Underestimate Biden at your peril.

Obviously never bothered to inform yourself about how Russia fomented armed separatist movements in Eastern Ukraine after they illegally stole Crimea.

I don't know about Costa Rica but I don't think Mexican law has much changed about foreign ownership. Foreigners can own all over the country exactly the same as Mexicans EXCEPT within set distance to the ocean and also borders. For the exceptions, yes legal games need to be played and I suppose those arrangements are more risky.

If it's open primary, I'm not even sure Harris will run. She'd have no chance. Newsom of course would run and I think a number of other interesting choices as well.

Political office is not like corporate staffing. Anyway it's possible that Biden is just bluffing running in order not to be a premature lame duck. We'll know soon enough.

But the magas will always filter out facts that don't support their world view.

For option A Uncle Joe mostly just needs to perform as the president. You're forgetting that's very different than last time. Most of his travel can be office related. No need to Trump / Mussolini type rallies. Biden is not a cult like Trump No need to copy that hot mess of ugly chaos.

The bank method is 800k not one million.

You don't.

Not particularly.

Yes of course but I think Trump has visions of a Trump family DYNASTY as well. Keep in mind his core maga base actually WORSHIPS the man as a demigod and that's quite North Korean.

It was a TROLL question and you know it. I try to not waste my time talking to members who have shown a pattern of being disingenuous, so thus I take my leave from further communication.

I will not be discussing that section with you or anyone else, as per the laws of Kingdom of Thailand. I'm an expat. This isn't my fight. I'm just watching.

Like winning the powerball lottery is possible. Realistically, it is not.

Given the structure of the Thai constitution, I think its IMPOSSIBLE for any candidate to win enough seats without the need for the senators. You would prefer? Again, as I explained, that doesn't mean he would have won, and then he would have been soiled, and his young base would not have been impressed with that.

Why didn't Pita compromise? Obviously I don't know, but I have an idea. If he had, he likely still wouldn't become PM, and even if he did, it would be a hollow win to have betrayed his voters, just another corrupt politician who doesn't stick to any core principles. But going down "pure" as he's a young man, perhaps he's playing the long game. A martyr as it were for Thai democracy. No guarantee such a gamble will even bear fruit, but at least he can look himself in the mirror without barfing.

How predictable.

Maga dominates that party. Trump did a hostile takeover.

Guess it's two strikes you're out. I don't necessary approve of everything Pita represents, but the main thing he represents, that the people's votes in Thailand should actually matter is being (predictably) crushed. I really feel sad for the younger people of Thailand that thought there was still hope.

So the fascist maga republican party is the victim, eh?

Absolutely and it's not hard to find it. Even Russians with a VPN can find it if they want to find it.

I have no idea what you're talking about. There is plenty of news. We know for a fact that things have been slow for Ukraine and that they under political pressue even though the west hasn't supplied them well enough to get more dramatic results with the fear being the west will lose it's resolve and Putin's poodle Trump will gain power again and cut them off. I'm really at a loss about what your actual agenda is here, but when you accused me of being a Trumpist, that's a strong indication of extreme insincerity and game playing. If Russia ends of winning and anything is possible, that doesn't mean that the Ukrainians aren't right to resist their genocidal brutality.

Deflection.

The pace may be slow but the republicans are helping immeasurably. I love how she inflects "urban" -- an obvious racist dog whistle.

Oh you mean that weird one sided love affair that elevated the status of Kim with the US getting nothing in return.
