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.

There is obviously a grey zone concerning these media shares. That's the ideal condition for a political decision. A relevant questions in this perspective: is it better to get him now, or later by another mean?

Well, Trump would have disagreed with you in 2018, as he changed the law to make mishandling of classified information a felony! ???? https://www.businessinsider.com/law-trump-signed-2018-may-punish-him-classified-info-2022-8?r=US&IR=T It confirms how dumb he is! He changed the law, upgraded the penalty, bragged about it as usual.... And the first thing he did after leaving office was to infringe the same law he signed! Dumber than dumb!

It's just a kind attention. Some people like to read when in toilets! ????

Sure. However, in order to change it, one needs to change the Constitution, and in order to change the Constitution one needs the approval of appointed bodies such as the appointed Senate and the appointed Constitutional court, and possibly the appointed Supreme court. None of them being appointed by the elected government. It comes full circle.

And that's the bitch some people would like to have as VP!

Have you read the article? ???? The title is: The Poland “no Muslims no terror” map is seriously misleading

Don't dream. In order to be able to amend the Constitution, he needs the approval of at least one third of senators.

They don't realise anything because in Thailand, an elected government has no power on the Judiciary, and also on the semi-judiciary such as the EC, the NACC, etc... They are completely safe, and on top of it will be rewarded at the end of their mandate by being appointed to another position.

I had a look at Fox News and I was struck by the fact they were quite explicitly showing the main elements of the indictment: the charges, the pictures, Of course, there were always commentators making the usual reflections, but the general tune was "It's a damning indictment, but..." ( choose between the following options: Biden/Ukraine, weaponization, no harm done, etc...)

Before a MAGA posters comes up with this claim... “Recent media reports have generated a large number of queries about Presidential records and the Presidential Records Act (PRA)," the Archives said in the statement. "The PRA requires that all records created by Presidents (and Vice-Presidents) be turned over to the National Archives and Records" Administration (NARA) at the end of their administrations." “There is no history, practice, or provision in law for presidents to take official records with them when they leave office to sort through, such as for a two-year period as described in some reports," the Archives said. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/donald-trump-national-archives-presidential-records-act

Good luck with that one! ????
