Oh look who is back! And just in time for Halloween! Well, sugar, I hope you stash away some treats for when you need to force down the medicine in November.

Why does this surprise you? Australia cheats at cricket all the time! 🤭

The grift continues. Read today in Newsweek that Trump is now requesting a military aircraft and additional secret service protection. I guess he figured out that with all the miles (hours?) he is putting on his own aircraft, the engines will need to be rebuilt by the time he loses the election. May as well let uncle Sam pick up the tab for his travel, right? Who is going to tell him that the military won't fly him to a non extradition country when he loses the election and faces jail time??

I know some people don't approve of nudity so strip poker may rub them the wrong way...but this seems like a bit of an over reaction! 😆

It is easy to criticize... you'd rather the USA stay home, let piracy run wild on the high seas (Somalia) and let the slaughter of innocent civilians continue (Syria and Israel)? We'd be happy to entertain other workable solutions.

I fear China is about to discover what Russia already has: the iPad generation has no interest in war and conquest. They can barely leave the couch. It is too late for subtle - make your move now or not at all. 😐

I am surprised (and a little impressed!) that they chose an R rated movie. 😆

You and I read the FT article very differently. Maybe I need a few drinks and then try reading it again. 😋

The art of the chase is half the fun! 😆

Ah! Now I am caught up - thanks! Some of the men I meet are pieces of art, so I feel fully covered! 😉😉

Is the cooking class and boxing academy references an inside joke? I think I miss the context...

I actually think the clock on his regime's downfall has started already... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/22/putin-regime-will-collapse-without-warning-says-freed-gulag-dissident

Good insights! Thanks for sharing. A little off topic - could you share what the most popular snacks are? I've been to plenty of 7-Elevens (how could you not when in Thailand!) but I usually stick to my tried and tested. I'd like to try some of the popular snacks.... 😁

At least she claims to feel guilty. Nicki Minaj never did when she was spreading wild rumors. https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-58571353

Well, no. I will let @stevenkesslar speak for himself, but I think Russia fears that the Ukraine will start to act like Russia. It is okay for Russia to accept military aid and support from its friends (China and North Korea), but it is unacceptable for Ukraine to receive the same from its friends? Why the double standard? Would it be okay for Ukraine's leadership to threaten to turn Moscow into a "giant melted spot"?

My Friday the 13th prediction is that when the lock up on sale of DJT stock expires next Friday (20th), Trump will sell and leave all his supporters holding the empty bag when the stock collapse.

Of course he is doubling down - now it is cats, dogs and geese. Racist loser. https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/donald-trump-doubles-down-on-conspiracy-theory-that-immigrants-are-eating-peoples-pets/news-story/406247b28621b63c319af5941b7b2aa1

So true! Choosing between politicians is always a choice between the worst society has to offer. That's not new. But let's look at the silver lining - at least we get to choice. When it comes to some other countries (cough...Russia) there is no choice given.

No need to worry, I am sure they will have it fixed soon! 😆

I am a big fan of Brazil nuts! 😛 Oh wait, that's not what you meant...sorry, my bad! 🤭

I am shocked to hear that Brigadier Bone Spurs believes the laws and rules do not apply to him. Shocked, shocked, I tell you! 😜

We all know threesomes can be hard to control! 😋

I've always struggled more with East to West. Just my personal experience.

Insiders have been selling the stock - that is usually a bad sign. Some have sold a quarter or more of their holdings, as they are able. https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/trump-media-ceo-nunes-sells-over-630k-in-company-stock-93CH-3585825
