There is no EU President. It's not a federal State and it's not a Presidential regime.

However, in Presidential systems (I mean when the President has a significant executive power), it makes sense that the President receives this power directly from the voters.

What they agree on: - Democrat: It's a damning indictment - Republican: It's a damning indictment, but (choose between Biden, Clinton, weaponization, no real damage done, first time President indicted, etc...)

I don't disagree that others should also have been investigated, in particular about the WMD lie. About your last point, Trump would have disagreed with you in 2018, as he felt necessary to strengthen the law about it. https://www.businessinsider.com/law-trump-signed-2018-may-punish-him-classified-info-2022-8?r=US&IR=T

Petulant and unnecessary! That's all? Nothing about the big lie?

Actually Trump initially thought he would lose the 2016 elections, so he started to claim they were rigged. Edit: He even claimed elections have been rigged after winning, as he was enraged that Hillary won the popular vote! ????

That's the point. Trump understood that he could convince some people, who don't have much power and influence in their lives, to follow him, if he gives them dome power. Of course, he could not give them the real power. The swamp behind him (the Koch etc..) would not have let him do it (and it was not his intent, as he is only a conman). So he gave them only some limited negative power on other people they don't like (I.e. restrict freedom, culture, etc...). And they have gone addicted to it.

Sure! When one compares Biden or Sunak to the brilliant minds who have been leading Thailand for the last 9 years....????

Of course, "bought votes", "conned by western backed lackeys"! Why didn't i think of that before! ????

Yet even Republican lawyers, such as Barr, consider it's a damning indictment

It's been explained to you so many times that It's not worth spending time explaining again.

Thank you for your valuable contribution!

Latest statistics by the OECD: - UK GDP is still below pre-pandemic level (- 0.5%), but has been joined by Germany, - UK GDP growth forecast for 2023 is positive (0.3%). https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

Probably dead on departure too!

Unlike a former president, i's easy to check as he has publicised his tax returns for years. Nothing secret about it. Here: http://www.disclosures.org/joe-biden-financial-disclosures/ And the more recent ones here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/disclosures/tax-returns/

It's paradoxal to see a foreigner praising a power system for its 'Thai' characteristics, at a time a large majority of Thai people have expressed their will to get rid of it.

This is going to be good! At what time should we sit in front of TV with popcorn?

A quick five mil for what? Incite Ukraine to stop burying the Burisma investigation? It doesn't make sense at all.

Are you kidding? The January 6 committee has produced a lot of evidences: testimonies under oath by Republican officials from the Trump administration, text messages, documents, recordings (such as Trumps "perfect call" to Georgia). The fake GOP committee has only produced unsubstantiated allegations. We are still waiting for evidence.

I'm tired of these double-standards! If Trump were just a normal citizen, he would have been already convicted and put into jail.

True, they have been investigating each other. However, the big difference is that one side came up with evidence such as testimonies under oath, documents, messages and recordings, and the other side only came up with allegations.

Why not introduce a few facts, for a change? Thanks to the excellent timeline provided by Just Security, it may be noticed that: - Hunter was recruited before the investigation into Burisma was opened - before Shokin was appointed, as well as during his office, the Obama administration has been continuously complaining about Ukraine's prosecutor's burying the Burisma case instead of investigating it. April 2014 – Hunter Biden joins Ukrainian firm Burisma Aug. 5, 2014 – Ukraine investigation of Burisma Ukrainian Prosecutor General Vitaly Yarema opens an investigation of Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevskiy on suspicion of “unlawful enrichment.” Feb. 3, 2015 — Obama administration conveys harsh criticism of Ukraine Prosecutor General’s Office for its coverup of Zlochevskiy/Burisma Kent, who had long pushed Ukrainian prosecutors for investigations into Zlochevskiy, “scolded” the deputy prosecutor for having “shut the criminal case” Feb. 10, 2015 – Viktor Shokin takes office as Ukraine’s prosecutor general, replacing Yarema. Sept. 24, 2015 – U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt excoriates officials in the Prosecutor General’s Office for stymying anti-corruption investigations, including those involving Burisma Quote from his speech: "For example, in the case of former Ecology Minister Mykola Zlochevskiy, the U.K. authorities had seized 23 million dollars in illicit assets that belonged to the Ukrainian people. Officials at the PGO’s office were asked by the U.K to send documents supporting the seizure. Instead they sent letters to Zlochevskiy’s attorneys attesting that there was no case against him. As a result, the money was freed by the U.K. court and shortly thereafter the money was moved to Cyprus." Dec. 8, 2015 – Vice President Biden makes a speech to Ukraine’s Parliament urging the country to step up anti-corruption measures. Feb. 16, 2016 – Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin resigns, then returns to office before finally being ousted Plenty of details and other facts here: https://www.justsecurity.org/66271/timeline-trump-giuliani-bidens-and-ukrainegate/

What are you talking about? These "wise people" are not corrupt and don't have their own interest at heart? Do you really believe this fairy tale? You seem to be one of the few people who haven't found out about it. It's probably because you are not Thai. The former virtuous supporters of the establishment, the Bangkok middle-class, the "good people" who protested in 2014 against Yingluck, have ultimately understood and voted MF. You assume that other farangs don't understand Thailand, but maybe it's you the farang who doesn't understand much about it.

Well it works well for him.
