What to do Charlie?

Yet sadly this topic will probably dissolve unto the ether as so many before !
Never happened.

Fast and furious they come these posts !
Be aware all involved !
Viability versus profitability?
It goes way way beyond the advertisment intrusions.
"Talk to the Hand" can not suffice much longer .

The son should take priority over the new wife, blood thicker than water etc.
I look at my Thai son 22 as an investment.
My English son is 41, and I still look after him, but he will always helps me out,
yesterday he popped a new gearbox in my old G wagon yesterday, saved me £2000.
Money supporting kids is better than money rotting in the bank. Wives come and go.
IMO that is a very depressing thing to state !
Investing in the potential of offspring is one thing but then to acclaim the selfish advantage ?
I have six children from 3 marriages. Two are step children but despite divorce of mother I and they still consider me as a caring parent and yet have never asked me for extended support because they are aware of the fact they are already of independent age and self responsibility and take it !
Blood thicker than water? Wives come and go? Not husbands? Or is that ok? Children are evaluated in terms of self advantage ?
And of course it remains a mystery as to why so many children once achieving an age of independence (or now so often many years before) give their parents the "big Flip"!....Not !

Here I was thinking maybe rappelling down the outside wall with a large roll of earth wire clipping it on on the way down !
Just joking. Maybe ! lol

The "yes AND no" by the Policeman makes me wonder if there was some "negotiation" that went on over the arrest/charges but after the "incident" it was reneged on by the officer who just tossed her back in the cell ?

It’s naive to believe the Republicans would ever convict Trump. They not only don’t care; they’re not “spineless” or “fear”—they love it. It’s exactly what they and their party are: totalitarians and fascists(*).
According to historians who attend these and other protests, it wasn’t just freaks storming the Capitol, but everyday-Republicans and even GOP politicians.
They’ve always been the party of minority rule based on voter suppression. They filled the courts with their henchmen, all the way up to the Supreme Court. Almost none of them has ever spoken up against Trump, not even after his attempted coup. In fact, only a few days after the failed coup, Graham travels with him to the Mexican border; some refuse to go through the new metal detectors; only 10 vote for impeachment; and one will even be filing articles of impeachment against Joe Biden once he’s taken office.
Make no mistake, that soft distancing from Trump that you’re seeing now is pure damage control. Frankenstein’s monster, the useful orange idiot, got out of control. But that doesn’t change the fact that he was always Mitch’s babythat he groomed to bring the party closer to dictatorial power under the disguise of “American democracy”.
They will never convict him. They want him to run again 2024 to try another time to establish a Republican Reich.
(*) not referring to WWII but to the political system
I strongly doubt that by the time the dust settles over current events that Trump will retain enough standing for nomination in the 2024 Primaries. His public support now from Republican party members even combined with Independents has dropped to around 40%. McConnell has enjoyed his time as POTUS Handler very much but would look to the like of Pence as easy meat. Not fresh meat but not tainted !
Regardless of the political aspect Trump has yet to deal with the reality of exposure to the civil actions that as POTUS he has been shielded from. There are also some significant issues surrounding more than one GOP affiliated individual that may add to the taint Trump has attracted to his alternative "swamp" !

China has been busy injecting some of their people with it as lab rats, but China hasn't even approved this vaccine yet for it's own domestic market. This is due to a lack of efficacy and safety data.
It's an absolute joke that it could be getting approval here before approval in it's country of origin.

Has it actually been approved by the Thai powers that be ?

I don't think it's all that hard to know what the Supreme Court would do. Impeaching a former president, the wobbly precedents notwithstanding, would represent the large expansion of the impeachment power of the Congress. I think the Roberts SC would nullify any legal action arising from such a decision, as I have outlined.
It obviously would be a major test. If a super majority of the Senate were to convict on standing charges arising from impeachment while Trump is still in office how sound would it be in terms of purpose of the Constitution for the SCOTUS to overturn a Senate conviction for "inciting insurrection"? IMO even Trump's recently appointed "Originalist" should have a problem with that.

Oh, dont you worry ... about Trump in the next election. Hes toast, and that reason has nothing to do with "the GOP" and everything to do with him being de-platformed.
What? Are his elevated footware to be repossessed too ?

Fingers crossed, Mitch will get the votes he needs and rid the party of this garbage.
At the same time is it not sad that the same man who has enabled so much for Trump and used his power of position in the Senate continues to wield power although in a reversed sense ?

I wonder how long Trump will hover near a door in the Border Wall to Mexico ?

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment is not a "new way" . It is only that it has never been invoked before!
I do not understand why Pence is so reticent . Trump and Co. were happy to watch the mob actively hunting through the Capitol for him expressing the aim of killing him and others as a means to destroy the constitutional established seat of Government . Had that been achieved who knows what Trump's actions would have been. IMO Pence could easily justify invoking Section 4 citing derangement causing a psychological incapacity to function according to the Presidential Oath of Office.

Keep in mind that there are over 79 million Trump supporters not involved in any protests.????
That number may have been reduced significantly over the last week.

When the pandemic hit here in the US ., we bought a nautilus machine and some free weights and set up a gym room in our house.
The most exercise I got out of it was dragging the damn things into the room. exercise equipment are heavy, and don't get me started on the free weights. there must be a gravitational anomaly by our house because the damn things seem to be stuck to the ground .
They do look impressive though. I look at them all the time.
YES!

Fair point about massage parlors though - they should probably be shut down too.
For centuries / milennia people have exercised without gyms. Do you really need to pump iron with lot's of other people present? Or is it an ego thing?
Image ! Massage is way too p2p! "Gyms" are like the majority of buyers of high performance expensive vehicles. No real ability to make best use but looks impressive ! lol

Presuming this is a retrospective analytical finding from samples kept from this Italian patient it could be quite embarrassing for the blamers who have so consistently pointed at China as the source rather than consider China as the initial epidemic that evolved into a pandemic .

I was shot by a Leb in Melbourne. I did sหเt myself when it happened, but not literally, no flatulence.I hold no grudges, I sort of deserved it, a bit over the top, but I wasn’t an innocent party.
lol. ok.

I am left to wonder how the medications were delivered to this poor animal for the various aliments it suffered before death. And was it the ailments that made it angry enough to kill a Ranger before succumbing to them or was it the gunshot wounds inflicted by others who came to be frightened by it ?
Sad outcome either way.

The headline claims it had been shot 43 times. But it had 40 pellets from a shotgun.
anyone who has been shot with a shotgun knows you can be shot once or twice to get that many shotgun pellets.the headline is wrong.The Thai authorities will take this seriously, they are very serious about protecting elephants. If they catch who did it there will be a jail term as has been given in past cases.
Natai Beach notes the original Sanook article does not claim the elephant was shot 43 times.
Were you shot for reason of extreme flatulence?
Sorry, but I had to ask !
