.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:41:45 +0000Pretty much, but from all the obviously AI-assisted comments increasingly being posted across many different threads on this forum, maybe teachers will need to start looking over their shoulders? A lot of very good educational and instructional materials are available online, posted by humanoids and AI-enhanced web searches make them easier to find. Personally, I have deprived computer technicians and car mechanics of income by watching a few YouTubes and installing, replacing, repairing and servicing things by myself. I also deprive the computer shops and dealerships of work and income by buying the stuff I need online.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:39:57 +0000You just go to Soi 6 cause you can't get a gf. Too ugly.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:38:18 +0000Sure you do Rocky.. Download.mp4Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:38:16 +0000I have seen them planting as close to the land border as possible go to extremes here, one farmer that had the main highway(Surat Thani to Krabi) running through next to his border dug out the angled base support for the road running through a gully so it was perpendicular to the road to plant 1 rubber tree. Needless to say the road ended up collapsing and one lane was blocked off while they reinforced the base for some time, have also seen where they have built their house right along the road then put up a veranda that actually over hung the road, seems they think if they own the land they can use all of it to the extreme and ignore the laws.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:37:37 +0000You need to get out more.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:37:18 +0000So...when exactly are you leaving and how much do you provide to your 'real girlfriend' on average, on a monthly basis? Nothing but the truth, fredwordy.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:37:10 +0000You are so correct Marin, RockyRoad has never ever been to Thaialnd, all the idiots info is copied from Chat GPT. He is a clown .Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:36:37 +0000Do you also have a Buddha tattoo? If so, you are more Thai than him as well. 😂Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:36:34 +0000Then, Why don't I receive abuse from the Thai's.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:36:21 +0000You lie all the time. Claimed your burnt cds are worth 500k when it is illegal to sell them.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:36:12 +0000??? That is extremely high - on what basis have you calculated that?? That is true and will remain true if the LTR conditions are confirmed in the new Thai taxation system. I have a feeling that it will not be confirmed - could be wrong - could be right. My reasoning is that the new Govt will not support foreign people 'buying' the ability to avoid paying taxes in Thailand. Because the LTR is managed by the BOI, and not the Dept Foreign Affairs or Immigration Office, they have been 'giving away' the ability to avoid paying income taxes. That was not what the LTR was supposed to be and I think changes will be made. Hopefully those already with an LTR Visa will keep their exemptions for their current validity period, but I expect the taxation exemption to be changed and/or cancelled. Can you imagine the outrage when/if the matter hits social media - foreigners have bought a Visa and they pay no income taxes?Sun, 05 Jul 2026 02:36:10 +0000
