Trump doesn't take personal insults and attacks laying down. I believe Twitter is not a credible enough source for Thaivisa so I will have to copy and paste Mr Dingell's tweet from his official page which is still active.
"@JohnDingell
On behalf of so many of my fellow veterans: Please take two running jumps and go to hell, Mr. Trump."
So I think the boys are about equal now. Probably a good idea for fake news media to let this one rest.
Is there no end to your sycophantic adoration of Trump?
When he allowed his people to ignore congressional subpoenas and essentially trample all over the constitution, you defended him.
When he denigrated his own intelligence services in favour of world dictators, you defended him.
When he defrauded his own charity (I still can't believe he is in office after that) you defended him.
He insults a veteran lawmaker after his death and still you defend him.
It's absolutely true when Trump says he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and ... wouldn’t lose voters.” Especially when they are so into his cult as you obviously are.

Well the dems strung the process out for one more day of news cycle. They showed what sleaze balls they are last night by delaying the vote. You watch the mainstream news such as CNN and NBC and you would think the world is ending.
You go outside and you see restaurants and bars full, people shopping, record holiday sales and an all around feeling of good cheer.
Watching any of the current crew of dems quoting great historical figures is so comical. It reminds me of Bentsen telling Quayle. "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator you're no Jack Kennedy."
Maybe Schiff can show up dressed as Ben Franklin next.
The whole thing is so phony baloney.
You go outside and you see restaurants and bars full, people shopping, record holiday sales and an all around feeling of good cheer. They seem unaware that none of this is making a difference in everyday life. 90% of the American public don't spend hours everyday obsessing about this.
I pray for Pelosi and the dems every night. It brings me no great joy to watch them fail so badly.
This is the equivalent of asking someone to comment on climate change by asking them to look out the window.

There are many, MANY grey areas that are worthy of debate, but these are not. If you will support a man (who has been proven to be a liar, an adulterer, a cheat, a racist, a homophobe) calling a foreign country to get them involved in a U.S. election, then you are no patriot. It's just that simple.

I see we have the usual Trump apologists out again today.
Your POTUS (as he isn't that for a lot of people) has undermined the constitutional strength of the US from the day he was elected and with this debacle, is trying to say the office of POTUS is bigger and more important than the checks and balances put in place by the Founding Fathers.
Whether it's getting his people to ignore congressional subphoenas (John Eisenberg, legal adviser to the National Security Council, his deputy, Michael Ellis, Robert Blair, a top aide to acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Mick Mulvaney himself and Brian McCormack, an aide at the White House Office of Management and Budget have all refused congressional subpoenas to appear at the hearings); or article 1 of the Constitution, which vests the House with the ‘sole power of impeachment' to which he has obstructed and directly challenged at every turn; or Clause 8 of the Constitution, which bars federal officeholders from accepting gifts from foreign governments (whilst Trump's continues to host foreign leaders in the Trump International Hotel in Washington or his attempt to get the G7 conference at Trump National in Miami amongst his many, many, many misdemeanors), his duty to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States' is obviously not there.
Whether you believe or don't believe Trump is guilty of 'high crimes and misdemeanors' there is a more important battle going on that will shape the US for decades to come. Does one man have the power and the ability to ignore congress and defy the Constitution that so many Americans hold sacred?
And let's be under no illusions, this is EXACTLY what Trump is doing.
So cry 'pure theatre' or 'nothing to see here' but your willful ignorance of these very important points really negates all of your arguments and paints you as more anti-American than any Trump detractor can ever be as at least they have Americas interests at the very heart of their debate.
What do you have?

