American Politics

Have you ever been to Thailand? Katoeys have been in the royal court for a thousand years or longer. I think the Thais have a firmer grip on reality than idiot leftwingers in the USA. Go to Soi Sukhumvit on any night and talk to some Ladyboy SW's. They won't bite unless you want them to. Ask them if they are girls or not. Their almost universal answer to that question should enlighten you. The Japanese have it straight too. Ha Ha, pun intended. Ladyboys in Japan are referred to as "Newhalfs". So, if trannys want to compete in sporting events no one is preventing them from organizing their own leagues and competing amoung themselves. If people want to watch them compete in these sporting events these leagues will prosper. That is the American way! Duh.

There is a beauty contest in Thailand each year for Ladyboys. In western countries they be trippin.

Personally I don't think the average voting person in the United States of America could give a fuck about dick politics. I think they care about housing, feeding and clothing themselves. Something the current Plutocracy does not give a fuck about because they have theirs. When the three richest men in the United States of America has the POTUS' back, it does not bode well my fellow citizens.

Would this be the same French Government that underspends on its military to the point that it could defend itself against another aggressor nation without the help of United States of America. Didn't they learn anything from World War II?

Do You always live in 80 years ago? I don t think electric cars are a good solution, out of towns.

Finally, it is only in the stupid precincts of Left Wing Western political thought (of the 21st century) that people like you think men can be woman and vice versa.

AH, I agree with you 1000% on all but this one. The only trans guy I knew is a relative who would go through this crazy ritual to wear women's clothes. Now another family member has come out as trans. Perhaps the most gentle, nonthreatening way to come to grips with this was watching the excellent documentary Will and Harper. If you heart does not become a little unglued watching this successful writer describe himself as a freak and cry about hating himself for being so weird, you might not have a heart. Hell, the guy bought a place in the sticks in California just to have a place where he could watch the sun set while wearing a dress. He then talked about the joys of a boob job and estrogen treatment but was not ready to do full genital transormation.

Yes, there are men who dress up like women to strip men of their money in the hobby. And yes, there are men dressing like women to get into female spaces and have sex with women and potentially rape them. That said, I do not think it is limited to those two categories or to the 21st century. J. Edgar Hoover was known to like wearing a dress.

One time a friend found himself intertwined in a government proceeding. The prosecutor was openly gay as was the judge, and the lead counsel for the government agency was a closet tranny and was such an ass. Some of the most evil people in history have been closet gays or trannies. They are skilled at hiding their true selves and also desire to have power over others such that they can be who they really are. Given that pitfall, I would much prefer they be allowed to be themselves.

I have not met the women who want to be men personally but I have met the reverse, and I believe their desire was genuine.

This is figure for pollution control on technical control made by comoanies approved by french government.

Would this be the same French Government that underspends on its military to the point that it could defend itself against another aggressor nation without the help of United States of America. Didn't they learn anything from World War II?

3) This is exactly the hypocrisy that I am pointing out. One's real politics is not found in the stupid shit people say, but in how they live their lives. BKK Bob will bore you to death with his left-wing BS pendantory, but he lives his life financially speaking as Capitalist and socially as a Libertarian. This is complete hypocrisy. You ever hear the expression "Do As I Say, Not As I Do"? If you need help understanding this, it means: that a speakers actions speak louder than his words, so pay attention to what he does not what he says.

This is a classic logical fallacy. Political Systems and Economic Systems are different. Is China a capitalist country? I would argue yes! Is their political system free and open? Not from what I understand.

[MarquisdeSade1]

It doesn't matter what you think. A PO transsexual considers herself a woman. Even pre-operated transsexual considers herself a woman trapped in a man's body. Now, would I want to fuck a transsexual? No. I want to have sex with a biologically born woman. But I would never deny a transsexual the right to be what she (or he or them for that matter) want to be.

You just need to get into your skull that this is not your damn business. It's their bodies, not yours. It will get easier after finally get that.

This is a pure conservative bullshit-spewing propaganda. Who's doing that to "young boys"? Who's grooming who? Where? State the facts or stop this nonsense. Your ramblings here are on the same level as the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.

As to sport competitions, I used to think along the same lines until another member presented persuading arguments in this very thread. Search for our conversations. The number of transsexual athletes is miniscule and their effects on competitions are non-existent. That's another ideological nothing-sandwiich designed to scare their flock.

