  1. "Someone" not being the top 1 percent whose tax cuts will total $1.02 trillion over the next decade.
  2. But excluding mention of Russian execution of Ukraine's POWs, attacks directly against Ukrainian civilians and kidnapping of Ukraine children.
  3. Incorrect with regard to breach of sovereign rights and jurisdiction beyond 12 nautical miles from the baseline, wherein the coastal state has absolute sovereignty. 24 nautical miles from the baseline, the coastal state has limited sovereignty to enforce laws related to customs, taxation, immigration, and sanitation, according to the International Maritime Organization. But not outright blanket sovereignty, ie., prevent foreign intrusion. 200 nautical miles from the baseline, where the coastal state has sovereign rights only over natural resources (e.g., fishing, oil, gas). But cannot deny freedom of travel to the extent of conducting survey lines of sight; however, a survey of seabed and/or beneath seabed for potential resource extraction would not be (I believe) considered legal freedom of travel. (1 nautical mile = 1.852 Km = 1.15 miles)
  4. Still unconstitutional unless US citizenship was obtained illegally or through fraud in their original application.
  5. Then require a permanent 100% elected Senate. Will the military commit to having no military appointed to the Senate nor military selected in the Senate? That would be a "significant shift in Thailand's governance landscape."
  6. Who now is the Minister of Culture. House waiting for the new PM.
  7. Irony. Both employed in the auto industry.
  8. Prosecution has also gone after private OnlyFans accounts. The law is apparently not limited to public access.
  9. He had a lot of balls smuggling this wildlife. Lame I know.
  10. The "Thai Senate cannot be dissolved. It has a fixed, non-renewable, five-year term. The Senate members are appointed, not elected, and serve their full term regardless of the political climate." (Google) Incidentally, the Senate members have been selected by pro-military committees. The House can be dissolved by a House majority no-confidence vote or by the PM. Then a national election must be held (apart from a military coup in 2014). But as we've seen twice now since 2023 (I believe) the CC can unilaterally remove the PM without dissolving the House (thus preserving present House majority) and the House majority then selects the PM. No messy national election results that otherwise might give the People's Party a majority coalition.
  11. Isn't that what the government originally offered when it decriminalized cannabis? Reversing the law doesn't "offer new commercial avenues." It restricts avenues.
  12. When the flood reaches your waistline, you probably don't need an alert.
  13. Correct, can't call them Muslim Separatists. An insurgency is a rebellion. They are Malay Muslims who seek to REGAIN their former nation's sovereignty the Kingdom of Patani that was forcefully annexed by Buddhist Thailand in violation of a Peace Treaty to become a Thailand Province. Since 2014 the Thai government has allegedly sought peace negotiations but to date - nothing. They are not separatists seeking to create a new Muslim state.
  14. Blame it on the Constitution that does not allow discrimination based on gender. But then Trump and his attorneys tell the courts F*** the Constitution.
  15. Doesn't come close to the $83.3 million Trump must pay to the writer E. Jean Carroll over defamatory remarks he made about her while he was president in response to her rape accusation.
  16. They are not Australians but Aboriginal Natives. Much like the American Indian is not American but one of the many indigenous natives such as the Black Foot, Apache and Mohawks. They were and are "nations" with their own languages, histories, and cultural traditions. In Thailand they were Malay Muslims of the Kingdom of Patani but after forced annexation into the Kingdom of Siam they became Thai Malay Muslims.
  17. Did Google Earth get it right that the Gulf of Mexico should become the Gulf of America?
  18. In this case balcony railings are irrelevant. Read again.
  19. Substantial down payment was paid years ago under the Prayut regime and his "arranged" Parliament approved an installment plan to payoff the balance of the acquisition. That plan cannot be altered nor delayed without agreement from China. So whatever the current Parliament decides now is already committed. The so-called "Chinese engine" is actually Chinese generator that will be modified to operate as a propulsion engine. China will certify the "engine" as functional (?) but note that China does not use the generator on any of its submarines as an engine! So what is a certification really worth?
  20. By who and what examination was conducted? Was it an actual dentist or a general practitioner doctor who is guessing based on what information? I can't believe a licensed dentist particularly in a hospital wouldn't run a couple of tests to confirm any suspicion for symptoms. Then there is the oral and maxillofacial surgeon who focuses on diagnosing and managing a wide range of oral conditions, including infections, ulcers, and other mucosal abnormalities.
  21. Take your pick: "Russia aims to capture Odesa and threaten Moldova and Romania, Zelenskyy warns," https://www.euronews.com/ "Putin says Romania, Poland may now be in Russia's cross-hairs," https://www.reuters.com/ "Russian spy chief threatens Poland and Baltic States," https://www.aljazeera.com/
  22. Unlike Vietnam with beachfront properties wherein the Trump Organization can brand its name on Condos, casinos, etc, But maybe there might be a place for a Big Beautiful Area for a Trump Golf Course complex? Just make sure any solar and wind farms are not nearby.
  23. Vietnam is a communist country.
