I can't help but suspecting this may have something to do with events of years past (like Tak Bai) and the possibility that the former PM behind it will be returning to LOS.

Is this post from a degenerate who impregnated his own sister, set fire to a whites-only orphanage, gave oral relief to various barnyard animals, and robbed a blind beggar? Hey, I'm just asking. A flag-waving patriot like yourself will respect my right to free speech, of course.

“At any other place, his career would be over,” Yet another so-called comedian who doesn't do comedy. Like Kamau Bell. (How's that for equal time?)

Teflon is easily ruined with Brillo pads . . . Just like on the cop & lawyer television shows in the US, when something is off with the surveillance footage you know something is indeed off.

Except for roller derby, where anything goes! Calling out racial/cultural epitaphs is going to provoke confrontation, no way to condone that.

If you changed your login to I you can argue constantly with nearly any poster. Example: Yesterday I went to the beach response: No I didn't, and why do you care what I did yesterday? If you're considering doing this, get a life.

Did he say "I did it because that camera makes me look fat!" ? Hey, I'm just asking.

Recall that thing where his hands and lips turned black & blue, I think it was around the end of last year. This is the guy who stole a SCOTUS nomination from a previous Dem president, giving us the paleo-conservative SCOTUS roster we have today. Sick or not, he is an odious piece of work. I wish him a comfortable retirement.

Like this fellow, having to brave the wilds of Australia https://www.aljazeera.com/program/101-east/2022/4/21/thailands-fearless-cop

That was when he was PM and went to the UN. Big-time loss of face when he landed and was told his speech was cancelled because he wasn't PM anymore. 2008 he was a mere citizen, but the legal outlook was not good. That was his last known time here.

Not just $$$ but clout: "do you know who my father is?" Your post brings to mind a recent SCOTUS appointee whose hearings involved a lot of discussion of alcohol consumption. Recently read some scuttlebutt that he is more of an incompetent idiot than people think he is, but I wouldn't know. Oh yeah, he went to Yale Law.

AP has picked it up https://apnews.com/article/thailand-thaksin-prime-minister-return-1beaec2725eed1a01d8bb33d5adb0a3e When he left in 2008 he said he was going to the Beijing Olympics. Has been sitting in the stadium this whole time?

You said the secret word! Russia raises the maximum age of conscription as it seeks to replenish Ukraine forces Maybe TAT will raise its figures in light of this. I don't think tourists is the right word.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 7 This was a surprise over the past weekend, episode involves the ST-based cartoon "Lower Decks." Posting this because I think some may have missed it.

In usual Fox fashion they snatched this and ran with it: someone made remarks about how well Blacks folks had it under slavery recently. Yeah, how come they didn't appreciate the opportunity to learn to pick cotton, and so on. So this pea-brain brings it over to the holocaust. Gutfeld is the personification of a backed-up toilet.

Check out Seth Meyers, if he ever gets back on. Political satire-wise, he's on Colbert's level. Gave up on Daily Show but started dropping in when they were shuffling hosts. Don't care for any of the Jimmys. These days I'm watching old SVUs from the first seasons. Man, they had some ugly actors in them, and they brought in models to (try to) act to balance the cast out.

Almost as intelligent of a choice as paying $44billion for the company. Should have used a derriere for the new logo, everyone will think of him whenever they see it.

So one guy has a German Shepherd and the other has a Serbian wife. The GOP has nothing to run on other than the promise of imperial presidency: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/17/us/politics/trump-plans-2025.html And the "retribution," whatever the hell he means by it.

Ok, waiting to see who will be the first to admit they saw Barbie . . .

European director, that makes it an art film in the US. Some Americans are suckers for anything with a European pedigree. I guess I was too for a while. Then my local art cinema hyped this French movie, which turned out to be lower valued made-for-TV tripe. That was it for me. Johnny Guitar: I've seen it a few times over the decades, each time it seems like a different movie. Recently saw this vid of Scorsese talking about it, that had an effect.

What does this guy do for a living anyway?

Probably trying to avoid death threats to himself and his family, like this poor guy: https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2023/07/when-this-meteorologist-talked-about-climate-change-he-received-death-threats/

For you US conservatives with short memories, recall that the GOP president previous to 45 was W, who lumped together all American men who went to places like Thailand as sex tourists and pedophiles (ok, maybe his speechwriters did). You too may find yourselves subject to what this thread is about. Guilty until proven innocent. The weirdest thing about the DT fans is they think they will be excluded from his extreme plans because they voted for him. "But I'm not a pedophile!" "Uh-huh, that's just what a pedophile would say." And then there are people who use fear of these things for their own ends: https://www.thedailybeast.com/qanon-incited-her-to-kidnap-her-son-and-then-hid-her-from-the-law

This stuff has been going on a long time. When I first traveled to India in the 1970s it was near impossible to get a travel permit for that whole NE region of the country.
