What absolute nonsense. Why not vote for a politician or party you are happy with? Seems you would have to be some sort of moron not to. In my home country I've voted for the same party for >45 years. If they anger me I just don't vote. Most people in democracies do the same. FDR won 4 straight elections in the USA and had he lived longer would have won more. The illegitimate superiority some expats think they have over Thai people is utterly unfounded

A monster for what ever reason. I feel so sorry for those families and the people of Thailand

You really don't have any understanding of how things work there do you?

Just arrest them already

It's the height of irresponsibility that the state and it's counties allowed subdivisions to be built on manmade canels, at sea level, along the coast of hurricane alley. Gov should help those on the margins but the others who made ill-conceived decisions on where to build should be on their own.

The devastation shows why flood insurance is impossible to get in hurricane alley.

What was said by people like you prior to the end of Roe. Something or other about precedence. Seem to remember some court nominees mentioning it also.

Nearly 4,000,000 people voted in favour of these rights for gay people in Cuba. Shortly six judges on the Supreme Catholic Court of the United States will take away those rights in it's neighbour to the north.

Nope, no Nazis there, 555

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has stated he will be doubling down with more borrowing to give tax cuts to the super rich so I would be careful.

Some talk of that happening in the USA which is turning into the new Cuba.

Happy to help

Our company pension has the age provision. The survivor's benefit deminishes each year after 10. A female union staff member coined it the "Trophy Wife clause". Our bargaining committee got a good chuckle out of that.

I was thinking more in line with Ghana being a developing country. It's median wealth per adult ranks in at #123. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_per_adult

Strongly disagree. The tax cuts which are in the main going to the rich were not necessary nor predicted. What was predictable was the pound sterling tanking once these measures were announced. There is near total consensus among financial experts that they will lead to much higher inflation. The Telegraph is overjoyed so that should tell you who benefits. These American commentators seemed incredulous as to why the UK government would do such a thing. Even referencing it causing a £ crisis.

£ now down $.05 in the last week. We are watching a train wreck happen in real time. This finance minister seems set on making the UK economy equivalent to that of his parent's Ghana. Pity the UK expat

So uncontrolled inflation and a crashing £ it is with a Tory reverse Robin Hood mini-budget. Take from poor pensioners to give to super rich banksters. Well at least the poor Brexiteer Con voters amongst them can rejoice in the fact that there will be fewer Poles around to share the misery. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/mini-budget-today-kwasi-kwarteng-stamp-duty-truss-latest-b2173590.html

Give his chances of being released somewhere in between zero and none

No by then the auction for the position should be done

Not the time for war but a good time to buy cheaper Putin oil that helps his war effort.

As I remember the right-wing block couldn't put together a governing coalition last election. Just as likely to have the same outcome this time. The four right wing parties got half a percentage point more of the popular vote than the left block. Not exactly a landslide. The left Social Democrats are still the party with the most popular vote and seats both of which increased this election. Far right Sweden Democrats do not lead in any demographic.

Record straight I have no use for Biden.

You're not getting your wall.

So the 2 who actually went to war for their country will wear suits while the rest will be in uniform. Sounds like a lot of fake valour going on to me.

Seems MAGA has devolved into Make Attorneys Get Attorneys
