Amazing Thailand!

Not much to this story...no identification.

On the Sunday morning sidewalk

Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned

'Cause there's something in a Sunday

Makes a body feel alone

There ain't nothin' short of dyin'

Half as lonesome as the sound

On the sleepin' city sidewalks

Sunday mornin' comin' down

Sunday morning, coming down ~ Kris Kristofferson.

There's truth to the old adage 'Let sleeping dogs lie'

Impossible, as MAGA nuts follow their Messiah, and are drug & alcohol free. Had to be a lefty.

"Police are investigating further to assess the man's identity and any underlying issues that may have contributed to his actions."

Huh, don't know about his identity but his issues don't seem to be "underlying".

He would seem to be a drunken jerk.

I was making a joke but how about the MAGA pedophile pastor Robert Morris, kinda guy an Epstein Trump person would take to. 12 year old girl he abused!

Gateway Church was founded by Morris in 2000. He has been politically active and formerly served on President Donald Trump’s evangelical advisory board. The church hosted Trump on its Dallas campus in 2020 for a discussion on race relations and the economy.
