Video shows Project 2025 co-author discussing his secret work for a second Trump term
Why does no one on the left actually want to discuss Project 2025? It's probably becasuse (like everything else) know nothing about it. I wonder what it's like to not be able to formulate an argument and be relegated to having to regurgitate party talking points and post links. -

Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
I'm not 18. I'm 67 and have already been married more than twice, so I know what marriage entails. Marriage is a union of two people , hopefully sharing the same future plans, honesty, loyalty and non abusive, if it's going to last. Most marriages fail from unrealistic expectations or damaged people, or both. Sex , frequently, is an indication of how the marriage is going, at least as far as chemistry is concerned, and not having too many arguments.If you listen to your woman the right way, she will respond with what you need, unless she is damaged from childhood or previous relationships and can't extract her thinking from them. Providing is one thing that's necessary, and as long as your wife isn't greedy, the money doesn't matter if it pays the bills, keeps food on the table, and there's extra for time off, especially together. People thinking marriage is about sex are the delusional ones, as it's just one thing, and it won't hold a marriage together if it doesn't have the main thing available, communication. -

Oh Beloved Bangkok, How So You Have Changed...
Agree with that. It used to be no holds barred in Bangkok and Pattaya from naked on stage to blow jobs at the bar. There was also all the outrageous shows they used to do. Ping-pong,darts, etc It was a laugh at the time. Also, I think there used to be far more interesting characters floating around than there are now. It has become sterile. Khao San road has all but vanished, a shadow of its former self. Taxi meters didn't exist, the roads were jammed with tuk tuks. Even the outside counter top bars used to be fun, now they are manned by miserable middle-aged women who just want to watch TV and expect tipping for a beer. -

Oh Beloved Bangkok, How So You Have Changed...
You are almost correct...1976 the tallest buildings over 6 stories were the CHOKCHAI blkd on Sukumvit and the Dusit Thani hotel and then in the late 70's they started to let some other bldgs grow. Standing on the roof of the US embassy in those days one could look out over the entire city as most were only 2 stories high and I think the embassy was 3 stories but not positive. Of course that has jumped to the other side of Wireless Road and is much higher these days and a solid fortress. I remember how bad the traffic was in those days, and especially during the rainy season, where some youngsters would have a small boat at major intersections to row people from one side to the other. Now it still floods but waters do flow away down more better drainage in many places. The big thing I really see and that has a big impact on me is the train system now within the city. I retired in Bangkok, having lived in the early 70 right behind the Embassy where Iworked. after I retired, I moved further out of the city but spent many hours fighting traffic for different reasons, not pleasure. It finally got to the point that I told my wife to find an adequate school for our daughter and after being there for ten years, we moved to Chiang Mai. Then when our daughter began college at Chulalongkorn in BKK we leased a condo for her near the college and since we had two Siberian Huskies, we leased a house in Prawet district. Not having to drive but able to jump all around the city very rapidly, is fantastic to say the least! I have been amazed. When we want to go back to CM for a visit to check on our house, we hop he express train to the Airport and then right to CM. We go to visit our daughter downtown regularly and she spends weekends with in Prawet distric. Cheap and easy trip. Never having to drive again in Bangkok to me is the biggest positive difference that I see from 1972, 1976-1979, 1997-2000, 2002-2014 . I still love the country and now like Bangkok even more than I did before. Best of luck to all with the new government...will she last ? -

Trump’s nephew insists former president is showing signs of ‘dementia’ like his grandfather
Thank you, Republican voters. And, thank you, Fred Trump. We know Donald's totally wacko but doesn't hurt to hear we are right from a family member. -

What’s your favorite beach in Phuket that’s not overrun with tourists?
Ao Sane Beach - near Nai Harn, perfect for snorkelling and relaxation. Laem Ka Beach - A small, peaceful beach on the east coast, great for a quiet day out. Banana Beach - Tucked away between Bang Tao and Nai Thon. Freedom Beach - Accessible by boat or a hike, this secluded spot has crystal-clear waters and fewer tourists. Yanui Beach - A small, charming beach near Promthep Cape, popular with locals for its tranquillity. -

Obviously you never heard her speak, she’s incapable of thinking of anything rational before she flaps her crackling jaw. -

I don't admire Harris or Biden, but I am not aware of any plans to hang them, neither would I support such a call. -