I don't hate the word. I say this is an idiotic parody of the word that doesn't make any sense. It's right wingers who hate any movements challenging your ideology (which is fully understandable by the way), but you should've come up with a better word for it. This one is ridiculously inept.

What exactly don't you like? That this word tells people to stay awake or that it has African-American origins?

Nice job lumping a thousand of made-up issues into one little paragraph. To be clear: I hate all anti-Semites on the right and on the left. Moreover, I despise all wingers, the right ones and the left ones, as I stated here only a few dozen times. As a centrist (not a lefty as you so eloquently put) I'm an equal-opportunity hater.

Nope. You've made it up again, LOL.

You called Eih a Marxist. From what I can see, he doesn't resemble a Marxist at all. The man seems to have done quite well for himself, and he also seems to be living a dream. Perhaps, you (just like most of your ideological comrades) simply don't understand what Marxists are. That's fine because I do.

You seem to be exulted. Why? The highest being what -- 49%? LOL! And your LAS is doing all he can to end these "majorities" in the next 2 to 4 years when his cheap publicity blitzkriegs have failed miserably. Enjoy it while you can.

Come on Man.

Don't insult us moderates and centrists by calling yourself and writing shit like this.

"A PO transsexual considers herself a woman. Even pre-operated transsexual considers herself a woman trapped in a man's body. Now, would I want to fuck a transsexual? No. I want to have sex with a biologically born woman. But I would never deny a transsexual the right to be what she (or he or them for that matter) want to be. ".

Your ramblings here are on the same level as the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.

Pizza gate was not a conspiracy theory it was about Bill Clinton and Bill Gates et al.

So what did Epstein have to offer them?

Don't talk like a psycho leftist and call yourself a moderate, that's just pathetic!!

[EihTooms]

Really, this constant, never-ending Repub / Winger / MAGA obsession and focus on trannies, imaginary child cannibalism, child mutilation, child blood-drinking, well, so many obsessive thoughts about children children children in general, what genitals the person in the toilet stall next to them were born with, what is the definition of their own genitals, mythical "wokeism" and on and on instead of how their economic policies and stewardship have produced every Great Depression, Great Recession and Massive Historic Jobs Destruction of the past 100 years and none of the Historic Economic Recoveries. Expansions and Jobs Creation is just getting monotonous.

And, as usual, their rather weird sexual and, well, inappropriate age-related sexual obsessions do nothing particularly positive for the stock market either.

Stuck stock market is worried about economic growth.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/08/stuc...ndroidappshare

Yet day to day, the many-forked path of policy-setting involving tariffs, immigration crackdowns, executive-branch program curbs and, eventually, a tax-and-spending package has sapped market confidence in an imminent economic acceleration.

Many of the textbook Trump trades pricing in a strong growth impulse driving a higher-nominal-growth economy have largely unwound. The small-cap Russell 2000 has rolled back to mid-October levels. And as shown here, the beloved industrial sector has also slid back relative to the broader market.
...........
Its tough to deny that the clench-and-release of tariff threats is the proximate mover of tactical trading flows and the public mood. The S&P 500 low for last week came less than an hour after Mondays opening bell, when 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico were freshly imposed. A 3% multi-day relief rally from there eventually took the S&P 500 to a high right at 6,100 upside resistance unless and until proven otherwise on Friday morning.

That was just before the University of Michigan consumer survey showed a big jump in one-year inflation expectations, almost certainly tied to tariff fears, with stocks legging lower still after President Trump vowed reciprocal tariffs on countries now imposing duties on U.S. goods. Stocks fell 1% from there into the weekly close.
..........
A tariff conflict, rather, is treated by the market as a war of choice that might have positive eventual objectives but in the here and now threatens to throw sand in the gears of commerce and kick dust into the eyes of CEOs and capital allocators.

This is why Social Issues, politically, are for Suckers.

Snap out of it, you Repubs / Wingers / MAGAs! Try to concentrate on issues that matter and over which the politicians we vote for definitely have some influence and control! Not on Social Issue junk that will move along with the times, the culture and what free human beings are drawn to anyway regardless who we vote for.

The Social Issues that keep you people tossing and turning with obsessive worry in your bed every night will go the direction society wants them to go even if you election 5 Ronald Reagans followed by 5 Donald Trumps in a row over the next 2-3 generations.

I thought you Repubs / Wingers / MAGAs were supposed to be "pro business", supporters of Capitalism, free trade and THE ECONOMY. There is an awful lot of lip-service dedicated to creating that highly dubious impression at least.

