There are some powerful people in this country that do not want a full democracy in Thailand.

My response was to a post about people with no passports or records. Seems you have yourself confused.

Apparently Rwanda

To an extent they are with the result of eight gun murders in the city of nearly 10m. That's a low weekend in Chicago we're banned guns are brought in from neighbouring yahoo states.

Well I live in a country, Canada, that curtailed the money overnight with signing of a single law so not sure how I'm being naïve. Unless you are saying that the whole political system in the USA is so corrupt it would be naïve to expect better. on that you might be correct

They are both categorized as "Flawed Democracies".

Disagree, in the USA the major problem is $$$ in politics. Lobby groups such as AIPAC control much of the decision-making by American politicians. It takes about $2B to have a legitimate chance of becoming president. That buys a heck of a lot of influence. Extremely biased media also plays a significant role. The institution causing the problems with democracy in Thailand is {censored}..............

I think the Economist Group's Democracy Index has been the gold standard for rankings when it comes to this matter. What the USA and Thailand have in common is they are both classified as "Flawed Democracies". So I agree with you this is something like "The pot calling the kettle black". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index

Crook vs Crook. What a mess

I just hope George Galloway's Workers Party of Britain takes more seats. The best quote of the election so far was on a conservative leaning TV show were one of the commentators stated "Had George Galloway been at the 7 party debate he would've mopped the floor with the bunch of them."

Do you mean when he campaigned champing all the benefits that would happen with Brexit? Well the latest poll I found states 31% are happy with Brexit. https://www.statista.com/statistics/987347/brexit-opinion-poll/. How about when he cheered on the Liz Truss budget that almost tanked the UK economy? Old Nig seems to always be on the wrong side of history

Seems you think it's outrageous that there are people who do not support genocide\ apartheidism. Well I think that is atrocious that there are people that don't. Biden being among them. Over the many wars the USA has been in during his time, too many to count, the only one that he was not full throated supportive of was the one he was fighting age for. Of course he got five deferments for it. The word chickenhawk comes to mind.

Same as what the Yanks threatened in 1962 when the USSR put nuclear missiles in Cuba. Biden knew he was baiting gangster Putin into invading Ukraine when he stated that Ukraine would be gaining NATO membership. Dumb is believing the nonsense fed to you by propaganda media like the right wing trash British tabloids, SKY NEWS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News......... Did you not learn anything after WMD in Iraq????? Still eating Freedumb Fries????

No that happened in 2014. Former Chaney aid and Obama\Biden State Dept official, a member of the neo-con Kagan Clan, Vicky Nuland was up to her armpits in the Kyiv coup. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957

The Ukraine will get relief once their last soldier is dead in this American proxy war.

Not really. The likelihood is his departure day back to his cesspool of a home country was soon approaching and he decided this was the better option.

Gallop poll registers immigration as THE biggest problem facing that country. https://news.gallup.com/poll/611135/immigration-surges-top-important-problem-list.aspx

It would not surprise me at all. He is getting murdered on this issue

Too little, too late. Biden's open borders policy, to the benefit of the business community by providing downward pressure on wages, was a stupendous folly. There are about 7 billion people in this world that would like to move to any rich country. Opening the floodgates leads to disaster at the polling booth. Illegal Central and South Americans should be shipped to the Vatican because it's opposition to birth control and abortion has caused huge overpopulation in RC majority countries. Luckily for Biden his opponent is a train wreck so maybe he'll get away with this stupidity up to now.

Can they please "LOCK HIM UP!!!!!".

Looks like you got too much sun Bob

Likely has a rap sheet the length of a 20,000B bin sheet. Age fits plus drug charges last year. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/thug-who-stabbed-his-friends-pet-1678702

I say it boosts tourism by at least 30% in the next six months

Jomtien & Pattaya Beaches are in the same city with the same authorities responsible for them
