So do you just go to the local clinic, say, I need a cannabis prescription, they say why, and you say because I am nervous around people and it makes me relax, bing bam boom, done, pay doctor fee? For any followers of the show Entourage, there is a hugely funny bit, where Johnny wants a hat from a dispensary because it's "dope". Funny play on words. Goes to the Dr., Dr. asks why and Johnny is all, "I have lung problems" (bad answer), couple more incorrect funnies before the Dr. starts leading him, "do you ever feel anxious?" "Anxiety problems....." catch that if you can, the episode is a riot.

That's right because here in CA they provide a ton of the labor that we need to be the 4th largest GDP in the world. The Orange Man said he would deport rapists (he should probably self deport on that one), drug dealers, criminals. But only 1% so far have been criminals. Elect a clown expect a circus. Back to you Medicaid/Medicare matter, Medicaid serves the low income individuals, so 12 million of our poorest are not going to have any health coverage while the richest get tax breaks to become more wealthy. Republican ethics, one of those shortest books ever written. But I do wonder how many of those people who are losing their health coverage voted for the King of Grifters.................I'm sure they regret that along with the Latino population.

You're wrong. See first bullet here, 12 million people. https://www.axios.com/2025/07/08/medicaid-cuts-states Sure it's best we give tax breaks to the ultra rich (gee wonder how much of a tax break the King of Grifters gave himself) than helping our hospitals pay for the poorest people in our nation.

WHOOOHOOOHAHAHA !! If that isn't calling the kettle black.............Trump lies every time he speaks. Said on the campaign trail he wouldn't cut Medicare and what does he do? It's not a lie to quote a Maga minions exact words, so you need to wake up and smell the roses Moses.

Hallelujah. Thaksin money grab isn't happening, raped the country already, lets not let him do it again. Casinos would involve some serious Chinese mobsters, and for the Thai public, would not be good at all.

Disagree with your first, agree with 2nd and 3rd. I cut my holiday there short, I'm sure others do too. Modest hotel $75US a night, forget it, back to the Philippines where I was getting 55PHP to the dollar, instead of 32ThB. Was there in 1997/98. 55thb to the dollar. Those were the days, Carlsberg pitchers 55thb.......another round, WHY NOT!

Now these MAGA geniuses have decided the older folks whose Medicare they took away with their crap bill, can replace the migrant workers! Yea, old mother Hubbard out picking strawberries so she can get some health care coverage. Incredible. Republican cruelty has no bounds. Three more years of these jerks and they are out. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/08/politics/agriculture-secretary-medicaid-no-amnesty

Dumb as dog poo 💩

Comrade? Not really a term we use in the U.S. For sure used in Phuket now though.......🙄

That was a lone crackpot individual, not hundreds storming the capital to keep a felon and rapist in office.

Leftist cult? Who chanted hang the VP, and stormed the capital trying to keep the Felon as President 1/6/21? They attacked police officers and were out to kill off democracy as we know it. You have the nerve to clain Leftist radicals? Geez, you MAGA radical right wingers are stupid. Was it radical leftists that set up kidnapping the governor of Minnesota? Was it radical leftists that shot and killed the lawmakers in the same state recently? MAGA= Cult dementia

Yes and yes. Wikipedia: . Prior to and during the Nazi era, some Jewish individuals and families immigrated to Germany from other countries, seeking refuge or opportunities. These individuals, along with those who were already German citizens, were all subject to the Nazi persecution and violence.

The analogy to Nazi Germany has to do with the Latino population being abused as the Jews were. Only 1% of the people arrested by ICE so have a criminal records, so where are all the arrests of your rapists/people ruining the country? Last week these ICE cowards who cover their faces with masks, were in a parking lot of a church in El Monte here in So. Cal. The female pastor had to kick them off the private property. How low can all you supporters of this go when you are arresting people going to church? California has the fourth largest GDP in the world, Vindictive Trump sets his sights on us because we don't vote for him and we don't support any of his policies. He is a con man, crook, and biggest grifter in the history of the presidency.

Traffic is so bad, it's a horrible business anyway. Cab driver I had last year said 10-15 years ago he could get 8-10 airport fares a day. Now he says he only works 4AM-7AM, goes home, then comes back and works 9pm-11pm and hopes to get 3 or 4 fares in. Other hours he is stuck in gridlock for hours, so what is the point. In all these Thai airports (same in PI) there is an official desk with fares posted. The most dangerous are the illegal guys in BKK.

A couple thousand baht each to a couple of the tuk-tuk thugs........."chai, that guy there".
