  1. My Mobile bank app says I need to register my National ID to use PromptPay. I don't have a National ID. So not possible to use?
  2. Will someone like Elon just buy the intellectual property, trademarks, and even social media accounts of Infowars and give it back to Jones?
  3. It didn't work for Roseanne Bar until she met MAGA and Tucker Carlson.
  4. You don't need AI to do this. Just listen to Trump and Vance.
  5. Look what's in plain sight. Putin wants genocide of every Ukrainian. Trump could care less.
  6. It is a privilege and right for the US Head of State POTUS to meet foreigner leaders and/or their representative ambassadors and does not require congressional approval.
  7. It might also highlight the failure of peace talks re-initiated by PM Prayut started in March 2020 in the aftermath of the failed negotiations with PM Yingluck Shinawatra's inability to contain the Thai army's objections in circa 2013. The RTM argued Thailand's sovereignty is undivided and cannot allow as defenders of the state the Southern Muslim 90% occupied provinces (former Muslim Kingdom of Patani) to have semi-autonomy. Coincidentally, Gen. Prayut led a military coup in 2014 to overthrow the Yingluck government.
  8. Home buyers is such flood prone areas can get flood insurance. Much of South Florida is barely above sea level but flood insurance is available. The monthly cost is ridiculously cheap compared to potential damage. Wikipedia: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a program created by the Congress of the United States in 1968 through the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-448). The NFIP has two purposes: to share the risk of flood losses through flood insurance and to reduce flood damages by restricting floodplain development. The program enables property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance protection, administered by the government, against losses from flooding, and requires flood insurance for all loans or lines of credit that are secured by existing buildings, manufactured homes, or buildings under construction, that are located in the Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that participates in the NFIP.
  9. "In Uthai Thani province, the government commenced disbursing 10,000 baht to vulnerable groups and those with disabilities." Where do you get credit from an ATM?
  10. Could it be as much a cause really by all the recent "bad press" about alleged misbehavior and violence by foreign tourists and/or by Thais in response to foreign tourists in areas like Phuket and Pattaya? I also thought that Thailand as a recent supporter of BRIC currency (Brazil, Russia, India, China) was expecting little currency volatility as compared to the USD used as international currency. If indeed Chinese tourism is affected directly by the value of the baht, then Thailand being associated with BRIC would seem a mistake. I expect China will disagree with the idea that baht volatility is the cause for lower Chinese tourism in Thailand.
  11. The legal authority is Thailand police, not Thai VietJet. According to Thailand's law on offences committed against air navigation, anyone who knowingly communicates false information causing panic on an aircraft in flight is liable to imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of US$6,150 on conviction. "Without malicious intent" does not negate that a crime was committed nor does it mitigate possible passenger panic (whether outward or inward). Only that the penalty under the law can be mitigated. As such I'd think the Thai police on its own initiative can and must charge the subject Polish woman. An out of court plea bargain stemming from the woman's admission to the crime can conclude for example a fine, deportation, etc. What appears to me is that potentially Thai VietJet by giving the subject woman a "pass" was looking out for its own financial position. Ask yourself this: Will Thailand police accepting Thai VietJet's absolution of a possible Thailand federal crime deter future similar crimes?
  12. She was Thailand's last democratically elected PM by the public electorate (vis a vis House Representatives). Since then PM's have been conjured by non-electorate democratic means. If there was 100% open and free public elections in 2023/2024 Pita would would be PM. How is that done without bias and with real people? Obviously, the poll shouldn't include foreigners, minors, unregistered voters, Bots, etc. I would expect LINE would have to allow Personal Data to be shared with the poll analysts (whom?) to assure error-free and bias-free results. As such, might be a crime under the Personal Data Act have been committed unless consent by LINE subscribers? No mention. This poll should be investigated.
  13. Trump needs to defer his next debate to his multiple criminal trials, albeit he won't dare to testify under oath.
  14. No, just more effective enforcement of laws and serious penalties to support them.
  15. And the winner is: "Harris campaign raised $361m in August, triple the amount of Trump campaign" Sept. 6, 2024 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/sep/06/trump-harris-election-fundraising The Trump team raised $130m in same month, with $285m cash in hand compared with Harris’s $404m "How the Harris and Trump Campaigns Are Spending Their Money," Sept. 19, 2024 https://time.com/7022499/how-harris-trump-campaign-ads/ The Harris campaign and allies have booked more than $330 million on TV and radio over roughly the next seven weeks. Trump’s team has booked a little less than $200 million.
  16. It's easy when it's the truth.
  17. If Trump loses the election (again) he might face same from his MAGA cult.
  18. Yeh, it lacks Trump's hate mongering.
  19. Beware there is a variety of American accents apart from some Americans are not native born but immigrants or from immigrants that may carry unique accents. There are about 30 major English dialects in the US as well.
  20. Please DOJ assign a Special Counsel to the prosecution. Cannon must then deny prosecution of the case based on her recent ruling on Trump's federal criminal prosecution by a Special Counsel!
  21. But Catholic Vance is okay with Trump. "Trump tweets quote calling him the "second coming of God" to Jews in Israel," August 2019 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ 'Mr. Trump shared the message that he is "the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world," that "the Jewish people in Israel love him like he's the King of Israel" and even that "They love him like he is the second coming of God." Exodus 22:20 reads "Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed."
  22. Would a coup be considered a natural disaster?
  23. "Public good" disappeared with the 2014 coup and remains irrelevant to this day. "Thailand’s ‘culture of dictatorship’ lingers 10 years after military coup," By Nontarat Phaicharoen May 2024 https://www.benarnews.org/english/news/thai/thailand-military-coup-still-lingers-05222024011437.html “The political culture of dictatorship has prevailed, restricting freedoms and establishing military power above civilians,” said Piyapong Pimpaluck, an assistant professor at Chiang Mai University's Social Research Institute. “The origin and authority of the Senate in the 2017 constitution clearly aims to perpetuate power and maintain an aristocratic ideology. Selecting among themselves is intended to diminish and distort the people’s voice,” said Anusorn Tamajai, director of a research center at the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. (my bold emphasis) The only political crisis today is the lack of honor among thieves.
  24. Evidence it's illegal migrants? Reality it's just regular Americans that would by law includes legal immigrants. "Chronic homelessness is at an all-time high. Here’s why it continues to climb," PBS.org - Dec 22, 2023 Key findings from the 2023 point-in-time count cited from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development: About 20 in every 10,000 Americans experienced homelessness during the count. Black people, who comprise 13 percent of the total U.S. population, make up 37 percent of people experiencing homelessness and half of all people experiencing homelessness as members of families with children. Around 28 percent of people experienced homelessness as part of a family with children. That’s an increase from 2022, reversing a downward trend that began in 2012. For the first time, the count broke down age categories for adults. More than 20 percent were 55 or older, and nearly 40 percent were older than 45.
  25. Who in the electorate (aka registered voters) really cares? The last and current PM's were selected by Parliament bypassing the electorate, ie., with national elections. Anyone notice what has now seens to have been been forgotten? Rewriting the Constitution. Frankly, this last decade of governments has indicated how inconsequential the Thai constitution is.
