But not Phar Lap. Or pavlova.

Got a knighthood from Lizzie too.
After he recommended the award.

Charged but not convicted of receiving bribes.
Though someone was convicted of bribing him.

twerent me wot mentioned Phar Lap but I will comment.

How did an Unzud horse born in 1926 get a Thai name ? (‘Lightning’)
It didn’t. It got a Chinese name. A word shared with Thai.

Wow. Great info. I was a believer in the, what is now revealed to be, urban myth of the Thainess of the name.

Not an uban myth. Lightning is ฟ้าแลบ (fáa lâep). Have no idea what it is in Chinese. Hear it everyday in rainy season.

Well, according to Doc's article, it is "far lap" in this particular Chinese dialect.

Bit dated and maybe already posted but 45s sanction craziness will bring nothing but pain to US. More countries already making same move.

Whoop de fucking doo.

Venezuela is producing about as much oil as Oman, and what they do produce they are basically giving to the Chinkies to pay back all the money they've stupidly borrowed and pissed away.

Means next to nothing.

you're one of those guys who thinks it's normal to not be able to remember what you had for breakfast yesterday, right?

i was posting about the midterms an hour before 2020 came up:

though, she's not the only one who's making mistakes.

the dems were on their way to taking back the house (and possibly even the senate) when they decided to try to take down kavanaugh with the attempted rape allegations.

not sure what they thought it would achieve. they thought trump would withdraw his name for consideration?

the dems overplayed their hand and riled up the republican/trump base and even merged the two bases who will come out strong for republican congressmen in a few weeks.

hillary says that dems should not be civil till dems at least take back the house.

the senate looks impossible for dems to take now.

what if dems don't take back the house?

will hillary and the dems go completely bonkers?



trump's filling up stadiums wherever he goes telling supporters to get the polls and bring friends with them.

Its the Govt that fucked up not the people and its the people that are suffering big time when countries like the US slap sanctions on the country. So people like trump are party to early deaths, increased pain and suffering none of which the people deserve and maybe if Trump and his ilke got a personal taste of it they'd take a moment before making these blunt decisions.

Actually what am i talking abaout its Trump the fukin otango hued idiot

so, ant, what do you think?

what is there for the dems policy-wise, besides immigration and health care in 2020?

the "trump's a jerk" line might not be enough.

for those who think trump is making good trade deals for the u.s. (insulted canada and mexico before the new deal was signed), taking on china, defending the border, etc.

"he's our jerk", as it were, is probably a feeling many of those who will vote for him in 2020 have.

You might want to do a bit of research on Realclearpolitics.com as it is known to be a biased site with no data integrity. I can assure you that here in the USA, everyone is getting tired of the Trumpster except for the totally dillusioned.

go on then: use a source to compare trump's poll numbers between election day and now.

b.t.w.: rcp includes polls from the wa post, reuters, nbc, gallup, cbs, bloomberg, etc.

Actually it's not a bad site at all, because it allows you to see who is being fucking ridiculous (i.e. Rasmussen) and pulling the average.

The majority of Americans still think he's a bald orange c u n t though.

I’ve told you repeatedly why I don’t bother with you in these threads.

Kindly respect my decision. Thank you.

Trump will walk it in just watch,,reason, he looks after America first, unlike those who went before him, so get used to it,it's Trump.

Trumptard’s gonna Trumptard!
