  1. So what happens when he fails his mental health evaluation?
  2. 2,000 people, in Bangkok, surveyed
  3. A couple seemed to have missed their turn having already paid their 1/5 portion.
  4. I do not agree at all. Centrist voters would flock to a Dem nominee like Ms Whitmer. She has championed Choice and has no baggage to turn off lefties. Personally I think she would crush Trump.
  5. UK & Aus have forever been the Yanks most reliable poodles [see: Iraq War - imaginary WMD].
  6. Might be enough time to take the BTS down to Nana for a lap dance or two then back to DM. As for the timing, makes one wonder whether the Biden administration was concerned that the inevitable Labour win July 4 in the UK could end this travesty.
  7. Can't have that. Same as in USA. Nothing but bickering and pointing fingers when all they would have to do to stop it is lay criminal charges against employers. Thing is many of them are political donors so can not have that. Both places are extremely corrupt
  8. More American ignorance. The German economy has been hammered since Biden ordered the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline. Conversely and not coincidentally American Big Oil has been making a killing sending oil and gas to Europe to make up for the cut of supplies from Russia. The environmental president, Biden, has been in office for the highest production of oil in the USA ever. You won't hear him say drill baby drill because he only does that behind closed doors with Big Oil CEOs. The social democrat lead governing coalition in Germany is getting hammered in the polls. SDP is currently running third and will be demolished next election just as they were in the recently held EU elections. I suggest you turn off CNN, MSNBC, FOX News then cancel your subscriptions to propaganda publications like the New York Times and Washington Post. Then go to YouTube and type in Jeffrey Sachs and\or John Meirsheimer and learn what's really going on in the world. Little wonder W Bush got away with the WMD in Iraq charade.
  9. As long as the neocons in the Biden administration are calling the shots peace in Ukraine his impossible.
  10. There are some powerful people in this country that do not want a full democracy in Thailand.
  11. My response was to a post about people with no passports or records. Seems you have yourself confused.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. They are both categorized as "Flawed Democracies".
  15. 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}..............
  16. 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
  17. 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."
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. 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????
  21. 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
  22. The Ukraine will get relief once their last soldier is dead in this American proxy war.
  23. 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.