Then when are you going to start acting like it, stop obsessing over your and everyone else's genitals and, most importantly, start voting for presidents and congresses that know how to build an "Envy of the World" Economy rather than finding new and unprecedented ways to Crash the Economy?

Of course, that would require you to vote for Dems instead of Repubs. But, hey, think of how much better you will feel and sleep at night to know the people you voted for are not even half as obsessed with trannies' and children's genitals as you and your fellow Repubs / Wingers / MAGAs are!

Senile Trump bullshiting game is to put fire everywhere, maybe not enough fire in California. Our world have not to care about this old senile crazy who doesn t know our world.

1) You just need to get into your skull that this is not your damn business. It's their bodies, not yours. It will get easier after finally get that.

Perhaps, you (just like most of your ideological comrades) simply don't understand what Marxists are. That's fine because I do.

1) I don't give a damn what consenting ADULTS want to do their bodies unless they want me to pay for their operations with my hard-earned tax dollars. But you are avoiding the main issue: WHEN ADULTS MUTILATE A CHILDS BODY! Duh! The thing about children is that they are innocent beings and will believe what adults tell them. So, it is very, very wrong (fascistic) and a form of child abuse to "groom" children. "Leave our kids alone!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs35t2xFqdU&t=154s.

2) You are absolutely out of your fucking mind if you think it is alright for men to compete in women's sports at any level or share bathrooms with underage high school girls. What the fuck is wrong with you? Any third rate male boxer will destroy even the best female boxer. DUH!

3) This is exactly the hypocrisy that I am pointing out. One's real politics is not found in the stupid shit people say, but in how they live their lives. BKK Bob will bore you to death with his left-wing BS pendantory, but he lives his life financially speaking as Capitalist and socially as a Libertarian. This is complete hypocrisy.

[Xpartan]

You completely miss the point. I don't care who you or anybody else fucks. Fuck an antelope for all I care. I was merely pointing out the Left's and specifically BKK Bob's hypocrisy. Woke doctrine states that anyone can be a girl at any time and same same for a girl who wants to be a man. What's her fucks name, you know, the Biden Supreme court appointee who could not answer the simple question: what is a woman? I think you can. I know I can. I am pretty sure BKK Bob can because he does so every time he hits Soi 4 looking for a hot date. 555. BUT nobody attending the last Democratic convention could or would answer the question 'what is a woman' and that is a problem.

It doesn't matter what you think. A PO transsexual considers herself a woman. Even pre-operated transsexual considers herself a woman trapped in a man's body. Now, would I want to fuck a transsexual? No. I want to have sex with a biologically born woman. But I would never deny a transsexual the right to be what she (or he or them for that matter) want to be.

You just need to get into your skull that this is not your damn business. It's their bodies, not yours. It will get easier after finally get that.

For example, are you in favor of the practice of mutilating a child's body or giving female hormones to young boys? Are you in favor of the practice known as "grooming" our children? Do you approve of having a man compete with a woman in the Olympics' boxing tournament or swimming tournaments? I haven't heard anything about this from any of you ISG lefties. WHY? And why couldn't any of you guys admit Joe Biden was suffering from some form of dementia his entire term in office?

This is a pure conservative bullshit-spewing propaganda. Who's doing that to "young boys"? Who's grooming who? Where? State the facts or stop this nonsense. Your ramblings here are on the same level as the Pizzagate conspiracy theory.

As to sport competitions, I used to think along the same lines until another member presented persuading arguments in this very thread. Search for our conversations. The number of transsexual athletes is miniscule and their effects on competitions are non-existent. That's another ideological nothing-sandwiich designed to scare their flock.

So, I understand why you and other lefties hate the word WOKE.

I don't hate the word. I say this is an idiotic parody of the word that doesn't make any sense. It's right wingers who hate any movements challenging your ideology (which is fully understandable by the way), but you should've come up with a better word for it. This one is ridiculously inept.

Woke, the African-American English synonym for the General American English word awake, has since the 1930s or earlier been used to refer to awareness of social and political issues affecting African Americans, often in the construction stay woke.

What exactly don't you like? That this word tells people to stay awake or that it has African-American origins?

