US is only doing health screening of flight passengers from China when the infection rates outside China are rapidly increasing. No health screening for countries that have rapid increases in infection like SK, Japan, Italy and Iran. Also nothing much done to screen other modes of in-bound passengers like ships and items from China. Rather perilous and indifference attitude by the command in chief Trump. 

Stone was very lucky to get 40 months sentencing. That crazy stunt threatening the life of Judge Jackson would easily give him a minimum of 10-15 years jail time. The self proclaimed dirty trickster had his moment but the lights dimmed for him now. Deservingly sentenced.

the russians are coming,the russians are coming....the russians could n't give a damn because no matter who is the president the establishment will always be anti Russia.

Not this president who gave gushing praise of Putin and admitted his personal admiration for Russia authoritarian President.

Nope. More viewers watch Maddow then Hannity. 

And she always has the facts to back up her talking points. 

What a row Judge Jackson had standing up to bully Trump and his crony AG. She handed out prison and jail sentences to Trump’s close aides Manafort, Rick Gates and Alex van der Zwaan, lawyer who worked closely with Manafort and Gates. Trump can’t have his way even with his puppet AG with an independent judiciary.

Like I said, I really dont care. Nor do most other people. And if there was something in the tax returns that mattered the IRS would have been all over it already. And people know that too.

 

 

 

Got it. Just that we are polar opposite. I am for transparency and decency for POTUS to release his tax return as practiced by previous POTUS. Don’t we want to know what he is hiding. Many decent Americans want to know. Ok not you.

I really dont much care, nor did the 63 million that voted for him, nor will the voters in 2020. 

 

Whe are you guys going to realize that shouting the same thing over and over convinces no one? Lets see your specific economic and foreign policy arguments, ie, what would your candidate do to improve our economy and how would he handle the present foreign situation?

 

All the screeching about RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSSSSSSSIIAAAAAAAAAA is not going to win an election. Its old already.

Releasing his tax return should not be a partisan objective. It is necessary

exercise of the legislative oversight responsibility. Release of his tax return should be voluntary as in previous Presidents for the sake of transparency, ethics and decency. It will answer essential questions about his fitness for office. Don’t you think you want to see him release his tax return if he got nothing to hide?

Yeah Don has been just so easy on Vlad. Guess thats why we are sending the 3rd ID with 300 tanks to Europe for some "training". Wonder what Bernie would do?

Note the 3rd ID is one of the most storied units in the US military...the "Rock of the Marne" as its called.

The tanks are an ongoing commitment linked to the Operation Atlantic Resolve following the wake of the Russia invasion of Ukraine in 2014. You unnecessarily gave Trump undeserved credit,

Yes, I am pretty sure that it was not Tanachat or any of his supporters, that burnt down Central,  (Which WAS pretty well Insured I think, and well, probably in need of Renovation any way) ....  I think that it was Taksin's supporters, (The Businesses that were attacked were all not Shinawattra enterprises either I would also not mind betting) ... 

 

…  (and do not forget the 5 Suit cases of small notes, taken out of SCB was it in 5 suit cases, for the 5 different camps by Taksin's sister to pay the guys that dd it I would say ?)

 

And more importantly the innocent Bank workers, the woman, who were killed in one of the Sky Train stations, when Taksins Black shirts (A Well-armed, totally illegal gang like militia) lobed a M79 was it, from a grenade launcher, on to it's roof, and killed them on their way home, as they suspected Army snipers to be up there ? ... Or the Hospital that they invaded, and terrorized every one there, Patients Doctors and Nurses, for an hour or so ? For the same false Reason !!! 

 

To get them all out of the city !!! With only 90 or so casualties was a pretty good feat I think, after over 2 months wasn’t it !!!

 

What would happen if Thousands of protesters Occupied Martin Place in Sydney or Piccadilly Circus in London !!! FOR 2 MONTHS !!! … and every time there was a compromise offered, … agree with it, and then as talks open, and the army relaxed a bit, .... they would be regrouped, … renege on everything, .... break all of their promises, … and just started fighting again …

 

Like only total victory would have been acceptable?  And who even know what that was supposed to be ??? … Taksin Shinawatra’s Reinstatement, and the redirection of the countries money back to his family and Friends ??? …. After he DID become a dictator also you know. !!!

You think too much. Try thinking how many coups and how many times the military mowed down their own people. Or perhaps how many times the constitution was ripped and laws changed to disadvantage the people freedom of choice, expression and opinion.

Well, apparently they did distinguish between the two, and admitted that loans weren't donations, and so they couldn't dissolve the party for receiving loans, so they brought up the fact that Thanathorn put the interest on the loan too low to be considered a legitimate loan. That's according to a report on the judgement (I have not read the judgement myself)

That is even more ludicrous as loan is conditioned based on Thailand Loan Agreement Act that specify a 15% interest rate ceiling and no mentioned of how low rate should be. This verdict is all about political expediency; period. Sad day for Thailand yet again.

Lawmakers were briefed that Russia is looking to help Trump win in 2020

Not surprised as the Russian has successfully help Trump in the 2016 election and covered up by POTUS administration. Not surprises that a non intelligent personal and a Trump loyalist is now appointed as director of the intelligence agency. Got to keep those truthful intelligence information away from the public and help in his election. The losers will be the American public and Putin is the winner.
