Dick Cheney Will Also Vote For Harris
Anyone but Trump. However his pic of JD Vance as VP was a wet dream for most Democrats, he's now running at a negative 6% in polling, and I think it's only going to get worse. The man is an empty suit, he has zero charisma, and very little to say. Picking him was a monumental mistake by Trump, and listening to anything that his offspring has to say is always going to backfire. They are all subpar intellects, just like he is. From the NY Post, a Murdoch owner paper, and a conservative one. It would appear they are losing faith in Don and Vance. A warning to Donald Trump and JD Vance: Tread carefully when it comes to women, including Vice President Kamala Harris. All signs point to a tight race in November, and the GOP ticket is already behind with women: In five battleground states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Harris leads by 9 points or more with the ladies. Closing that gap may be an uphill battle. Even if Trump were ahead, it would be foolish to ignore the power of women voters: About 7.4 million more women than men were registered to vote in 2022, according to the Center for American Women in Politics, and more women than men have voted in every presidential election since 1964. Besides, the chance to vote for a woman who feels like a relative newcomer will almost certainly attract female voters who sat out other elections (or even some of those who pulled the lever for Trump in 2016 because they couldn’t stomach the alternative). Sure, there are plenty of women who want what Trump and Vance are selling: school choice, parental rights, a better economy, safer neighborhoods and a more secure border. But this is a different political landscape than 2016, and both Trump and Vance need to keep on the straight and narrow to avoid alienating female voters who might otherwise agree with them on policy. Maybe Trump should start by quitting hurling derogatory nicknames and ad hominem insults at his foes. He can ding Kamala on policy without making crass comments or veering into petty pot shots about her looks or gender that might make women balk. He and his running mate must certainly avoid missteps like the one Vance made in 2021, when he blasted “childless cat ladies” who run the country but are “miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made.” He also foolishly suggested penalizing women without kids with higher taxes. For real? Vance’s comments resurfaced recently and spread like wildfire on social media, drawing backlash from even conservative women. Trump and Vance need to reassure women that they take them seriously as a voting bloc, and they have no interest in pushing national policy that controls women’s decisions on family matters. The GOP ticket knows women will play a major role in deciding this election — perhaps they should start acting like it. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
You did ask and as I have a recently broken ankle and need to rest up I have time to do more research and respond in detail. So, in short most probably and these also provide baubies to his tame oligarchs who are denied acess to their western assetss that they loved so much. For those who don't understand what this is about. There are two mechanisms of protection against withdrawal of capital from the country by Western companies: The first is the mechanism of introducing temporary management of foreign assets in Russia, which allows companies registered in NATO countries to be transferred under the management of Rosimushchestvo (a state-owned company that manages Russian property). The owner in this case remains the same, but is deprived of the right to influence the company in any way. Also, if these companies want to sell them, the sale price is limited to 50% of the stock exchange value. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Agency_for_State_Property_Management The second decree on Economically Significant Companies (EZO), these are companies that are important for the security of the country, for example, large car manufacturers or large agricultural firms, if in the structure of their owners there are companies from NATO countries or offshore zones, the remaining shareholders can deprive them of their corporate rights through the court. https://denuo.legal/en/insights/news/240305/ -

Only a few months ago I tried to get a residence certificate only to told my registered address was some hotel I'd stayed in months ago put of province. Had to go to the main IO to update. Where I got told off for not doing it on my return. A real pain. This was Phuket. -

Trump Backs Elon Musk's Plan to Slash Government Spending
This is very rich coming from a man who raised the national deficit by $7 trillion. He would say or do anything at this point to get elected. His level of desperation is reaching epic and historic proportions. I am having so much fun watching him and Vance meltdown before our very eyes. And I'm sure much of his desperation is driven by the knowledge that he will very possibly be spending some time in prison, if he doesn't get elected. Lock him up. -

Whenever I see the word patriot or its derivatives used in a post, it reminds me of Dr. Samuel Johnson's apothegm: "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel".- 1