Man, just go on expat facebook at look at all the "recruiters" flashing their TIT enticing Indians to send them a resume with is obviously some boiler room scam on commission and no work permit.
You only get a good job in Thailand if your company transfers you. Everything else kiss it goodbye.
English gig by comparison if you have a degree is actually a godsent.
WATCH FOR SCAMMERS!!!!
What absolute nonsense.
'I used to lolz at people coming to Canada expecting to find a job in 7 days while in reality it takes years, yet Farang expects a Thai to give him a job in IT?'
The I.T. sector in Thailand is booming. There are plenty of companies out there looking for all level of skills and because many of them are either BOI or already have plenty of Thai staff, they can hire foreigners. If however you are more a trainer than an actual IT guy, your main obstacle will be your lack of Thai language (obviously training people means training ALL people). It makes it harder for you but certainly not impossible. If I were you I'd start looking at western type companies who have large teams of IT staff (IBM, Agoda, Lazada, Accenture etc) and talk directly to their HR teams or better still, if they have a Training Manager, talk to him/her. Secondly I'd get on Jobs DB and start looking at companies who are doing a lot of recruiting (there are currently over 3,000 IT jobs on this site alone) and again, start talking to HR. You can also sign up for their jobs by email service, that notifies you when new jobs come in. Also, get yourself on LinkedIn and also try and link with individuals with similar experience than you. Perhaps they will have an opportunity at their company. You can also get in touch with the recruitment agencies, a list of which can be found at http://www.thaiwebsites.com/recruitment.asp
'You only get a good job in Thailand if your company transfers you. Everything else kiss it goodbye'.
Perhaps in the old days this may have been true but it certainly isn't now. Demand is outstripping supply and with the advent of Thailand 4.0 (https://thaiembdc.org/thailand-4-0-2/), Thailand is trying to position itself as a cluster for innovation and start ups. This will see an increase in what is known as New Technology (date analysing, data science, AI, blockchain, finntech etc). If you like the idea of IT training then perhaps you could update your skills to include these areas which would make you a much more valuable commodity. Talking of money, you have to legally be paid a minumum of 50k THB per month (non-teaching roles) but with your current skills you should be looking at a salary of 70k to 100k (very max) although product knowledge in new technology would add another 25-30% on top of that (https://adecco.co.th/salary-guide).
Getting a good job for a foreigner isn't as easy as for a Thai (obviously) but all it takes is a little bit of thought and a lot more work. Don't expect the job to come to you but with a concrete plan and 'putting yourself out there' you'll be surprised.
Best of luck.
P.S. If you want to know how I know all this, I'm the MD of one of Thailands largest Executive search agencies.
P.P.S. I'd offer to help you myself but I'm afraid we only deal with executive level roles.

I thought Trump fans would jump on the fact that Sondland had confirmed the “no quid pro” conversation and, as usual, that Sondland wasn’t personally privy to being specifically told by Trump himself that aid was dependent on the investigation into the Bidens (just sooo predictable). But there are people who were in that actual conversation i.e. Bolton, Pompeo, Mulvaney and everyone’s favorite lawyer Giuliani. Now if only they could be compelled to appear and clear everything up then I think it would all become much, much clearer. Im not sure how to do that though. Maybe some sort of congressional request. You know, something that shouldn’t be ignored. Maybe like a subpoena.
Any reason why these people are refusing to obey a congressional subpoena Trump fans other than they know they will have to commit perjury to defend Trump?
No? Thought so.

It was briefly mentioned and then vanished from sight. Hard to put much credence in something that can't even be used to beat the Donald with, and we've seen some pretty pointless nothing burgers being hailed as the next big thing by the anti Trump media machine over the past 2 years.
Wonder what the next "big thing" is going to be? Does anyone even keep count anymore, there have been so many?
Just to get this in perspective; the current President of the United States has been fined $2 million and has been forced to admit that he and his children had violated their fiduciary duties as officers and directors of a charity resulting in the fact that the current President of the United States cannot participate in running a charity every again in New York 'without substantial adult supervision'.
Bear in mind that anywhere else in the Western world and this would be an immediate resignation and/or firing.
Ok, so now this has been confirmed to you, does that change your view on him?

For good reasons it takes 2/3 vote in the Senate to remove a President from office. Why is that? So to prevent the Impeachment process from simply being a partisan tool for removing a President from Office without justification.
In the case of Nixon their was enough bi-partisan support to convict, so to save face he resigned.
In this case, there is no impeachable offense yet defined. Personally, I know exactly what is going on. This is still an attempt to illegally remove a President. It's dirty, unforgivable, and will end badly for this ruthless bunch of seditionist pigs. This stench filled Communist loving, war-mongering filthy mob of scumbag rats will end soon in a vast dump of indictments coming soon... an embarassing episode of American history from a the biggest crybabies ever to exist in the USA, "whah whah the President isn't polite" Get over it!
Any chance of actually disputing the facts or are you just going to go on a hate filled rampage against 'seditionist pigs'? If you genuinely think this is all about crying because the 'President isn't polite' then you haven't been paying attention.
Evidence is mounting on a daily basis that he did indeed commit bribery (an impeachable offence). Career dipomats of impeccable service to the US are putting their careers and their personal safety at risk to testify as such. Yovanovitch has testified under oath that she was pulled back to Washington to clear the way for Trump allies to persuade Ukraine to launch corruption probes into Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Bill Taylor has confirmed there was a conversation between Sondland and Trump overheard from a staffer (David Holmes) and in turn Holmes has also testified under oath that he was present when Trump had asked Sondland “So, he’s going to do the investigation?” to which Sondland responded by saying that Zelensky “loves your ass,” that he would pursue the investigation, and that he would do “anything you ask him to.”
And then there's Gordon Sondland.
This is going to be the the Dems star witness. A Trump appointee and a man who was actually on the calls and is deep, deep in the middle of it all. Now we already know that Sondland has changed his tune in a new, revised statement were he has testified “I said that resumption of the U.S. aid would likely not occur until Ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement that we had been discussing for many weeks,” but since he has also categorily denied there was any 'quid pro quo/bribery' in previous statements it will be super interesting to see which story he will stick to this week, especially now there is a clear threat of perjury. Many think he has no choice other than to come completely clean and honestly tell the world what was actually said in those calls.
So rant and rage as much as you want. Blame 'seditionist pigs' and 'Communist loving, war-mongering filthy mob of scumbag rats' but I wonder how you are going to defend Trump when Sondland confirms all the other witness testimonies are true and accurate? Your boy only has himself to blame as he put himself in this situation and the noose is tightening. Hopefully it will be the end to this embarrassment of a POTUS but knowing the gutless GPO's in the Senate I'm afraid it's just the beginning.

