  1. Excellent post. Just like to add that no Dems in Congress came out strongly to support her as regards to the email controversy unlike the Elise Stefanik, Kevin McCarthy, Mike Turner etc etc rushing to contort themselves in defense of the indefensible Trump. In fact the mere mention of Clinton's travails sent Dems scrambling to avoid nor defend her. Not those GOP cowards worshipping Trump.
  2. What more to say about the national debt than that it’s taken a fifth of tax revenues to pay just the interest rate that can spend on meaningful policies to benefit the people. The worse aspect of this huge growing debt is that the dysfunction political system is not geared to do anything about it. The Rep Party need to contribute to policies for the people. Only one party is working for the people. The other working for one man.
  3. Trump’s tax cut benefit his wealthy donors. Biden’s student loan debt benefit the educated young which is the Dem base. Seem common play in every incumbent governments anywhere in the world.
  4. You be proud to know that the antiquated US electoral college system still in used in countries like Burundi, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Myanmar, Pakistan and Estonia.
  5. Russia state media has already claimed that Moscow are studying top secret documents. https://www.newsweek.com/moscow-already-studying-top-secret-records-trump-raid-russian-media-1733440
  6. I guess we can say that he was hosed pants down & caught red-handed.
  7. Espionage Act carry major personal risk for Trump. 18 U.S.C. 1519 fine and/or not more than 20 years imprisonment. 18 U.S.C. Fine and/or not more than 3 years imprisonment. 44 U.S.C. Fine and/or not more 10 years imprisonment. He may have to ask Biden for a pardon.
  8. He can't attend the APEC meeting as PM in november if he is still suspended. That tailored shirt will stay in his cardboard for a long while.
  9. He was the army chief when he lead the coup. Just which army unit will follow his order now. He is a retired ex army officer when he became a politician.
  10. The opposition parties petition was for the court to rule on the constitutionality of Prayut’s tenure. Court accepted the petition 9-0. The suspension was not part of the petition. Court went further to suspend him with 5-4 ruling. Perhaps to give him sufficient time to consider resignation. I think he is done.
  11. The Courts have always been stalwart defenders of the conservative ruling class which include the military. This ruling 5-4 to suspend Prayut is a big swing from tradition and I think has legs. He has lost the support of the ruling class which mean he will be cast aside. The move is for Prawit who is next in line to be interim PM but will he take the role. Will see.
  12. Good lawyers are avoiding him like the plague. He has to resort to hiring mediocre lawyers who couldn’t file a proper court document and in the appropriate jurisdiction. He is definitely not surrounding himself with the smart minions.
  13. Postively MC valid for a month. Example if you get your MC on 15 Aug, it will be valid till 14 Sept. Just did mine yesterday.
  14. Really mind boggling just how many classified documents that he kept. There was the initial batch of more than 150 documents marked as classified was recorded and retrieved by the US National Archives in Jan. Aides to Trump gave the DOJ a second batch in June while the third batch was seized from the recent FBI search. The sheet amount of classified documents in his possession will definitely put him away for a long while. https://www.reuters.com/legal/over-300-classified-documents-recovered-trumps-florida-home-ny-times-2022-08-23/
  15. Reported by Forbes that the lawsuit was assigned to federal Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee. and a member of the Federalist Society. Perhaps a conflict of interest here and should recuse herself.
  16. You mean praising Xi for extending his Presidential tenure for life and adding that maybe America should try that. He looked up to Xi for consolidating power and in his widest dream hope to do the same. Put him away as he is a threat to America.
  17. It will be laugh off by the court. The search warrant was authorized by a federal court upon the required finding of probable cause. Trump and his light weight lawyers are throwing the proverbial ketchup on the wall and hope some will stick.
  18. Half a century of service to the people to lead the fight against deadly diseases and help save lives around the world. Enjoy your next chapter in your distinquished life. Shame that he was hounded by the right-wingers for trying to stop the spread of Covid-19.
  19. PR stuff for his base. More grifting on his part.
  20. Come on Mitch, grow a pair and asked Trump how his crazy family benefited from China. While on it, ask Trump why he has a bank account in.China. U.S. President Donald Trump’s tax records show a bank account in China controlled by Trump International Hotel Management, according to the New York Times, as part of its investigation into his tax returns.
  21. Creating trade wars were not good for the economy. The net loss to the country - $114.2 billion consumers paid minus the net production gains and tariff revene - was $24.9 billion. Country worse off in trade wars waged by Trump's MAGA movement.
  22. Citizen Trump unprotected by DOJ policy on sitting President is more vulnerable for indictments. Like you, I want him indicted yesterday.
  23. Out of curiosity, have you ever watch progressive and perhaps even liberal news outlets and podcasts to get yourself a more balance train of thoughts. Kind of not thrusting yourself mindlessly into the rabbit hole of far right and QAnon.
  24. I am not anti Trump but pro law and order and no one is above the law even the orange one. I am also hopeful justice will be done and his followers will accept the verdict without resorting to violence.
