France was overran by Argentina in the 1st half. If I recalled, France formation was 4-2-1-3 with 3 strikers and a very porous midfield. Not sure whether this formation was due to the players availability hit with illness before the match. Credit to the coach, he recognized the problem and put more bodies in the midfield and came back strongly. Rest was history. Great match.

Musk sets up Twitter poll asking if he should step down as head
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in World News
I think he has planned to step down from Twitter and put up this carefully crafted marketing ploy to be seen as congenial to the public. He know full that the public sentiment is negatively against him. He simply can't manage well all the companies spread out throughout the world. Simply put he has bitten more than he can chew. Tesla is floundering and he still have startup Neuralink and his tunneling firm to manage. He is stretching himself thin and he now knows it. -
People To Rise Up Against Senators-Picked PM: Thanathorn
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The big question is whether the political situation has changed following the passing of the previous royal. The previous political dynamics and those interwined personalities have either passed or in advance ages. The army constitution royally endorsed cemented the grip of the military over any future government and weakened the country biggest party. There are changes taking place in the new era that seem to weaken the military. Still we can't really be certain of the any paradigm shift knowing well that politics in Thailand in history are also in the state of flux. -
It’s some kind of far right fantasy to twist things around and try to make mundane stuff conspiratorial. Cuomo sacked because of his sexual misconduct. Soon after Jeff Zucker resigned too. Fox and CBS to have similar sackings and resignations due to sexual misconducts. CNN has to reorganize and Don Lemon has to move to daytime as he was an established face. Trump will fade away but CNN will still be around. No one really give a hoot to the NFT salesman.

It’s already an amazing run to reach the semi-final for Morocco. Hope they don’t lose heart and play to win 3rd placing with the same desire and hunger. 3rd placing in the World Cup will capped an historic achievement for a representative of the underdogs. Asia is all behind Morocco to win over Croatia.

IMO the appointment of Police Chief Damrongsak is to speed up the investigation and prosecution process. Previously, Pol Gen Srachate Hakparn (BJ), who is the depity national police chief was assigned to supervise the investigation, which was being handled by a police investigation team headed by the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau. This layered investigation process will slowed down the investigation which was criticized by Chuwit as being "too slow". In response, Damrongsak decided to take charge personally. He has lots to prove as he will retire in 2023. Prayut also has vested political interest to have those criminally involved prosecuted.

Mass Migrant Crossing Floods Texas Border Facilities

I guess that even for political purposes, it wouldn't be a popular decision when majority of Floridians have been vaccinated and majority favour vaccination mandate in polls. A waste of tax payer money like his publicity migrant stunt. He is still riding on a high after his big win and behaving cocky.

He has being a target since 2004 whe he exposed police corruption which forced the police commissioner to act and he has not relent on his crusade. Even Thaksin had to bowed to his allegations and investigations were done resulting in 4 police major generals, 9 lieutenant colonels and many top police officers suspended. He was kidnapped gone missing for days and emerged dazed and found by a tax driver. He alleged that he was drugged and beatened. As a political candidate, he escaped an assassination attempt. Why he is doing this, I have no clue but I am sure glad he is exposing police corruption and he is a very brave man.

Trump Organization found guilty on multiple counts of criminal tax fraud
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in World News
Yours is a mala fire argument. Bad faith trying to deceive me in accepting that Trump’s criminal lawsuits are a norm in corporations and you given him a pass of his character. That’s bad denialism. He is now found guilty of multiple counts of tax frauds. He consistently indulged in criminal activities in the past, present and there are numerous cases that will result in charges soon. No other way to describe his character as criminally flawed. -

Federal judge declines to hold Trump in contempt of court
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in World News
Actually the contrary. This is the judge telling DOJ to stop pussyfooting with the case and just indict Trump. Judge has an indirect message for DOJ to forget about asking for documents because Trump has and will never be honest with his lawyers. Indictments are on the way. -
Trump Organization found guilty on multiple counts of criminal tax fraud
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in World News
Don't look at the courts, look at the man and his history of legal cases over 3 decades. Trump and his businesses had involved in 3,500 legal cases in US Federal and state courts. Of the 3,500 legal cases, Trump or one of his companies were plintiffs in 1,900, defendents in 1,450 and bankruptcy third party or other in 150. This conviction is just the progression of his history of corruption. -

If your assumption is right, this election lawsuit will go the Republican way. Didn't even make it to the court consideration stage. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/12/11/texas-lawsuit-supreme-court-election-results/ -
If you read the 10 points plan put forward by PTP, the minimum wage in stages by 2027 is palatable. To attain the wage target, PTP pledge that the economy will grow by at least 5% annually in the next 4 years. I wouldn't bet against that as they have shown in the past under various party names that they can achieved more than 5% GPD growth. Thailand has a chronic consumer debt problem accumlated for a long time mainly due to low wages and weighed heavily on the domestic economy. In the plan, PTP pledged to break up monopolies particularly in the liqour industry to open opportunities for small craft brewers and distilleries and land reclamation along the Gulf of Thailand to prevent flooding in Bangkok. Bold manifesto and progressive.

Thaksin’s Homecoming Bid May Fall Through Without Help From Kingmaker
Eric Loh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It has already been +10 years since the Yellow Shirts were strong to oppose Thaksin's return. The situation now is totally different. The yellow shirts no longer have a strong enough platform to stand on, to shout and scream from and their passion subsided, funds depleted and the movement has waned. It's even rumored that Sondhi Limthongkul has make peace with Thaksin in the interest of good business, The Army has also fallen out with the yellow shirts and denied them the use of the Army Club for political rally in 2012. The anti-monarchy sentiments and the fear that Thaksin planned to turn Thailand into a Republic with him as President has long gone. 10 years under military government has not improved the lives of Thais and corruption has gone worse. This time Thaksin's return will be facing less resistance and my feeling is that he will be back soon. -
Thaksin’s Homecoming Bid May Fall Through Without Help From Kingmaker

Starting to make sense as to why Mingkwan Saengsuwan, an ally of Thaksin is joining PPRP. High profile reporting of Prawit personally welcoming him to the party and announced that he will be considered party candidate for next premiership. IMO Prawit will not take up the premiership if the rumour of horse trading between Pheu Thai and PPRP is true. He will always like the position of being the shadow power broker.
