Jeremy Carl, Trumps nominee for LEADER of the State Dept, grilled by Senate for defending WHITE NATIONALISM........ Just another extreme MAGA racist that Trump cheerleads for. Jeremy Carl enters a Senate confirmation hearing defending “white identity” and Great Replacement rhetoric, only to face Chris Murphy, Cory Booker, and Tim Kaine as the questions sharpen, the contradictions mount, and arguments aligned with Donald Trump fracture under brutal scrutiny.

While due diligence is always WISE, I maintain, that like anything else a person should follow this advice: "if it makes you FEEL good, and it isnt illegal and doesnt harm anyone else, then just do it". Sometimes overthinking spoils an experience, and while none of us wants to be taken for fools, I live by the hope that people are generally good and trustworthy, and for those that arent, you Live & Learn !

You haven't read this thread carefully. No one is criticizing JvdB. This GoFundMe campaign was started after his death (and, as I said previously, I doubt he would have approved of it). Ever since the Affordable Care Act came into effect, all US citizens and permanent residents are protected from catastrophic medical expenses. The only expense which it doesn't cover is nursing home/long-term care, which JvdB clearly didn't need (and one can buy separate insurance for that, which I've done in order to protect my husband). It's hard for me to imagine how his uncovered medical expenses could even reach the $250,000 which she originally claimed, much less the millions of dollars she's collected instead. She's simply capitalizing on his good name (and shows no signs of stopping, no matter how many millions people donate). Well, I agree. The question, of course, is who is really needy. I donate thousands of dollars annually to various charities which help the POOR--the truly needy. I use the financial research done by charitynavigator.org, which studies the documents of the charities, and ensures that the money is spent efficiently to those who really need help. I almost always give to 4-star rated charities. Donating money to a multi-millionaire widow just because you liked her late husband constitutes giving $$ to a scamster to the detriment of the truly indigent. If you want to donate money to the needy, here are some suggestions: https://www.charitynavigator.org/search?causes=Food+aid&page=1&pageSize=10&sort=rating https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/363673599 https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/135660870

A most welcome greeting, @Suckrates. Thank you.

Beginning the first leg of my journey in approximately 3 hours. Flying from Denver to San Francisco where I will spend several days visiting friends and former colleagues. Haven't really been back to California since I retired and moved to Denver, so looking forward to reconnecting with folks in person. Much better than texting, FaceTime or Zoom. Hope to visit some of my favorite restaurants as well. Leave Wednesday evening for the second leg to Bangkok, to arrive mid-day on Friday, 2/20. Looking forward to new adventures.

Doesn't sound nice...

To my fellow forum members...... wishing you all a happy, peaceful, loving Valentines Day....... "I have a Heart-On for You !"

And I imagine the public sex is at least partially because most of them have nowhere else they could go.

Here is the MAGA Mindfuck shit we have to put up with since Trump...... It represents 1/3 of America's beliefs.... This debate features one of the most horrifying guests I’ve ever had on stream. He dismisses E. Jean Carroll’s civil liability case without understanding a single detail and repeatedly calls victims liars. Things take an even darker turn when he begins defending Jeffrey Epstein and insists that his guilt needs to be “proven.” The conversation quickly exposes how far some MAGA supporters are willing to go to excuse the indefensible. This one is genuinely disturbing. How do WE deal with this ?

BRILLIANT !!!!

Well, the CROSS did protect her from bursting into flames ! She performed for Trump and MAGA, both of whom cheered and applauded her "performance". It seems that today in politics, Trump and MAGA are the ONLY figures that matter ? The GOP doesnt want to fix ICE..... Mike Johnson sent his Congress on another break until the 23rd to AVOID amemding ICE policy. As did Thune with the Senate..... THEY ARE ALL PHONIES and LIARS.... At least 2/3 of Americans KNOW that to be true. Its a start.

I'm sure it's easy to blame the English but other former European colonies had similar restrictions. These type of laws are rarely enforced as they require actual proof along with the police/judiciary being simply not interested. Many of these former colonies either left old laws in place (they could easily repeal) or simply use vague public order laws to the same effect.

She ignores and offends the victims while wearing the cross.

I agree - go just after if you can. I've been to Morocco during Ramadan (by accident as I didn't check) and there was enough action / offers but less than normal. If the locals have been fasting then I'd expect lower performance too but they can 'legitimately' do stuff after dark or if they're 'ill' during the day.

Good examples. Yet, many of the Thailand examples I read about involve activity for which insurance is not easy to obtain at the level required. So if someone hires a motorbike and crashes it into a tree after having perhaps one beer, the insurance company would probably argue about paying out for that one. I agree some riders have imbibed more than a beer or two, but still someone has to pay the medical bills. Individuals are not always to blame when there are non-insurable events.

I think in the UK you can see the full programmes of each competitor along with sound. All the vdo I posted here has is a few seconds of each progrme and no sound. Hopefully someone will post the full versions on you tube sooner rather than later.

If and when people are in NEED, others just want to help. Its that fundamental EMPATHY that makes us HUMAN.... And trust plays a big part as well..... Life is always full of risks, but often those risks pay off and are fulfilling. And helping others is always good for the soul. 👍

It's NOT RFK's depravity allowing him.......it's Trumps DEPRAVITY that CHOSE him and is allowing him.... RFK just got lucky !

Still happens today, er, allegedly.

I remember years ago must 15 years at least ,driving up that way we stopped at a country town called Nimbin 🌿.... where I was shocked to be offered marijuana cookies in the local cafe 😳 Nimbin the marijuana hippie town

Diagnosing TMVII infection requires advanced testing, although most labs have trouble distinguishing TMVII from two other fungal infections known as T. mentagrophytes and T. interdigitale, according to the CDC. Patients may require weeks or even months of oral medication, and people should avoid using steroid creams, as they will worsen TMVII infection. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/sexually-transmitted-ringworm-spreading-one-165520940.html
