  1. More interesting is the ratio debt/GDP, as debt in usually assessed as a % of GDP It 's easy to spot under which President it increased most. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/government-debt-to-gdp
  2. Trump would be easier to beat, indeed. That's why I am not so keen about it. However, if the SC decides to ban him, so be it! The law is the law.
  3. Gag! I remember Trump was very proud of being able to remember a few words.😃 'Person, woman, man, camera, TV': Trump insists cognitive test was difficult https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/23/person-woman-man-camera-tv-trump-insists-cognition-test-was-difficult “Person, woman, man, camera, TV,” Trump explained, saying that listing the words in order was worth “extra points”, and that he found the task easy. “They said nobody gets it in order, it’s actually not that easy. But for me it was easy. And that’s not an easy question,” he told Fox News medical analyst and New York University professor of medicine Marc K Siegel. 🤣
  4. The testimonies have been transcribed and checked by the witnesses themselves. As usual, you have nothing!
  5. Singapore is a very specific case, but after a short look, it doesn't seem to fare better than the U.S. recently re. GDP growth or inflation.
  6. No one's perfect! At least he did not promise Mexico will pay for it! 😃
  7. I'm not aware of any advanced economy faring better than the U.S., from an economic point of view.
  8. About the second point: sure, we all know the army always obeys the government in this country! 😁 About the first one: you are right. In a democratic country, there would have been an investigation and people responsible for It would have been convicted. Why did the army and the Dems bury the case, as it would have been the ideal occasion to nail Thaksin?
  9. It was Jan.6 anniversary. 😊
  10. More Biden's failure! 😃 U.S. payrolls increased by 216,000 in December, much better than expected https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/05/jobs-report-december-2023-payrolls-increased-by-216000-in-december.html
  11. It should have been investigated and all the people responsible for it convicted! Any idea why the army and the Dems buried the investigation, while Thaksin was already ousted?
  12. For those who approved Abhisit's behaviour in 2010, and are now complaining about the fate imposed to MFP, a reminder of the sequence of events: Abhisit refuses to dissolve house before nomination of army chief => Prayut army chief => coup => Junta constitution => Senators elect PM => MFP PM rejected
  13. No party has any exclusivity on morons. It's just that one party has much more than the other. Ex. Poll: 46 Percent Of Trump Voters Believe ‘Pizzagate’ Theory https://dcist.com/story/16/12/28/poll/ Poll: 61 Percent of Trump Supporters Are Birthers https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/09/61-percent-of-trump-supporters-are-birthers.html
  14. Nobody would have died if Abhisit had done like Yingluck. Both had their legimity contested (Abhisit hadn't even been elected PM in the previous elections). One dissolved the house, switched to caretaker mode, and organised elections. The other wanted to wait until after the new army chief would be appointed in September, and sent the troops. You know who became army chief, the same Prayut who was commanding the army in Bangkok when the 19 May slaughter happened.
  15. Do you know who 'asked' Thaksin to do the war on drugs? (Don't tell who did it, just yes or no)? (Hint: there have been no completed investigation about the war on drugs, even after Thaksin was ousted. It's been buried by the army and the Dems) Do you know who took the initiative in the Tak Hai incident? (You can answer more explicitly to this one)
  16. Of course, nothing to do with the fact that they had been slaughtered by the army the same day, included in a temple! 😃
  17. Gag! Trump received more money from enemies of the nation than Hunter Biden, when he was president! 😆 Forbes Estimates China Paid Trump At Least $5.4 Million Since He Took Office, Via Mysterious Trump Tower Lease https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2020/10/23/forbes-estimates-china-paid-trump-at-least-54-million-since-he-took-office-via-mysterious-trump-tower-lease/?sh=e8f0820ed11e
  18. So people were better off pre-Covid... What a surprise! It's the same in nearly every country in the world! 😃
  19. Not to mention that: - Trump and Epstein were co-defendents in a lawsuit for rape of an underage girl (ultimately withdrawn under threat) https://scribd.com/document/326057168/Jane-Doe-Declaration-as-Filed - Guiffre was working at MAL when she was recruited by Maxwell https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/09/epstein-mar-a-lago-trump-1456221
  20. You are lying. - According to the OP and other articles, "Former US President Clinton is also named in the court documents, although there is no implication of any illegality." - There is nothing like "Clinton visited pedo island, how many times...20, 30 more! Clinton was a frequent flyer to pedo island" (your words) - In the only link you provided, if accurate, the only time Clinton flew without his secret service detail is (quote from the Fox News article) "However, on a five-leg Asia trip between May 22 and May 25, 2002, not a single Secret Service agent is listed."
  21. The only good news is that the new Senate will not elect PMs any more.
  22. In short, the new Senators will be appointed according to a complex system making sure they will be selected by the yellow-green network (also called the old elite). Not by the government. Oh, and they will ultimately need to be approved by the current Senate. That's how it works in Thailand, appointed people appoint each other, and they all belong to the same network.
  23. It's completely incoherent. One the one hand, you are claiming that the fact that Trump flew on Epstein's jet does not necessarily mean he was a paedo, and on the other hand you are also claiming Clinton was a paedo because he flew on Epstein's jet (with his secret service detail, BTW).
  24. Not sure they need to go to Thailand for a quickie. However, it may be an opportunity to drink alcohol.
