AN Original Republican calls to impeach Biden increased.
bamnutsak replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Indictment Standings - Mid-Season Current leading Republican Presidential Candidate - 2 Trump leads in this category coming out of the All-Star break. And he's on a streak, with at least one more indictment expected this week. And many expect this streak to continue with multiple "fake-electors" indictments due in other "leagues". Several managers in other leagues (Russia, RSA, Qatar) have expressed interest in a trade for trump before the trade deadline. Meanwhile, reliable three-tool utility player Joe Biden continues to propel the ENTIRE team (country) forward to another winning season. Sadly he remains indictment-free this season. -
Bhumjaithai Party will not join any coalition with Move Forward
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I think he would welcome the FM/MoFA posting. This would round out and burnish his CV. I can see Newin also demanding that son Saksayam keep the MoT portfolio, and clear up any kerfuffle there regarding misappropriation of funds. -
Pheu Thai will try to get its candidate selected as PM next Thursday
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
While there is pressure to get this done before the holiday on 28 July, and a potential 5-day weekend (Asanha Bucha Day, Tuesday 1 Aug), I can't see PTP being successful unless they agree to many, many terms with the Senate. And if they choose to acquiesce to the Senate they will doom themselves as a political party. No win situation. Maybe they can scramble after a No vote, and put something together in order to save face at the last minute? -
House Speaker Clarifies His Role in PM Vote Session
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
He's incompetent, and should resign. He was the wrong choice. Back in 1996 maybe he was OK as Speaker. Now? Seems he's three steps behind. -
Pheu Thai to Seek More Support for Next PM Vote
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They are going to have to promise, in public, that they will not now, or ever pursue any reforms to the Monarchy they will not now or ever change the Constitution they will not now or ever restrict the Military, or do away with Conscription they will not now or ever restrict monopolies they will support the concept of an unelected Senate, and allow the current Senate to select their replacements they will agree to table the return of Thaksin for another five years -
Passport stuck at embassy as checkin nears
bamnutsak replied to Hal65's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You could have included that in the OP. Maybe there are more facts you've omitted, but based on what you've presented so far, you chose an odd time obtain a Passport Card. -
I'm sorry but RFK Jr. has been severely damaged his entire life. I can't imagine what it must have been like to lose a father, and an uncle to violence in such a public manner, but he's squandered many, many, many advantages. Clearly his admittance to Harvard, and UVa LAW (Uncle Ted went there too) was based on merit. choke. He's embarrassing himself daily with his odd claims, and doing untold damage to our relationship with science and facts. I don't get why people believe a word he says? To me he's just another drunk at the bar, with all the believability of a used-car salesman. Oh, crap, he's a lot like trump. This performance in Congress was shocking. But I did love all the republicans fawning all over him. But his biggest fail is one exhibited by the entire right wing cult: confusing CRITICISM with censorship. This is a symptom of Conservative Aggrievement Syndrome. BTW this syndrome is fully on display in this forum. Only the government is prevented from limiting free speech. Facebook, you, me are NOT the government, yet.

Florida judge clarified injunction blocking state law that targets drag shows A federal judge said Wednesday that his order blocking a Florida law targeting drag shows doesn't just apply to the restaurant that brought the lawsuit challenging it but to other venues in the state, reiterating that the legislation championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis is likely unconstitutional. https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/florida-judge-clarified-injunction-blocking-state-law-that-targets-drag-shows/

Newbie spouting conspiracy theories. Back that nonsense up, or ask the mods to delete it. My guess is that you failed to do "a fair bit of research", because your mini-rant makes you look ill-informed.

AN Original Republican calls to impeach Biden increased.
bamnutsak replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Go for it. What's holding republicans back? Maybe they can find this chap, who did a runner in 2019 after allegedly embezzling millions. Last seen in Monaco. According to Ukrainian authorities Zlochevsky is suspected of "theft of government funds on an especially large scale".[35] Authorities said the criminal investigation on suspicion of embezzlement is currently on hold because Zlochevsky's whereabouts cannot presently be determined.[36] As of 2019, Zlochevsky is reported to live in Monaco.[37] According to an investigation by Al Jazeera he bought Cypriot citizenship somewhere between 2017 and 2019.[38] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mykola_Zlochevsky And maybe give Dr. Luft immunity so he can testify?

It's a long way to next Thursday, with plenty of time for horse-trading. Really there is only one person that needs to be satisfied, and it is not Thaksin. Srettha + MFP looks like a non-starter for the Old Guard. MFP will not be allowed anywhere near a cabinet post. MFP will eventually be eliminated/banned.

Legal experts challenge parliament’s rejection of Pita’s renomination
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thai "law" is very flexible, and can be applied as needed. The police, ministry of "justice", prosecutors and the courts all have an inherent bias. There is little transparency, and one cannot criticize the "courts". That said Speaker Wan Noor should resign. He's clearly not up to the job. He can stay on as an advisor to the new Speaker. -
"refused to bring charges" on Hunter Biden for tax evasion
bamnutsak replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Still unclear on the agenda here? Is it that Hunter Biden should have been charged with more crimes? Misdemeanors? And/or that he owes additional payments in tax and penalties? Or do Grassley and Comer want to weaponize the IRS? -
Like Dr. Luft, not the most reliable of witnesses, assuming he can be found. from your Wiki link According to Ukrainian authorities Zlochevsky is suspected of "theft of government funds on an especially large scale".[35] Authorities said the criminal investigation on suspicion of embezzlement is currently on hold because Zlochevsky's whereabouts cannot presently be determined.[36] As of 2019, Zlochevsky is reported to live in Monaco.[37] According to an investigation by Al Jazeera he bought Cypriot citizenship somewhere between 2017 and 2019.[38]

Document Sen. Grassley released. https://t.co/jmtT3WpeJF This document mentions that Zlochevsky (Burisma executive and not the "informant" whose identity remains unknown) has 17 recordings, two of which involve Joe Biden. I would think that Grassley/Comer would be releasing these recordings soon. I think the republicans are contending that Brusima paid the Bidens to get Prosecutor Shokin fired? But I may not fully understand their thinking? My sense is that if they had real evidence they would present it, and that all they really want to do is impugn the integrity of the President to affect the 2024 election.

He thinks he's relevant, and that his words influence people. He isn't, and they don't. No one is listening to this retired General. He should just move on to the Privy Council.

That was not a requirement. A party could put up to 5 names for PM pre-election, but that was not a requirement. You could put none up but still nominate someone. As I understand it.

Quick Analysis: With Pita Gone, What Happens Next?
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Two different one shot scenarios. Mine referred to the next vote being 27 July, and the holiday on 28 July. Timing constraint. The more than one vote/one resolution is different. Constitutional constraint. -
I think any solution acceptable to the Jurassic Parkers (Senate) can NOT include MFP. That is to say, no one from MFP can be allowed to be in the resulting cabinet. Full stop.
