  1. He'd be smart to make a deal with DeSantis or Christie, an endorsement plus help campaigning in return for a blanket pardon. That might be illegal though?
  2. 116. Potentially implicated. Case turned over to the NACC for their cold storage facility. https://aseannow.com/topic/1288744-100000-pages-of-evidence-in-40-boxes-big-joke-prepares-cases-against-116-corrupt-immigration-men-offices-named/
  3. Yeah, he'll be lucky if he is allowed to remain in Thailand as a free man. I suspect the Powers that Be want to drive him from the country, if only to send a message re: reforms of the Institution.
  4. "Precedent" isn't really as important "who" is being subjugated to the "law of rule" in Thailand, and "why" they are being persecuted. The judicial system is flawed, and relies on zero transparency. It's roots in Sakdina and the Law of the Three Seals continue to corrupt Thai society to this day. Nothing can or will ever be done to address this fatal flaw.
  5. Exclusive: Donald Trump admits on tape he didn’t declassify ‘secret information’ Former President Donald Trump acknowledged on tape in a 2021 meeting that he had retained “secret” military information that he had not declassified, according to a transcript of the audio recording obtained by CNN. “As president, I could have declassified, but now I can’t,” Trump says, according to the transcript. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/09/politics/trump-tape-didnt-declassify-secret-information/index.html
  6. Photos from Trump indictment show boxes of classified documents stored in Mar-a-Lago shower, ballroom https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/photos-from-trump-indictment-show-boxes-of-classified-documents-stored-in-mar-a-lago-shower-ballroom
  7. 813 tablets. Wow. Meanwhile in Saraburi this week... The four Thai men and one woman from Laos, all with links with a major drug trafficking network have been arrested in Saraburi, officers also seized around 8 million methamphetamine pills worth about 50 million baht. https://aseannow.com/topic/1297129-national-news-from-surf-1025-fm-wednesday-7-june-2023/ Street value down to 6 baht per tab.
  8. Yes, and don't forget, with a military government, that the trains run on time too.
  9. Since any protests would lead to "instability", which would require the military to stage another coup (attention, find that old NCPO stationary for issuing Attitude Adjustments), which will lead to forced stability, I would think that would lead to improved economic conditions. It's kind of SOP for Thailand right?
  10. Interesting twist. But it will be impossible to prove intent, unless he left some sort of paper trail. "Behavioral" details? Hmm. They will not allow him to head a new government.
  11. Indictment. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23839627-read-trump-indictment-related-to-mishandling-of-classified-documents Trump in his own words on the sanctity of Classified documents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThCMjd7irLM
  12. I watched the video. Biden IMMEDIATELY (less than a second) recognized his mistake and made light of it. Not seeing a senior-moment here. Yes, he tripped over a sandbag. No he didn't need help waddling down a ramp. I realize the right wingnut jobs need a hope/prayer and if this sort of mistake gives them jollies I say feast away.
  13. Chuwit has chimed in on this matter. https://www.matichon.co.th/news-monitor/news_4020069
  14. Nixon was about to be indicted ~ June 5-ish 1974, and dodged that bullet by resigning. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/investigations/watergate/roadmap/docid-70106088.pdf And of course Nixon's VP Spiro Agnew was Indicted for tax evasion.
  15. The next government should establish an independent civilian body to oversee investigations of corruption within the RTP. Having the RTP investigate themselves seems like a failure. And then burn the house. And do not hire Suthep to build a new police station.
  16. Other articles mention that she got a double-bump to the rank of Captain, in less than two years. And that there is some "suspicion" regarding her meteoric rise. I'm sure she didn't have to "buy" an "Elephant Ticket".
  17. I think you'll be able to report on your "new" date. Just don't use autofill (or if you do then adjust the arrival date accordingly), and make sure your enter the "new" Arrival Thailand Date* I think you'll get the reminder email, that's been corrected BTW, -14 on your "old" date so just ignore that.
  18. Caretaker Deputy Prime Minister, and self-appointed "legal expert", Wissanu Krea-ngam is squawking about this share saga leading to a voiding of the entire election, and the need for a new election. So there's that.
  19. Take two Paracetamol and call me in the morning. Not on the list.
  20. I think there was an organized effort to recruit, hire, transport, house, abuse Thai workers, which obviously had Finnish "contractors" who hired legal trafficking specialists. Without that concerted effort individual Thais aren't going to be obtaining Finnish/EU visas, and heading to Suomi for the summer season.
  21. Can they though? Who would set the price? This might actually be worse than retaining the zero value shares? Again, this appears to be a non-issue, and I doubt that either the EC or CC will take this case. But stranger things have happened, and the Powers that Be will do anything to prevent Pita from heading up the next government. I think they'll find other issues, more legally justifiable, to void MVF's election mandate.
  22. Well people are allowed to discuss illegal products (dabs, oils, extracts, edibles, etc.) of cannabis here so who knows what might happen if/when Cannabis Flower's "legal" status is changed. Cannabis is approved for a very limited set of diagnoses currently: 1. Nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting) 2. Epilepsy that is difficult to treat and intractable epilepsy 3. Spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis 4. Neuropathic pain 5. Anorexia in underweight patients with AIDS 6. Improving quality of life in patients receiving palliative care or end-of-life patients
  23. Are these shares traded? Can he actually sell them? From the linked article... The PM’s Secretariat Office had terminated iTV’s concession contract on May 7, 2007 and its frequency was taken over by the Thai Public Broadcasting Service (Thai PBS) in 2008. After iTV’s frequency was blocked, its share value dropped to practically zero. The intent of the law(s) mentioned is to insure that a candidate does not use their influence with a media outlet to enhance their election chances. Given that iTV is defunct this would seem to be a non-issue, but it is Thailand so... I'm shocked that the EC has "accepted" a complaint. And I'll be shocked if it is referred to the Constitutional Court, and I'll be shocked if the Constitutional Court accepts the case. Surely the Powers that Be can find some reasonable charges against Pita?
  24. The "2001 Playbook", but with a different ending. Election January 2001 Charges brought against PM Thaksin Shinawatra (concealing wealth) April 2001 Acquitted by Constitutional Court vote 8-7 August 2001 Spoiler alert...Thaksin overthrown by illegal coup in 2006. Thaksin had a much, much, much stronger electoral mandate than Pita/MVF. There is no way the Powers that Be will allow Pita/MVF to lead the new government. The caretaker government will remain until a favorable election outcome can be arranged.
