It was just a sample. Not meant to convince anyone. Just shows that she is a serious person and not the bubblehead Trump is trying to make her out to be. I very much doubt if her campaign has you in there sights as a potential voter for her. Women are the target and choice is the issue. I hope they have a sign at the entrance of her campaign headquarters that reads "IT'S ABORTION STUPID"

Russia’s Summer Offensive Fails to Deliver a Decisive Blow
pegman replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Ukraine
The move on Kyiv was to put pressure on Ukraine to sign peace accords in Istanbul. According to Internationally renowned International affairs experts like Professor John Mearsheimer the UK and USA got to Zelensky. Famed investigative reporter Seymour Hersh has written how the Ukrainian president was paid off with $100's transferred to Cypress bank accounts. I believe these people over the propagandist mainstream media in your country. You know the ones that hyped up Bush's WMD in Iraq to start the illegal war murdered a million people. I was doing a little research today and came across an interesting fact. Lloyd Austin's former employer Rathon's share price has gone up >90% since Biden was elected. The military industrial complex and Big Oil in the USA have made a killing over the Ukraine-Russian War. https://www.thenation.com/article/world/ukraine-russia-war-peace-diplomacy/ -
My educated guess, from spending more time in the State of Alberta than I ever wished I had to, is that this Oil Patch Straw Boss forgot where he was. He figured he was still the big man back on the rigs using his oversize ego to bully about to the roustabouts. In short he messed around and found out.

By Wokeness do you mean anti racist or sexist??? -

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
