  1. It’s this kind of obstruction for sensible gun control laws that frustrate majority of people and allow mass shooting to happen again. GOP had their victory lap at the expense of worrying parents that next shooting would not be in their kid’s school. https://www.wmur.com/article/nh-gun-bills-defeated-red-flag-law-background-checks-323/43265601
  2. Who cares about the Chamber of Commerce etc. They have no legislative responsibilities. Rather lame deflection.
  3. Obtuse much. https://elections.bradyunited.org/take-action/nra-donations-116th-congress-senators https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3511518-nra-contributions-underscore-grip-in-gop/
  4. It’s a no hope situation for sensible gun control legislation when a key leader of the GOP want more guns to protect kids. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/marjorie-taylor-greene-nashville-shooting-more-guns-kids-1234704343/
  5. Don has gift wrapped the security of South Korea to Kim with his intention of withdrawing US troops and stopping the annual war games. The relationship between South Korea and US was fragile and weak which played into the hands of Kim. There will be no peace in the Korean peninsula as long as there is no peace treaty.
  6. Don't think she been labelled. In fact she pride herself in numerous occasions to associate with far right, fascist white supremacist and neo-nazi groups. By the way, who drived and championed identity politics most. Identity politics has taken over the Reoublican Party.
  7. Will need a visionary leader, political stability and investment in human capital. All 3 conditions are needed if Thailand wish to escape the middle income trap.
  8. If Jack Smith is successful and implicit her role in the Jan 6 insurrection, she can be banned for the next re-election. Georgia voters had enough of her and ask the court to determine whether she can be banned under the 14th Amendment. A federal judge had indicated that she likely allow the election challenge.
  9. Dems filter out garbage like MTG. She simply don’t have the qualifications to be a Democrat. Meanwhile Republican Party will always have room for incompetent nutjobs like Greene, Santos and Trump. The party is gutless to get rid of the crazies who now control the party. The old GOP party of Reagan is dead and likely will not recover.
  10. She still minor league in geography prowess compare to Trump and to her credit she swiftly made the correction. https://www.indy100.com/news/trump-geography-world-map-fail-japan-finland-greenland-can-t-name-ukraine-9307641
  11. Meeting ended with the usual routine run of the mill joint statement about follow-up negotiation. That's it. No peace terms and neither was Trump involved in follow-up talks. Really a much published meeting that ended with a whimper.
  12. What peace terms were offered by Trump? The only offer was to take Kim home on Air Force One.
  13. Twice meeting were held between 2018-2019 when Trump had warm loving rekationship with Kim and twice broke down. Meeting was over in a day. Trump was seeking publicity not peace. He did nothing to progress any peace with North Korea.
  14. Rest of the world, parents send their children to schools knowing that they will be safe and knowing that they will see them back home. Tragic situation whereby common sense safety supported by overwhelming majority held hostage by Republicans and the NRA for power.
  15. GOP lawmakers will offer their usual thoughts and prayers and a whole lot of deflections including absurd solutions until the next mass shootings. If they don't see the lunacy in this, you might not only have a problem, they are the problem.
  16. Trump was taken out by the people not by people he threatened. The people realized the lies, corruptions and the disregards for law and order, norms and traditions and voted him out. The institutions were strong even to withstand Trumps assaults on democracy. He served himself and not the people.
  17. Prayut infamous words “ Khun Suthep and your masses of PDRC supporters are too exhausted. It’s now the duty of the army to take over the task”.
  18. Interesting comment that the protest in 2014 was not a red and yellow clash. I tend to agree with you that the initial protest against Yinglucks amnesty was a Bangkok middle class spontaneous 'demonstration that drew hundreds of thousands of ordinary people into the streets. In fact, the red shirts were also against the amnesty due to the inclusion of murder charges related to the 2010 military crackdown in which 91 were killed. Protesters were ordinary Bangkokians and there were little signs of yellow shirts among the crowd. Soon after the amnesty bill was rejected by the Senate, the ordinary Bangkokians dispersed and the yellow shirts lead by the PDRC continued with more violent protests. Red shirts soon appeared with sporadic violence, shootings and bomb attempts. The protest by then has been hijacked by the PDRC for a purposeful agenda of toppling Yingluck's government.
  19. Not exactly. Most of the protesters left the demonstration after Yingluck withdrew the amnesty. The paid protesters mainly from the South continued with the demonstration and intensified the protests. They have an agenda that is what cost Yingkuck her premiership.
  20. What exactly is the swamp. Is it a place where grifters enrich themselves with federal contracts and curruptly influence government policy or a place filled with inefficient bureaucrats and leeches. Both fits perfectly defining Trump and his adminstration.
  21. He will be indicted this week. Job done. Next multiple indictments in Fulton County and the crem dela crem will be the smackdown criminal indictments by Jack Smith. Trump ambition will be finito by then and the country sigh in relief. USA is a great country and doesn't need to stain their image with a Holmesian bad man and an even worst President.
  22. His first election rally pledged policies to improve people lives. I am kidding. Same old victimhood, lots of self glorification, childish name calling and threats to his enemies. Strange people travelled to listen to such garbage that has does nothing to improve their lives.
  23. Every time you have a post coup government, it’s a mini Zi. Even if you don’t read the Thailand constitution , no reason to post such asinine nonsense.
  24. He pick his first election rally in Waco Texas on the anniversary of the infamous shootout. Poor judgement, coincidental or provocative. You be the judge.
