  1. Lost count just how many times Mahathir has announce quitting and quit and numerous times he said he is quitting politics. He even cried his heart out during an UMNO assembly that he had enough and desired to resign. He is untrustworthy and consistently reneged on his own words. This current political crisis could even be him creating the crisis and remaining in power. He is egoistic and just love people praising and pleading for him to stay. Unfortunately there is really no one currently in the Malaysia political sphere that can take on as PM; not even Anwar.

    That Covid 19 virus is very contagious .

    Only lucky that it is not very deadly .

    I think , that , if mankind does not learn to respect and live with  , ( not against ) , nature , and continues to create severe damage to the ecosystem , this same ecosystem will create more viruses ( and more deadly ones ) , to eliminate the human threat .

     

    Common flu is more deadly yet no one pay much attention to that.

    I've had posters defend their use of Hannity, Carlson, Judge whatshername and other pundits as reliable sources of information.  Not worth the trouble of digging them up, but I assure you there are many Fox News viewers who think watching the pundit shows is the same as watching the news.  Apparently Trump is one of them.

    Trump watches Fox for recruitments to the WH. Fox employees and contributors always bent over in ridiculous form to wax Trump to get his attention for WH employments.

    There are no "ongoing commitments". There are Presidential decisions to continue a policy or commitment, or not as the case may be. 

     

    Im curious though? What has President Trump done, or not done to show that he is being soft on Russia? Compared to his predecessor?

    It’s a commitment agreed by signatories you shore up defense on the Easter front. 
     

    what he done? Curious you asked. Short answer; Helsinki.

    Thanks for giving my memory credit, but I roll this on the fly. Bernie has always been a Communist, just like everyone else who belongs to an organization where people refer to themselves as comrade. As for Bloomberg. Take definition two and yes we all know he isn't Russian, but it's a nice word that still fits:

    ol·i·garch
    /ˈäləˌɡärk/
    noun
    1. 1.
      a ruler in an oligarchy.
       
    2. 2.
      (especially in Russia) a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence.

    Still can’t differentiate between socialist and communist. By the way, is subsidy a socialist act?

    The court ruled that the money Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, party leader, dished out in loans represented a massive donation – illegal under Section 66 of the Political Parties Act, which limits donations to Bt10 million per year

    A rather idiosyncratic court interpretation of the Organic Political Party Act. 
     

    I find hard to understand the manner which the learned judges inability to distinguish the different between loan and donation. The Act spelt out specifically the legal context for donation not loan. 
     

    Where did the Bt10 million appeared as mentioned in Section 66. This seem a travesty of justice in the most blatant form.

  7. Stone’s pardon will be too much of a hot potato political calculation for Trump. Trump will abandon his friends and allies when he feel that they no longer be able to contribute to his criminal acts. He boast about pardon but in reality has done nothing for his closed aides like Manafort and Rick Gates. Stone will soon learn in jail  that he has been abandon by Trump.
