Drunk driving needs to be effectively dealt with and examples made. It seems to be a badge of honor to have been banged up for driving drunk, fined and let go........

I have walked on the trail.above the tidal wall there and at Pranburi Beach. There are signs that warn of moss being a hazard.

It makes absolutely no sense that his stock has risen by being indicted. The man must carry a 5 leaf clover in his pocket.....

Are monks not exempt?

Did you read the entire article. IT seems that he admitted to the wrongdoing, and accepted a plea deal which required the payment and the dissolving of the Trump foundation. It is viewed in judicial circles as a conviction. https://apnews.com/article/campaigns-donald-trump-us-news-ap-top-news-lawsuits-7b8d0f5ce9cb4cadad948c2c414afd57 New York state Judge Saliann Scarpulla imposed the penalty after the president admitted to a series of abuses outlined in a lawsuit brought against him last year by the New York attorney general’s office. Among other things, Trump acknowledged in a legal filing that he allowed his presidential campaign staff to coordinate with the Trump Foundation in holding a fundraiser for veterans during the run-up to the 2016 Iowa caucuses. The event was designed “to further Mr. Trump’s political campaign,” Scarpulla said. The president admitted, among other things, to arranging for the charity to pay $10,000 for a 6-foot portrait of him. He also agreed to pay back $11,525 in foundation funds that he spent on sports memorabilia and champagne at a charity gala.

In your view, how is today any different then back when Kennedy was President. (Rhetorical question by the way). Do you think that with the laws having changed over the years as well as new laws created, because of such conduct, have anything to do with the cases we actually see today versus the cases we saw back then. Add in of course the uses of social media and the internet and things are definitely a bit more in your face now where people are now being caught more because of these postings. So is it not fair for someone to be prosecuted, no matter who they are, when the evidence is at hand. It does not matter what the prior DOJ did or did not do in regards to this case as they were not going to invest the time and money on it like DA Bragg and New York did. To some folks this is a sham, but how many white collar crimes like this are tried each year, and how many people are arrested, charged and convicted? The below linked article explains a lot, and is one of the reasons that Trump now is being charged as it appears all the evidence has been exposed by confidantes, and former partners like Cohen. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/white-collar_crime Many white-collar crimes are especially difficult to prosecute because the perpetrators use sophisticated means to conceal their activities through a series of complex transactions. Whistleblowers are particularly helpful to prosecutors of white-collar crime, because these whistleblowers report internal wrongdoing.

You do understand that taking an offer or plea deal offered by the DA instead of having a court trial is the same as being convicted, right? So in cases where Trump or his companies accepted a plea deal and paid out the sums required he/they were actually convicted. A plea deal is what will keep him from serving time.

Choking

Why do you think that an actual criminal case is a distraction?. I mean would it make any difference if he had not been a former president and was just Donald Trump the business man being prosecuted for the crimes he was indicted on. Remember he was not indicted because he was the former president or for the fact he is running for the presidency. He is being prosecuted for crimes he is charged with.

Internet

That is unfortunately the state of life now, it is after all a world full of "Cancel Culture". Trying to erase anything be it good or bad because of the actions of the person or how it now violates the current view of history.

Fraternity

May they all ???? and for those injured prayers to heal quickly. With the travel for Songkran already started my prayers to all for safe travel.

Reading into his post would tell me he is talking about the PM known also as Uncle Too...buy then that's my view.

You need to remember that the prime individual is now a Former POTUS, and as such completing a full investigation, getting all of the evidence collected and presented to a grand jury who can also request additional evidence by subpoenas ensures that all of the ducks are in a row. Sometimes the grand jury finds that there is not enough evidence and the case investigated goes nowhere. https://theconversation.com/how-do-grand-juries-work-their-major-role-in-criminal-justice-and-why-prosecutors-are-using-them-to-investigate-efforts-to-overturn-the-2020-election-187816 The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides the legal basis for grand juries. In federal criminal cases, federal grand juries are made up of 16 to 23 members. They decide whether to indict someone who is being investigated, and at least 12 grand jurors need to agree to issue an indictment. In addition to considering whether individuals may have committed a crime, a grand jury can also be used by a prosecutor as an investigative tool to compel witnesses to testify or turn over documents.

True just 1 is responsible but the way I see it is as 3 people. Thats when the Donald says it as "He, Himself and I" as he speaks. Yes he has only himself to blame looking through the issues he has created and the incitefullness of his tweets and press conferences.

Can you explain in general terms how supply and demand eally works in Thailand versus the rest of the world. Have you not seen the price increases when there is to much supply and low demand because of the prices. It seems to be a strange reversed way of thinking in the minds here. If I had fewer customers and locations were not being flown to as they were not popular and I was loosing money, I would slash my prices to load up the plane, but not here prices have increased on many unpopular routes. The article points out to giving possible subsidies to the airlines, well why not subsidize the passengers with incentives and thus the need to subsidize the airlines would not be necessary.

Last Order, again it's a caretaker government and they can not incur any new expenses for the country and its people except to continue running current policies that are still in play, not creating new ones. That is up to the new government to decide.

So what exactly is the 5 point strategy because the quote I posted below is definitely not it. If less popular destinations are just that,less popular, why provide a subsidy to the airlines, just reduce the ticket prices to almost free, promote the locations and give vouchers to ALL travelers going there not just Thais.
