Welcoming yourself now?

The troll is back

I know. However one does not need a pardon for the quasi-peanuts Hunter is currently accused of.

"Within weeks, Trump praised Putin for how he handled the takeover of Crimea and predicted that "the rest of Ukraine will fall ... fairly quickly." Echoing Kremlin propaganda, Trump said in a TV interview that the Crimean people "would rather be with Russia," a position he also pushed in private. One of his 2016 campaign aides falsely claimed that "Russia did not seize Crimea." https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/26/politics/trump-putin-ukraine/index.html

Pardon Hunter and Joe of what?

Most of the events evoked by the so-called IRS whistleblower occurred under Trump mandate, Barr's DOJ, a Republican FBI director, and with a Republican investigator. Same for discarding the 1023 form. So if the DOJ controls the investigation and did not find anything while it was controlled by Trump/Barr, it then exonerates Biden.

Plenty? Why are you unable to cite some of them? Or are you referring to Hunter's project of creating a JV with a Chinese company? That's not illegal. Thousands of businesses have JVs with Chinese firms. About the laptop/NYPost issue, blame Giuliani for giving the laptop content to the biased NYPost only, and not to the media. And also for giving the information one year after possessing it so that no convincing in-depth analysis could be made. And also for not providing the meta-data to authentify the information.

What incriminating evidence is there in the laptop? (Hint: the NYPost has been screening the laptop's content for years and hasn't shown any evidence yet).

What lies? They changed the calculation system. Using the SUT system instead of the previous one increased the level of GDP. Other European countries have not revised their estimates according to the SUT system, so It's now impossible to compare numbers.

Big Lie, birther, pizzagate, creationism etc.. it's mainly the same people. The problem is a lack of rationality and changing the election system won't change it. Nor will it prevent sore losers and liars like Trump to claim any B.S. that these people may swallow.

And what do you recommend against the pizzagate conspiracy? Put an online camera in the basement (which doesn't exist) of the pizzeria?

Is it worse than having incompetent criminals imposing themselves by force?

Prayut did not remove anyone. Yingluck quickly put herself in caretaker mode and called for new elections, as any decent democratic government should do when its legitimacy is seriously challenged. That was before the coup. What he did was to deprive people from the right to elect a government of their choice.

And 48% of them believe in creationism. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2014/01/03/republican-views-on-evolution-tracking-how-its-changed/ It's probably more or less the same guys who believe in Pizzagate, QAnon, birther, big lie, creationism, etc...

You are assuming they may be rational. Remember Pizzagate.... Poll: 46 Percent Of Trump Voters Believe ‘Pizzagate’ Theory https://dcist.com/story/16/12/28/poll/

"Trump on Truth Social accused James of defamation in an all-caps rant. "IN THE NYS A.G. LETITIA JAMES CASE, I WAS TARGETED, GIVEN NO JURY, NO EXTENSIONS, NO COMMERCIAL DIVISION, NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, NO ANYTHING!" he claimed. "THE DEMOCRAT JUDGE HATES TRUMP WITH A PASSION. THE THING I HAVE IS A GREAT CASE BASED ON PHENOMENAL NUMBERS THAT SHOW A NET WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE THAN SHE VICIOUSLY & FALSELY CLAIMED, VERY LITTLE DEBT, BIG CASH, A POWERFUL DISCLAIMER CLAUSE, PAID OFF LOANS, NO DEFAULTS, 'HAPPY' BANKS, GREAT ASSETS. I WAS DEFAMED BY NYS - ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" ???? https://news.yahoo.com/defamed-trump-melts-down-truth-153129441.html

I have the same feeling. Pothead haters seem to be often alcohol drinkers.

1. If the wealth and revenues of Joe Biden are explained by the sources of revenues declared, there's no reason to evoke other reasons. There is no unexplained wealth. 2. Most events stated by the so-called IRS whistleblowers occurred when Trump was President, with a Republican DOJ, a Republican FBI director and a Republican investigator. 3. As mentioned to you several times, the judge rejected the plea-deal in the interest of Hunter Biden (from the judge own words cited below). "Clark called the deal "null and void" after a prosecutor told the judge that Hunter Biden isn't immune from future charges in the investigation, including potential counts under the Foreign Agents Registration Act." "I have concerns about the agreement," Noreika said. "I can't let him plea to something if he thinks he has protection from something and he doesn't. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hunter-biden-plea-deal-court-judge/

If you read the 1023 form, you will read that the informant also stated that he was unable to corroborate the claim. As to Joe Biden accounts, he has published his tax returns and all his money had declared and legitimate sources.

At this time (2005), Trump was a Democrat. Then he saw more opportunities on the Republican side and switched (IMO easier for him to con Republican voters). "In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat", explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Donald_Trump

Please, don't break my dream of watching Trump campaigning from a prison cell!

What to say... Ahem... You know.... You've got nothing!

Well, it's a thin line between accepting and using ex. Abhisit has been used too. PT may enjoy a similar fate indeed.

Really? In general, were politicians before Thaksin less crook? And those after him, including military politicians? Yes the military had some support in Bangkok, because that was the propaganda. They have lost that support. Bangkok switched to MFP. Why? Because the previous virtuous establishment supporters understood that they (and the related political parties, including the Dems) fooled them, and that they were at least as corrupt as Thaksin.

Some may. However, the main problem is the increasing share of not controllable expenses: housing, utilities, transportation, insurance, etc... plenty of people don't have much left to spend after paying these incompressible expenses.
