    Calls now being made to ban/sanction Carlson from EU.   Let the punishment & censorship begin :cheesy:

     

    I await the fake sexual assault accusations to follow soon, since the SOP for silencing any narrative against the deep state ... IMHO

    There's always calls made for anything. You have to stay realistic, a ban like that will not carry much support and it won't happen.

    I expect such a review will consider the defamation that Trump continued to heap on Carroll, even while in in court and in earshot of the jury.

     

    It’s not a punitive damage award for a first offense against Carroll, it’s an award for continuing defamation after having first been found liable by the court for defamation.

     

    The punitive damages were stepped up

    as a direct result of Trump’s continuing defamation.

     

    But you already knew that.

    I don't see why such a review would extend to the second ruling if Trump only appeals the first one.

    Yes quite right. But for people who have a history of not respecting the laws.

    In the United States, the device became known as a "Denver boot" after the city of Denver, Colorado, which was the first place in the country to employ them, mostly to force the payment of outstanding parking tickets.[4]

    Your claim "is because of the non-respect of road laws by Thais in Thailand" is simply nonsense. People who park illegally get clamped, here and in the west.

    China and Russia are obviously a threat, but so is Iran. Trump took a hard line with Iran, but Biden has been significantly softer. Reports suggest that in the last 2/3 years Iran has stepped up the pace of it's development of nuclear weaponry, and will likely have an atomic bomb well within 5 years. That is something to be very concerned about.

    Look forward to the links to underline your assertion.

    Appears to me that the use of these drastic means to immobilize a motorbike, is because of the non-respect of road laws by Thais in Thailand.

    So as a Farang, it appears unfair to prevent someone from using his own motorbike, to go pay a fine, for example. The motorbike gets LOCKED. I remember thinking how stupid that was. So much inconvenience, as a result of not understanding parking rules here... Must lose time, pay for a taxi to get to the Police station, pay the fine, get back to the motorbike, and wait for an officer to come and remove the lock, proof of fine payment in hand....

     

    But then any civilized way of doing this, like just writing a ticket, would not be respected by Thai people. Would not pay.

     

    So some drastic actions are taken by Thai governments, because Thais do not respect the laws.

     

    These road divider separating the two directions of traffic on the same road. Very inconvenient, but the only way to prevent drivers to drive in the fashion of sailboats... Laws will not do it.

     

    But then, we have to get used to it.... The law of the land, no matter how unfair they appear....

    So in the west we have wheellocks because westerners don't respect the laws?
