Red Shirts in Korat Gather to Welcome Thaksin at Don Mueang Airport
They were protesting to get elections. As far as I know the fire in the picture you posted was started after the killings.

I am not claiming that they are perfect, but they are in no way comparable to the yellow shirts, the Juntas and their puppets (including. Abhisit at the time).

Ok, they don't seem to bother much, for now. However, it doesn't cancel the fact that they always fought for elections and elected government. So they are not equivalent to the Junta and the yellow shirts.

Maybe they were a bit angry after being massacred by the army?

When did the red-shirt protest against Pita?

And it is exactly a false equivalence.

Haven't they always fought for elections and elected government? So now It's their fault if Pita cannot become PM, not the Junta's Senate?

Hunter Biden: Plea deal for president's son collapses in dramatic court hearing
1. Mainly Trump's DOJ. Most of the events mentioned by the WB occured during Trump's mandate. And there is no proof it was obstruction, just a "perception" 2. So now companies having business with Chinese, Ukrainian or Romanian companies can be accused of working with foreign adversaries? That's laughable!

Hunter Biden: Plea deal for president's son collapses in dramatic court hearing
Well, if his testimony confirms what the NYPost wrote about it (the article cited as the source of the DM article), you may be disappointed. Quote: "VP Biden greeted the Ukrainians but spoke only in vague pleasantries during the short call, and in other such interactions with Hunter’s overseas business partners, Archer is expected to testify." https://nypost.com/2023/07/23/hunter-biden-put-then-vp-dad-joe-on-the-phone-with-business-associates-at-least-2-dozen-times-ex-partner-devon-archer-to-testify/

Nigel Farage: ‘Brexit has failed’
Well , Germany is the lowest and we know why. UK is the second lowest and we also know why. As to the FT article, it is based on outdated data. According to the latest data available, the current level of UK GDP is below pre-pandemic level. You can check here (updated 25 July) https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/#:~:text=In Q1 2023%2C the UK,0.5% fall in Q4 2022.

Nigel Farage: ‘Brexit has failed’
From the linked article: "The UK is still expected to be the second slowest growing nation in the G7 group of leading economies this year" The good news is also that UK may finally catch-up the pre-pandemic level at the end of this year! ????

Because they are not as obsessed by Hunter Biden as you are?

Trump says he's been indicted in classified docs probe
"And so I had to write this incandescently stupid memo called something like, 'Afghanistan, How to Put America First and Win.' And then bullet by bullet, I summed up this highly classified memo into Trump's sort of bombastic language because it was the only way he was gonna understand," Taylor added. "I mean, I literally said in there, 'You know, if we leave Afghanistan too fast, the terrorists will call us losers. But if we wanna be seen as winners, we need to make sure the Afghan forces have the strength to push back against these criminals.' I mean, it was that dumb and that's how you had to talk to him." ???? https://news.yahoo.com/incandescently-stupid-former-dhs-official-145845005.html

Sanctions may be imposed on Hunter Biden's attorney after allegations of lying in a criminal tax case
Sweetheart deal! Lol! That's only your biased interpretation. The fact that Hunter Biden's attorney refused the new deal and advised his client to plead not guilty is surely not an indicator that the final outcome will be worse than the initial deal. From the article you linked: "Both sides had motivation to reach an agreement. For Hunter Biden, this was a chance to close the books on a tax investigation that has been hanging over him for years. For prosecutors, the deal avoided the risks of trying a case in Biden-friendly Delaware, against a defendant who failed to file taxes while in the throes of addiction. "

Inside McCarthy’s sudden warming to a Biden impeachment inquiry
Ok. There have been money transfers (actually they were known before the WB mentioned them). Then It's a matter of "if": if this money was related to something illegal (no evidence of it yet), and if Joe was involved (also no evidence of it) in these activities (about which there is yet no evidence of illegality).

Hunter. The WB doesn't claim Joe received money. So It's irrelevant for claiming Joe should be impeached, as you did.
