Some are happy just like with Wikileaks.  Some loved that, some didn't.  In this case, we've been alerted one of the highest ranking officials with the US government has been illegally sharing info with a hostile country.  At a time when the president was kicking 35 of their spies out!  That's what terrifies people.

Nonsense. What info did he share? And this to a country who's cyber intelligence is so good it reshaped the US elections. You think Ryan said anything sensitive?

Good point.  As with Wikileaks, some consider this a good thing.  If proven Trump and his associates colluded with Russian officials, then isn't this a good thing?  Leak or not, it would have gotten out eventually.  If true, which so far, appears to be the case.

"colluded", colluded with what? To keep US?Russia relations on an even keel, to try and stop the world tipping towards more anti-russia sentiment. The whole thing is a farce designed to make Trump feel uncomfortable, and let him know in no uncertain terms who really runs the USA and it's not the president.

America's own intelligence agencies are leaking information to try to bring down the elected President. Treason indeed!

I don't get why this doesn't terrify people. 

This is and always has been a red herring. It is only being perpetuated to keep the story going that somehow the Russians changed the result of the US elections which is frankly impossible, but some muppets are always willing to believe it could have happened so they have someone else to blame.

So nobody is worried that US organizations which are there to support the POTUS have taken an independent decision to provide the media with info to attack him and destabilize his position? Since when is that OK?

what is the charge actually for?

Facts:

- Not one person from any of the 7 travel ban countries  has ever committed a terrorist act on American soil.

- All 9-11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia & UAE.

- Osama bin Laden was a Saudi Arabia citizen. 

- Saudi Arabia & UAE are not on Trump's travel ban list.

- Trump has extensive, profitable business dealings with both Saudi Arabia & UAE.

Obvious & glaring conclusion: Trump has little interest in preventing the next terrorist attack on American soil.  His temporary travel ban on the 7 islamic countries is all a PR stunt to appease his supporters.  Trump is conning his supporters,...again.  

Now, is that true when you add in Europe? Or do you think POTUS just wants to avoid what has happened in Europe?

I bought myself one of these yesterday for £325 minus wheels. Which was too good to pass up. Just need to get it there now

There is zero evidence the UK will be any worse off after we leave the EU, even the BoE governor now agrees that it is the EU that will suffer much more then the UK.. as above

I definitely want more of a road bike/ gravel bike for roads in and around Phrae. Seems like there are better bargains back here in the UK though so bike in a box is looking good. 

Quick question. I am planning to bring over one of my spare bikes on Thai Air this year, as part of luggage allowance, but as an alternative wondered if I would be able to get anything for around 10,000 baht? Used of course.

Something like a fast hybrid with tiagra or 105 would do. Any chance or just stick to the bike in a box idea and bring one from the UK?

Thanks

In any other economy, this would lead to consistent price drops across the board for buyers, but I have been watching property around Bangkok for 3 years or so and it shows no sign of doing anything but going up. It doesn't make sense at all.

What happens if she refuses to pay compensation? Why the hell would she want to pay any compensation. Mad really.

The Thai people seem to have an amazing resilience to continual bad news stories like this that are life threatening to all, but yet they just keep ignoring the problem. Thailand really is amazing. I think it should be Mind Boggling Thailand

China has been very happy this past 30 years that no one has challenged them on any level, they know the rules of the game, and China is very very good at exploitng those rules for its own benefit and the benefit of the communist party.

Now the rules have changed.

Is this a joke?

When I say rigged, I mean the samples were skewed.

Three weeks ago Trump proclaimed loudly many times that voting was rigged and he would refuse to accept the result is hc won.

 

Now he claims demands for recount as a scam and voting is over.

 

This is the clown who is going to run the USA for the next 4 years with enormous impact on the world and his 'policies' are all over the shop and frightening.

 

God save us. 

 And do you know why he claimed that? Because his private polling was telling him he was going to win, and every other single poll in the US establishment was telling him he was going to lose. So if he believed his own very accurate polls, something was up, either with the result or with the polls. As it turned out, it was the polls that were rigged.

It's just evolution weeding out the unfit. What a moron.

You mean the antisemitic Bannon? Thats the best for the job in your view?

Do you have any proof of this, other than a one statement he is supposed to have made to his ex-wife and used as a way of gouging money from him during a divorce? Or are you just repeating what you have been told by other liberals?

Co-ops are what these farmers need to be thinking, and maybe then they really can do away with greedy millers. It's a hard sell though, by brother in law has been trying to get the farmers around Phrae to do same, he even bought a milling machine, but there is a strong resentment of change. Maybe now is the time.

more importantly can they go faster than 11mph?
