Blow to Biden as poll shows Trump in lead for 2024 presidential election
candide replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
From what you have posted yourself, Biden trails Trump on average only between 1.6% and 2.3% (depending on the aggregator). It's not a big gap and doesn't allow to anticipate on who will be the winner next year. -
Yingluck Patiently Awaits Homecoming In Thaksin’s Style
candide replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I know and that's not the point you made in your post. She was still PM when an election date was agreed for July 2014, as she was ousted by the CC on 7 May. Additionally, the whole government was not ousted and was able to finalize the next elections with the EC. We also agree that the objective of the coup was not directly to oust her, as it was already done, the objective was to prevent the next elections to occur, and to prevent citizen from choosing their government. PS I am not the same poster who evoked the "land" issue. -

She was still PM at that time, and anyway, her government was not removed and was still the caretaker government after that. Elections had been agreed by the election commission. That 's why the coup happened, in order to prevent Thai citizen to choose their next government. Thai government, poll body agree on July 20 vote Updated 4:33 PM UTC+1, April 30, 2014 https://apnews.com/general-news-692f473a2a564b15afeba9b4dfd5193b -

Unless there is an amendment to the constitution, it won't be the government which will appoint Senators. The process is controlled by the yellow-green network and they will likely want to keep the only remaining asset left. So the Senate will likely be yellow coloured. The only good news is that, If I remember well, the new Senate won't elect the PM any more. -

Why was there such an (still in minority) opposition to her? Oh! I remember, because she wanted to pass an amnesty law which would have de facto covered Thaksin! 😆 -

Thaksin has his own communication channel upwards and doesn't need any mediation by the army. The army will do what it is told to do. -
Trump's legal defeat in Colorado may turn into political gold

The share of 'independent' journalists has grown from 32.5% to 51.7%. It contradicts the claim that Media are increasingly left-wing. If your reasoning is relevant, this study shows that they are increasingly unbiased. -

Sure, why waste time prosecuting an ex-president who tried to steal elections,! 😁- On top of it, it may even have negative consequences, such as preventing other politicians to do the same later! A lost opportunity for entertainment! 😆 -

Trump says he didn't know his immigration rhetoric echoes Hitler. That's part of a broader pattern https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-didnt-know-immigration-153005603.html -

Easy reply. A lot of Republicans listened to anti-vaccine nutters and represent 2/3 of post-vaccine period excess deaths. 🤣 Republicans' excess death rate spiked after COVID-19 vaccines arrived, a study says https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189939229/covid-deaths-democrats-republicans-gap-study Almost twice as many Republicans than Democrats died of Covid, study says https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/republicans-died-double-democrats-covid-b2227425.html For COVID-19 vaccinations, party affiliation matters more than race and ethnicity https://www.brookings.edu/articles/for-covid-19-vaccinations-party-affiliation-matters-more-than-race-and-ethnicity/ Quite Darwinian it seems! 😅 -

Ok. So you don't have in mind any witness who has been ignored and who could have exonerated Trump. I don't know about 3). Questions 1 and 2 are irrelevant because Pelosi was not in charge of Capitol security (or do you believe Trump?). -

Still mysterious... which tough questions should have been asked? How could it exonerate Trump? -

I wrote multiple because there have been multiple witnesses and other evidence against Trump. So who could becthese few witnesses? So Nancy may have exonerated Trump? That's interesting? How? -

So 2.3% advantage with a different aggregation method. Also not a big deal. -

Thanks for posting it. So on average, Trump scores 1.3% better than Biden. It's not a big advantage and doesn't justify your continuous flow of spams anticipating a total electoral failure. -

It could well be that Trump was aware his plan was <deleted> up, and that's why he put the withdrawal date after elections. -

So now Biden is responsible for global wholesale oil prices! I didn't know he was that powerful. Is he also responsible for snow in winter? -

Well, well.... Jan. 6 Rally Organizers Lied About Plan to March to the Capitol, Report Finds Women for America First, which planned the rally on the Ellipse, knew of President Donald J. Trump’s plans to have his supporters march to the Capitol but repeatedly denied it to federal permitting officials. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/18/us/politics/jan-6-capitol-rally-report.html A White House liaison to the rally organizers sent a text message on Jan. 3 to Women for America First regarding a demonstration at the Ellipse. “POTUS expectations are intimate and then send everyone over to the Capitol,” the message said, according to the report. Katrina Pierson, a Trump spokeswoman, had sent an email on Jan. 2, 2021, with nearly identical language. ....... On Jan. 4, Kylie Jane Kremer wrote in a text message: “POTUS is going to have us march there/the Capitol.” She added: “It can also not get out about the march because I will be in trouble with the National Park Service and all the agencies, but POTUS is going to just call for it ‘unexpectedly.’” -

Another good news for the U.S.! The United States is producing more oil than any country in history https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/19/business/us-production-oil-reserves-crude/index.html "The United States is set to produce a global record of 13.3 million barrels per day of crude and condensate during the fourth quarter of this year, according to a report published Tuesday by S&P Global Commodity Insights. Last month, weekly US oil production hit 13.2 million barrels per day, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That’s just above the Donald Trump-era record of 13.1 million set in early 2020 just before the Covid-19 crisis sent output and prices crashing."