Too fucking bad! You guys are stuck with it around your necks until you are willing to disown it. And except for your recent post entitled "Typical European anti-Semites" I haven't heard you say anything negative about the Woke agenda including Woke antisemitism, the open border policy, giving the vote to illegal aliens, rewriting history and destroying our education system, DEI which is total racism, censorship of opposing viewpoints, lawfare against your political opponents, gutting the constitution and creating a one party state like California, not making the streets safe by not arresting repeat criminals especially if they are of certain skin shade or re-releasing violent criminals with a no bond requirement, ill management of the homeless, and the worst of all, and yeah, I am not going to let this one go, the sexual mutilation our children. https://www.instagram.com/p/DFqd3OgzDOT/.

Nice job lumping a thousand of made-up issues into one little paragraph. To be clear: I hate all anti-Semites on the right and on the left. Moreover, I despise all wingers, the right ones and the left ones, as I stated here only a few dozen times. As a centrist (not a lefty as you so eloquently put) I'm an equal-opportunity hater.

You got it? You want a definition? Here it is: Woke is Mao's cultural revolution cleverly adapted for the American population.

Nope. You've made it up again, LOL.

As to your claim that I call anyone who disagrees me a Marxist; I think you are wrong there buddy, for example, I do not recall ever calling you a Marxist. Rather I think you fall into the lost liberal category. You have been a democrat or a liberal all your life and you just do not realize that today's Democratic party is a long, long way from liberalism. Hell, I hope one day the liberals ARE able to take back their party because in the long run America needs 2 viable political parties.

You called Eih a Marxist. From what I can see, he doesn't resemble a Marxist at all. The man seems to have done quite well for himself, and he also seems to be living a dream. Perhaps, you (just like most of your ideological comrades) simply don't understand what Marxists are. That's fine because I do.

But that ain't happening right now because the WOKES are still running the Democrat Party, and they are going nuts over Trump 47. Great! Did you know that Biden's approval rating on the day he left office was lower than Nixon's on the day he left office? That's astonishing. Meanwhile Trump's favorable rating is the highest it has ever been. HAHAHA. How you like me now! So, unless the moderates can take back their party you better get used to Republican majorities for a long time to come. Make America Great Again! 555!

You seem to be exulted. Why? The highest being what -- 49%? LOL! And your LAS is doing all he can to end these "majorities" in the next 2 to 4 years when his cheap publicity blitzkriegs have failed miserably. Enjoy it while you can.

While Trump is in a stronger position than at any point in his political career, his numbers still pale in comparison to those of his two Democratic predecessors at this point in their presidencies.

According to FiveThirtyEight averages, President Joe Biden had a 54% approval rating and 36% disapproval rating on Feb. 6, 2021. President Barack Obama had a 61% average approval rating and 26% average disapproval rating just weeks into his first term in February 2009.

Because I cannot take it with me, I am consuming a lot more. BTC at 200K party? No thank you! If I was really going to celebrate and spend some money I am going to Kyoto, Japan, or on one of those around the world cruises.

A quick review of my preferences in Pattaya will find us at a table at Heaven Above, or maybe you can take me to your favorite top tier Agogo on walking street. You know with the knock kneed bimbos walking like hos those who post in the Pattaya Reports thread seem to like so much. There is a much better value hotel (Than the Pattaya Hilton) with ocean views in Jomtien (reported on it) where I do my Long Times.

I'll certainly get the first bottle of Goose at Heaven Above!

I have heard great things about Kyoto from a fellow punter friend of mine, so I'd like to go someday and check it out. I haven't been to LOS is a LONG time so I am sure things have changed a bit. I would set aside at least a week minimum to scout around and find my new post-covid favorite places. Heavens Above, Airport, Saphire, and Happy used to be a few of my favorite "regular Go Go's, but I used to be a regular at What's Up before they went downhill and were eclipsed by Pinup and the like. Not that I am a fan of agency bars, but if that is where the smokin' hot girls are, that is where you will find me.

On the Hilton: I am well aware that there are better value hotels in Pat. In fact, I have only stayed at the Hilton 1 time and did not really like it. Their pool always crowded with guests and is way too small for such a large hotel so inviting my sexy little friends over for lunch by the poolside and afternoon boom boom is not optimal. Plus their regular rooms are not really 5 star quality. But for a large party with 4 or 5 girls per punter, one does need a large suite with multiple beds in separate rooms which is why I mentioned the Hilton in the 1st place, plus I have a lot of Hilton points so a few nights in the penthouse suite would cost me nada. Take a look and my buddy, Anaggie's recent trip report to Sao Paulo. And while I am on the subject, I highly recommend SP and Brazilian girls. That is where I have been hanging out since Thailand locked me out in 2020, ha ha, and I have another scheduled trip to SP coming up in April. SP has white girls (my personal favorite), black girls, indigenous girls, Japanese Brazilian girls and varying mixes of all four ethnicities and these girls come in all shapes and sizes AND the real kicker is that most of them LOVE TO FUCK! The only downside is, and I am being brutally honest, is that they are more condom conservative than Thai girls although I still manage to get my fair share of bareback.

