  1. What job? It is the constitutional duty of the Election Commission to pre-approve candidates declaring run for office BEFORE the election and the EC took no issue with Pita's candidacy for MP. Then Pita's MFP wins a surprise (only to the Prayut caretaker government?) landslide election that triggered various allegations of candidacy irregularities against Pita, reconsideration by the EC and referral to the Constitutional Court.
  2. All very nice thoughts but you 'put the carriage before the horse.' 100% Senators are not elected (prior to the Prayut coup it was 50% elected) but chosen by a selection committee, established by the Prayut junta under junta-written constitution that was also reserved a number of Senate seats for the military. Current junta constitution was approved by a public referendum. Regardless, a referendum itself cannot change the constitution. It comes down to who has the authority to create the election committee. Previously it was the junta NCPO that controlled the House and government. So would it be now the current caretaker government in conjunction with the current House requiring a simple majority? I've not seen any legal analysis how to overcome these constitutional barriers and wonder if PTP cares so long as it can co-op with the military/royalist.
  3. Gen. Prayut did it in a day in 2014. POTUS Trump tried zero days for a second term.
  4. SC is appointed by DOJ, not the POTUS. It was Deputy DOJ AG Barr who appointed Robert Mueller as SC in 2017, not POTUS Trump. DOJ Barr appointed John Durham as SC to investigate origins of FBI's look into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. The authority of the DOJ did not change with POTUS Biden.
  5. Impeachment only requires 2/3's vote of House & Senate ( aka Congress) to impeachment, regardless of any evidence.
  6. What Western luxury watch is made in China? I believe none, albeit some parts might be Chinese manufactured such as a casing or minor moving parts. For example Swiss Luxory watches must have final assembly in Switzerland with 60% Swiss made parts. So why would one (ie., Thai customs) use a Hong Kong representative for verification of authenticity?
  7. Is there such a thing as a Russian veteran from the Russian-Ukraine war apart from being severely wounded (excludes lost of limbs!) or dead?
  8. A majority supported Putin's 2014 invasion of Ukraine's Crimea and support actually increased when Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022 with over 80% in July 2023. 2017 Gallup International poll, favorable views of Putin by country: Thailand @ 43%.
  9. I thought police were trained using nonviolence methods to detain violent suspects: Cops reveal stick method to subdue suspects TUESDAY, JULY 18, 2017 SHARE
  10. Complete diversion and fake competitiveness for a most serious failure: Thailand's exports have declined for nine consecutive months. Would Bank - Higher productivity is key to Thailand's future economic growth and prosperity (2020). But in 2023 weak demand from China, US and Europe has stalled Thailand’s exports.
  11. Great. Can they start with China's grab of the entire South China Sea as part of China's sovereignty?
  12. Ironic, fossils being carbon neutral.
  13. The current government tried Thaksin in absentia under a new law devised by the former junta leadership but now seems to make every effort to keep him from returning. That's FEAR.
  14. MFP doesn't owe any other party "good faith" when itself is denied the same. Where is the good faith for the Thai People?
  15. Or was it the Committee on Injustice and Inhuman Rights Affairs?
  16. No mention for songtaews or public buses where there is more likelihood for mass injuries in a crash?
  17. Revenue sharing is unpredictable unless there's "price fixing." How is that competitive?
  18. Convicted in absentia. Provision in the new Organic Act on Criminal Procedure for Holders of Political Positions of 2017 passed by a pro-junta Parliament that allows trials in absentia. Sounds more like a Jester court than a kangaroo court.
  19. I've heard of booster shots but now I know what a booster gratuity looks like.
  20. Is this why among other reasons the RTP has yet to implement the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Dissapearance Act of 2022? RTP says it lacks the money, training, equipment and guidelines to implement the law. You know, like it seems with all the other laws RTP is supposed to enforce. Just as an aside, the RTP is under the supervision ofthe National Police Commission chaired by PM Prayut.
  21. It might also pay attention to the caretaker government's delay through the RTP NOT to comply with the Anti-torture and Enforced Disappearance Act of 1922, law announced in the Royal Gazette on October 24, 2022. So I guess for now the "old rules" still prevail with RTP in dealing with public disturbances - rules an anti- democracy leadership might find effective to suppress freedom of speech.
  22. In a democracy you vote people out of power, not at gunpoint.
  23. There are 35 spaceports and launch facilities worldwide that can launch spacecraft or satellites into orbit or suborbit. In Asia there is Japan, South Korea, India, French Guianna. Thailand would be smarter to partner with these countries, but Prayut is all about his egotistical Thai Hub of ASEAN. What Thailand really needs is more dependable electrical power generation such as nuclear power and reduce its import of carbon-based fuels.
  24. I suggest dissolution instead of resolution.
  25. It should be seen as a constitutional requirement, regardless of pay. The Constitution doesn't make Parliament voting optional. I would apply the same to abstaining on a vote as well. Breach the Constitution, the Constitutional Court should suspend the Parliament member without privileges of office.
