[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2945494]Certainly not everywhere but more places than most, I will say unequivocally Thailand is not at the top of my list.

I know several awesome places that smoke Thailand on every single metric.

To me Thailand especially Pattaya is a place for beta simps (not you of course you are one of the better mongers out there, but you could do much much better somewhere else).

Its no place for me.

Thailand is for rookies with zero skills, which makes it an ideal place to price gouge for everything from A to Z.

Will I ever return? If I'm in the area of SEA maybe? But certainly I would never ever dedicate a special trip, and certainly never ever to retire.[/QUOTE]Not calling you a bullshitter, just saying Thailand is fucking outrageously awesome and this is from a guy who prefers latinos.

If you ever want to share those locales, I would be most grateful.

[QUOTE=Goatscrot;2944998]And again scarcity is one of the main factors if not the main factor when it comes to inflation.[/QUOTE]Exactly and a United States Federal Reserve Note is not scarce. Gold (Au) and Bitcoin (BTC) are both scarce.

Reserve banks around the world are moving away from holding USD and buying gold like it is going out of style. There are four countries currently that have announced they are holding major Bitcoin reserves.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2945641]Most old retired guys are not fucking everyday like a teenager though. Someone in the States yesterday on facebook posted a bill of when they went to the emergency room. $25,000. They had to pay $1,000 and the insurance was paying the other $24,000. When I am sick in Thailand, I walk into the doctor's office and walk out about 10 minutes later having paid about 400 baht, medicine included.[/QUOTE]When the decision is made to choose an expat retirement destination, the retiree is not usually 85. I was in my late 40's when I began to seriously consider when and where to spend those final decades. I was 58 when I made the move. I could have done it a few years earlier but stayed in the USA a bit longer mostly because I was still having fun in my work and had some domestic traveling left to do.

I would say in those earlier years mongering options were a higher priority for where to set up a comfy residence. Luckily, fucking and getting well blown by several different ladies per week was still on the agenda. And it remained on the agenda for me for the next 11 years until, dammit, I met a sweet, lovely young lady who has decided I am her happiness and pleasure project at extremely low expense for me for the rest of my life. Too soon as far as I'm concerned. LOL.

Late 70's would have been better timing for that offer rather than early 70's. But there she was. Well, I still manage to sneak in a strange every now and then. And solo trips to, say, Pattaya and the Philippines are not out of the question.

Ironically, I have had local health insurance coverage since I moved here, years before it was required to extend my retirement visa, and to this day I have not had a single reason to use it. Knock on wood.

[B]Fred Flinstone[/B] I just fucked your wife Willma and your daughter Pebbles (now that she is over 18). It was a threesome and came in Pebbles ass and Willma's mouth and they kissed each other and shared the cum. [B]The internet lets you be anyone you want to be.[/B].

I am sorry my post triggered you. There are self help books for that or you can seek professional mental help for emotional problems.

I can say why I don't like it can you say why its "outrageously awesome" for you? (with verbiage like this you sound like you don't get out very much).

I hate the crowds, the traffic, the ginormous rats, the heat, the humidity, the food blows, there's nothing to do (besides drink).

Its a huge clip joint for rookies, brothels that have women only selling drinks, or asking for 20 or 30 or 40 LDs lmao.

Asking a Kings Ransom for some pussy in a 3rd world shithole is just a lame joke, you think I'm bullshitting about my opinion?

Walk around WS in Pattaya this Friday or Saturday night and tell me its not a joke.

And don't get me started on the anti white racism!!

"If you ever want to share those locales, I would be most grateful".

Are you serious? Do you think this is how you get people to share info with you? Call them a bullshitter LMAOOOOOOOO.

If you don't know where there are better places than Thailand, you deserve Thailand and most certainly belong there, please enjoy!!

Please tell us more how you earned everything you have.[/QUOTE]So you have two parties, they make their rules, to which you have a problem with one of them, but your group couldn't get your guy over the hump despite this, and now you're voicing your anger, at the Democrat's policies and procedures. Then you ended by going at SubCmdr on how he didn't earned what he has? Yeah not weird at all.

Presidential candidates can choose whoever they want as a running mate, and usually they think strategically how to win more votes with their partners.

Here's a list of VP picks.

Walz Vance.

Harris Pence.

Pence Kaine.

Biden Ryan.

Biden Palin.

Cheney Edwards.

Cheney Lieberman.

Gore Kemp.

Gore Quayle.

Quayle Bentson.

Bush Ferraro.

Many of them didn't run for president. In the PAST, it was the norm that you have two strong candidates within the primary to partner up. Now, that's less significant. But focus on your guy and get out there and promote for him and try to get him elected. Don't worry about the candidate you never supported.

[QUOTE=SubCmdr;2945722]That is the headline:

[URL]https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/16/politics/secret-service-trump-second-assassination-attempt/index.html[/URL]

Yet that is EXACTLY what they are asking them to be.

[I]questions are again swirling about how another gunman was able to get within several hundred yards of the former president, especially given the outing was not a publicly announced event.[/I]

[B]You do realize that there were three US Presidents that were assassinated before the United States Secret Service was even assigned to protect the President[/B]

It is not like the people of the United States of America take this shit very seriously. All you have to do is look at the budget of the United States Secret Service and compare it to the law enforcement budgets of other agencies with less critical functions to figure it out.