Rock on,

This is figure for pollution control on technical control made by comoanies approved by french government. Sometimes, smelling flowers. What is pollution made by China since so many years? To build shit products most often dangerous for health.

I can send You my official by government technical control with 0% CO2 , surprising me for a so powerful V8 Audi when I increased power.

Following California's lead? With what? Burning homes? Brown outs? OMG. California does not have their own grid, Spidy.

What a stupid and imbecilic argument!

Like Texas hasn't had their own gird issues, like brownouts, blackouts, tornadoes, hurricanes and ice storms fucking up their grid!

How much did USAID paying you for that brilliant line? Were serving the customer, keeping a lid on expenses, and promoting synergy all copyrighted by other left wing geeks?

As for billionaires, the richest ones were all Democrats until Musk changed teams. You keep railing against your own.

What is with you Democratic douches and Biden? The guy could not spell cat if you spotted him the first two letters, and you dumb douches keep talking about how brilliant he was. And taking our tax dollars and spending them does not mean any pol should get credit. Pols are supposed to be referees. The players make the game great not the refs.

The USAID money is gone now Spidy. You do not get to take tax payer dollars for kissing Biden's ass anymore. I do not consider giving Brazil $10 million dollars to do a transgender opera creating jobs. Taking my tax dollars to do that is not job creation.

Uhh!...Duh!...What now? WTF are you taking about, Brazil, $10 million and transgender opera?

I don't know about you, but I was conversing about the American vs Chinese competitive and innovation battle in the AI, EV and the automotive industry.

You're starting to make about as much sense as Sirioja, and his idiotic arguments on "E85 technical control with 0% CO2", being zero emissions and cleaner running than EVs.

Dude, Elvis 2008, why don't you get back to me, when you REALLY have something interesting and intelligent to say, about America's competitiveness and innovation vs. China, in the AI, EV, clean energy or related technology spaces!

See, it really doesn't matter that most of Trump's big "Day One" Tariffs, Tariffs and More Tariffs campaign promises never materialized or were slapped back by other countries.

The mere constant blather about them was enough to set the American economic decline Trump and President Musk apparently are squirreling for in motion:

Consumer inflation fears spike in February as tariff worries hit sentiment.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/07/cons...ndroidappshare

The University of Michigan consumer survey showed that respondents expect inflation a year from now to be 4.3%, a 1 percentage point jump from January and the highest since November 2023.

Worries over inflation dovetailed with lower optimism overall, as the headline index fell to 67.8, a one-month drop of 4.6% and an 11.8% move lower from the same month a year ago.
............
Consumers grew dramatically more worried about near-term inflation as President Donald Trump pushed aggressive tariffs against major U.S. trading partners, a closely watched survey showed Friday.

The University of Michigan consumer survey for February showed that respondents expect the inflation rate a year from now to be 4.3%, a 1 percentage point jump from January and the highest level since November 2023.

Though Trump postponed tariffs against Canada and Mexico, the looming threat of price pass-throughs to consumers shook sentiment. China has levied retaliatory tariffs following Trumps move. The survey window ran from Jan. 21, the day after Trump took office, to Feb. 3.

Many consumers appear worried that high inflation will return within the next year, said Joanne Hsu, the surveys director. This is only the fifth time in 14 years we have seen such a large one-month rise (one percentage point or more) in year-ahead inflation expectations.

Longer-run expectations werent hit as much, with the five-year outlook drifting up to 3.3%, a 0.1 percentage point gain.

Worries over inflation dovetailed with lower optimism overall, as the headline index fell to 67.8, a one-month drop of 4.6% and an 11.8% move lower from the same month a year ago. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a reading of 71.3.

The survey sometimes is influenced by shifting political winds. However, Hsu noted that declining sentiment was pervasive, with Republicans, Independents, and Democrats all posting sentiment declines from January, along with consumers across age and wealth groups.

Assuring weirdly nervous MAGAs about the certainty of the genitals they were born with being verified "by law" doesn't seem to be cheering them up about what is to come under this new administration.
