Looks like he is already dressed for jail.

Does anyone have any information where in Udon this so called bad massage took place? It would be a public service if we knew.

I am really looking for someone who can tell me the steps to take for getting a US visa for a Thai person. I was hoping someone who has done this recently could point me in the right direction by sharing their experience or telling which part of the US Consulate's website is most useful. I understand if you have had a US visa in the past and the expiration date of the visa is not more than forty eight months, no interview is necessary.

So he did it last year but now cant remember how to do it? He did the visa ten years ago. The US visas are good for ten years. Things have changed

Does anyone know the procedure (steps) for obtaining a US tourist visa for a Thai citizen? I know about the income requirements, etc. What is the procedure? I mean what do you do first, second, etc. I have a Thai friend who has received confirmation for submitting his D-160 application online. The confirmation says this is the first step in the process. Does anyone know what the next steps are in the process? This Thai person is applying for a tourist visa renewal. The old tourist visa expired one year ago. Thank you

Trump and Musk all already bumping heads. So I think you are right. Musk will not put up with being told what to do for very long. I just hope at this point we get to see neo liberalism on trial to see how good or bad it is in action. Critics of Trump and the neo liberal model often mention that the main reason government agencies need to cut budgets is that the .1% are not paying their fair share of taxes. However, you cannot apologize for inefficient government agencies and maybe Musk and company can do something about this, but will it be at the expense of lower income people who cannot hire lobbyists to do their bidding in Washington?

The problem is that Musk receives billions of dollars a year in government contracts. Also, he will have the power to influence major decisions that could affect the success or prosperity of his own businesses such as Space X and its subsidiary, Star link as well as Tesla. I do not question Musk's ability as a knowledgeable advisor; however, are we supposed to assume he is a nice guy and will of course do the right thing for the country? OR could it be that his own interests come before those of the country and the public good? This is a dilemma - when the billionaire class is put in such influential, non-elected positions.

I have been told that the amount of time it takes to get a transfer completed on Wise depends not only on the amount, but the country of origin. Is it true that transfers from the USA take longer due to banking laws? Does anyone have first hand knowledge as to whether or not banking laws play a factor in international transfers?

I think Thailand has allowed weed and now possibly gambling because they are losing manufacturing jobs and they need revenue. I question how much gambling revenue will stay in the country? How many Thai people have the resources to invest in this kind of game? Will the average Thai citizen be able to apply and be hired for jobs at the entertainment complexes without paying tribute?

I had hoped to find some good information in this post, but it seems most of the energy was spent on disparaging "the other side." I think many people follow Trump because they feel no one else is looking out for them. As we enter the final week of another US presidential election season with candidates brought to us by the donor class, Americans are perhaps being forced to vote for the person they hate least. This election for many is a forced choice. I for one do not really appreciate Donald Trump, but 70 million people voted for him. It sounds quite arrogant to brush off 70 million people as A-holes or ingenuous because they think Trump is the best. Do you dislike Trump for all the things he says or do you take issue with the way he says them? One social critic has opined that Trump is the middle finger of US politics in the 21st century. Many followers of Trump see him as a vent for their despair as the quality of life has continued to diminish over the last generation for many in the US. People whose jobs have been out-sourced; people who feel immigrants are taking their jobs as well as a host of other threats which causes angst among a great percentage of the electorate. A goodly number of people also feel the US is less likely to go to war with Trump in office. Trump speaks using the vocabulary of common people and many admire Trump because he is not just another politician who has been in an elected office for the last 40 odd years. Many Americans feel the US needs a businessman to lead the country. My problem with Trump is that he is not the best person to articulate the viewpoints of his constituency. We do not need a president that exudes reality TV sentiment He can be quite brash, and he sets a negative tone by speaking at numerous rallies across the US with vitriol. I also think Trump is in large part responsible for the mess we find ourselves in today and that is calling people who disagree with us liptards. jerks or A-holes. I think history may look back at this era as THE AGE OF TRUMP. Have any of you ever heard Donald Trump laugh? I haven't and this gives me reason for pause. What happened to the days when people would say, "I disagree with you 100% but I would die fighting for you your to say it?" I am reserving my vote for a year when I have a choice.

The tourist revenue is not free money. The incident described herein is one example of the responsibilities the host country must assume when inviting millions of foreigners into their country; many of whom are ignorant of the culture. The perpetrator of the crime appears to be breaking the law, surely.

According to some social critics the empire has already ended.

Good to know that there was none of this happening under the previous administration. Wait, what? Crime statistics show a decline in overall crime. Ah, right is all a conspiracy to cover up. Every American involved is corrupt and covering up the truth … I would venture to say that many of the crimes involving well armed, violent gangs go unreported. The statistics show less crime but this does not reflect reality.

Didn't Harris turn down a debate with Trump on FOX? I don't blame either candidate because neither CNN or FOX are impartial.

Murdoch, in his quest for money, has singlehandedly caused the great division and hatred of the left versus right in GB, USA and Australia. He has stirred it up and convinced the gullible that they have problems that they don’t. Created unnecessary fear. And made billions doing it. And unashamedly they also use the line “you can not trust the mainstream media” of which he is. You can not trust his version of mainstream media because all he cares about is clickbait. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Award winning journalist Matt Taibbi has written a great book on this topic, entitled, Hate Inc. It is widely acclaimed. It is a historical analysis of how the US media has changed through the years from 3 network news broadcasters, to cable news and onto social media and podcasting. Taibbi states that Fox's decision to broadcast conservative news was a business decision as stated in the opening of the post I have quoted.
