Trump’s dominance of GOP field has America bracing for a toxic campaign
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It's not about the bragging, it's about the right-wing claim he did that to protect Burisma. -

Sory, I replied too fast. I thought you were claiming he did that to protect Busrisma from being investigated. -

Well, there is a certainty that nearly half of GOP voters are morons, as they believe the pizzagate conspiracy theory. https://dcist.com/story/16/12/28/poll/ -
Reports of modern slavery double in UK care sector
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
If more UK residents work in care homes, it may well be that less will work in other activities. Unemployment rate in UK has always been low, and is still currently around 4%, despite the post-pandemic consequences, Brexit, war in Ukraine, etc... The main problem of the UK economy is not unemployment, it's low growth (and temporarily: inflation). -
And they are ready to believe anything... “They’re not indicting me, they’re indicting you. I just happen to be standing in the way,” he told the arena crowd in Erie, adding that, “Every time the radical left Democrats, Marxists, communists and fascists indict me, I consider it actually a great badge of honor.... Because I’m being indicted for you.” ???? https://news.yahoo.com/trump-amid-legal-perils-calls-031346413.html

Thaksin’s pending return signals done deal?
candide replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
It's a pity there has been no real investigation and trial on responsibilities for this tragedy! I wonder why the army and the Dems quickly buried the case as deep as possible after starting an investigation? (Sarcasm alert) -
Ron DeSantis suggests he would pardon Trump on any federal charges

Only if Trump begs pardon on his knees! ???? -
Of course, the GOP is releasing only the testimonies it likes...... Democrats claim the GOP is withholding evidence contradicting claims in Hunter Biden probe https://news.yahoo.com/democrats-claim-gop-withholding-evidence-145946236.html "House Democrats are demanding the release of a transcript from a new FBI witness that they say contradicts Republicans' claims in the expanding congressional inquiry into President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden. Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on House Oversight Committee, sent a letter Friday to Rep. James Comer, the Republican chair of the committee, asking him to produce the transcribed interview this month with an FBI agent who worked on the investigation into the younger Biden’s taxes and foreign business dealings. The witness was interviewed on July 17."

As usual, a misleading truncated quote.... Here's the full reply in the linked text. "THE COURT: All right. So if there were a 3 failure in the investigation or the charges brought were 4 inappropriate, how would that get addressed in our form of 5 government? 6 MR. WISE: Through the political process, Your 7 Honor. 8 MR. CLARK: In particular, Your Honor, the 9 Executive Branch is charged fully with investigating, making 10 prosecutorial discretion decisions, and indeed that's where 11 the term prosecutorial discretion comes from, it is vested 12 in the Executive Branch."

They wanted elections before the nomination of the army chief, not after. History has shown it was a legitimate concern. "But both sides want to be in control when a key reshuffle of top military posts occurs in September." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2010/5/6/thai-pm-sets-poll-timeframe Abhisit was a puppet at that time and was doing what he was being told to do.

They were protesting to get elections. Of course, the army went against them for this reason. Unlike when the yellow shirts (or equivalent: PDRC) protest in order to oust an elected government or to block elections. In this latter case the army does nothing or even helps the protesters. The difference between Abhisit and Yingluck is eloquent! . Both had their legitimacy strongly contested. Yingluck quickly dissolved the parliament in order to let the people make a decision about it via elections. Abhisit sent the troops!
