Biden warns Trump will try to ‘steal’ midterm elections
It’s NOT about election security because US elections are already secure and there’s no evidence at all of outcome-determinate voter fraud and what little there is has been committed by Republican voters. It’s a poll tax on the poor and low income people the GOP is afraid won’t vote for them. Republican policies aren’t popular so they have to suppress votes in order to win elections. Thai’s are issued government ID for a few hundred baht. They don’t have to spend thousands of baht to get a passport they don’t need and won’t use in order to vote. In the Netherlands, and most other democracies , government issued ID, sufficient to vote with are provided at low or no cost. In the Netherlands, people are automatically registered to vote. All of them! Not just the voters one party prefers. Ch.

Thailand Shuts Over 7,000 Cannabis Shops Amid Regulatory Shakeup
Nobody has ever died from using cannabis. In the 1970's The Netherlands decriminalised softdrugs which separated cannabis from the dangerous drugs like heroin and amphetamines so customers could legally and safely buy cannabis without being offered hard drugs from illegal street dealers. That move saved lives.

Flu Explodes in Thailand: 160K Cases in One Month, Deaths Rise
It’s easy to tell the uneducated by their comments on viruses. So much passion for something that, according to themselves , has zero effect on them. Don’t want to get the seasonal flu shot? Don’t get one. Simple. Vaccinated strangers pose zero threat to you.

American Passport, Disregard last three pages. OK
My US passport issued in 2019 had the last three pages reserved for Endorsements but my latest passport issued in 2024 allows visa stamps on every page until the end of the book. Looks like someone figured out that endorsements didn’t need a special page and the vast majority of travelers don’t ever get endorsements so now they don’t have to waste three out of the 48 pages.

Current Visa procedure in Savannaket re: appointments
What is the current procedure for applying for a visa at the Savannahkhet consulate? it used to be show up drop off your paperwork. Pay the fee. Come back the next afternoon and pick up your passport with the visa. Now I’ve heard that you need to go there one day to make an appointment, go to the appointment the next day and then come back on the third day to pick up your passport and visa. How do you make an appointment? When do you need to go there to make an appointment? What are their hours for appointments? Is the appointment for the next day or could it be further out? Is it possible to make appointments online? TIA

Those who fell for marriage, how do you cope knowing you've ruined your life?
No sob story here. I was married, got divorced a decade later and ended up with a house in my name.

Facebook Scams Cost Thailand Over 718 Million Baht Last Year
Facebook doesn’t GAF about scam ads as long as they make money. They’re obvious scams, a full block pallet of working, returned Apple products plus free shipping anywhere in the world for $49.95. Sounds legit, right? Users report them and they never remove the ads. I’d think FB would have some legal culpability.

New Alcohol Control Bill Nearly Finalised; Set for December House Vote
Yeah, the “legal” stuff that’s responsible for the majority of most fatal vehicle accidents and chronic disease. The “legal” stuff that has an LD50, that people actually die from if they consume too much. The original date rape drug. The drug responsible for most domestic violence. If you’re taking about cannabis, it’s now legal too and it doesn’t have all the negatives that alcohol does. In every place that’s (re)legalized cannabis, both opiate and alcohol use decreased as did automobile accidents, violence and other crimes and social problems.

I can only hope the violence toward Trump voters doesn't escalate.
It's technically possible not to wear any hat. That solves your problem of false dichotomy.

Donald Trump’s New Tax Promise: Eliminating Income Taxes for Americans Abroad
If I pay taxes in Thailand I just enter the amount on line 8 of IRS form 1116 and deduct that amount from my U.S. taxes owed. There's no double taxation. He's making a campaign promise to fix a problem that doesn't even exist. Expats in Thighland aren't interested in what you're peddling DonOld.

Are these people stark raving mad?
I recommended that you consult a doctor. That's my opinion, not a medical opinion. I'm giving you advice, not medical advice. Maybe your doctor can explain the distinction...

Are these people stark raving mad?
It depends. If you think Trump will accept the results of the election this time when he didn't the last time when it's patently obvious that he lost then yes, a trip to a psychologist might be in order. What are your qualifications to judge my opinions? Are you trying to say my opinion is wrong? I supported my position with facts, not feelings and not smartass remarks either. So yes, I definitely think a mental health screening for you is in order.
