Biden needs to add focus on Florida's fast growing Latino population that that I feel he ignored in the 2020 election, losing to Trump in Florida. In 2020 (pewresearch.org): About 2.5 million Latinos registered to vote in Florida for the 2020 presidential election, making up a record 17% of the state’s total. The state had the largest Latino electorate among all battleground states and the third-largest Latino electorate overall (3.1 million eligible voters), trailing only California (7.9 million) and Texas (5.6 million). Consider: Florida has "open borders" of 2,170km along its coastline, not including the Keys. Among Latino American adults surveyed by Pew Research who identified as multiracial, about 40% reported their race as "white" on standard race question as used on the US Census. A majority of Hispanics (57%) in the US say abortion should be legal in most or all cases. pewresearch.org

Minority governments in power for almost a decade, for the Thai People it can only be "take it."

More foreign workers trafficking into Thailand.

Remembering the PTP represented the minority.

That doesn't mean the AF holds title to the property that should otherwise be held by Thailand Treasury which finances the military through annual disbursements collected from Thailand taxpayers. It's as if the Thai military has its own sovereignty vs the sovereignty of the Thai electorate.

aka representatives of the Thai electorate. The Thai Senate "deselection" candidate system seems similar to the communist one-party system wherein the CP selects candidates who can run for office. But actually marginally superior to the Thailand EC (?) deselection system as a one-party nation electorate still can directly vote for the candidates.

Hardly. "Can the rip-roaring good times for the stock market last?" by David Brancaccio, Meredith Garretson, and Erika Soderstrom, March 14, 2024 marketplace.org The S&P 500 is up about 32% in a year. That’s more than quadruple the 30-year average (inflation-adjusted dividends reinvested). The S&P has returned 11% a year in real terms. For Americans living abroad receiving USD income, foreign service and product costs boost spending power. Albeit import of American products may reduce or disappear from markets as Thai importers lose margins.

If "real workers" means private company employees, it would appear so within a 'short horizon' : "TDRI study finds higher lifetime remuneration for civil servants" , date unknown tdri.or.th "Despite lower monthly pay, civil servants’ lifetime remuneration is higher than private companies’ employees, regardless of education levels The value of benefits gained by civil servants accounts for half of their lifetime income, while that of employees in private firms is relatively lower." But TDRI seems to end with something of a reversal: "salary adjustments should be focused on high-ranking civil servants. The number of new civil servants with low skills should also be limited and their jobs should also be outsourced to private firms" Was that 'have senior civil service get richer' at the expense of entry/lower level civil service ranks?

Isn't it an "allegation" that is being investigated, ie., based on hearsay and/or circumstantial evidence? In which case convictable evidence, if there is any, would need be discovered and/or confirmed by the investigation and not be apparent before hand.

Who's the current PM?

There might also be Thailand natural resources that over the decades have been part of land granted to the military, ie., allegefly for military maneuvers. Such could include embedded timber, coal, minerals, etc. Whose income should belong to the Thai people.

Make that tax-free income. Such income should be deducted from the military's budget by the House.

Thailand's application is likely to fail if only for the fact that the Human Rights Commission of Thailand accreditation was downgraded by the UN Sub-Committee on Accreditation in 2015 due to numerous deficiencies that I believe were caused by the NCPO Junta's re-write of the Thai constitution. Essentially the HRCT lost its autonomy and became subservient to the Junta government. As I recall for example, any report on the status of Thailand's human rights had to be reviewed by the government who had editorial right over HRCT's reports before publication. And nothing has been done legislatively to gain that endorsement. I've not seen in any new proposed constitution drafts or proposed amended laws by the Thavisin regime that would cause the HRCT to achieve independence and neutrality required by the SCA for accreditation. Without such basic changes, Thavisin can cheerlead his intents, hopes and aspirations, but will not succeed without specific legislative actions.

