From what has been found, Trump and his campaign only 'welcomed' the interference.

Only the tourists do not know.  This is the same for rickshaws in HongKong, by the way. Some tourists think that one can actually ask some old guy to pull them in a rickshaw....but....  Actually, of course, the rickshaws that you might have seen, but probably not now, in HK and Macao were for photo-ops only, at a price.  The old guys with rickshaws probably could not even move them an inch, if they tried. Most of the old guys look like they might need to be pushed in wheelchairs, themselves.    These days are GONE.....</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/image.png.aae8a71898e2e9f310ff06e7c854d59d.png" length="325152" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 18:22:31 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit Loses Visa After Phuket Tuk Tuk Assault</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398012-brit-loses-visa-after-phuket-tuk-tuk-assault/?do=findComment&comment=20583480]]></link><description>They're more a novelty thing, for tourism really.

Anyway see the case of Danny Masterson here in the U.S. There are consequences. For drugging and raping two women he's in prison 30 years to life.  As far as AdolfZ's post, many of the "vulnerable hookers" are poor uneducated Isaan girls looking to better their lives, and as an avenue to that, that's all they've got. Old white men hiring them for sex is not abuse, it's called prostitution, it's a transaction and certainly is different than drugging and raping women.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 18:13:38 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit Loses Visa After Phuket Tuk Tuk Assault</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398012-brit-loses-visa-after-phuket-tuk-tuk-assault/?do=findComment&comment=20583477]]></link><description>Yes. I once had a rather world famous Linguistics professor who helped me to understand the great importance of showing respect to others.  His gift to me was to teach me by example the meaning of respect for others, in almost every situation.  When one respects others, then one reaps respect in return.  I do not know why mikik issued me a Question-Mark Emoji, but....still.... I respect his freedom to do so.  We are far happier individuals when we show and express respect for others, almost unconditionally.  (I am not talking about turning the other cheek, by the way. I never show my rear-end to anyone but my GF.)</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 18:13:23 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Miserable expats</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398039-miserable-expats/?do=findComment&comment=20583476]]></link><description>Even an idiot could foresee the ending.

In another 50 years, the entire world will be very old.    This is why my fellow alum, Elon, is so worried that the world will...  Go out with a WHIMPER and NOT a Bang......  We will be destroyed by lack of fertility, rather than by Elon's Robots.    Projections for sperm count, average, by the year 2080?  If not considering the amount of sperm in Pattaya?    So, by the year 2080, ......  If current historical trends persist, the median global sperm count could fall to functionally zero by 2045, meaning that by 2080, the vast majority of males may require medical intervention to conceive.  No worries, though....  Elon has saved enough sperm to repopulate the world, ten times over, and he has stored it in a cryo vault in Norway.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_07/image.png.772e8b395bd7e7ca7a52e83eb2959b45.png" length="224582" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 17:45:18 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>in view of US 250  how do you look at history?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398046-in-view-of-us-250-how-do-you-look-at-history/?do=findComment&comment=20583468]]></link><description/><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 17:44:24 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Extreme Heatwave Disrupts Fourth of July Celebrations</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397996-extreme-heatwave-disrupts-fourth-of-july-celebrations/?do=findComment&comment=20583467]]></link><description>Not if you look at the numbers its not.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 17:37:40 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What will the world be like in 50 years</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1398049-what-will-the-world-be-like-in-50-years/?do=findComment&comment=20583466]]></link><description>Georjetta, girlfriend, I am relieved you have finally settled this for all of us.  The year is 2126.  Rainbow flags have become part of the national dress code.  Punjabi dance competitions are now an Olympic sport.  Story hour is hosted exclusively by glamorous transsexual librarians.  Every cultural festival has merged into one enormous celebration that never ends.  And the rest of us have long since departed this planet.  But somehow the ghost of Georgenatalia is still wandering around in a high viz vest, clipboard under one arm, counting Smile dental clinics, interviewing random blokes about why they abandoned their wives for a life in Pattaya, and assuring everyone your statistics will one day be worth millions to some unsuspecting government department.  Some things never change, darl.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2026 17:34:14 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Is Humanity a Scourge Upon the Land?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397984-is-humanity-a-scourge-upon-the-land/?do=findComment&comment=20583465]]></link><description>Monkeys typing, here...
