MTG is a woman scorned, by Trump, and is therefore on a redemption tour to insure she has some shot at an ongoing political career.... I DO NOT think she is wrong in here claims against Trump, but sorry girl "too little too late !"..... But the question remains if she still has substantial PULL with the MAGA crowd, and if that will make any difference in their support of Trump going forward ? YES she is still a racist clown and election denier, but as far as her claim about the Trump assassination attempt in PA being a staged set-up, I said that very thing for the moment that rubber bullet "appeared" to hit his face, but apparently as we see today, it did absolutely NO damage. As for the civilian that apparently was "murdered" I bet he and his family are living happily in witness protection with the millions of dollars they were given by Trump to aid him in pulling off the STUNT ?

Marjorie Taylor Greene Stokes Trump Assassination Plot Rumors https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/marjorie-taylor-greene-stokes-trump-023814378.html

The problem here is that Everyone is "allowing" him to get away with EVERYTHING in his Trump 2.0 rampage..... The GOP supports him, and the Dems keep telling us what is illegal about the things he does, yet there is never and accountability or consequences..... The talk is tired and cheap from the Dems..... We KNOW Trumps actions are corrupt and illegal. We dont need their bullhorn or acknowledgement. We see and FEEL what Trump is doing. At least those of us that source our news from places other than Fox and Newsmax do. Until someone actually stands up and DOES something, or unless Trump dies, this will be a very long and torturous 3 more years of his Crazy ! Trump is not the only one "incompetent"..... Seems the GOP and the Dems are too ? Its just one big circle-jerk and fuck-fest.

Mocking the simplistic rantings of neo-populist conservatives can be effective. Years ago Stockwell Day was the leader of the emerging neo-populist rightwing party of the Canadian Alliance. The Canadian, sort of equivalent, of SNL, This Hour has 22 Minutes, started a petition to have Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day change his name to Doris Day. With 370,000 signatures it reached the threshold to trigger a national referendum. Effectively making the point that referendums are no way to govern. (I really want a reporter to ask The Incompetent why, with his biblical Trooth Social post, did he chose to be represented as Fat Jesus - but I digress). 'Doris Day' petition hits the mark | CBC News Even though there was mocking involved, the mocking was about an idea, and came across as humorous and not mean-spirited. I think that is still largely true of Canadian politics versus American politics. Public financing of election campaigns and controls of campaign spending also help in Canada.

Someone start an on-line petition to have him change the spelling of his first name to "Cash" Patel.

This is largely my point. The Incompetent was handed a growing economy by Obama. The economy that was doing well during the Incompetent's 1st term was handed to him, until he eventually fucked it up, like he always does, with his catastrophic mishandling of the COVID pandemic. The only success he had in his first term was taking credit for someone else's work on the economy - until he eventually fucked it up. And, as you say, perceptions matter. Lots of people have a notion that the Incompetent is responsible for any economic successes - not a fact based notion. Don't let him get away with this in his second term. He was again handed a growing economy, drug prices coming down, gas prices coming down, inflation decreasing, job growth rapidly expanding, non-nuclear Iran (which John Kerry had already achieved through negotiations in 2016, but I digress), supports for new manufacturing in the USA, infrastructure investments (which Republicans voted against and now enjoy cutting ribbons for - but I again digress). I know this is an old story. The GOP paints Obama and Biden presidencies as economic failures, when in both cases they were cleaning up GOP economic disasters (financial crisis of 2008 and pandemic crisis of 2020) and left the Incompetent-in-Chief growing economies marked particularly by job growth, which he is going to eventually fuck up again. With this term, the incompetency is blatantly obvious. The corruption is blatantly obvious. I think these are the simple, concise messages that would be winners for the 2/3rds of Americans who are opposed to this regime that is for, by and about enriching billionaires. Also the megalomania and bat shit crazy of the Incompetent pairs nicely with the blatant corruption messaging.

Well, the perception really ISNT that good either, now is it ? 😏 Someone OR something NEEDS to knock Trump off his arrogant, racist, hateful, warmongering pedestal.

Perception matters more than reality.

The Trump train has left the tracks. In the last six weeks his behavior has been erratic , bizarre, delusional, and downright mean. Then there’s the whole thing about wanting to run away from a war he started that destabilized the entire middle east. Trump is carrying on the tradition of starting wars we won’t finish. ALL Americans should be concerned with the Presidents very troubling remarks & posts in recent weeks. He has compared himself to Jesus, threatened the Pope, vowed to destroy Iranian civilization, claimed he will take over Cuba, and then there’s walking away from NATO. That’s just the last two weeks.

I weirdly got lucky at Arena. One of the guys is a Thai Boxer. I asked him if he gets into rough roleplay and he said yes, so i gave him my Line. I’ll see how it works out

Of course they do.

