Hard evidence? Is the lack thereof reflected by "alleged?" Showing the agent's post on social media should be the minimum proof.

It's not new but decades old that the RTM has been fractured, ie., the King's Guard vs the Queen's Guard. The 2014 coup entrenched one faction in military power, ie., to conduct coups as necessary. From "Military Factions and Coups: Pathways to Power in Thailand," by Anders C. Johansson and Anders Engvall from Stockholm School of Economics: https://swopec.hhs.se/hascer/papers/hascer2022-054.1.pdf "Factional strength as measured by control of top military positions is positively associated with the likelihood of a military coup.... factional strength when measured by senior-level positions is also positively related to the likelihood of a military coup....it is shown that the relationship between military factional strength and coups is unidirectional. A popular view of the reoccurring military coups taking place in Thailand is that they are not primarily driven by economic or security reasons. they are instead ad hoc events that come about because of the complex interplay between various groups within the Thai elite.... groups are composed of royals, politicians and bureaucrats, business leaders, and commanding officers from the military."

Given his past experience with Xi, it's a question of how much of a bribe he'd require from Xi.

In addion to the Senate, EC needs to be 100% elected by the electorate, ie., through their elected ministers in the House. And the House needs subpoena power to not only hold the EC accountable but all the quasi-state organization such as the Anti-Corrption Commission.

NATFA was replaced by USMCA on 2020 by POTUS Trump. It didn't change Mexican and Canadian truckers from crossing the US border under NAFTA. Since the carrier nationality wasn't changed to solely US, it kept a status quo for US Union truckers.

A similar shocking revelation (back from the past): "Matt Gaetz named in damning court affidavit" https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1051686383318911 Drug fueled sex party including a 17-year old girl. Why is sex trafficking of minors not getting any prosecution charges?

Aljegera is an opinion piece without any factual backing. On the other hand: "Veterans Endorse Kamala Harris for the 2024 Presidential Election," Written By Common Defense, July 22, 2024 ref. Jacob Thomas - [email protected] "Common Defense, the nation's largest grassroots veterans organization, is proud to endorse Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 Presidential election." "Ten former top US military officials back Harris, call Trump 'a danger'," By Reuters September 9, 2024 "Group of retired generals, admirals announce support for Harris," - "As Donald Trump vows to purge the military of leaders he doesn't like, Kamala Harris is picking up endorsements from retired generals and admirals." MSNBC.com, Sept. 10, 2024 By Steve Benen.

It's a missed opportunity for the union to endorse Harris but not a blow if it also remains neutral with Trump. Regardless, its members have a right to vote for themselves in November and Harris can appeal directly to them.

The only value of its stock is that Trump posts on it. The stock has run in the red every quarter. But Trump isn't obligated to post on Truth Social and in fact posts on X (Twitter). It's just another scam. And another instance of illegal activity through violation of SEC rules as a primary shareholder to publically boost its value.

As soon as the submersible entered the water it violated its design. Oceanside and support ship captain knew that. A submersible must be permanently tethered to its support ship (aka Mothership) at all times in the water whereas a submarine doesn't need to be tethered. The Titan was never tethered putting it's passengers at immediate risk. And they died from that risk.

"President Biden was so nice." He also included Harris in their calls to Trump regarding the assassination in progress against Trump. Trump's rally audience in reaction booed Trump. I think they felt Trump betrayed MAGA. But Trump verted back to full MAGA cult immediately the following Monday accusing Biden and Harris of inciting violence against him "with their words." And continued eventually with disparaging Biden while calling Harris a Marxist, unintelligent, setting out to destroy the nation. A civil Trump is a myth.

How is Santa Claus not real?

American importers, then passed on to American distributors, then to the retailers, then to the American consumer who pays an even higher price as sales tax (ie., state, county and city each as taxation authorities) is added to the retail price. And as a reminder, POTUS Trump during his term eliminated as a deduction against federal income tax, the sales tax from nonfederal authorities.

ISOC typically uses paid Thai civilians who are not part of Thailand's official armed forces to conduct military patrols in the South (similar to the Russian Wagner paramilitary) while Royal Thai regular army soldiers remain primarily on secure bases. As such and especially as peace talks continue to stall ever since the Prayut military coup in 2014, these piecemeal insurgent attacks against paramilitary have the effect essentially being tolerated by the military as the price to insure the safety of RTM soldiers while holding back any major insurrectionist victory.

90% of Thailand's "South" is Muslim.

2023 Corruption Perceptions - compared to other Asian&Pacific countries: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2023 Thailand ranks 108 compared to lesser corrupt nations: Australia 14, Japan 16, Taiwan 28, S.

Thailand is ranked at about midpoint or what some might call a Hub.

Got me thinking of the beginning of a joke: 'two Iranian men and two Chinese tourists walk into a bar....'

Which raises the question of where police who patrol the beache areas urinate?

Throw a luggage tag on her and claim her as yours. Who says what a bag has to look like?

Anticipated. The next month is on the political horizon for another "PM for the Month" club. And again without the inconvenience of a democratic electorate national vote.

I'd expect parties to the US Double Taxation Treaty will have access to US/foreign income information. Thailand has such treaty with US.

Nice. OP ed is dead on arrival in the first sentence. No link? I'm sure as Russian and Chinese navies seek locations of US naval forces worldwide that their first objective is to determine whether such US naval vessels are toilet gender neutral.

If one follows MAGA logic, if one is a socialist one is also simultaneously a fascist and communist. Just a jumble of political "word salad" to deflect ignorance of the MAGA cult.

Ironically, Trump's horrified reaction to a billionaire young female getting more attention by her endorsement than Trump will cause him to go off the sanity guardrails (again) and cause more new voters for Harris.

Every year a new peak? How about accelerating useful solutions to break the flooding cycle?