You really should know your own world better... Fox, OAN, NewsMax and others, including Nexstar. Nexstar's NewsNation is just another right-wing cable network The network, host of the next GOP primary debate, spreads racist tropes, promotes anti-immigrant hate, and defends men reported for sexual misconduct 11/21/23 https://www.mediamatters.org/cable-news/nexstars-newsnation-just-another-right-wing-cable-network Nexstar's NewsNation Faces Turmoil, Staff Departures Amid Conservative Bias Concerns Mar 9, 2021 Nexstar‘s NewsNation channel is in turmoil as it faces staff defections amid concerns that the outlet is being pushed by management to lean to the right in its news coverage. The simmering controversy for the channel previously known as WGN America gained steam on Tuesday when Nexstar confirmed that Jennifer Lyons, the WGN-TV Chicago news veteran who led the launch of the primetime “NewsNation” block last September, has resigned her post as VP of news. That follows several lower-level departures last week that appear to have been prompted by concerns that former Fox News executive Bill Shine is leading a charge to steer the channel to the right. Shine is a consultant to Nexstar and NewsNation but does not have a formal role at the company. https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/newsnation-jennifer-lyon-nexstar-bias-1234926851/ Nexstar Media Group, Inc. is an American publicly traded media company with headquarters in Irving, Texas, Midtown Manhattan, and Chicago. The company is the largest television station owner in the United States, owning 197 television stations across the U.S., most of which are affiliated with the four "major" U.S. television networks and MyNetworkTV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexstar_Media_Group and No. 2 rank U.S. television station owner Sinclair Broadcast Group as well: Sinclair, Inc., doing business as Sinclair Broadcast Group, is a publicly traded American telecommunications conglomerate... the company is the second-largest television station operator in the United States by number of stations, after Nexstar Media Group, owning or operating 193 stations across the country in over 100 markets, covering 40% of American households. ... "A 2019 study in the American Political Science Review found that "stations bought by Sinclair reduce coverage of local politics, increase national coverage and move the ideological tone of coverage in a conservative direction relative to other stations operating in the same market".[4][5] The company has been criticized by journalists and media analysts for requiring its stations to broadcast packaged video segments and its news anchors to read prepared scripts that contain pro-Trump editorial content, including warnings about purported "fake news" in mainstream media, while Trump has tweeted support for watching Sinclair over CNN and NBC." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_Broadcast_Group -

I wonder if they feel embarrassed when they rail against Iran and Co sending weapons to Russia? As with all wars, war technology is being updated with every battle and it must surely not have passed un noticed that Iranian, Nth Korea and China are improving their weapons, and the only possible use for them IMO will be against the US and whichever western nations are foolish enough to go poodle like into yet another interminable Middle East war. -

Petrol Station Scam in Bang Rakam Caught on Video, Goes Viral
It's quite probable the rules were evolved in a time when there was more risk. For example, cars had generators, not alternators. It's a given attendants sometimes overfill vehicles. Most of the time, the vapor dissipates harmlessly. The culture here seems to be one of not following some rules. Which makes the sight of Thais dutifully wearing masks, on scooters without helmets, quite comical. It took me three months of nagging to persuade my GF to wear a helmet. Now she does it automatically. I am probably much more risk averse than you. That comes from working in a profession for many years, with chemicals that were so dangerous a single moment of carelessness could result in serious injury or death. I'm still here, i know several who are not. Thanks for keeping the discussion intelligent... I agree - the rules are a legacy of when cars were less intrinsically safe. I also agree, there is an element of risk with keeping the engine running, but on the balance of risks there is greater risk of another car driving into me while I'm parked at the pump. I also agree, the culture here is not following rules - the mask rule highlighted what an enigma Thailand is - can't get folk to wear helmets, they face mask wearing was nearly at 100%... My profession too has a load of safety legislation and policy - much of it is based around he lowest common denominator... the 1 in a million chance and is driven my insurance and management ensuring anything that happens cannot come back on them. I took have worked in environments where the risks are high (H2S) and carelessness can cause death - in situations where IF I take of a BA set, I'm dead within minutes... So, I'm well versed in risk analysis and aware of necessary precautions etc - I don't see the 'leaving the engine running' a risk (not even a slight risk) and thats because I understand what is and can happen. -

This does not work because we all know that Mr. Lavrov does not want to target nuclear weapons at New York where his daughter lives. Neither does Peskov want to target nukes on Paris where his daughter lives. But this cannot work forever. At a certain moment of time the elite will be washed out by ordinary people wanting to survive.
