And to add to his confused mental state....... Trump in the last 24 hours... Forgot who accompanied him to the event at which he fell asleep, said Obama wrote the Epstein files, made up a story about his uncle teaching the Unabomber, forgot he hired Jerome Powell.

But very close friends, nontheless.......

But here they are.......... Jack Posobiec, a far-right political activist, carries a binder labelled 'The Epstein Files: Phase 1' as he exits the White House in Washington, on February 27.

I downloaded and watched a movie called "The Order" starring Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult and although I'd seen it before I can't remember too much about it, so I'm pleased that I watched it again. Watching it again made me realise it's significance with regards to what's going on in the US at the moment, and also the mention of the "Turner Diaries" was intriguing in the same way. If you haven't watched it, then I can recommend it.

That will never happen and already his mental faculties are on a downward spiral, so not long before he becomes a complete idiot!

OOPS, nearly forgot this regarding the above post:- https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/he-didnt-fool-me-how-trump-changed-his-tone-on-putin-and-the-war-in-ukraine/TSNQZLRCQFBGTPWGJYCRFFZLWY/

But in stark contrast to this and since his 2016 election Trump has been praising Putin on and off over the years and here is a sound bite or two regarding the lovely things that Trump has said about Putin: – – When Russia was preparing to invade Ukraine in 2022, Trump called Putin a “genius” for moving to seize large swathes of territory — applauding what he viewed as hard-line negotiation tactics. AND....“How smart is that? And he’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper,” Trump said, adding: “Here’s a guy who’s very savvy. I know him very well". As Putin's army slaughtered civilians in the Ukraine suburb and abducted Ukrainian children to Russia, Trump called such actions terrible, but stressed that he got along with him really well – – yeah right! – Trump also said that although he got along well with Putin, "I'm not happy with Pres Putin at all", Trump said on July 7. And now the absolutely stupendous piece of nonsense and rubbish that beats even what Trump has said previously (apart from stopping the war in 24 hours) when he said, "the Russian president has been duplicitous and he has fooled a lot of people. He fooled Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden, but Trump said "he didn't fool me". LOL..... And Trump said he would be an exception to what he sees as the list of American presidents whom the Russian leader had outmanoeuvred. Laugh, I couldn't stop. You poor demented soul Donnie, he's been playing with you and fooling you since way back in 2016 and despite all of the Trump threats and words, Putin has done exactly what he wanted to do and poor old Donnie has been helplessly watching from the sidelines. The art of the deal my derrière! Trump is not the sharpest knife in the drawer by any means, but he has a lot of supporters and others with lack of similar mental sharpness........

I haven't been following this thread, however my thoughts turned to the possibility that one of the pilots deliberately disengaged the fuel switches, because of depression or mental problems (suicidal) and so I thought I would post this here: – "When NDTV asked if one of the pilots intentionally switched off the fuel, fully aware that doing so could cause a crash, Captain Ranganathan said, "Absolutely." "It has to be manually done," Captain Ranganathan told NDTV when asked if there is any way fuel can be shut off to the engines of the Dreamliner. "It cannot be done automatically or due to a power failure because the fuel selectors are not the sliding type. They are designed to stay in a slot, and you have to pull them out to move them up or down. So, the possibility of inadvertently moving them to the "off" position doesn't arise. It's definitely a case of deliberate manual selection to move it to 'off'." https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/air-india-plane-crash-report-aviation-expert-flags-pilot-suicide-angle-amid-air-india-crash-probe-8864239

Yes!

Hi Pinot, I recently started a thread regarding health insurance as mine is due for renewal this month and the premium was very high! So I negotiated a 50 K deductible (which I would pay) and they dropped the premium to 160,000 baht, which I think is still quite high, however of course if I changed to another health insurance company, any ailments that had occurred in recent times would have to be disclosed, whereas at the moment they are somewhat "covered" by my current insurance. I investigated the self-insure method and will be doing that next year when it comes up for renewal again. I am with Alliance (formerly BUPA) and have never had a claim although they did pay for a colonoscopy a few years back, which was unexpected. Just to add that my total amount of health insurance is topped at 1 million baht, so all in all it's not a brilliant arrangement at the moment, however as I said, I'm pretty sure I will self-insure next year. PS.Have you thought about this......https://www.allianz.co.th/en_TH/health/critical-illness.html

I agree, and it would seem like he is lying, upon lying because he's forgotten the lies he previously told, but then again it would seem par for course for this bunch of lying MAGAs!

So before Trump was elected, both Patel and Bongino spent years stoking conspiracy-minded theories about Epstein, now they are part of Trump's clown circus, they have completely changed their tune!! I wonder why?? Read on for more info on this........ Before their appointments to their current roles, Patel and Bongino spent years stoking conspiracy-minded questions about Epstein. Patel, a former federal prosecutor and assistant public defender, made his name in conservative media as a bombastic and frequent podcast guest and repeatedly called for the FBI to release its full file on Epstein. During a 2023 interview with right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson, Patel suggested Congress was blocking the release of Epstein’s purported client list “because of who’s on that list”. “Put on your big-boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are,” he said. Bongino, on his own podcast, had repeatedly questioned the handling of the Epstein investigation. “What the hell are they hiding with Jeffrey Epstein?” he asked in 2023. Conservative influencers seized on a February interview on Fox News in which Bondi said she had Epstein’s client list “sitting on my desk right now to review” – a list that the Justice Department now says did not exist!!!!!!! https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/jeffrey-epstein-case-memo-divides-donald-trump-appointees-fuels-conspiracy-theories/WT4ZPSIF6FGDDBZV2KLNP5ER5Y/ Someone is telling "porkies" and it would most likely be from the clowns of the "Liar in Chief".

Nice try, but he specifically said, They say they will not be blowing up ships any more, can't be much clearer than that!

Read trump's statement again:- They say they will not be blowing up ships any more". He did NOT specify which nationality, but then again he often talks gibberish. By the way, nice try at deflection with your response.

That's a good decision @transam and I feel exactly the same about that poster which is why I've put him on ignore, although I did wonder why you persevered for so long in trying to combat his madness. Particularly his assertion that there is no such thing as a virus or a bacteria and that the body is able to deal with such things on its own, without help, despite following statistics that would prove him wrong: – – The 1918 flu pandemic killed around 50 million people worldwide. – The bubonic plague killed an estimated 200 million people. – Smallpox killed around 1 billion people, so it's lucky it was just about wiped out by vaccinations. – Tuberculosis has been responsible for over 1 billion deaths, but again due to vaccinations it's only prevalent in a few poor countries worldwide. – Malaria has killed an estimated 5 billion people. –Before widespread vaccination, polio killed hundreds of thousands annually. Today, polio is largely eradicated, with only two countries remaining endemic for the wild poliovirus. So this really puts his "theory" to bed because the body was unable to fight off the diseases listed above, on its own, and vaccinations and antibiotics in some cases reduced the mortality rate markedly, in some cases down to almost zero. As you can see he is not worth bothering with and I doubt if he will see this post because he won't want to.
