  1. Gutsy. Can't wait for the court to rule such investigation as unconstitutional.
  2. As the public did in response to PM Prayut numerous "gifts" to the public during his tenure. A decade of declining economy under Prayut was more destructive than gifts could recover.
  3. Yet no indication that they did, like repeated ringing the stop bell.
  4. No doubt some politician will scream this celebration is unconstitutional.
  5. Please confirm with legitimate non-bias political links or references.
  6. A poisonous staffer. "Why Dan McLaughlin is Wrong About Trump’s Prosecutions," Posted by Martin Longman | Dec 20, 2023 https://progresspond.com/2023/12/20/why-dan-mclaughlin-is-wrong-about-trumps-prosecutions/ Example: "Dan McLaughlin argues in the National Review that any attempt to convict Donald Trump of a crime prior to Election Day 2024 is political in nature and therefore illegitimate."
  7. Just put the convicted felon in jail where he belongs.
  8. Never found to be guilty of sexual abuse/rape.
  9. "The messages on the billboard, in Chinese, also mentioned that the service was for those seeking a second nationality." Is it illegal to apply for Thai residency that provides for a Thai passport? Highly unlikely a Chinese visitor can obtain Thai nationality but the advertiser will benefit financially. If no guarantee of Thai passport, let buyer beware but illegal? Maybe as false advertising, but not so simple as illegal. Note that the advertiser is not Chinese but a Singaporean firm, perhaps furthering a deception.
  10. For cannabis policies that deny cannabis historical place and acceptance in Thailand, why not do a public referendum on the issue? No controlled surveys. No political smears. Let the People decide.
  11. Looking at the metrics used in the ranking, missing is the population equalizer "per capita" - whether it be related to total general population or tourists (aka visitors). Bangkok has a population of 11,234,000 vs 22.8 million visitors (2023) compared to Pattya 115,840 population vs planned 27 million visitors for 2024. While Singapore ranked #1 with 0 risk score, if compared to other Southeast Asian cities, Bangkok ranked #2 as safest for tourists. Bangkok also ranked #1 of the world's most visited cities in 2023 vs Singpore ranked #5. So subject ranking appears dubious at best and irrational at worst.
  12. So it's not what you know but who you know. That's aside from the 50 Senate "untouchables."
  13. World Bank cuts Thai growth to 2.5% for 2024. Bank of Thailand holds interest rates at 2.5% for 2024. NESDC forecasts 2.5% growth for 2024. PM expects 3% for 2024. Guess who has no idea?
  14. So Trump is more Supreme than Christ after his alleged resurrection? Christ retained nail and spear wounds after his crucifixion.
  15. "left absolutely no mark" False. Blood is seen. Even an ear flap can bleed. According to Rep. Runny Jackdon (R-Texas) bullet caused a 2cm wide wound and significant bleeding. But "given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required." Jul. 20, 2024 Stat news Trump will have a mark. He will probably demand a Purple Heart for his wound.
  16. Misleading - Essentially half true, half false. Private citizen Harris not yet chosen as Biden's running mate did post a tweet encouraging donations to the tax exempt Minnesota Freedom Fund. Harris did not personally benefit from donations. MFF's mission was to provide cash bail assistance to those people incarcerated in Minnesota being held in pretrial detention. Upon release the defendant returns funs to MMF. Harris concern was that while 7% of Minnesota were Black people, they made up 31% incarcerated. This was after the killing of George Floyd that triggered massive and violent protests. As it was only 8% of those arrested in connection with the Floyd protest that had to post bail. So MMF had a windfall in untaxable donations. ref. Sept. 3, 2020 Washington Post
  17. When tourists are Karens. Justice bites.
  18. So the case will go to a jury trial. And you know how well Trump does in a jury trial. Especially when it comes to the defendant requiring a live deposition and evidentiary requests. I expect Trump will ask for a bench judge trial.
  19. Which in a constitutional monarchy (vs absolute monarchy) legislative power is within the authority of the electorate represented by their elected legislators to do so. To be denied legislative authority of the electorate in effect deprives the people of their sovereignty as specifically defined in the constitution. See "Authoritarian Constitution-Making in Thailand, 2015-16: Elite (aphichon) Capture Turns a "Dual Polity " into a " System of Elite Rule with Elections," or a "Thai-style Authoritarianism," September 2016 by Michael H. Nelson https://www.researchgate.net/publication/
  20. "Police said a surveillance camera clip shows that the tourist did fall backwards with his head hitting the road while apparently trying to get off the vehicle." Driver not at fault. The event was an Accident.
  21. Even Srettha sucking up to the military to become PM has backfired. A case against Srettha was launched by 40 military-appointed senators in May seeking the dismissal of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. He is sooo popular that no one wants him in politics.
  22. No coffee, no tea, no alcohol and I'm doing well. But a sweet tooth for occassional Starbuck's hot chocolate with whip cream.
  23. PM has actually bet against the dollar, preferring BRIC currencies. What could go wrong? Well aside from the collapsing Russian and Chinese economies. But at least Thailand will become part of the Hub of Losers.
  24. It did with Resolution ES-11/1 - 143 in favor, 5 against and 35 abstaining. Thailand abstained.
  25. Not sure I understand the "signifying" part in terms of the year 2024. In 1932 the military overthrew an absolute monarchy and (according to one academic author) established a constitutional monarchy. In a constitutional monarchy the electorate (ie., Thai citizens) holds sovereignty of the nation and thus the prerogative (a right or privilege exclusive to a particular individual or class) to supposedly alleviate their citizen's hardships. Hopefully Chanakarn understands the political CHANGE of governance brought about in 1932 as it affects the Thai Peoples.
