Next, find the bodies.

It is called a "land and building tax" not a "profit from business after building tax" . It sounds logical and the BMA was clearly making too much from it before

She hasn't admitted guilt. No witness observed her administering the cyanide. It all sounds circumstantial so preparation is important.

The dark glasses don't help.

I guess they feel that they have to get rich like those they see on TV. Too much ostentatious shows of wealth these days.

It isn't a witch-hunt if they catch lawbreakers. It's doing what they are paid to do. Doesn't matter the color of the skin, illegal means just that.

Parents thought their kid could not attend classes and still pass?

This has always been my nightmare - running out of money and living under a bridge. I am elated they got money but will they spent it wisely as they say? Usually, a pickup truck comes first, then 1 Baht gold chains. Wish them luck and hope there is a follow-up in one year's time.

No sh*t Sherlock.

So TAT doesn't believe Pita will be Prime Minister and have so much time on his hands that he can spend opening shopping malls?

Hang on hang on. When has a Speaker not come from a party? Or is Pheu Thai saying the Speaker should come from their party only?

I have heard, "Do you know who I am?" but not "Do you know who he is?" before. Why didn't the Chinese guy lock his doors?

While Trump did not order the national guard to put down the insurrection, most being charged were actually there physically. He may be charged with something but not with leading it I suspect. De Santis can say anything at this point. It will be up to the voters whether he can do anything.

Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Soe Win, if you think that Thailand's done? We will have a submarine that will stop your little game We may not have the F35 that will make you think again But Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Soe Win, if you think that Thailand's done?

Rape ALL women in the area? At the same time?

Not sure why gender prefixes and suffixes are high in the agenda. Poverty and national development seem a wee bit more important.

73 and still going?

The institutions that the military believe hold it together. Mistaken or not, I have met some of these nationalists and they are sincere.

Just wondering how all these beer companies are explained as a monopoly to ordinary people. They are in business and are allowed to sell after all.

Pretty sure the senate believes its job is to protect the country - not the people - from ruin. They see the country as a series of institutions that go back centuries. Democracy is not one of those institutions.

The amount of jokes against Chinese available on the net means we should calm down when the same comes back.

I cannot imagine how the govt will explain all this to ordinary Thais. Move Forward Spokesperson (MFS): "We are going to break up the beer monopoly here." People: "So you mean there is only one beer company in Thailand?" MFS: "No, we are talking about Boonrawd and ThaiBev." People: "Do you think we're stupid. That's a duopoly." MFS: "We want to break up the duopoly then." People: "And what about Thai Asia Pacific Brewery, Phuket Beer, Siam breweries and Klassik beer?" MFS: "As we said, we want to break up the, er, multi-thingame-opoly." People: "But we like watery Thai beer. Are you changing this because one or two people want to enter the market? Or because foreigners ordered you to? This is Thailand, you know?" MFS: "B*gger it, we want to introduce strong beers that will make everyone too drunk to see us muck up other things. OK?"

This won't bother the superrich as they can move home when it rains.

I do understand that Americans bandy the word treason around mainly because they cannot think of a stronger word or phrase than "I don't like him." Yet, the number of people who have called treason here on AN (and Twitter!) is excessive. The US Constitution is very specific. Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: Treason against the United States, shall consist only (my emphasis) in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The last American found guilty of treason was in... 1952. It is so rare for people to be accused officially of treason that even famous spies like Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen and Jonathon Pollard were prosecuted for espionage, not treason, because Congress had not declared was on the USSR. Sorry for being pedantic but when anyone says, "He's a traitor" whether about Trump or the group that invaded the Capitol, I can't help but feel they are hurting their own, perhaps otherwise not unreasonable, argument by not understanding the facts. Apologies for the intermission.

When everyone is sure of something, that's when doubt arises.
