Trump Begins Intelligence Briefings Ahead of Return to White House
I'm not so sure that any of his supporters are imbued with the capacity for self reflection. He will be a disaster but they will never acknowledge it. In the UK Brexit has been a disaster but all the clowns that wanted it have simply doubled down on their own stupidity. Few will actually admit that the outcome has been poor. -

Aussie teen dies in Bangkok after Laos poisoning, 4 dead
And once again, the nasty old blowhards are out in full force to blame the victims. Methanol is a common event in South Asia. This has been reported on and documented. For example, Giovanetti F. Methanol poisoning among travellers to Indonesia. Travel Med Infect Dis. 2013;11(3):190–193. doi: 10.1016/j.tmaid.2013.03.013. Westerners who come from countries where there is regulation and a degree of quality assurance do not appreciate that South Asia is the region where anything can go, and where alcohol that is dispensed from a name brand brand bottle can be bootleg counterfeit and deadly. The extent of poisoning is intentionally suppressed as it would destroy the tourist trade in many regions. The intent may not be to poison or to kill. Unfortunately, like all counterfeit products in Asia, the goal is to make a quick profit. The suppliers of the products have no care for product quality or assurance. That comment is more appropriate for a judgemental person who ridicules without knowing the extent of the problem , nor the manner in which it occurs. The kids who were poisoned were typical of their age group. To call them morons , aside from being heartless and cruel says alot about you. To all those criticizing the victims, why not look at your own local bars and see if you can determine if the liquor dispensed is bonafide. Don't be so arrogant to believe that some operators don't substitute counterfeit versions.I can think of one bar that had the same vodka bottle on its shelf for years. The owner would refill it from a plastic bottle. -

Trump Begins Intelligence Briefings Ahead of Return to White House
Jordan Peterson is another Russia shill and a complete phoney. If you want to know how smart Trump is listen to the people who work with him or taught him. Professor William T. Kelley of Wharton: "Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had" -

UK Tax Return when resident in Thailand - How to?
I personally use the free UK one with my Thai address, and no-one at HMRC has ever batted an eyelid! Whether you can do likewise, though, will depend on your particular circumstances. For example, it would become an issue should you ever sell your UK property, because CGT is calculated from a rebasement date of 6 April 2015 in the case of non-residents, but from a (presumably earlier) purchase date in the case of residents. I filed a paper return when this became an issue for me following the sale of my UK property 3 years ago. Another potential problematical area which I have identified is if HMRC were to revive a proposal floated 10 years ago to abolish the personal tax-free allowance for non-residents - which, thankfully, was subsequently booted into the long grass. As far as I am concerned, though, this is a bridge to be crossed if and when we get to it. -

Why do they waste their time with this posturing, he's never going to be arrested nor is Putin. How about arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas, they ones not dead yet? -

RFK Jr. compared Trump to Hitler and his fans idiots
I like this RFK Jr. before he sold his soul for power. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/21/politics/kfile-rfk-jr-trump-critique/index.html RFK Jr. compared Trump to Hitler and praised descriptions of his supporters as ‘Nazis’ Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of Health and Human Services, has a long history of scathing critiques against Trump, labeling him a “threat to democracy,” a “bully,” and, as recently as July, a “terrible president.” But Kennedy’s harshest attacks date back to Trump’s rise in 2016, when on his radio show “Ring of Fire,” Kennedy applauded descriptions of Trump’s base as “belligerent idiots” and suggestions that some were “outright Nazis” and “spineless fellow travelers.” Kennedy also likened Trump to historical demagogues like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, accusing Trump of exploiting societal insecurities and xenophobia to amass power.
