Former US President Donald Trump leaves court after NOT GUILTY plea
bamnutsak replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Interesting that no family members accompanied the former president to his arraignment. No Melania, no Don Jr., no Ivanka, no Tiffany. That seems sad. Just like his New York arraignment, Trump did not have any friends or family there with him, just his lawyers and his personal aide and co-defendant Walt Nauta. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/trump-indictment-live-updates-arraignment-rcna88868 I wonder if the judge advised the defendants not to speak publicly about the proceedings? The former president left for a fundraiser at his Bedminster club after the proceedings. Mr. Nauta will probably be busy "valeting" boxes and such at that facility. -
Here's how Trump's historic day in court will unfold
bamnutsak replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Do tell. A referendum to secede is not a thing, and it never was. Do you understand what a referendum is? Are you American? I think you're being overly hysterical with your prognostications. -
Interesting that the former president does not establish any reasoning or defense for stealing, hiding, sharing and lying about classified documents. Instead he rants about "the rigged system". “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell” attributed to Carl Sandburg This ranting is of course why he will not be allowed to testify. And without his testimony the facts may be too overwhelming for a jury to ignore.

Thai police chief revamps recruitment after promotion scandal
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
To pay for the promotion one has to, in most cases, borrow money to pay the full fare BEFORE getting the promotion. Note that there have been "incidents" where the payment has been made and then the promotion was not delivered. The end result often involves gunfire. And the payment is borrowed from the informal police promotion lending society, and not SCB, which involves senior police and their close mafia associates. The "loan" is repaid over the years, resulting in a tidy income/safe investment, but requires the applicant to source additional income aggressively. Loan payment due? Shakedown duty. Or the various nefarious activities the RTP has been implicated in recently: dodgy visas, kidnapping, purloining bank accounts, repo super cars, plastic bag drug suspects. The problem isn't so much the pay for promotion but rather the results of that initial corruption. It leads to increased corrupt and illegal behavior. And more importantly, a lack of faith and respect by the public in the police and the legal system. -
A Thai Police Forensic "Detective" simply needs to be able to write "Accidental Death", or whatever Big Joke tells them to write. Or scientifically examine and approve the RTA's Bomb Detectors. What is the average age of those in the RTP who make Lieutenant? "True Grit"? Yes, she doesn't appear to have lived a charmed life.

Here's how Trump's historic day in court will unfold

Seems like the current reading for Federal crimes is that mug shots cannot be released. Detroit Free Press Inc. v. U.S. Dep't of Justice https://casetext.com/case/detroit-free-press-inc-v-us-dept-of-justice-2 https://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2016/07/mugshots-federal-criminal-suspects-225546 The 6th Circuit decision does not mean that federal mugshots will never see the light of day. It leaves open the possibility that they could be released in response to FOIA requests on a case-by-case basis, perhaps when there are credible allegations of police abuse or in cases of unusual public interest. In addition, federal authorities sometimes choose to release mugshots outside the FOIA process, like when officials are seeking a suspect. Varies for state crimes by state, unsurprisingly. Florida Mug shots are subject to public inspection unless they are exempt criminal intelligence information or are otherwise exempt. Fla. Stat. § 119.071(2)(c)(1) (2020). -
Kevin McCarthy contends that the boxes in the bathroom are secure because bathroom doors can be locked. And presumably the boxes lock the door on their own after the foreign agents leave after "relieving" themselves? Honestly can anyone be this stoopid? Kevin can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr64c9xFyTs

Thai police chief revamps recruitment after promotion scandal
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Uhm, no? ???? POLICE ‘HAVE NO DUTY’ TO EXPLAIN ‘ELEPHANT TICKET’ SCANDAL “What’s the fuss about it?” Wirut said. “It’s already existed for decades already, but it was only presented with evidence [by Rangsiman]. Fortune favors the bold, if you don’t pay for your position or approach your boss, you wouldn’t get it.” Wirut, who served as a police colonel, said the current police appointment regulation is vaguely written and can be easily exploited. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/politics/2021/02/22/police-have-no-duty-to-explain-elephant-ticket-scandal/ -
He hasn't even been arraigned yet. On what grounds? Witch-huntery factor too high? He's above the law? Former Presidents get special treatment? It was a Grand Jury, made up of PEOPLE, who voted for an indictment of many charges based on probably cause. That's how our system works. If you want to break it, go ahead and try. It didn't work on Jan. 6, it won't work now. Reader feedback: We can only take so many Fox News re-tweets. Anyone interested in that bile is already reading it on their Twitter feed.

Civil War? Over trump? Seriously. The red states leech off the federal government, and without that teat to suckle at they'd be another Mexico or Columbia. -

Revamp: 1.) How much can she pay for her Elephant Ticket? 10 million baht guarantees a promotion. 2.) How attractive is she/he? Winning two or more beauty pageants is the minimum. 3.) What is lineage? DYKWIA factor must be 0.95. na Ayuthaya = you're in. -

Want to see his real height, without his shoe lifts, in the mug shot. And how the burnt umber make-up looks. Some of the Watergate conspirators mug shots are classics. AG John Mitchell for example. -
Suvarnabhumi Airport’s SAT-1 terminal set for soft takeoff in September
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It looks like passenger arrivals will have to go down three levels (from 2, to 1, to B1 to B2) to board the APM to the main passenger terminal, then go up three levels to clear arriving immigration, claim bags and clear Customs. Is that correct? How will baggage be transported from/to Sat-1? I'm not sure the third runway will alleviate or accommodate many additional flights. I think it will only be used for landings, no takeoffs, and it's too close to 01L/19R for simultaneous Ops. And another second midfield terminal, basically a copy and paste of this new Sat-1 terminal is planned, directly south. https://en.bkk-runway3.com/ -
"Advocating violence" is against the law. Section 114. Preparation to Overthrow Government Whoever, collecting the forces or arms, or otherwise making the preparations or conspires to commit the insurrection, or committing any offence as the part of the plot committing the insurrection, or instigating the private persons to commit the insurrection, or Knowing that there are the persons to commit the insurrection and making any act to assist in keeping such secret intention to commit such insurrection, shall be punished by imprisonment as from three to fifteen years. And making the three-finger salute is also against the law. Section 118. Use of National Symbol to Deride Nation Whoever, making any act to the flag or any other emblem to be symbolized the State with the intention to deride the Nation, shall be imprisoned not out of two years or fined not out of four thousand Baht, or both. Pretty much any activity can be portrayed as being "against the law".
