Vote buying has been around before Thaksin. The Dem Party has the deepest pockets with their big corporate sponsors. Vote buying don't guarantee loyalty at the ballot boxes. Korn even admitted that fallacy. Ultimately people choose the government based on what they can deliver to the betterment of the people. Thaksin did delivered and the people responded because they like what he did.

With the return of democracy, all things change including human rights and rule of law because people can vote the government out if nothing improved.

The usual uproar and surge of support for Trump's endless crimes but it will die off. Fact is that prosecuting ex-leaders is common in democracies even in developed countries such as France,South Korea and Italy. America democracy although flawed have faced tough challenges before and survived. Trump and his acolytes are just a tiny speck in US democracy history. The majority voting population of USA are educated, informed and progressive in their views and projected their views in the 2020 and mid-term elections. The Trump circus will not last and his hate mobs will fade back into the woodwork when there is no Trump.

Allen Weisselberg Might Have Just Flipped on Donald Trump
Eric Loh replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
That angle on changing lawyers may have little bearing on whether he flipped. The lawyers were seen as not Trump enough. There still a chance that he will flipped from impending legal perils. https://www.salon.com/2023/03/30/allen-weisselberg-dumps-funded-lawyer--legal-experts-think-that-could-mean-he-flipped/ -
Allen Weisselberg Might Have Just Flipped on Donald Trump
Eric Loh replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Weisselberg has being living in this kind of condition at Riley’s Island Jail protecting the real criminal living in comfort. He will soon be thrown under the bus when he flipped. He will learn that blind loyalty to Trump is conditional and a heavy price to pay. -
NY grand jury votes to indict Donald Trump, sources tell CNN
Eric Loh replied to Scott's topic in World News
He has stated his stance firmly at CPAC that he will stay in the race even if indicted. He is like Macbeth consumed with a narcissistic belief that his base will carry him over in the primary. The favourable polls are giving him confidence that he can prevailed. The indictments breathes life into his grievance driven election run. He will not quit unless the polls dump on him and his sycophants turned on him which is highly unlikely. He may even go scrorched earth to his party if everything goes against him. Bottomline is that he will not likely to quit the race. -

There is also a element of Trump's fatigue seeping into the mindsets of his supporters. As in the Waco's election rally, attendees were seen walking away from the rally within 30 minutes of his speech. They see nothing new in his speech but regurgitation of playing the victim card and whining about the investigations and decided they have enough and walk off. His endless legal troubles will likely wear down support from his base and to the wider audience.- 481 replies

Let see if he will keep mum in the courtroom. Normally attorneys advise clients to keep mum but can he. He likely to be caught up in the moment and make silly statements that will not help his situation and can land him in other problems. -

In the words of Lord Theodan "So it begins". Fani Willis and Jack Smith to follow. -
The NRA customer base and the Republican supporters base are the same white Republican men living in the rural areas. They formed the highest rates of gun ownership according to Pew Research. The NRA and Republicans have a synergistic relationship. NRA relies on a disputed interpretation of the 2nd amendment while the Republicans are strong supporter of the 2nd amendment. Lot in common that taking a heavy human toil of gun violence.

It’s this kind of obstruction for sensible gun control laws that frustrate majority of people and allow mass shooting to happen again. GOP had their victory lap at the expense of worrying parents that next shooting would not be in their kid’s school. https://www.wmur.com/article/nh-gun-bills-defeated-red-flag-law-background-checks-323/43265601

Six in 10 Americans don't want Trump to be president again: 2024 poll
Eric Loh replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Don has gift wrapped the security of South Korea to Kim with his intention of withdrawing US troops and stopping the annual war games. The relationship between South Korea and US was fragile and weak which played into the hands of Kim. There will be no peace in the Korean peninsula as long as there is no peace treaty. -
Can Thailand’s political parties take us out of the middle-income trap?
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Will need a visionary leader, political stability and investment in human capital. All 3 conditions are needed if Thailand wish to escape the middle income trap. -
If Jack Smith is successful and implicit her role in the Jan 6 insurrection, she can be banned for the next re-election. Georgia voters had enough of her and ask the court to determine whether she can be banned under the 14th Amendment. A federal judge had indicated that she likely allow the election challenge.

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.

What to make of Kim Jong Un and North Korea's barrage of weapon tests
Eric Loh replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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.
