    Knowing the origin of Thaksin's return and the political stance of the Thai Pakdee party, it seems quite strange....

    And then the bad war mongering USA sent massive military help to Russia. Funny how history repeats itself! 😀

    It could be. However, you seem to forget that the Soviet Union has been dissolved so there was no gentleman's agreement any more (in case there was any). The irony is that the main reason for this dissolution was the unilateral independence declared by Russia in June 1991 (6 months before) which also induced the declaration of independence of Uhraine one month later!

    I wasn't around at the time either, but I've read it only happened after the alliance they had with Germany was broken when Germany invaded Russia. BRW, following your usual rationale, millions of Russian lives would have been saved if the U.S. didn't send massive military help to Russia and let Hitler conquer Russia! 😉

    They are starting to feel what an embarrassment he is!

    Most posts in this thread are a perfect illustration of the reason why I usually don't participate in such threads...... There's no way to post anything without being accused of the worst intent by either one or the other camp!

    QAnon, is it you? 😃

    Another win for patriots!

    Exactly! Trumpers and non-Trumpers are part of the same GOP swamp! 😃

    But only after analysing the system in a lab for months.... 😃

    A useful timeline https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/14/politics/timeline-trump-stormy-daniels-hush-money-dg/index.html

    That was expected as the constitution was written under the military Junta.

    Not an election as we understand it. More like a selection. If you want to understand how it works, it's all explained here: https://www.ilaw.or.th/articles/20706 Quote: What the constitutional drafters envisioned as an election among an exclusive club of the nonpartisan experts will turn out to be an election for the elderly, wealthy, and well-connected few.

    No problem. Just spend 300 baht less everyday in tourism oriented businesses: choose cheaper rooms, cheaper meals, less drinks.... 😃

    Not true. The changes have been made under Trump. Edit Actually it took 4 years to progressively implement the system, until the switch on 1 January 2021, so nothing to do with the Biden administration. https://bjs.ojp.gov/nibrs-estimation-project

    The "recent changes" occurred on 1st Jan. 2021 (so still under the Trump administration, BTW). It means the 2023 data are comparable to the 2021 and 2022 data.

    Ahem! Thailand will be one of the most affected countries, by extreme heat, floods, and rising sea level. In particular, if you own a property in Bangkok and want to transmit it to your descendants, you'd better check where it is located. On top of it, the city is slowly sinking.

    No, it will be 'stats rigged by the left-wing'! 😊

    On top of it, legal arguments are usually too long to be displayed on the memes they get from social networks, which seem to be their main source of information (as we have observed yesterday)! 😁

    Or baseless deflection...or baseless deflection...or baseless deflection... (only 3, ok for Menendez)

    The Trump brand depreciated the value of the property. It's an obvious capitalist reaction to remove the name in order to increase its value.

    Due to the nomination process, the Senate will likely be controlled by the conservative elite. However, as I understand, the new Senate will not elect the PM any more.
  23. candide
    It would have been interesting to know for which party they would vote....
  24. candide
    Obviously, you haven't looked at recent polls. Anyway, it would be the same if the property were called Biden or Obama. Whatever the name, It's not in the interest of sellers that the name of the building may displease around 50% of potential buyers. I guess that when they bought it, Trump wasn't a politician.

    It seems so easy for a kid to get a gun in Texas that it Isn't even mentioned how he got it
