Where did you get your law degree? Trump University? -

By Wokeness do you mean anti racist or sexist??? -
Kamala Harris selects Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be VP running mate

Once the American public see and hear him with their own eyes and ears he is a lot more Coach Walz than what they're trying to make him out to be. I think she hit it out of the park with this pick. -

Some Jews like him think their ethnic group should have every important government job. Saw a lot of that on CNN yesterday. Serial sexual assaulter Halpern has fallen a long way to end up on Newsmax. -
The cost of centuries of British imperialism.

It is likely because I'm a left winger from a country where 2\3 of the population regularly vote for those parties that are ctr-left. Right wingers like yourself surrounded by fellow kind are not likely to notice. I liken it to going to the girlfriend's family's rice commune in Laos. Stuck out like a sore thumb.

One thing I noticed while living in Thailand was that the vast majority of foreigners living there were right of centre. Much more so than the ratio one would find in their home countries.

Mass Arrests Follow Violent Far-Right Demonstrations Across the UK

I still don't understand why Tommy Robinson, after getting arrested in the State of Alberta for lying on his Visa application, was allowed to leave Canada. Had he stayed in the jail in Calgary he would've not been able to agitate in this situation. -
Exactly, one by one NATO countries governments are being voted out of office. Of course that is something Zelensky does not need to worry about as he cancelled elections.

Good for them. When I think of a Russian prison I think of similar conditions to the Bangkok Hilton. Funny how these people are never admitted to be spies by the American government. $100 billion a year budgeted for intelligence but nobody's a spy. If so the WSJ guy who was caught in a city where tanks are manufactured was sent on a fools errand. He was probably under surveillance 24\7.

The USA is not a real democracy. The standard on such things is the democracy index compiled by the Economist Group. They classify it as a Flawed Democracy same as Thailand. If it takes $2B donations to become president regular voters don't count for much. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index

I am from the Canadian prairies and lived in Jomtien Beach for a few years after I retired. Used to be a couple bars on Soi7 owned by a BC guy, Penticton and his Thai wife. Lotta guys from BC and other Canadians hung out there. Not many from Vancouver as it is very ethnic Asian now. Each for their own reasons everybody seemed to love it there. If you were looking for a quiet place there are hundreds of miles of coastline in Thailand that are sparsely populated and provide what you're looking for. Na Jomtien for example. Once the grandkids get a bit older I plan on moving back there as I really enjoyed it.

Digital Wallet Scheme Excludes 18 Products and Services
pegman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
One way or the other in all regions of Thailand will have their economies benefit from this program. Of course to the cynical farang it's all a scam. Back in their home countries every advantage goes to the super rich so something like this is alien to them. Thailand needs this after nearly a decade of rule under a repressive military Junta. It has foreign currency reserves much higher than countries with larger economies like the UK. Just get on with it -
Biden's Family Considers Potential Exit Strategy from 2024 Campaign
pegman replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Well that was about time. A year or two ago I thought if he had any real concern for his country he would pull out by last March which was the timeline when LBJ got out of the race in 1968. Guess he was more greedy than I figured and will now always be known for having to be forced out rather than doing the right thing. Hopefully there is an open nomination contest to be determined at an open convention. Prior to the start of nomination fight in 2020 I thought Harris would be best to go against the Republicans who would later dominate Trump. The media has shredded her so we'll have to see if she can get her reputation back. -

What a joke! Yanks have their noses stuck in other peoples business around the globe. Pot calls kettle black -
Aftermath of the Trump Assassination Attempt Staring into the Abyss
pegman replied to Social Media's topic in World News
So you really think that blacks do not apply to high paying jobs like that? Sounds like nonsense to me. You really think those short white women that were at the scene of the Trump shooting out performed in testing compared to black males with military backgrounds? If you don't think race is still a factor in that country I know a bridge in London I would like to sell you -
Aftermath of the Trump Assassination Attempt Staring into the Abyss
pegman replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Oh you mean the white Secret Service chick? I have watched the scene a number of times and do not see a single black Secret Service or other law enforcement personnel. What's with that???????? I know blacks make up a disproportionate number of military members from which all types of law enforcement agencies recruit from. Where did this racism come from? Trump? The Secret Service? The Biden administration? American society in general as I have yet to hear mention of this in any media. Like it's not an issue in that racist country. -
