A couple of weeks wages is hardly going to move the needle is it? More jobs with better monthly wages would work.

Vitriol. That's a good word.

While I wouldn't put down the fact there was peace during his presidency, for whatever reasons, I wonder if foreign policy is really a major talking point for the election. I get the feeling the national economy is a bigger issue.

Who taught these children that antisemitism, rape and paedophilia are acceptable? Adults.

Sounds like a case of night terrors. Be careful as some people fall out of bed (happened to me) and you could hurt yourself. See: Night Terrors: Causes and Tips for Prevention (sleepfoundation.org)

Lots of Thai artefacts apparently went missing during the Vietnam war. Carabao actually wrote a protest song about this (different artefact from the news article). Take back Michael Jackson Give back our Phra Narai. (เอาไมเคิล แจ็คสันคืนไป เอาพระนารายณ์คืนม) It is good they returned this, but why wait so many years?

When reading about both, Kennedy comes across as more of a Loony Tunes character. I do admit to admiring his environmental work but his political views are just nuts. List of RFK Jr. Conspiracy Theories The Covid-19 virus was genetically engineered. Covid-19 targets certain races and gives others immunity (it attacks Caucasians and black people but spares Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people) Dr. Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates sought to exaggerate the pandemic, in part, to promote vaccines (Kennedy Jr. accused the pair in his 2021 book, The Real Anthony Fauci of launching "a historic coup d'état against Western democracy" by exercising outsize influence over the media and public health realm, while Kennedy also promoted use of unapproved treatments for Covid-19, such as ivermectin.) Vaccines can cause autism (despite consensus among a number of certified health organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and more that have found no credible link between vaccines and autism) Mass shootings are linked to prescription drugs The 2004 presidential election was stolen The CIA was involved in the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy The wrong person may have been convicted of killing his father (he says someone psychologically programmed Sirhan) The pharmaceutical industry is throwing money at Democrats (STAT News found 23 of the country’s biggest drug companies and 2 pharmaceutical trade organizations have favored Republicans in 14 of the past 16 elections from 1990-2020) Gun ownership in Switzerland is similar to the United States (U.S. civilians possess an average of 120.5 firearms per 100 people, the highest per-capita rate in the world, compared to 27.6 in Switzerland) Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly disavowed the “anti-vaxx” label, claiming he is not against safe vaccines and has vaccinated his children.

In 1982, Kennedy was assistant district attorney for Manhattan.After failing the New York bar exam, he resigned. That September, he was charged with heroin possession in South Dakota.He pleaded guilty. Fauci is a physician-scientist and immunologist who served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He has a Doctor of Medicine degree and was ranked first in his class. At Cornell, he focused on adult internal medicine, mainly infectious diseases and the immune system. He developed therapies for formerly fatal diseases such as polyarteritis nodosa, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. (Both people have extensive Wikipedia biographies) So, do you trust the former heroin addict or the scientist?

Misogyny is still alive and well in developed and undeveloped countries I see

A drone taking pictures is nice propaganda but not cause for war. Tighten up air security and make defensive plans instead of planning total war.

People who pay good money to see a pop concert probably don't want to hear a lecture on politics.

Fauci is fortunate to have other scientists to back him up. Kennedy only has his imagination. 😘

Not the first time anyone has said they want Pattaya to be a family destination. Will it survive without prostitution? The last time I looked there was very little too see. Reports of black water, katoeys beating up foreigners regularly. I think it will be a difficult job.

Um l don't know if the anti vaccine guy is a neutral source.

Why does America have to kiss the ring of Crown Prince Mohammed "Chopper" bin Salman? Why did America forget that the pilots who flew into the twin trade towers were Saudi? Hmm. It will come to me in a minute.

The Philippines needs stronger water pistols and steel rams on the front of their ships.

Jobs have been lost since COVID and more people are in debt. Hardly surprising if the crime rate rises. Create jobs. Train skills.

Unfortunately, you are correct. 🙄

Farage is still a wally. But then, Labour has no charismatic leader of its own. Undoubtedly, Labour looks like a clear winner-takes-all party but goodness knows how they will solve the country's economic problems. The NHS is the jewel in Britain's crown but nobody seems to have a cunning plan.

You could have been right if covid hadn't happened.

Well, this is strange. People complaining about something America does that they would love to see happen in Thailand. Green card for a Thai wife in America? Why no permanent residence for the husband of a Thai in Thailand?

Over the past decade both the public, and importantly politicians, have failed to grasp that once they do something illegal on video, it is available forever. While there is some trepidation about the abundance of phone cameras and CCTV it can help to solve a lot of crime and show voters how idiotic some of their politicians are

Dr. Fauci is retired and so far no one has the evidence to try him for crimes. Let him be.

Sounds reasonable but would have liked to know about counter arguments from opposition parties (if any).

How did they break into the room safe without waking him up?

Thaksin's alleged criminal case occurred in the past and was presumably done as charged. MFP hasn't actually done anything and allegations of their plans exclude the possibility they might change their plans.
