You are not wrong when you said left and right have committed political violence. However left wing terror have decreased dramtically in the 1980s while the frequency and lethality of the right-wing, separatists and anti abortion terror increased, a trend that has continue. Threats of political violence mostly by the right-wingers have increased tenfold in the last 5 years since Trump's election with 9,625 incidents documented in 2020. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/10/29/23428956/political-attacks-increasing-far-right-congress-pelosi

US midterm elections: What's happened to economy under Biden?
Eric Loh replied to Scott's topic in World News
I will give you credit for providing a reason albeit ambiquous agenda for supporting your party unlike a more direct reason that Democrats never got over the Civil War. -
Biden to join ASEAN summit, Harris to attend APEC
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well at least he is attending demonstrating US commitment to the region unlike the previous POTUS who didn't attend the last meeting in PNG and was not missed. -
Lula da Silva will return to Brazil’s presidency in stunning comeback
Eric Loh replied to Scott's topic in World News
Not too sure of his direction but choosing a centrist running mate may provide some clue. Perhaps he won on that conciliatory platform. -
The man has been very busy posting on Truth Social. Brag about his endorsements, upcoming hate speech rallies and playing his victimhood card on the Mar-la-go search, Brazil’s election and even have time for the death of Jerry Lee Lewis. Nothing mentioned on attack of Paul Pelosi. Disappointing behavior of someone who was the former President.

Surely this kind of election threats can't be happening in USA, shining beacon of democracy. ???? As the Progressive International Movement state that "we cannot repy on the US to champion democracy around the world". Demoracy has been sliding since Trump infamous walk down the escalator. Assault on election, voting rights and the judiciary, spread of misinformation will contribute to stark partisan divide that will only worsened in years to come. That genie will not be put back into the bottle even after Trump has long passed. The radical right has evolved under Trump.

Chonburi FC Ends Contract with Its Player Involved in Drunk-Driving
Eric Loh replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
The right call by Chonburi FC to terminate the contract. Their manager resigned as he was linked with in the drinking session with the players. The club is popular with the people of Chonburi especially with the young and need to send a resounding message on discipline. -
Jury finds 3 men guilty of supporting plot to kidnap Michigan’s Gov. Whitmer
Eric Loh replied to Scott's topic in World News
I tell you why it still make me chuckle. Defund the police movement came about amid national outrage over the police killing of George Floyd and the outcry was for police reform. Contrasting with the snowflake reaction of the Maga folks to abolish the FBI because dear leader resort was searched. LOL. -
Jury finds 3 men guilty of supporting plot to kidnap Michigan’s Gov. Whitmer
Eric Loh replied to Scott's topic in World News
You Maga folks just make me laugh. 2 years ago, the same folks accused the left of trying to defund and abolish police altogether. Now the same Maga folks are calling for the abolition of the FBI. You got to get off this loony train. -
Maintaining political stability, free election and peaceful transfer of power are IMO the biggest hindrance to the economic woes facing Thailand. Just not too long ago, Thailand was touted as the 5th Asian Tigers after Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. Thailand has tremendous potential but has continously on a self destruction path. Vietnam and Indonesia (post Suharto) have able to maintain political stability and are seen as good investments locations. Empowering the voters will enhance voters participation that can progress and result in electing credible and honest government. Indonesia is a good example of that process. Thailand need step-up with structural reforms especially in education and robotics. These are long term apolitical reforms that require political stability, peaceful transfer of power and visonary leadership. Thailand has wasted 2 decades of growth due to political interference. The country can't survive with more of the same.

Former Trump aide gets 4 months for defying Jan. 6 committee
Eric Loh replied to Scott's topic in World News
Where to start. SB is a threat to society, democracy, dangerous political operative and guilty of contempt of Congress. Reason he was allowed bail was that the judge was a Trump appointee. He should be treated like every ordinary citizen and go straight to jail. -

Eric Loh replied to Scott's topic in World News
Travesty of justice by allowing Bannon to sleep at home awaiting appeal rather than straight to jail. He will be free as a bird for the expected long duration of the appeal process. Justice not served for an evil man. -
House January 6 committee votes to subpoena Trump during Thursday’s hearing
Eric Loh replied to Scott's topic in World News
Any idea of the lawyers that will represent Trump in this subpoena case? Last I heard that he has problem hiring which resulted in the Jan 6 committee delaying serving the subpoena. https://abcnews.go.com/US/jan-committee-find-trump-lawyer-wholl-accept-service/story?id=91735130
