Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8Nnt7vpGEA It's hard to tell because he is so incoherent but some reports say that he said "if Biden is re-elected the entire auto industry will be moved from the U.S. to China" which will lead to a bloodbath. But who knows. He's deteriorating daily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mty1g8md5A

Sounds like a mobster, making vague threats, shaking down people for protection money. Nice country ya got there, be a shame if something happened to it.

Justice Department investigating door plug blowout on Alaska Airlines flight, report says
Thanks for posting all those recent incident reports for the A320. The FAA found staff at Boeing's supplier using liquid Dawn soap as lubricant for a 737 Max door seal: NYT The Federal Aviation Administration auditors saw mechanics for a Boeing supplier using liquid Dawn soap as a lubricant for fitting a door seal, The New York Times reported. The regulator then observed mechanics at Spirit AeroSystems, which builds the fuselage of Boeing's 737 Max, cleaning up using a wet cheesecloth, per The Times' Mark Walker. The slides said that Boeing had failed 33 of 89 product audits related to 737 Max production, while Spirit failed seven of 13 audits, per The Times. https://www.businessinsider.com/faa-boeing-spirit-aerosystems-dawn-soap-door-seal-737-max-2024-3

Thai PM Spearheads ‘IGNITE THAILAND’S TOURISM’ Meeting, Aims for Global Tourism Boost
One draw of these secondary destinations is the very fact that they are more challenging to get to, and have not been over-touristed. Pumping in more tourists almost seems self-defeating.

Move Forward Dissolution Bid Part Of Thaksin’s Secret Deal
Who knows what thaksin agreed to in order to facilitate his, and Yingluck's return? The rumor mill suggests that he is beholden to the . Putting down any future suggestions of reforms, and punishing those who supported such suggestions, would seem to be the minimum. 14 million voters be damned.

Crystal Meth Hauls Wash Ashore
Barely a day goes by without mention of a massive bust of methamphetamine pills, the typical haul is 10 million tablets, or tens of kilograms of crystal meth. Obviously most of these drugs are merely being transshipped across Thailand, from Myanmar to ports in the south, destined for Australia, Europe and the Americas. But a lot falls off the truck/boat and is easily the number one public health concern for Thais.

MFP warned of legal implications ahead of general debate
One person's "cautionary note" is another's "threat". In that case, it should be easy for "the government" to defend the actions taken. The pardon from eight years to one year seemed curious. As does the preferred treatment.

Some "duchess-level" work on that photo. This poor sap will be sacked by his boss after Songkran.

J.K. Rowling Insinuates Nazis Did Not Burn Trans Books
We could but they were burned, and I don't think the Nazis recorded the titles/authors. Do let us know if your research turns anything up.

J.K. Rowling Insinuates Nazis Did Not Burn Trans Books
I think most of us are triggered by Nazis, I know I am. Many, like me, want to see them all die a horrible death, a la melting away upon viewing the spirits released from the Lost Ark. (Indy 5 was actually quite enjoyable, Mads Mikkelsen makes a perfect Nazi.) Others probably start to think about a shopping trip to Hugo Boss. Or "how do these jackboots make me look?" I did recently rewatch "Where Eagles Dare", where Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton dispatch what seemed like a thousand Nazis. So satisfying.

J.K. Rowling Insinuates Nazis Did Not Burn Trans Books
Well, in this case, you can lay the blame at Ms. Rowling's feet. Regarding movies, Nazis still make awesome villains. But maybe Jim Caviezel will make a sympathetic bio-pic about Dr. Mengele?

OPINION: If Mr. Trump takes power will more Americans REALLY leave the US this time?
Yes, correct. AFAIK. They just use the word "camps", where undocumented persons will be concentrated to facilitate deportation. I think we'll fall back to the more acceptable "Internment" Camps. That worked in WW2, but did still leave an indelible stain on our democracy.