It seems a paradox that the Thailand legislative assemblies that created such laws cannot now amend those laws - legislative actions granted by the constitution. While sovereignty of the nation is held by Thai citizens as stated in every Thai constitution that I've seen, apparently possessing sovereignty is not synonymous with execising it.

Unlike "British" English, American English perhaps reflecting a broad freedom of speech in America's history (who cares about Webster?) was influenced by the trans-Atlantic slave trade bringing into America languages from Africa, wars with Indian aborigines, vast Latino immigrations, Mexican-American and Spanish-American wars, and vast number of Chinese immigrants involved in the Western gold rush, building railroads, mining and agriculture. Of course from the beginning of America was the immigration of European citizens seeking greater personal freedoms and economic gain.

If condoms were handed out, it's likely they were made in Thailand. Thailand’s export of condoms accounts for 44% of the world's market share. Thailand.prd.go.th So what's the point of passing them put on ship?

At first I thought this might be a diplomatic faux pas. Normally meeting between two nations is quid pro quo in terms of leadership: Head of Government meets with Head of Government, Head State meets with Head of State. The Sultan is a Head of State and PM Thavison is Head of Government. That seems inappropriate fir a meeting. But the Sultan is an absolute Monarch which also makes him also Head of Government, so consistent with the meeting in Thailand with Thavison.

What his long can Trump hold in his gas or stay awake?

Isn't that embedded in Thai culture and tradition? As such a constitution might be unnecessary to that end. A similar case arose with drafting the 2014 Interim Charter wherein some pro-junta Buddhist leadership wanted to make Buddhism the official state religion. As I recall, the junta response was that Buddhism was already deeply embedded in Thai culture and state sponsored that it didn't need the protection of a constitution. And that to me really begs the question of the purpose in general of any constitution (North Korea, Russia, Iran and China have one) and specifically the 34 constitutional monarchies (as of 2023) in the world as to their degree of representing the power of democratic sovereign citizens, if that was ever the intent. Where constitutions define the legal authority of sovereign citizens through their power of elections, legislation and referendums, it stands to follow that the authority of the monarchy would be similarly defined, ie., through elected officials and public approval. There was no such power for example within an absolute monarchy as existed in Thailand prior to the military overthrow in 1932. To summarize, the electorate must have complete understanding, open debate and freedom of speech as to the endorsement of any kind of constitution for it defines their society, rights and future.

That didn't 't happen when the junta NCPO wrote the 2014 Interim Charter after it abolished the 2007 Constitution. Regarding the 2019 draft constitution also written by the junta leadership, it was completed in full prior to the referendum. Because it was illegal to publicly debate the draft, few Thais I believe really understood what the significance and impact the draft would have on their lives. As a result I believe the referendum was mostly directed towards a couple novel changes from previous constitutions such as the election of a PM who was not a member of the House and allowing the unelected Senate (then entirely appointed by the junta) to vote in conjunction with the House for PM. While the referendum accepted all the junta's new version by a majority of votes cast, it was not accepted by the majority of registered voters. As I recall the Election Commission suggested that passing the referendum be based on majority of registered voters by overruled by the junta.

This fleet deployed from San Diego, California in January 2024 for service in the Western Pacific. It appears Thailand was its first break from duty. A fleet commander would be very specific to the ship captains, sailors and officers as to the decorum expected on landing in Thailand for a shore break and the consequences otherwise during the long months back to US.

"probably" is not determinative. That's not a term normally used by US intelligence agencies. When the US intelligence agencies told POTUS Obama of Bin Laden's location in Pakistan, they didn't say "probably" but cited 75% certainty in his location - that's determinative. So it was ordered by Putin but for another specific moment (time and/or date)? So did soviet bureaucracy get ahead of Putin with miscommunication as to when Navalny was to be murdered or that Putin made a last minute decision to delay Navalny's murder and chain of command was late to relay Putin's change?

Or heart so damaged by impact that threw him into the air that it could not provide normal blood pressure to the body?

Nothing revolutionary as the former Islamic Kingdom of Patani has been trying to at least gain a special status with Thailand for the last 100 years.
