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

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/

From Khaosod English FB: already posted above. Sorry.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PTP 141 BJT 71 Dem 25 PPP 40 UTN 36 313 CPK 2 CTP 10 Srettha vs. Anutin, the Battle of the Builders Upside, Cannabis stays as is. Maybe even gets expanded.

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.

This is why they need a week. They've got one shot to find the perfect birthday present, and it will take that long for all the "horse-trading" to be completed. Given the hard deadline of 28 July failure may not be an option? Prawit may be the last man waddling? Oops did he fall down again?

It will be interesting to see how aggressive the RTA/ISOC and the RTP are in pressing 112/116/Computer Crimes Act charges for those involved in protests. And if Attitude Adjustment camps become a thing again.

I conferred that honor on you. Based on your professed "experience", and your ability to Google and find articles. Exemplary. If I've made a mistake, and I often do, please advise. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Unless you experienced self-doubt or confusion based on my post you should probably retract that statement.

I think his legal problems will actually help him. His base loves that he is being oppressed by the deep state. He can claim victim-hood. He can forestall trials until after the election. If he wins he'll pardon himself, and get HIS DOJ/OLC to write an opinion that the DOJ can never prosecute anyone named trump. If he loses he will claim he won, and is still president. Although that would be a third term? Yes? No? SCOTUS says "No". No downside to any criminal/civil charges. In fact, the more the merrier.

Top 5, but a long shot. Though he would make the ideal birthday present for the man who has everything.

Even more rudimentary, it's already been posted on page 1 of this thread. ???? That said, it hardly represents all encompassing "medical profession" which some "expert" posted about. But yes, I am bowing to your "expertise".

Never been a fan of these food challenges. What's the point?