20 hours ago, Tippaporn said:Well then, you're admitting that you believe President Zelensky was lying. You won't believe he spoke the truth in all of the interviews he gave to all of the press agencies.
Well, to put it another way, since it's not a question that you want to see Trump impeached and removed from office then you cannot, cannot believe President Zelensky spoke the truth. Because to do so you would then no longer be able to argue for impeachment. Do you understand that you are prohibited, due to your single focus for impeachment, to argue fairly or objectively?
This is why I posted earlier:
To slightly rephrase an Upton Sinclair quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his
salarybias and political leanings depends upon his not understanding it."Do you understand the truth of that statement, bristolboy? I sure do. And so do a whole lot of other people on these threads.
And since the truth is opposite your desire then by hook or crook you will lie, cheat or steal or do anything else that is required to squash the truth. This is how deranged the left is. They are willing to destroy America as long as they can get Trump.
Everyone knows it, bristolboy. It's not a secret. It's all out in the open.
Do you understand the hypocrisy of your argument 'Do you understand that you are prohibited, due to your single focus for impeachment, to argue fairly or objectively? when you in turn constantly argue with very little fairness and absolutely no objectivity?
Evidence is mounting on a daily basis but you (and we are not holding our breath you ever will) have never said a bad word against Trump and the rest of his mafia gang. Career dipomats of impeccable service to the US are putting their careers and their personal safety at risk and still you berate, obfuscate and deflect along an increasingly desperate GOP's standard line (where's the whistleblower; it's all hearsay; but, but The Bidens). Yovanovitch has testified under oath that she was pulled back to Washington to clear the way for Trump allies to persuade Ukraine to launch corruption probes into Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Bill Taylor has confirmed there was a conversation between Sondland and Trump overheard from a staffer (David Holmes) and in turn Holmes has also testified under oath that he was present when Trump had asked Sondland “So, he’s going to do the investigation?” to which Sondland responded by saying that Zelensky “loves your ass,” that he would pursue the investigation, and that he would do “anything you ask him to.” Now I'm sure you will probably argue (yet again) that this is second hand hearsay as Holmes wasn't actually on the call which leads us nicely to 'memory man' Gordon Sondland.
This is going to be the the Dems star witness. A Trump appointee and a man who was actually on the calls and is deep, deep in the middle of it all. Now we already know that Sondland has changed his tune in a new, revised statement were he has testified “I said that resumption of the U.S. aid would likely not occur until Ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement that we had been discussing for many weeks,” but since he has also categorily denied there was any 'quid pro quo/bribery' in previous statements it will be super interesting to see which story he will stick to, especially now there is a clear threat of perjury. Personally I think he has no choice now other than to come completely clean and honestly tell the world what was actually said in those calls.
So berate Yovanovitch all you want for feeling threatened about Trumps tweets (like that's the important part of all of this) or for Bill Talyor only having 'hearsay' evidence because, you know, he wasn't actually on the call but I wonder how you are going to defend Trump when Sondland confirms all the other witness testimonies are true and accurate?
Oh and whilst we are are on the subject of berating witnesses, please keep in mind that John Eisenberg, legal adviser to the National Security Council, his deputy, Michael Ellis, Robert Blair, a top aide to acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Mick Mulvaney himself and Brian McCormack, an aide at the White House Office of Management and Budget (who previously worked for Energy Secretary Rick Perry) have all refused congressional subpoenas to impear at the impeachment hearings. This is on top of the scores of other Trump acolytes who have refused to appear at the hearings.
For someone with nothing to hide, Trumps doing a pretty damning job of hiding everyone who has first hand knowledge of all these conversations. Now I wonder why that could be?

No one is saying it isn't a problem but when you have Trump offering Ivanka a role that she has no experience in and is massively ill-equipped to handle and getting Jared to 'sort out the Middle East' alongside many other roles, then the word hypocrisy immediately springs to mind.
