Good. 

 

Let's get this primary over with already and begin the Biden campaign against 45.

 

Also best that Sanders continues to lose badly. Time to put the fake narrative that the nomination is being stolen from Bernie. Not stolen. He's simply losing because he can't get the needed votes. End of. 

It is obvious, the Democrat party is attempting to reject its left wing ahead of the election. I expect Obama to give a ringer of a speech endorsing Biden, this will give great momentum and be the high point of the Biden campaign. The more time Obama spends praising Biden, the better for Biden. Ok so thats the positive for the Democrats who will bounce out of convention United and on a high.

As for the GOP, they will come with Durham releasing report, or sending indictments, potentially getting close to Obama.... AND....the dissection of Joe Biden and son Hunter in various global escapades is going to progressively drip, its gonna get ugly.

It's in the tea leaves; Biden will run against Trump. I wish they stop these games, cancel the electoral colleges and get on with it!

This is not the "electoral colleges" these are the Democrat primaries. And this is how its done in the United States.

eYou've got to be joking. 45 lies more often than any politician in history. 

You distort Joe's positions. Yes he is for sensible gun control as are the vast majority of Americans. Yes he is for restricting certain types of guns that are designed to be quick mass killing weapons of war. No he is not for confiscating all guns. No he is not for abolishing the 2nd amendment. 

Ok lets talk straight. Who did Biden name to head policy on gun issues? Beto.

Did Beto not directly say he would confiscate (buy back) all AR15? Yes or No? Please, no deflection. Now why would Biden put that guy -Beto - in charge of gun policy, a guy who so openly took such a position?

Is it wrong that I would assume that he agrees with such a position? This is not a close loopholes guy, this is a confiscation guy. Why send that message, unless that is exactly the message you want to send. Beto had the most direct words on confiscation of anyone who campaigned, you don't bring a guy like that in by accident. 

And for your information the AR15 was never designed for war, is not a machine gun, is small caliber, and is great for home defense or hunting small medium game. It only looks cool, when compared to other comparable sport rifles.

Also, these rifles are a small amount of total gun murder in the USA.

You know, comparing Thailand to everywhere else, Thailand is doing just fine.

Wishful thinking. It's funny to hear from disappointed 45 fans that were hoping to have a  "commie" to run against. 45 may be the incumbent and that was a tragic error but Biden as a 2 term vice president of a very popular president will be no easy pickings. 

Biden's mind is fading, and he is dirty. It's all coming out. He is going to have to come up with better answers then to become angry, when the pointed questions come, and they will get so specific, that deflection will no longer work, because Trump is going to hammer him.

It will be a seriosly tough thing for this man to step into a head to head debate with Donald Trump. This man is not fit to be a President. Honestly, I don't think he can handle, he can't even handle getting questions on the campaign trail without going off the rails. Everyday, he goes of the rail a little bit more. It's sad to see. Half the time I see him talk it appears like the lights are on and no one is home.

I don't care how much someone hates Donald Trump, to me it seems impossible for someone not to see serious deficiencies in Biden, that seem to be getting worse. I can't see any Democrat giving a vote to Biden without having serious worry about this man making decisions as President, when half the time he doesn't know where he is. Am I exagerating?

Was in a hotel last year with around 50 Israeli backpackers who'd just finished their national service.

They were a really nice and friendly bunch, the girls had very small bikinis, the guys were really buff and had loads of weed, and they were happily including me (the only old guy in the place) in their pass the joint sessions.

When I was younger, I always loved partying with Israelis.

So I bounced from this rewrite of the original, to the original blogpost, and my view is that people who have been in Thailand awhile change as they get older sometimes. They realize its a young world, and they are no longer part of it. Maybe the bargirls treat them different, maybe they snarl at Thai and they snarl back.

I don't particularly think anything in the article is true, other then more people from everywhere are coming to Thailand as more neighboring nations develop and thus have a new class of people who have some affluence and can travel.

Thailand may be concentrating on these rising markets, but I think to them anyone coming to spend money in Thailand is a good thing. Currently down from Bangkok in Phuket a few days. I see people here from everywhere.

Well....it does seem like Papa Biden is going to be the nominee.

Couldn't wish for a better result...judging by the appearance of 30-40

people who attended his rallies in school gyms, one can only imagine the

all the other Dem supporters voting for him while holding their noses.

 

It's about to get a whole lot worse....now at Trump's signal, the information on his Ukraine

misdeeds will slowly drip drip drip out. 

The Democrat National convention looks to be a riot ... literally

I aint' no build a wall kinda guy, and I'm not a Yank either. But, I kinda feel that to have hundreds of thousands of people fleeing their own countries because of economic and war pressures and 'invading' and 'overwhelming' the social services of that country needs to be addressed in different ways.

How about working towards 'carrots not sticks' approaches with the <deleted> who run these countries down to the point people flee them to survive! Share wealth and cooperation to help each other a bit more. Trade wars embargos unfair trade practices, exploitation for cheap labour, raping natural resources of one poor/er place to build up the lifestyles of another country might need to be seriously rethought.

Yeah I know that sounds like some socialist idea, maybe it is/! My thinking is along the lines of helping your neighbour to help yourself.

Is it the responsiblity of the USA to give their useless governments money? To support them? Prop them up? Overthrow them? Put in a democratic new guy? It never ends.

Their aren't any wars in South America. Lawless corrupt countries but not at war. People need to take responsibility for their own country. Not expect the US, UK, EU or Australia etc to simply let them move there and look after them.

Agreed, and often overlooked, is that the USA, intervening in politics of another country, is then grounds to blame the US later (They always do) for taking sides, and any intervention by the USA, is taking a side. Fact of the matter is Governments in Central/South America, have for the most part always been a mess. And contrary to popular opinion it hasn't been the fault of US policy. A wall precedes, all discussion of immigration policy. 20 million illegal aliens, is a ridiculous number. We have literally lost control.

he will say that all 3 judges are NO Trumpers and will assign new ones, preferably Trumpists

He cant "assign" new judges. Why do you people all follow US politics, and then also claim to know how the US Gov works?

Judges to the 9th circuit are appointed. Someone dies, or retires, someone gets appointed.

Does it really matter a company can hire who ever they want and pay them what ever they want. Any proof that the old man was enriched by his sons employeement. And did Joe provide any help for the country of the Ukraine outside of his normal VP responsibilities

Sure, but if you happen to be the son of the VP of the USA, on the board of one of the most corrupt companies in Ukraine, with serious legal issues, and can't even clarify to US media what skill you brought to the position, and 3 mil was routed out via your accounts, and your check seems rather high...well.....I suppose if this was Donald Trump Jr your position would be the same?

I am happy for him. I am not sure if 70,000 thb is paying through the nose. The guy spent his whole life here and feels Thai. Oh well.

For foreigners to get simple residency is 79000 thb.
