you're flogging a dead 'nothing burger' horse, if you can pin point actual evidence as to how Russia interfered in the 2016 election? then prove it?

i welcome it, actual facts, not sweeping statements like 'micro targeting'....

who turned their vote to trump rather than killton..... US claims to have the best intel in the world..but seems they cannot give direct facts, just blanket statements.

Read the muller report. Collusion between the trump campaign and Russian intelligence proven.

I just checked the UK rules on this and you can turn without the right hand light being green as long as the main lights are at green - obviously as long as the right turn light isn't red and there's no oncoming traffic.

 

Whether the Thai rules are any different, I know not but I doubt it. Never seen anything like a Thai Highway Code - does one exist?

Right, UK rules.

You don't know whether a Thai highway code exists but nevertheless feel the need to comment on Thai traffic rules.

But did she really have to wait?  In no way am I supporting the Russian guy's actions - let's be clear on that. I also don't know how the subject lights function. However I have often come across possibly the same situation at a traffic lights in Pak Chong.  I doubt that Thailand's rules are any different on this but at this particular set of lights, I don't think many Thai drivers know how to handle them. 

 

There is a right hand turning lane and a 'filter' light controlling it. When the main lights turn to green ALL the red lights go out, including the one on the right filter lane. The green light for that lane though, doesn't come on until the main lights turn red again.  Therefore, even though there is no green filter light, the red light has gone out and providing there is no oncoming traffic, its fine to turn right.  If it wasn't, the filter light would remain red.

 

Many drivers sit there waiting until the green filter light comes on - despite the fact that there is no oncoming traffic and the filter light is out.

No. There's a red light that won't turn to neutral or so. There is no filter light as you call it  You wait till the light to turn right turns green.

My question remains: how many more destroyed oil refineries before Russia runs out of fuel for their war machine?

Different question with different intent. "The question is how many Russian oil refineries have to be attacked before there is noticeable disruption to supply?"

It could be noticeable already. Unless you think China will publicaly start complaining.

I guess the media is enamoured with using the phrase "hush money" to describe Trump's conviction. Too bad it isnt true. Paying the whore to be quiet was not illegal.  It was the paperwork done afterwards where a Franken-felony was created. But I guess it just doesn't sound as sexy to say "book-keeping error conviction". 

Error? No way, deliberate illegal bookkeeping, hence the conviction.

what a crook. is he the only 1... and what about the others ? how many of them are pigs. it does say justices (plural) at the start so i am assuming there is more than just him. 

 

the others are probably not as greedy or just haven't been found out yet. 

It's all very well explained in the OP.

The "nothing burger"   "Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort on Monday publicly admitted that he gave polling data to Konstantin Kilimnik, a suspected Russian intelligence asset.

just like 'Russian 'coluision' or 'Russian interference'' as it was quickly re-named after there was nothing to pin on Trump!

You really don't see any Trump campaign involvement?

Clearly this guy is no tourist. If he were, he would have gone home and forgotten the incident. The fact he has a lawyer in Phuket and intends to return in September indicates he has business and/or family here.

 

Investigative journalism this isn’t.

If he's on a tourist visa he will be classed a tourist.

As long you can swim, you will make it f you not fight it. Just let the rip tide take you out, swim across to one of the sides. But the problem is when people panic, and fight it. 

Rips took him further out, but there were also high waves. A really dangerous combination causing no visibility.

Why hasn't it drawn attention to the lifeguards not getting people out of the water before someone like this happens? Is this not what lifeguards are supposed to do? Call you into the shore when the swimming becomes dangerous. Christ, the lifeguards took the time to change the flags but forgot the people. 

"Why hasn't it drawn attention to the lifeguards not getting people out of the water before someone like this happens"

You really don't know whether they tried or not.

The swing to the right is not big enough for any direct policy changes. Also infighting in the right fractions divides them. So I don't see any drastic effects for the moment.

How has Russian cooperation with the Trump campaign has not been proven? 

 

Clearly the FBI was helping the Bidan campaign, why do you not seem to care about that? 

Can you please translate?

"How has Russian cooperation with the Trump campaign has not been proven?"

The FBI helped the Trump campaign tremendously with Comey's statement about the reopening of the Clinton email case on the eve of the election. A statement made against bureau policy.
