The US-Thai Amity Treaty was signed in 1966 to allow US and Thai citizens to go to each other's countries for the purpose of investment and business. Today US citizens can apply under the treaty to own Thai businesses 100%. An Amity treaty company can't own landed property, however.

Doesn't seem like a good game for children, however

So it seems they're not "just good old boys, never meaning no harm"

Yes, the wheels of justice do roll slowly. But the tide is turning now. Hope you are ready.

Get ready for it. "As of November 2022, Donald Trump has been credibly accused of committing at least 56 criminal offenses since he launched his campaign for president in 2015. That total only reflects allegations relating to his time in or running for office and omits, for instance, Trump’s criminal exposure for fraudulent business dealings. " https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-reports/president-trumps-staggering-record-of-uncharged-crimes/

Lily-white, he is not. "According to a 2016 USA Today analysis, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in 3,500 legal cases in U.S. federal and state courts during the previous three decades, an unprecedented number for a U.S. presidential candidate. Of the 3,500 suits, Trump or one of his companies were plaintiffs in 1,900; defendants in 1,450; and bankruptcy, third party, or other in 150.[1] Trump was named in at least 169 suits in federal court.[2] In the 1,300 cases where the record establishes the outcome, Trump settled 175 times, lost 38, won 450, and had another 137 cases end with some other outcome. In the other 500 cases, the cases were dismissed.[1] In 2016, Trump was elected as U.S. President. Numerous legal affairs persisted during and after his presidency. For example, between October 2021 and July 2022 alone, the Republican National Committee paid more than $2 million to attorneys representing Trump in his capacity as President and in his personal and business capacities.[3]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump

There's no doubt that the primary system is messed up. Trump could win his party's nomination in 2024, despite all the headwinds, criminal cases, etc. If he does, it won't be because Trump is "popular". Make no mistake, Biden won both the electoral and the popular vote in 2020, and has a wide following among moderates. "Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump 306-232 in the Electoral College and had a 4-point margin in the popular vote." https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/06/30/behind-bidens-2020-victory/

Didn't bother? More like DOJ under Bill Barr directly interfered in the case, preventing it from going anywhere. Barr acted as if he was Trump's personal lawyer. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/09/09/former-us-attorney-dishes-how-he-held-line-against-trump-white-house/ "Barr’s tenure as attorney general, beginning in February 2019, made things even worse. In September of that year, Berman refused to sign the DOJ’s legal briefs in Trump’s subpoena battle with Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance. Vance was investigating the role of Trump and the Trump Organization in payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal shortly before the 2016 election. The DOJ was planning to file a statement of interest containing the audacious argument that a sitting president could not be criminally investigated, a view the Supreme Court would later reject. Insisting that his office was not “Trump’s personal lawyer,” Berman refused to sign the statement of interest, but the DOJ persisted."

yes who among us hasn't used campaign money to pay off porn stars and playboy bunnies and deducted it on our taxes?

Seems likely:

Some interesting reports on the donor, Harlan Crow

It's interesting to see how Justice Thomas describes the gift giver Harlan Crow and his wife as "dearest friends". What, I wonder, was the basis of this friendship? What was their shared experience that contributed to this great friendship?

If only someone had warned them. Testimony to Senate Judiciary Committee Washington, D.C., October 11, 1991 Anita Hill http://www.speeches-usa.com/Transcripts/anita_hill-testimony.html "After a brief discussions of work, he would turn the conversation to a discussion of sexual matters. His conversations were very vivid. He spoke about acts that he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having sex with animals and films showing group sex or rape scenes. He talked about pornographic materials depicting individuals with large penises or large breasts involving various sex acts. On several occasions, Thomas told me graphically of his own sexual prowess."

Bless your heart.

How about a Hillary Clinton - Donald Trump rematch?

Tax evasion is a seriously common offense in Thailand. There, fixed it for you.

Did Trump also try to claim the hush money as a tax deduction? If so, that's leaning pretty far forward in the fox hole. "But Mr. Bragg also introduced yet another theory, accusing Mr. Trump of falsifying business records as a way to back up planned false claims to tax authorities. “The participants also took steps that mischaracterized, for tax purposes, the true nature of the payments made in furtherance of the scheme,” Mr. Bragg wrote in the statement of facts that accompanied the indictment." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/04/us/politics/trump-bookkeeping-fraud-taxes.html

Indeed. And it sounds like the Secret Service is going to have a lot to say about another case too : "Secret Service agents tied to former President Donald Trump have been subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating Trump’s handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving office. The agents are scheduled to appear before a Washington, DC, grand jury on Friday, Fox News reported Monday. It’s unclear exactly how many agents will give testimony." https://nypost.com/2023/04/03/secret-service-agents-linked-to-trump-subpoenaed/

Wow, what happened to Bangkok air quality today? It had been steadily improving recently, but today's a huge step backwards. Downtown Bangkok Sukhumvit area is registering well above 100 µg/m3

Hi, yes, for what it's worth that's how they had me do the applications back in September last year. I couldn't use the original account alone, I had to create a new separate dependent account for the second person. The two accounts (original and dependent) had to be linked together though.

From the OP article, pretty damning stuff: "In the classified documents case, federal investigators have gathered new and significant evidence that after the subpoena was delivered, Trump looked through the contents of some of the boxes of documents in his home, apparently out of a desire to keep certain things in his possession, the people familiar with the investigation said. Investigators now suspect, based on witness statements, security camera footage, and other documentary evidence, that boxes including classified material were moved from a Mar-a-Lago storage area after the subpoena was served, and that Trump personally examined at least some of those boxes, these people said. While Trump’s team returned some documents with classified markings in response to the subpoena, a later FBI search found more than 100 additional classified items that had not been turned over."

But really there is no United Nations with Russia