Fake profile pictures is a huge problem in Myanmar as well. We had a similar situation in another thread. You (mauRICE) cast some general aspersions on me based on what people you know, who have seen me, told you about me. When I ask for details, you remain silent. That says more about your character than about mine. Forum members who have met have only good things to say about me.

I feel you, i am basically in the same boat like you in your first sentence. I don't think they are faithful, but in my mind he does not have to be. Just try to enjoy what you have with him and what the future brings is always an open question. Don't move there just because of him. If it's for thailand in general, ok; but if it ist because of him then you are in dangerous territory. And speak to him openly about what you want from him and the reason for you to move there. Mine gave honest answers, and this gives me more clarity if and how to move forward. For honesty of thai men in general you may like to google "thai gik culture". Considering gay thai men this is multiplied by 100. They like to hook up often and happily. You have to decide for yourself if you can live with that.

Americas Tax Dollars "at work for You"........

Darling sis, If Trump hasn't realized THAT at this point, he is just INCAPABLE of that Realization.... Haven't WE all suffered enough? Do we deserve to endure another 3 yrs of this "UNreality" show ? Let Iran get their Justice with HIM.....PLEASE ! 🙏

Perhaps that wheelchair may move to Thailand

I think the communication barriers by language tend to be a lot larger than we think, I was hooking up with this guy and his English was nearly perfect; he actually has an advanced degree in the English language, but still there were communication issues. For example, when we were trying to make plans and he asked what I wanted to do I said I'm down for anything and he interpreted that as me saying I don't feel well enough to do anything (as in I'm feeling down) Hell, on Grindr I can't count how many times someone says something to me and I have no clue what the fuck they're trying to say

Did anyone ever experienced being asked for money by staff at immigration or departure? I saw news online about someone having their boarding pass torn up for refusing the demand.

My experience, as a holiday visitor for the last twenty years, is that yes they can be faithful; the older they are, the more likely that they can be, but let me immediately qualify that, by asking 'who are we expecting him to be faithful to?' Most young Thai boys shag like rabbits with other young Thai boys on a daily basis; they can have current Thai boyfriends but they rarely seem particularly enduring relationships. But as for us older farang boyfriends living abroad?, well that's a whole different matter. I currently have two 'boyfriends', one Laos, one Thai (who each know about the other). My Laos boyfriend I have known for about ten years now, we video-call every day, and we meet-up whenever I return to Pattaya, but we haven't had sex together for several years; he is much more of a companion now. He now talks quite candidly to me about his other three farang boyfriends; and I am aware that each of us supports him a little bit. He has just about abandoned his bar-boy job in boyztown now, and focusses instead on keeping all four of us happy by daily contact. He is over 30 now and his own sex-drive has dwindled; when he does feel horny he finds another Thai boy who will come and suck his cock, or occasionally fuck him - and he pays them to do so (500 baht manybe). But his English is just about conversational now and he is my daily contact with Pattaya, and when I am in town he is my friend and companion. My Thai boyfriend is the 'boom boom' boyfriend that I have known about six years now. In his late 20s, he is still a horny little bugger and constantly shagging other Thai boys (top or bottom) on an almost daily basis, either individually or at small alcohol fuelled 'parties'. He likes me and happily stays with me on holiday, but I know he drools over other Thai boys (not me! haha) as we are forever chatting about who he has seen that he likes. He is into threesomes with me, and effectively he uses me as an excuse to have sex with the other boys we meet in the bars that we both choose as our third (or occasionally fourth 🤣). I also use him for threesomes in that there are bar boys who will come to my room because they know that they will be having sex with him (as well as me). I fully accept that neither boy will end up pushing my wheelchair here in England in years to come; neither wants to come and live with me in England; they are both entirely happy living where they are, and why not? In Thailand they have their families, their friends, their culture, language and foods. So neither are really my boyfriends in the sense that we might traditionally understand; I am essentially a favoured customer, a status I pay for in one way or another. Of course, if I was an exPat living in Pattaya, available to see them 24/7, then my 'relationship' with either might be entirely different.

Is your upcoming trip your first time travelling together? In that case, I would say you are still in the -getting to know each other- phase of exploring a relationship. Spend some of the time travelling together by talking over your mutual expectations for a relationship. I would not expect a long distance relationship to be monogamous, but I know others may have other expectations or assumptions, so it's important to be open about how you look at these things. Enjoy your trip and hopefully your relationship will develop in the direction you hope it to go.

"The land of smiles". I'd advise any newbie that if he wants a successful meeting, he should start with a smile. And then he will likely end with one.

I think everyone has opinions AND lived experience on this.... men can't be faithful, perhaps for a short time or if you've already had your share of fucking around in your younger years and want to settle down and companionship is more important than wild sex.... but expecting someone much younger than you to be at that stage with you and not fucking around is a pipe dream. Long distance relationships are not viable....better to be reliable fuck buddies/friends. Now can Thai men be faithful, specifically.... like @jimmie50 said, too much missing information in this case, but bet it falls into the above explanation regardless 😉
