That is one argument. The other is that she pretended to be an ethnic minority to capitalize on the "affirmative action" movement and further her career. That this fraud helped her career immeasurably sets alarm bells ringing for me. I would like to see a full investigation and if it is found that she did unfairly use her pretend ethnic minority status to further her career then she must pay back all salaries, and serve prison time. 

 She was the most insincere out of all the dem candidates(remember that toe curling "i'm gonna go get me a beer" video??), and I'm glad she has dropped out. Now it's time to face lady justice.

I rarely agree with your opinions but this is spot on. She is a weather vane pointing in whatever direction the money is blowing. Say what you will about Sanders, his record is the most stable of all candidates.

Damn - I believe this is one of the best stories (regarding details) I've ever seen!

Honesty and authorities in the same sentence?

Water seeks its own level.

Remember this kind of ad?

Kelly's is a much less expensive alternative, particularly if you're mixing it with coffee.

Soi 6? hmmmmhhh ?... I have move my hunting grounds from Nana to Cowboy, which is less LB polluted, though not exempt, sadly.

When I first got here late 2006, there were no LB's on Soi 6. Over time, they worked their way in and became aggressive to the point I just stopped going there. Seems they shoot themselves in their high-heeled feet.

Went to Macro this morning, the security guard at the entrance was checking everyone's temp with an external thermometer before allowing them to enter.

it took years to be recognized as Thai until recently.

Wake up, homey - you will NEVER be recognized as Thai. You may have a document and speak like a native but your face says otherwise.

That will DESTROY those poor trades people who carry their wares across daily.

Schools are being hit heavy in preparation/precaution, and it will cost teachers a lot more money than they can afford in forced quarantine/need to get a doctor's certification for being clear of the virus under threat of being fired if they leave then return during the summer holiday. That's how my little microcosm is being affected, I can only imagine how the rest of the world is dealing with it in real world terms.

Warren is a political weather vane and Bloomberg is not? 

I never even hinted at any such thing. Warren was the subject.

You know that's nonsense. And wasn't Trump's original intent to turn the gubmint upside down, "draining the swamp?"

Thailand has had native English teachers for years. There was a forum with hundreds of them on there.

Do they not want to learn  , were the teachers not up to it ?

 

The quality of many of those "native speakers" is horrendous. I personally know two Language teachers (at this school, only Thais are allowed to teach English) and I can't understand about half of what they say due to their thick accents. This school is the largest private school system in all Southeast Asia and the majority of teachers are working illegally because the low wages offered won't attract valid, legal teachers. Starting salary is 30k without a degree, 35k with. As I said, you get what you pay for.

 She is very vulnerable, and is probably unelectable. 

She has shown herself to be a political weather vane, pointing in whatever direction the money is blowing. Unelectable indeed!
