No policies in any of her speeches 

Policies?  Problem is if you want Harris to talk about policies, and she has already talked about the economy etc..  Then Trump would have to respond  The last person capable of talking about policies is Donald the Trump. The republican Party has been begging him to talk about policy, cut the snark & a bit of the nastiness (ten years on and it seem to be getting old to many undecided voters). He can't, he doesn't know how. What would he say? His policy of tax cuts for the wealthy. His policy of firing any government official that does not kowtow to him personally, but instead upholds the rule of law. Not going to win doing that. 

Smart move setting the ground work to back out of that debate. Trump knows he will likely get forced into talking about policies, his weak spot. Harris would beat him like a gong. For good or ill he has to go with what got him here in the first place, that most definitely is  not issues or policies..

Sanctions...for what?   Cobblers.  

For not getting the business.....but called, you know, a threat to national security (no further information given). They are already looking at Thailand as a Currency manipulator. 

A New York Post article ... It is not even news, it is an opinion about the news. Opinions from right wing blowhards.

The unthinkable may very well happen if Trump can't get on point.

He is on point with his snark, his insults, rants & tag line lies. That is his strength. However he is being advised to try and do real 'issues' by staff and fellow repubs .. ... Trump doing the economy, a stand up routine about inflation & tic tac containers.  Even his fans were bored & confused.  He has to stay with the snark, venom, the racism & lies. There is no way he can win with issues.

Go with what you know.

 

Thailand was not occupied by Japan in WWII. They were Japan's ally.

Thailand occupied and was set to absorb, the Shan States section of Burma, today's Myanmar. They also occupied and were again set to absorb the western part of Cambodia, into Thailand. These territorial gains were the rewards of being Japan's ally in the war.

Oooh Biden doesn't like it when those annoying Chinese are capable of obliterating the US. It was so much better when the US was able to obliterate China without any comeback.

China had ICBM's deployed by the late 70's. China has had the capability to obliterate the US for almost fifty years & eight US Presidents.

BTW, Likely S Korea will go nuke by the end of this decade. Given political instability in the US (Trump) they want have their own little radioactive pile a death. N. Korea is next door & shakes their nukes a bit much. Hey, perhaps China, can play peacemaker for the Koreas ...  ... or not.

 

Good to see a Bob Scott byline. A premier albino primate, churning out content about Thailand topics.

Bravo

What's the red or yellow pickup with passengers in theback?

The red are known as rod daeng. Cynical opinion is they call them baht buses in this article, instead of rod daeng, as locals & tourists detest the *&#$ ers.

They were useful once. However the city should get a real bus system. BTW Rod daeng drivers and the Pu-Yai owners behind them have stopped at least two attempts to do so in the last 20 years.

 

It is a farce but Disney is trying to increase litigation costs, as the payout is only 50K, it may not be worth it to proceed, as lawyer fees will eat a lot of that even if they win. . 

It should be noted the plaintiffs have already been paid by the Restaraunt/Pubs insurance company. And you can bet it was a BIG payout. Theya re just trying to pump Disney for an additional 50K.  Disney is the landlord, nothing to do with the Pub, staff, training, allergy protocols, etc. However a big name, with deep pockets ...  Always the money, always.

IMO it is unlikely that the lawyers tactic will work because the Ts&Cs agreed to relate to streaming services only.

This will probably be ruled to proceed to a Court case.

Then Disney will probably make an offer.

Then the negotiations start between plaintiff and Disney and the Restaurant.

Hope the restaurant has good indemnity insurance - and the employee better get a good lawyer.

Is not Disney doing this to increase potential litigation costs if they really want to go forward with this? Its is only a 50K pay out. Lawyers will eat up a lot of that, even if a joke of a case. It should be noted that  Disney is just the landord. They had nothing to do The Pub, its staff, training, allergy protocols etc. The plaintiffs are just trying to get a little cream on top of their payout by putting Disney on the spot& in the news.  The Raglan Road Irish Pubs's insurance company  has already settled. I can't imagine anything less than 7 figure amount and not in baht.

 They are all scheming and planning for years,

Yeah twenty years.

For all the cooing from the cheap seats about puppet master, two decades is a long time to wait, & yeah he has enemies. But they view the MFP as a bigger threat so. Still I don't think the T man wanted PM Srettha dumped like that. This is a power response, you want to play that way, here is what I got ... full house. Lets see if you can top that.

Disney is vile ... maybe.  They probably should settle if it is small as 50K but  ...

Kanokporn’s husband, Piccolo, decided to take legal action against Disney, accusing the company’s staff of recklessness

"The companys staff"  

The Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant, where the food poisoning occurred is owned by two businessman from Dublin Ireland. The restaurant and owners are directly responsible for food preparation and allergy guidelines. Of course they have been sued. Disney is not the owner of that Pub/Restaurant, has nothing to do with the staff, the training or allergy food guidelines etc. They are the landowner, that is all. They do make sure all business have insurance for incidents exactly like this. 
 

This lawsuit & is a secondary, just trying to mine more money. Not a Disney fan,  but you can assume Raglan Road Irish Pubs Insurance has already provided a payout for the claim, a significant payout.


 

The Deep State brings the  T Man back to spike the MFP's win, then turns on him. You gotta admire the audacity of their double dealing deceit.  

Another judicial coup, and what fun! The Deep state smacks down the T man's proxy after putting MFParty down for the count. All in a weeks work. That's a power move.

Thankfully I have a large & strong cup of coffee this morning. I'm going to need it. 
BTW, our offensive line is coming along, but that defense is going to tear helI off the cross this season. 

Transfer on Monday. Arrival date of August 9th, BKK Bank. Happy to get an e mail, money arrived late today. Only Four days. I exchanged e mails with customer service regarding this and a previous transfer during this last week. Their response was 'this is the way it is', nothing more & no explanation of why now. I have been a satisfied customer for years and will stay with them for now. However, I will also look at other options more seriously than I have in the past. 

I picked up liver flukes years back. I assume from Lap Gnu or Laap Mu (with the uncooked blood) consumed with copious amounts of alcohol, back when young & dumb. I'm older now. Can you get worms from street food? Sure, and a lot of other places. However excellent chance you will not get them if you pay attention to what the heck you stuff in your face. Over a decade, no worms or parasites. 

They are out there though, and parasites can be tricky little f--k-rs.
