So some rando cabbie is supposed to be prepared to be willing and able to hook a Polish brother up with the complete post murder package. It's so outlandish that I tend to believe it.

There is some hope that the dramatic election results will mean positive change for Thailand in general, but this is about weed only. How are people reading the results in terms of action on weed laws? My initial reaction is that the new government will want to put weed back on the narcotics list (while keeping legal medical use in some sort of regulated way). Many have invested in growing, weed shops, bong factories, big personal supplies of weed, you name it. So if it's going to go this way (recriminilization) what will it be like? Will there be a grace period for the public to adjust? For those that know how government works here, how long will it likely take to recriminilize it? What level of priority will this really be? Months, years, hopefully never? I realize many expats will keep at it if it's made illegal again. But many won't. The lure of the monkey house does not beckon. You may want to comment on that as well.

Likely many more than a few.

Didn't miss it. It wasn't enough to credibly mitigate your admiration. It's like when Trump says Putin is a brilliant man.

Definitely Bolton is no prize himself, but he knows his trump.

Theoretically it could be anti Nazis trolling modern day fascists.

You might. Normal people don't.

What it is is a visa and getting a visa for any country after you've entered the country, passed border immigration, is extraordinary by definition. Yes I am suggesting that the at the discretion of thr officer aspect is more significant with in country visas vs. in country extentions.

Because granting a VISA when you're already in the country the VISA is for is an extraordinary accommodation. It's not as easy or automatic as most people seem to think.

Of course they aren't but better that than a full fascist takeover of America's public schools.

Parents who insist on dictating every small detail of what happens in classrooms either should have never been parents or should do home schooling.

Sadly it's not only Florida. It's a national movement to try to erase LGBT people, drag queens, etc. But yes DeSantis is highly visible as a leader as he's running for president based on such culture wars issues.

My opinion which people can take it or leave it. There is nothing to complain about and nobody to complain to. Why? Conversion to an O visa IN THAILAND is by definition at the officer's discretion. It's pure folly to view this as something to be taken for granted or viewed as having the same predictability as extensions. But yeah I would try an agent.

There are levels. Human endeavors are not realistically about purity or perfection.

So this is her fault and not the fascists?

And that will be allowed to happen? I'm not seeing that.

I'm having a queasy feeling about all this

They would need another new constitution.

The American republican fascists want to erase the existence of LGBT people What's next? Banning non Christian characters,

What's riskier this time? The fascist Republican leader trump is openly advocating default. The weak republican house leader McCarthy made a deal to get his tiny power with the most fascist segment of his party led by the mad woman MTG where he loses power with just one vote. So it's much harder for him to make a deal and not lose power and power is what he cares about not the country.

The debt was created by both parties. Defaulting on the debt dramatically degrades the credibility of the entire country. No decent or credible American should entertain that as a possibility or use it in a thuggish blackmail manner. Not only is the republican party now a fascist party it is actively working to undermine our fragile American democracy.

The fascist Republican party that grew much of the debt is the party threatening the blowup. Their dear leader trump is cheerleading for such a catastrophe. This is about existing debt. Obviously debate and compromises over future budgets is totally normal and legit.

I would see this differently depending on the motivation of the perps. Like if they were Nazis vs just silly adolescent pranksters. I did such a big prank myself in my youth. I stole the contents of a garbage can from the home of the Vice Principal of my high school and published a picture of it along with a full detailed inventory on the front page of the high school newspaper. There were a few juicy items in the list. Stolen garbage exposes of celebrities was trendy at the time so not an original idea. The miracle is that I wasn't expelled ha ha. Technically at least back then taking garbage left out for collection wasn't a crime.

Yes we know. But social security recipients should know their checks will be prioritized. However if the default happens the dollar and stock market will tank and there will be a global impact.

In the majority of US states there are no anti-discrimination laws protecting gay people. In other words people can legally be either not hired or fired just for being gay in most of the US. But gave you a chance to make another tired woke joke so it's not a complete loss.
