Activist Urges Quick Legal Action Against Move Forward MPs

Disgusting. -
trump folds and agrees to Kamala Harris debate demands,
newnative replied to sirineou's topic in Political Soapbox
Much as it pains me to type this--and it does pain me--you are semi-correct. Incorrect regarding Trump winning the 'debate'. Likely correct that Trump will win the talent portion of the Sept. 10th beauty pagent. His 'talent', of course, is the endless litany of outright lies, half-truths, distortions, exaggertions, and insults that he will be entertaining the audience with. Note, not the debate judges, but the Great Unwashed viewing at home. Not for Trump actually answering a debate question. What does that get him except likely a loss with both his 'debate' answer and a loss by the bored viewers at home switching to something else to watch. Best example? His non-answer, not once but twice, to the child care question in the first 'debate' with Biden. Is the plight of child care entertaining? Not in the least. So, no answer twice and instead, an entertaining part of his stump speech inserted to keep the viewers entertained. Oh, to hark back to the days of actual debates, before Trump came on the scene. When the candidates soberly answered the questions put to them in a mostly intelligent and reasoned discussion of the issues. Trump has destroyed all that. And, shame on the 'debate' moderators for allowing him to run amok unchecked. It's interesting that there was one article I saw after the last 'debate' that gave Trump a grade of 'F'. That, however, was marking his debate performance, and it was largely lost in the tidal wave of articles having him winning the evening otherwise. I don't envy Harris. How do you debate someone who is not debating but, intstead, entertaining the viewing audience with his greatest hits from his campaign stump? If she actually answers the debate questions but Trump does his same debate 1 performance, will she get a winning debate grade but, once again, Trump wins on entertainment value with the public? In the article I mentioned above, Biden was given a debate mark of either D or D-, I forget. So, technically, he actually won the debate over Trump's even worse debate mark, a dismal 'F'. But, a lot of good that did him in the world of 2024 Trump 'debating' vs., say, a debate from the Obama-Romney era. Likely the same fate awaits Harris if she sticks to actually debating. I suggested in a post on another thread that she fight fire with fire. She needs to ditch boring debate statistics and agressively counter whatever Trump spouts, even if it does not remotely relate to the debate question asked. In this upcoming September 10th 'debate'/beauty pagent, if she's named Miss Congeniality, she's lost. -
Ex-Move Forward MPs to appoint executive committee of a new party
newnative replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Good. They need to get all the current MFP members to join the new party. That will get them off to a great start. -

Thailand to finalise revised EEC high-speed rail contract by next month

Tim is a definite plus and a great fit for Harris. While Harris is a somewhat exotic candidate--a woman of color--Tim nicely tempers that by being a steady, regular guy with plenty of experience. They can easily see him as someone who can take over as president, if need be. In short, he moves the needle in a very positive way. I think he will pull in lots of undecided voters to vote Democrat, reassure and energize Democrats, and likely pull in Republicans who can't stomach Trump, or Vance. Picking Vance was a huge mistake (thank you!) for Trump. He already has the wacko and weird vote locked up. Choosing a wacko and weird VP to solidify a voting group that really didn't need any help was not the way to go. Even your best case, Vance being 'neutral' and not a negative, brings absolutely nothing to the table. Why would you choose someone 'neutral' who doesn't even move the needle? How does having a ticket of Weird and Weirder get you across the finish line? Trump needed far more than 'neutral' to make the undecided voters and sane Republicans take a second look. In two presidential elections, he has lost the popular vote badly--2.8 million and, even worse, 7 million--going backwards with the voters. How does he do any better this time around as a convicted felon and rapist, with other serious charges hanging over his head? And, at age 78, lots of voters see Trump as a doddering, delusional, dead man walking and will be looking at who steps in should Trump depart for Danteland. Vance as that person scares far too many. Trump made a terrible, terrible choice. Yaa!!!

Yes, good move. Start the new political party immediately, with those MFP elected members not banned joining it, instead of one of the othr parties. -

Terrible, terrible decision. Banning Thailand's best and brightest from participating in government is the absolute worst part of the ruling. So sad for Thailand. -
Dated products can't compete with fresher, better, less expensive models from China--with more on the way. Tesla was first out the gate but has faltered. No new factory means they have enough build capacity now for the sales they have.

Kuwaiti Man Causes Severe Accident in Pattaya (short)
newnative replied to Video News's topic in Video News and Updates
Don't wait for him to 'recover'. Pack him on to the next plane out and ban him for life. -
Whatever happens with the ruling, they can't dissolve a movement. A political party? Yes. But not the movement driving the popularity of the party. They can play Whack-A-Mole all they want but will keep failing. The movement will continue, just in a different name for the next iteration of the party moving Thailand forward.

What about this Samsung Washing Machine? Should one buy it?
newnative replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in General Topics
My spouse and I do at least 1 load of clothes a day. I would recommend both a clothes washer and a dryer. We've used most all the brands and haven't had a problem with any of them, including Samsung. -
Pattaya rebranding as family-friendly destination to boost tourism
newnative replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Saw the headline and thought, uhh-oh, I need to run off dozens and dozens of new applications for the 'Just Can't Quit Pattaya Fan Club'. Judging from the 5 pages of responses so far, it looks like there are tragically high numbers of those who wish, wish, wish they were here. I shall get those applications out to you toot sweet. Just try to hang on till then; surely there is something for you to do where you washed up. Think, there must be! Is it too soon to sort your socks again?
