I wonder if this had something to do with the bust, came out around the same time https://www.aljazeera.com/program/101-east/2023/8/17/inside-thailands-child-sex-tourism-trade

The late queen's revenge against what is now the USA for The Revolutionary War. Quoth she: "send this dipstick across the pond, they deserve him!" Rumor is his mum named him that at birth, but she actually was saying "take him down to the piers and toss him off."

There is buzz that Pheu Thai is no longer in his pocket, but that could be a ploy of some sort. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/opinion/2023/08/20/opinion-thaksin-returning-pheu-thai-in-bed-with-military-parties-what-about-thailand/ One thing I learned from following him and his antics back in the '00s: nearly everything he says is the opposite of the truth. Like the first time he returned to LOS from being on the lam he said he was no longer getting involved in politics. Even the gal doing the English language news on TV said "yeah, right."

Great example of their accusations being their own admissions. If they had the goods on Biden or anyone else there would be new F-channel alerts every half-hour until the 2024 election. But who is the one that likes to say anything against him is a witch hunt/hoax/fake news etc? So Tapper admits DT was right. Once. Would F-channel and RT made such admission about anyone outside of the US fascist initiative?

And if they decide to welch on the deal and lock him away Monte Christo-style what is he going to do about it, other than hope his lawyers get it into court?

The bargirls for the most part will not gowityu with Thai guys, or any Asian-looking men. I've had American guys of Asian descent tell me about this. I know of more than one who cut their holidays short because of this. One even flew from Bkk directly to Rio.

For myself the reality reset is the way the GOP members and right-wing media are openly fostering an anti-US attitude. Merely being against the VN War back when was enough to brand you a traitor, an America hater, "love it leave it!", "go to USSR if you don't like it here," etc. But now the media outlets that promote themselves as small-minded conservative patriots are zealously denouncing anything American in world affairs, down to US players in international sports. You have to wonder how the other countries' players interpret this. Lots more of this kind of thing out there that is all pretty obvious. Again it goes back to the orange one at the top, probably the single- most egregious act in US geo-political history is the US president going before the TV cameras of the world and saying he puts in faith in a blatant foreign adversary over his intelligence agencies (Helsinki). Watch the anti-American patriots respond to this with a smiley. Then they should shop for a flight to Hungary or Belarus, one-way ticket. Russian state TV celebrates 'brave' Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz for undermining Ukraine Turn the clock back 50 years and substitute VN for Ukraine, and name 2 other Congress members at the time: it would be a major scandal.

$20, same as downtown. (this is a punchline from an ancient joke, rumored to originate from Egyptian hieroglyphics. )

You flatter him, he hates paying his own bills, much less anybody else's. There's been buzz that Mr Smith may freeze his assets, seize his funds. I'm sure that's got his attention and he's put out of reach/hidden all that he could by now.

He's always whinging and playing the victim. Am I suppose to believe the rural folk are ok with this? He's coming off like a wimp. This ain't gonna play well in the places that refuse to sell Bud Light.

Here's one even more extreme: Kari Lake said she is not going to run for The Senate because she is governor of AZ and will not relinquish her position. And here I thought she was the official plumber at Mar-A-Lago. When it comes to running for public office, heed the great words of Chico Marx "there is no sanity clause."

Talk about stupid! Prepare for what the guy who organized the Charlottesville tiki-torch rally said when they caught up with him: hey, i didn't mean any of that!

Yeah, same thing they gave Manafort. He spent most of his days on the phone, but it was the usual "ooo, he's not supposed to do that!" and didn't get much further. Maybe now that there is an adult on the case it will make a difference. Anything regarding "honor system," respect for law, decency etc has been flushed down the golden toilet, how can you not see that? But you bring up a question I've been asking for years now: will his security detail become his captors?

My over-30 self went back to university to study engineering in the 1980s. The school I went to is known for its social conscience. Over the six years I went there (some semesters were only part-time as I had to support myself) I had to sit through this three times (would have been 4 but I ducked one) The Day After Trinity I dubbed it The Passion of JRO. Message received. I have no intention of seeing this new movie. Don't care for the lead actor either.

Will there be a doggie rehab unit for when they sniff so much drugs they become addicted?

Of course you know he'll violate, right?

And if he dies before the trial that means he goes down as a winner. The man has a very good mind, as he'd tell you himself.

That's the GOP's 2024 election platform.

Hey, not so fast! I'm waiting for her to be taken to task for this one https://www.businessinsider.com/sidney-powell-tried-getting-dod-rescue-mission-qanon-conspiracy-theory-2021-11?op=1 Surely their must be some US law covering making crank calls to The Pentagon. Going into the ninth year of the MAGA 24/7 reality show I doubt many of the stalwarts have what it takes to admit that they have let themselves be fooled by this charlatan for so long. But on the other hand I think a whole lot of them don't really see much difference between supporting DT and voting for their fave contestant on American Idol. Forget about him drawing in new voters, his only issue is stolen 2020 election. As for GOP politicians I think Comer is near the end of his wits defending the nonsense and is close to cracking; keep an eye out for anti-orange contagion in Congress.

The real man is revealed.

The pundits on US TV are theorizing he's finally got the message: SHUDDUP!! I say not so fast. It's like when somebody is trying to quit drinking, and saying "hey, he's doing great! It's been 3 hours so far." If there was anything real to that document they would have put it out, not play this sleazy "but wait there's more!" salesman bs. He'll reveal it at a rally or something, maybe run it at the same time as the debate. Be a shame to waste a perfectly good pile of fertilizer.

After hearing that find me votes telephone call it is ludicrous that anyone would could think otherwise. I suspect we may get reports of similar entreaties from the other six 'battleground' states.

Hey farang, you sound like a haole apologist. But you're at least a notch up from pale-skinned blonde people explaining to me that themselves are not haoles because, well, I don't recall what they said because they weren't making sense. Whatever gets you through life. My response was to acknowledge that I understand where the quote in the OP is coming from.

They are going to appeal anyway. If the bail is revoked and they keep him in the cage until the verdict is in he will be in a right hurry to move it along. House arrest means access to comms, so he'd be able to keep intimidating, like they caught Manafort doing. They should take away his Secret Service detail, let his patriot army take care of him: https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-news-2663598788/ Do the crime, do the time.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective: the man sees himself as a hero and liberator, she sees a fool and his money.
