Even those dead would have had the sense to laugh at this current absurdity. The drunkard Jeanine Pirro, fresh off a series of abject failures trying to prosecute anybody, is now going after the "vandals" re the Reflecting Pool incompetence and corruption. This is a new wrinkle on Fascism: prosecuting people to salve the ego of a petulant child, aka Trump. The Onion on its best day couldn't come up with anything sillier, though this absurdity comes with the threat of jail time. How the US has fallen! The Marianas Trench is a Himalayan peak relative to how low the US has sunk under the Carnival People of Trumpistan. Yahoo News‘This Is Madness!’ Chris Hayes Loses It After Jeanine Pir..."No one's dumping things in the Reflecting Pool to grow algae!"Wed, 24 Jun 2026 01:11:10 +0000It didn't work in Australia, it is being implemented in the UK soon, it won't work there either and it certainly won't work in Thailand, where the kids are totally hooked on Tick Tock and Facebook, to name just two?Wed, 24 Jun 2026 01:10:29 +0000Wed, 24 Jun 2026 01:10:01 +0000"involved in similar confrontations on several previous occasions'... just a week in a Thai prison should reset his anger management problems..Wed, 24 Jun 2026 01:07:00 +0000There are cheaper options. But Bangkok is also the easiest place in thailand to blow your budget, which I'm sure many expats are doing.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 01:06:59 +0000While this is abhorrent !! What can be done Nothing !! The UN and ICC are toothless, All they can do is issue warrants but that has not done anything so far !! The world does not have an all encompassing Police force! abate the Americans think they are !!Wed, 24 Jun 2026 01:04:46 +0000The day a Thai politician stands for election on a policy of ‘all immigrants out’, draws closer.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 01:02:14 +0000.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:59:41 +0000I came here a couple of decades ago on an adventure around Asia.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:59:28 +0000Not sure what the crisper is all about, but if referring to the self driving auto lane assist and such features. they are kind of useless in TH. As rely on things being uniformly painted and built, road placement, for the vehicle to judge distances. Which means, they are annoying as hell at best, unreliable and dangerous at worse, to leave on for any type of self driving. So paying extra for something you can't really use. First feature we disabled with our MG ZS, as would be dangerous to use lane assist w/cruise control, which puts the car in almost self drive, but pretty sure somewhere down the line, you'd be a nervous wreck and have a crash or major auto stop, and probably get rear ended ... and not in a good way.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:58:23 +0000oh, how often it is that the person accusing another of being fooled..... is in fact the one fitting the quote you post . Billions were fooled into "believing the science" ... the science that Fauci and company forced upon the populace and basically forced all to follow... or else. The ones who were NOT fooled..... just a small minority..... are alive and well and have been proven to have been right . Those who were fooled. Still won't admit it . They never do . My neighbor, ten years younger than me and previously healthy and fit .... strongly disagreed when I tried to warn him of the dangers 4 years ago. He is now another statistic (still denied by those YET unaffected ) ...... as he has just developed severe symptoms of myocarditis . It seems obvious that you , as well, suffer greatly from accusing others of what i see so clearly ....... a severe case of iamrightitis .Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:57:01 +0000.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:55:15 +0000.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:54:56 +0000.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:53:43 +0000another Brit misbehaving and not the first time !

Not a cheap hospital for sure but I'd think 840k wouldn't go far anywhere these days.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:51:04 +0000Good post ! And very true ! he is just a hatchet and bean counter man!!Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:51:01 +0000I'm a retired university professor, but I began teaching at age 15. I taught my first group class (It was a beginner skiing class at Belleayre Mountain, NY) and never looked back. I have been a teacher of one thing or another (from sports to academics) ever since. I'll be 80 in a few months, and I still teach Academic and Business English online. If I didn't need a work permit, I'd still be teaching sports, too. The idea that one needs to stop working just because of some arbitrary chronological decision is absurd. I can still run up six flights of stairs without huffing and puffing, and my brain works just fine. Can you give one good reason to stop enjoying my life and take up residence in the rocking chair on the porch?Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:48:59 +0000Not a surprise, it must be hard for you to grasp basic concepts in life to begin with.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:48:34 +0000I'm shocked.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:47:45 +0000Could you please try one more time? I have no idea what this says.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:47:38 +0000No it is not you are refering to an Artical "as per" the article What !! Artical !!! this is off topic !! so it will end !Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:47:03 +0000This position is not one for which being "a businessman" qualifies one to do. He is way over his head, and will do the exact same type of damage DOGE did. DOGE did NOT save money. Per AI: "Assessments of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are divided, with DOGE claiming to have generated over $55 billion to $160 billion in savings, while independent watchdogs, economists, and congressional investigations argue its actions ultimately cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars." Not to mention the lives of innocent children who died because of cuts to humanitarian efforts. Now we're entering stage two of seriously stupid actions.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:45:59 +0000This is Thailand. Once the news dies down and the next scandal breaks in the morning news, things will be back to normal (possibly with a few changes like Chinese no longer eligible).Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:44:53 +0000
