Dems filter out garbage like MTG. She simply don’t have the qualifications to be a Democrat. Meanwhile Republican Party will always have room for incompetent nutjobs like Greene, Santos and Trump. The party is gutless to get rid of the crazies who now control the party. The old GOP party of Reagan is dead and likely will not recover.

Something wrong with your logic.

She still minor league in geography prowess compare to Trump and to her credit she swiftly made the correction. https://www.indy100.com/news/trump-geography-world-map-fail-japan-finland-greenland-can-t-name-ukraine-9307641

Meeting ended with the usual routine run of the mill joint statement about follow-up negotiation. That's it. No peace terms and neither was Trump involved in follow-up talks. Really a much published meeting that ended with a whimper.

What peace terms were offered by Trump? The only offer was to take Kim home on Air Force One.

Twice meeting were held between 2018-2019 when Trump had warm loving rekationship with Kim and twice broke down. Meeting was over in a day. Trump was seeking publicity not peace. He did nothing to progress any peace with North Korea.

Rest of the world, parents send their children to schools knowing that they will be safe and knowing that they will see them back home. Tragic situation whereby common sense safety supported by overwhelming majority held hostage by Republicans and the NRA for power.

GOP lawmakers will offer their usual thoughts and prayers and a whole lot of deflections including absurd solutions until the next mass shootings. If they don't see the lunacy in this, you might not only have a problem, they are the problem.

Trump was taken out by the people not by people he threatened. The people realized the lies, corruptions and the disregards for law and order, norms and traditions and voted him out. The institutions were strong even to withstand Trumps assaults on democracy. He served himself and not the people.

Prayut infamous words “ Khun Suthep and your masses of PDRC supporters are too exhausted. It’s now the duty of the army to take over the task”.

Interesting comment that the protest in 2014 was not a red and yellow clash. I tend to agree with you that the initial protest against Yinglucks amnesty was a Bangkok middle class spontaneous 'demonstration that drew hundreds of thousands of ordinary people into the streets. In fact, the red shirts were also against the amnesty due to the inclusion of murder charges related to the 2010 military crackdown in which 91 were killed. Protesters were ordinary Bangkokians and there were little signs of yellow shirts among the crowd. Soon after the amnesty bill was rejected by the Senate, the ordinary Bangkokians dispersed and the yellow shirts lead by the PDRC continued with more violent protests. Red shirts soon appeared with sporadic violence, shootings and bomb attempts. The protest by then has been hijacked by the PDRC for a purposeful agenda of toppling Yingluck's government.

Not exactly. Most of the protesters left the demonstration after Yingluck withdrew the amnesty. The paid protesters mainly from the South continued with the demonstration and intensified the protests. They have an agenda that is what cost Yingkuck her premiership.

What exactly is the swamp. Is it a place where grifters enrich themselves with federal contracts and curruptly influence government policy or a place filled with inefficient bureaucrats and leeches. Both fits perfectly defining Trump and his adminstration.

He will be indicted this week. Job done. Next multiple indictments in Fulton County and the crem dela crem will be the smackdown criminal indictments by Jack Smith. Trump ambition will be finito by then and the country sigh in relief. USA is a great country and doesn't need to stain their image with a Holmesian bad man and an even worst President.

His first election rally pledged policies to improve people lives. I am kidding. Same old victimhood, lots of self glorification, childish name calling and threats to his enemies. Strange people travelled to listen to such garbage that has does nothing to improve their lives.

Every time you have a post coup government, it’s a mini Zi. Even if you don’t read the Thailand constitution , no reason to post such asinine nonsense.

He pick his first election rally in Waco Texas on the anniversary of the infamous shootout. Poor judgement, coincidental or provocative. You be the judge.

Wise thing to do. You have done your fair share of defending the indefensible behavior of an incorrigible man. Cringe to think of him as the former President of a great country.

Desperate attempt to contradict and denying the facts.

I like ask you what you think is the message behind Trump holding a baseball bat with a photo of Alvin Bragg. He could have choose to hold a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates and not a menacing baseball bat. To decent people, that’s intimidating method of gangster. You think different?

To Maga folks that’s entertainment like a scene from Untouchable. To decent people, that is gross and uncouth behavior of any ordinary people and he was once a US President. That is as vulgar as it can get. Feel sorry for you.

He still think that he has military power and political relevance to make such empty threat. He has neither and facing an embarrassing election outcome. He has done harm to the country image and stunted the economy for a decade. Time for him to go quietly. History will not have kind words for him

Provision for Senate appointment and duties can be gleaned from the The Transitory Provision under the Transitory Provisions of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand. Long read but contained the panels responsibly for senators selection which include the NCPO. NCPO has been formally dissolved in 2019. The Provision is transitory and fulfilled the purpose at that post coup period. The Transitory Provision also allows amendment. I will be least surprised if the next civilian government make those amendments for an elected upper house and as you said “ right direction”. https://www.senate.go.th/assets/portals/1/fileups/419/files/senate Eng.pdf

Does has a semblance of Nazism and Cultural Revolution censoring and banning of books. Lets hope that this does not developed into attacks of teachers and school board members that stood up to them. The radical GOPs may release a frenzy of woke and CRT vigilantes that they can't control.

Let me re-phrase. Why they not win with the deepest pockets. You do sound like you know Thais voters mindset and behavior well. Let’s hear your thoughts. Thanks.
