  1. Now just where did he learn this election strategy to scare voters.
  2. 13% poll is a disaster for an incumbent party that is well funded and has the government apparatus in provinces to influence the elction campaign.
  3. Lies have consequences. Coming soon will be the Smartmatic $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit and anchors Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs and Jeanine Pirro named. as well as Sidney Powell and Giuliani. If successful this will hit Fox's bottom line after the Dominion settlement for $787.5. Shareholders will be furious as well as scared and may start start selling and could lead to more financial vulnerability.
  4. Will the investigation goes as far back as to Ireland.
  5. Galling. The GOP has the distinction of having many more notable and recent scandals involving the sexual abuse of minors and young students as well as a recent track record of reacting to them with a shrug. The chief excrement reportly barged into the dressing room while girls as young as 15 were changing in the Miss Teen USA pageant. Roy Moore, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz part of the steamy pile. Republican culture warriors better have a good look into the mirror as they smear the progressives as groomers
  6. Montana will join Afghanistan if the total tiktok ban is passed.
  7. The last 3 years gave seen the government rolled out a series of packages to ease the impact of the people like the 5,000 B per month to temporary and self employed workers for as long as 6 months. People get so use to free money and with the election looming, all key political parties are promising to the 50 m voters almost everything from steep increases in cash handouts and wages to suspending debt. Pledges from 9 major parties so far required about 3.14 T Baht per year. UTN pledge to triple cash handouts to welfare cardholders to 1,000B/month more than PPRP of 700B/month. It really just comes down to who's offering more money. With the expected increase in revenue and the reduction of state spending, it may is left to be seen whether the freebies are sustainable. Doubt the freesbies will affect any party's popularity. People are used to free money in last 3 years.
  8. What is clear is that power has shifted and the Eastern Tiger faction that has staged 3 coups in last 2 decades are marginalized. The rise of the King’s Guard has ellipse the military influence of the 3 Ps.
  9. The civilised world don't have 7,957 children and teens shot every year in USA.
  10. Not only the moral authority has gone but also the re-alignment of the military allegiance and the physical re-allocation of units stationed in Bangkok that were central in past coups. The next coup if any will not be a roll-over of the people and welcomed with flowers by the yellow shirts in Bangkok.
  11. It would should be. Join the rest of the civilised world.
  12. Don't see his party winning more than 25 seats to be eligible to nominate him as Premier candidate. UTN may get some party list seats and maybe in Chonburi where his Labour Minister Suchart is strong. In the south, he will be fighting against the incumbent Dem Party, PPRP and BJT and unlikely to gain much traction. In Bangkok, it will be a white wash for UTN as Bangkokians simply hate the sight of this abnoxious man. It will be good for the country not to have any remnants of junta allied parties in the the next government. 8 years of stagnated economic growth lead by an uninspiring temperament military strongman is enough.
  13. The solution is right in front of them and so obvious yet they clink on to a 200 years old antiquated Second Amendment written when the American colonies were obligated to defend a specific territory in the form of the militia against the fears of a foreign power attempting to invade the young country.
  14. I don’t dispute the approx $44 per barrel. Public domain information has that covered. I don’t know where your $5 per barrel source but is your assumption based on the massive tax relief that Russian government offer to oil companies to encourage production. Most recently, a trillion ruble tax break was given to Rosneft.
  15. Not a moral issue. US can continue to print and monetized debts as long as the dollar stay strong and demanded.
  16. Russia has to backed the ruble with gold demonstrate that the sanctions are having an effect on their economy. Their central bank has to fixed the value of the ruble to gold because of the imposed sanctions that lead to the ruble’s value plummeting crushing their economy.
  17. He left in 2020 but in minds of Qanon cultists he still in the Whitehouse.
  18. What matters is revenue not production and export levels. Low discounted prices affect revenue. Russia's federal budget revenues from oil and gas, the lifeblood of the country's economy, fell 43% year on year in March, while a quarterly profit-based tax was all that held revenues back from a monthly drop, the finance ministry said on Wednesday. Moscow relies on energy revenue, last year around 11.6 trillion roubles ($146 billion), to fund government spending, and has been forced to sell foreign reserves to cover a deficit stretched by the cost of its military operation in Ukraine. https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/russias-march-energy-income-drops-43-yy-quarterly-tax-supports-monthly-revenue-2023-04-05/
  19. GOP leaders like Trump and the gun loving party are the problem not the guns per se.
  20. Pardon the racist white extremist who harbored thoughts to hunt and kill people said the Law & Order Maga party echoed by the Governor. Shocking and disturbing return back to the reconstruction era.
  21. Well he got rid of the do nothing corrupt 45. The best thing Biden has done right for America. And he did that from the cellar. Too easy.
  22. Cringy too. To think that the GOP mantra is to protect children. A really sick Maga party.
  23. Placate the Trump’s base and signed away your chance to win over the broader national base. American’s broad support for abortion has risen since the overturning of Roe v Wade last June in most polls. DeSantis is in a no win situation to be taken seriously nation wide.
  24. Don’t let the hopeful side of you takeover your sensible side mate. Grasped the reality; Trump’s performative entertainment is only appealing to the 25%. The rest is sick and tire of his corrupt antics and give him an embarrassing send off in 2024. He simply don’t stand a chance and the Dems don’t even need Biden to give him a good old fashion beat down.
