Can you explain to us why Trump demanded that the DOJ release the warrant when he himself had a copy and had already provided it to Breitbart? Is he senile too? Or just lying and manipulating his ardent followers who slurp up massive contradictions from the horse's mouth without the slightest compunction? Remember what he did just a bit earlier this week and his quotation about it. "On the campaign trail in 2016, Trump bashed Hillary Clinton after some members of her staff invoked the amendment during a congressional investigation. "You see the mob takes the Fifth," he said during one rally in Iowa. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"" Must be dizzying to spin so wildly and in so many directions all at once.

They undercooked the Amok. It got up and started running.

Horses gone? Quick! Bolt the barn door!

Careful Steven! By proxy, you're actually criticizing his boss, the great man you have admired slavishly since he stole power in a coup. Wouldn't want to go back on years of undeserved praise and defense for the sake of ganja now, would you? Perhaps you ought to try some, could maybe help your muddled brain.

Far Left. LOL. How little you understand about politics. Bernie Sanders would be a Centrist politician in Canada.

Of course. But you understand what I was saying. This is not a controversial issue among the informed.

Yes. And they're a tiny minority. It's a big issue involving an enormous amount of scientists in a wide range of disciplines. The consensus is overwhelming.

Dude, you're welcome to join the discussion with those people (there are many) who are working in that aspect of Climate Science. I too work in related fields (forest conservation), but different ones than those. I have too much work to casually review the decades of effort in another field I haven't received specific training in. But understand that when I say "join the discussion", I mean do what you actually wrote. Do the research in a structured way and compile or source your data and publish your analysis in a credible publication (the bigger the better, but you'd want such groundbreaking stuff to get the widest distribution and receive the most criticism so you can be sure you've got it right). Then you'll be taken very seriously, and your research will be looked at with the aid of fine-toothed combs. Perhaps you're the One, the man who discovered the straw that broke the Climate Change back! You'd be applauded by all of your friends and the fossil fuel industry will lay gold and jewels at your feet. But until you do that, <deleted>. There is widespread consensus about Climate Change among a huge coalition of credible scientists working in a range of different fields whose data all points to the same conclusion.

Because they wish to follow the science that overwhelmingly backs such policy? Perhaps the eminent poster would care to provide their credentials and world-class research that has been peer-reviewed to open a reasonable discussion about minutiae of the policy or scientific consensus? Of course they wouldn't, because the "Climate Change is a hoax" crowd have long coalesced into a confederacy of dunces. But do tell us about it, now that you've exhausted your research on epidemiology or whatever other Youtube U you "graduated" from.

You've already gotten what you voted for. Enjoy it and accept your responsibility rather than continually whine against others who had much more sense than you and your ilk.

That's why he needed all those expensive watches, the alarms on his ordinary casio didn't work.

No doubt. You live in Thailand and moan like two cats courting in the middle of the night.

Are you this dense and ignorant of science? If so, why do you post publicly your lack of knowledge?

LOL! Here comes ol' Smedly from antediluvian times to proclaim that despite the decades of research showing the opposite, cannabis is actually addictive and doesn't have any medical benefits! Tell us about how women abandoning petticoats has affected the morals of youth!

Civil engineering, seeing as you're so interested. Despite your 3rd level education, you were unable to discern my point, that being the almost complete lack of technical expertise or experience amongst the vaccine and mask skeptics. That you are so interested in the minutiae of my degree yet unable to describe any technical aspects of your own (other than "3rd level") tells me I was correct.

Yes, they're so much more influenced by pornography in movies than by, oh, the dozen or so places selling sex openly that they walk or drive past every day on their way to school. I'm sure the dreaded porn affects them much more than their father having a mia noi who is only a few years older than they are.

No, not at all, although I may be better at maths and science than you since I'm an engineer. Or perhaps you're one too? Doubt it, since you're rabbitting on about pandemic response without acknowledging the millions of people who were saved by it. In my experience, practically none of the Google PhDs in Epidemiology that suddenly appeared have much if any of a technical background. But boy, they sure do learn quick! Seems I made a big mistake by studying and working in technical fields for years when all I needed was a few Youtube videos and Bob's Your Uncle!

Wow, all the amateur epidemiologists are back! Were you finally going back to uni to catch up on those noisome statistics courses you missed out on the first time? Excellent that y'all realized you were talking about things you hadn't a clue about so decided to swot up! Just wondering though how you managed to acquire decades of experience as well in that short time since you were last pontificating...

Exactly. Thank you for being honest. Now use the same calculus to assess the value of the unborn in comparison to that of the mother. The unborn do not in any case have any precedence over the living.

Yo! Mac! Mac Mickmanus! Did you see this post? Why haven't you responded? What would you do? You've responded to other posts since I sent this and you responded to my other posts about this topic. Simple question. What do you do? HELLO!!!!!

By the way, the person who wrote the original analogy observed that when he would post this on fora, he practically NEVER gets a response because everyone knows what the answer is including the so-called "right-to-lifers", hence they simply won't answer. Prove us wrong Mac!

Oh, you mean the Future Forward Party? Gee, what happened with those guys?

Okay...so first of all, PTP hasn't fielded this woman as their leader, this is the response of people to a NIDA Poll. You know, as in "I, Prayuth, NEED A Poll that shows I am a popular Prime Minister..." That he finished 3rd in a NEED A Poll is about as big a condemnation as you're likely to observe in this land when it comes to powerful people who gained it via having guns. Second of all, while your last sentence is true, why should it be accepted as being so? When it appears that there may actually be an independent candidate or party, he's sure to be quickly moved to the side (do you recall Thanathorn?). And don't think this is just the Military who were on board with that; the Democrats and Peua Thai would similarly be pleased to see him shuffled off to the sidelines. That's what they REALLY don't want! But second-worst is Thaksin, who for all of his bluster, lack of respect for institutions and corruption did something nobody else had previously done - pointed the government firehose of funds towards the North and Northeast and decentralized power to them. That's something they'll never forgive, and why he's still Public Enemy Number One. Once the people realized that this was possible, the genie was out of the bottle. Now they'll put him or his relatives or sock puppets back whenever they're allowed to do so. The biggest disappointment for me remains the pathetic attitudes of the Bangkokians and other Thai who know better but won't vote against their own interests because they're essentially beneficiaries of the corruption and, at the end of the day, aren't willing to suffer even minor inconvenience to get real change. Oh, and the even-more-pathetic foreign cheerleaders (Steven100, care to offer another full-throated defense of the powers-that-be?).

His Master's Voice:

You're not the sharpest tool in the shed. Yes, an elective surgery is one where it is performed at the request of the patient rather than required according to the medical necessity of their condition. However, this does not mean that a woman in this case goes "I want to abort my baby at 27 weeks" and the doctors go "well, she said she wanted to do it, so let's scrub up and get to it!" Are you really that ignorant of medicine and medical practice? Have you never been to a hospital? And while I don't have nor am I willing to do the research into how your maps or graphs were created, in a situation where the doctors examined this woman and discovered that her foetus would almost certainly have birth defects or other issues, or that the pregnancy was unlikely to reach term, or any host of other reasons, then she would have a choice to make. If she chose to abort, then that would be "elective", but does that describe this woman's situation in detail? It lumps her in with someone who discovers they are pregnant at 4 weeks and does a simple abortion. You clearly have little understanding of the realities of modern medicine and the situations of women, whom I will note don't rate a mention in your considerations. It's all about YOUR unborn baby's life. Women are not your vessels or property.