I have a friend who worked for the United States Secret Service. All of the employees of that agency put in insane hours because they are constantly short on personnel. The also spend crazy hours traveling all over the country and the world for their assignments. Yes, they get paid well. But there is simply NOT enough of them!. Period. [B]Full Stop![/B].

Agreed. But it does not mean that the Director of the United States Secret Service was [I]responsible[/I] for the failure of the line employees of the day of the first assignation attempt on President Trump. Like you said she was [I]in charge[/I]. Every Captain on a ship in the United States Navy knows they have bottom line accountability. The Captain standing on the Bridge is accountable but an error in the engine room is not ultimately his responsibility. Yet, if there is one he will be held accountable. This was the difference I was trying to point out.

Respect.

[U]About Personal Attacks[/U]

If you need an apology because you feel I am being disrespectful of your position as a [B]low level wage slave[/B] please note that was not my intention. I call it the way I see it. If you are not a [B]low level wage slave[/B]. But, in my opinion, your views do not take into account the big picture thinking it takes to run an agency.

Apologies, your job (part time) is to talk shit to me here in the [B]American Politics[/B] Thread on ISG.[/QUOTE]You and I didn't disagree with assessing this issue. Candidate / President shouldn't be shot at, and if so, somone needs to be accountable. The only distinction I made was, Why should a new acting director needs to be fired if Secret Service did their job, the perp apprehended and no one was hurt.

No need to apologize, we're all big boys here. You can make any assumptions you want of me. Just pointing out that I try to keep things on a higher level, and I believe you want the same.

[U]Why?[/U]

There is a HUGE difference between sitting President and Former President. This also applies to the Vice President and Presidential Candidates. The threat levels are different. What I see in the news is that those distinctions are not being made when it comes to Trump. If the public wants Trump protected like he is still the sitting president of the United States of America then they need to tell Congress to pony up the money.

Please note after Ford was shot at and Regan took a bullet neither director was fired. Today there is a political environment full of toxic ideas that have moved the public debate about issues far away from being civil and based on facts and logic.

We all know polls do not predict election outcomes. But 48 days out and with many voters already or soon to receive their absentee / mail-in ballots, this is just an update for anyone here who enjoy polls. Or used to.

The demonstrably Winger-leaning RealClearPolitics site has once again updated their No Toss Up States Electoral College Votes Map, the Top Battleground States status, etc while the 538 Site has updated their Who is Favored To Win page. See screenshots below.

[URL]https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/[/URL]

These updates would suggest the unfounded, racist, hysterical, fear-mongering house pet eating accusations are not working all that well for the Trump-Vance campaign. Maybe the next big pre-election day event, the Vice President Candidate debate, will trigger a major change in the obvious trend here:

So in an attempt to court the Latino vote, Trump's mental acuity fails him once again and his all too apparent senility, is on full display at a rally in Las Vegas.

Taking a page out of the Trump playbook on [i][b]"How to court minority voters",[/b][/i] just like Trump figured he'd target the black vote, by using rappers, Trump now seeks to do the same with Latino voters.

[u]Latino Backlash/Blowback:[/u]

So from the island of Puerto Rico [i](where Trump once throw paper towels at hurricane victims [Oct 3rd, 2017] as office aid to help)[/i], Trump received endorsements from reggaeton artists like Anuel AA, Justin Quiles and Nicky Jam. But soon received blowback and condemnation from their fans, who no doubt remember the "paper towel aid" debacle and the fact Trump blocked the 2017 hurricane aid to Puerto Rico.

But to add insult to injury, from senile Trump, at his rally in Las Vegas, the Latino reggaeton artist Nicky Jam, was introduced as a woman, Trump saying [i][b]"she's 'hot'... where is she...where's Nicky".[/b][/i] (...kkkk!)

The headlines, soon reduced Nicky Jam, as the butt of Trump's gaffe, as it was apparent Trump didn't know (or didn't care to know), who Nicky was. Needless to say, some of the reggaeton artist have withdrawn and rescinded their endorsements.

And this is the senile old fool, Repubs want in office?

[b]PS:[/b] Maybe Trump thought, it was one of those teenage high school students, who are boys at the start of school, have surgery and magically come out as girls at the end of the school day? (...kkkk!)

Remember when Trump repeatedly demanded the journalist at the NABJ meeting define the term "DEI" before he dared to attempt a response on a Harris-related question about it?

And, no, there is not now nor has there ever been nor is there likely to be in the next 9-10 years any Joe Biden counterpart to that astonishingly blithering Trump blather.

Yeah, we know: "Childcare is Childcare. ".

I submit it is long past time to acknowledge that the reason for Trump's "Weave" is that he has absolutely no idea what those terms, concepts and topics mean. On the most basic level. For some of us this serious problem was obvious ftom the moment he descended that escalator 9 years ago and continually confirmed all through his horrific so-called presidency.

But either it has taken this long for lazy, typically pro Repub Mainstream Media to finally catch up to this reality or, more likely, they simply adamantly refused to ever ask him the most obvious questions that would reveal what their business model must never reveal about their Repub darlings.
