The story is a good illustration of why governments have never won a "war on drugs" anywhere in the world. When people with mental health issues are left to live on the streets, one cannot be surprised if they want to deaden the pain.

I have a feeling that if they get to 70% they will simply change the law to 80% or more. Didn't Thaksin pay off the country's debt to the IMF in record time?

Clearly a lie. The video of Trump saying it on TV proves that.

You forgot to mention that Bush crashed the economy created by Reagan and that Clinton not only recovered the economy, surpassing both, but that historically, Republicans have sunk the economy and the Democrats boosted it.

And yet.... you don't give a link to anything that proves what you say. Whereas I can give lots. Don't be too sure your guesses will be proven. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-gloats-debate-audience-went-crazybut-there-was-none https://www.aol.com/trump-claims-audience-went-crazy-105012359.html https://www.salon.com/2024/09/19/delusional-and-unsettling-forgets-there-was-no-debate-audience-claims-crowd-went-crazy/ https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-says-debate-audience-111201992.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGQUALBU1B-GusZ0qMhs_RMbrkFKZop-eQFnnzlOWCePQbx8ZvGHSMUXvBNwGMkM_GmCD0GFIdS-bjkmXQWDO55PwC3vhtQB8jNqN0VkhKlNiy_YD7pbkBFKj6aYtMGbisNYxBMSRz5uaq3tQJ_KpL1VRFid8YNiWVw5joy1k-WL https://www.newsweek.com/trump-praises-nonexistent-debate-crowd-they-went-crazy-1956251 https://www.salon.com/2024/09/19/delusional-and-unsettling-forgets-there-was-no-debate-audience-claims-crowd-went-crazy/ https://newrepublic.com/post/186138/donald-trump-kamala-harris-debate-audience And to finally smash your argument into the floor, here is Trump saying this himself.

He just came out to say the audience at the debate went crazy for him. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-audience-harris-debate-gutfeld-b2615455.html 🤣

Rich men taking advantage of poor girls is an old story. But in his private apartment? Should they have gone there alone with his reputation?

A whole new can of worms. Measuring income? Let's see your bank accounts. Show us the receipts for what you have earned. Not more than 300,000 Baht a year? "Darling I'm home! Guess what, I just made 310,000 Baht this year!" Policeman puts head in window. "We are confiscating your stall as you are making more than a poor person." How to keep people poor 101.

Met him briefly once. Very unhealthy person. I don't know why he wants a parliamentary seat when he isn't capable of doing anything while there. I guess he is an institutional watchdog only.

The BOT Governor has nothing to do with catching criminals. The commercial banks and credit card companies must work with the police. They also need to improve their security but their job is not to run in the streets catching criminals. Scams work by tricking people, so education might help.

Normally, I see no issues with right wing conservatives forming a party that few will vote for. I just can't help the niggly feeling that that there is some subterfuge about to happen.

Against centres in Rwanda but OK with Albania. They are all economic migrants. Except in war zones, improving trade and investment might help.

Right wing entertainment channel Fox says its survey puts Harris in the lead with 50%. No meaning I guess. https://www-foxnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.foxnews.com/official-polls/fox-news-poll-harris-tops-trump-two-points.amp?amp_js_v=0.1&amp_gsa=1#webview=1

How come the name of the officer and Fifth Infantry Division commander Maj Gen Chalermchai Wirunpeth and other military officers involved in the operation are not mentioned amongst the murder suspects, just the order-obeying serfs?

All the good videos are too blurry.

SAAB Grippen? Westland Whirlwind helicopter? When something is that blurry it could literally be any aircraft.

Many westerners will understand loss of face. It is similar to "deep embarrassment."

Great way to escalate this to the point that Putin sees nuclear weapons as the only was of stopping the Ukraine. The former UK Defence Secretaries probably don't understand that World War I started after a foreigner was assassinated and grew from there.

I don't think he was selling anything, just pointing out governments just aren't prepared for a serious pandemic. That much can't be argued with.

Once a cheat, always a cheat.

The do-gooders should be forced to take in migrants. 15 to a room, one toilet.

When the Baht was 25 to the dollar, Thailand was known as a regional tiger. The central bank deals with monetary policy not commerce.

How will they track what goes to the government and what goes into the pocket of the immigration guy who collects cash? Better to collect via electronic payment or credit cards only. Then the immigration police will say. "Well, that didn't work, did it?"

Strange that Russia has had problems with Muslims in Afghanistan and Dagestan yet wants to join with them now.
