His uniform decorations look like a joke. His wings, jumping once off a 20 foot tower. Give me a break! As a Vietnam Vet, this guy couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag!

I would! Obama used Executive Privilege all the time and this guy Comey is a has been. He's ruined the reputation of the FBI with the Hillary "so called" investigation, which ended before it started. Let Muehler do his job, which is to investigate the Russians, but will end up investigating the corrupt unmasking of the Obama Administration, which Comey was part of.Washington "The Swamp" has been corrupted the past eight years, it will take President Trump his full eight years to cleanup. God Bless President Trump! Good Job on climate change. No need to pay World Welfare for a phony treaty. France and Germany could

pay this welfare with a blink of the eye since they haven't paid their dues for NATO for the past 20 years.

 

You are just repeating what Trump has said.

Which is wrong and a lie.

For example, France and Germany haven't paid their NATO dues in 20 years.

The agreement on NATO dues says that the member states will increase their contributions to 2% of GDP by the year 2025.

If you know what year it is, you will understand what this means.

Trump preys on the uneducated to spin his distorted facts, which they then believe and repeat without actually knowing the real story.

You have just proved it.

This guy reminds me of Kung Canute

Despite the reassurance given, I fail to see how the government can give this gurantee

Dam levels are at 80% and it's only beginning June.

If they release water from the dams to prevent them from overflowing, it's still water that has to flow to the sea right?

Add to this the natural water flow from precipitation into same rivers and we start to reach maximum levels.

If it continues to rain, as it could quite easily, then we are in a flood situation. Unless they have some more storage hidden somewhere, it's all got to go via the rivers to the sea. So basically they are saying they know it won't rain  much into the future. How can they say that? Weather is unpredictable and flooding is a part of life in Thsiland.

Yes I remember when Yingluck was blamed for the floods in 2011

I wonder if the PM will take the rap if we have a repeat of that situation?

"Don't I have any chance to speak up?"

Er.... well yes PM, you do actually, anywhere and at anytime you are guaranteed blanket media coverage on all networks, not to mention your Friday night monologue.

But those pesky people insist on asking awkward questions,

It's just not fair.

After living though  the years when the last 2 elected and corrupt leaders ran Thaiand during their times in power,

  I can see why the General  PM  does  not  want a repeat of  that boughten  form  of  Democracy.

So you missed out on the dozen or so corrupt predecessors I guess?

oh well at least you are secure in your bubble with your rose coloured glasses on

Another BS poll

Du uh er... you don't say?

The main issue is the Thai buddhist population in the southern states are really an occupying population which will never be wholeheartedly accepted by the muslims.

No matter whether they have considered what life would be like under the control of a hardline muslim government or not, they automatically support the resistance against Thai rule due to their religious beliefs. This is drummed into them from childhood. The Thais are on a loser here, and need to cut them adrift before more lives are lost.

For someone who has a family here you seem to care extremely little about the country and it way it is going.

You sound exactly like the people who are destroying the country in the first place: they care about their own privileges and screw the rest of the people. 

As long as you can speed and get out of jail for free for murder why would you be bothered about others?

Steven, have you ever heard the term "rose coloured glasses"

It means that the glasses makes bad things look good.

Were you born with them on, or did you decide at some stage to start wearing them?

The charade continues.....

This house of cards will all come tumbling down eventually

The irony of his congratulating a democratically elected leader's victory is obviously lost on him

Pathetic.  None of these 'army chiefs' has a clue as to how to run a country, only how to ruin it.

Eventually, maybe in 20 or 30 years, the Thai people will achieve a democracy and rid themselves of all these self-serving parasites who now  impose their will on them.

There is no place for a country's armed services to govern it, their role is to protect it from foreign attacks.

They are not trained or educated and have no mandate to govern, they simply do what serves their own interests.

Like buying expensive military equipment and giving themselves pay rises and promotions.

Let's be clear, this is more of the same from this Junta and the families who control it.

An unrelenting drive to maintain their ancient privileges and a total disregard for the peasantry.

One only has to read the history of Thailand to understand their mind set and see why they will never yield to a democratic system of government.

Sakdina continues to live and flourish in the luxury estates of the mega rich and powerful.

sometimes Ezzra, you should just sit looking at the screen and not touch the keyboard

Is there any subject too unimportant, any issue too insignificant that our fearless leader cannot give us the benefit of his wisdom?

Mao, Thaksin and the Lance Armstrong connection. Have you been watching David Icke on youtube?

Being a retired old bugger in this country I have spent the past few years catching up on my reading, I have been particularly interested  in the lives of famous people, politicians and so forth who have been leaders in their fields. These include Mao, Stalin, Amin, Saddam  and so on. In my own personal life I have been targeted by a relative who turned out to be a conman and I lost a lot of money to him. Academically it is interesting to reflect on how he held me in thrall and managed to get me to believe his lies.  In my sporting interests (cycle racing) I have watched over the years the events and behavior surrounding Lance Armstrong. All of these people have social behaviour patterns in common - some on a greater scale than others. Some more damaging than others. The personality disorder - we can call them either sociopaths or psychopaths or both - seem to be the common thread linking all of these people. And to my mind Thaksin fits into this mould exactly, fairly and squarely. That he is less than straight forward is a given. He manages to build and maintain a loyal following and he believes his own lies to such an extent that others believe them too. His protestations of innocence, how he has been unfairly treated, his denial of events over the years that everyone knows are centred around him and so points to a sociopathic disorder. Trump is another example of these types of people and I am watching carefully as he day-by-day reinforces my view of him. These people are dangerous. Mao is one of the best examples of how someone with this disorder can ruin the lives of millions of people. To this day he maintains a devoted following despite the fact that he was an absolute monster in every sense of the word. These people quite often reach a status that does not equal their ability so their behaviour and actions become more alarming as each day passes.

Sorry old chap, I got confused with all that rambling, about Mao and Hitler, so this is all about Thaksin being what? a cruel psychopath who took over by revolution or putsch then proceeded to eliminate his opponents by murdering them and oppressing the populace, doing away with democracy, creating a one party state .............. er are you sure you are not referring to the current regime???

once again all the thaksin/ptp/red shirt apologists/lovers are trying desperately to deny all the facts and evidence against him. Even more evident is the fact they are totally unable to do so apart from calling anyone that doesnt agree with them junta loving yellows, as they say, those who are unable to show any proof/real evidence will always resort to trying to belittle those that can. Thaksins crimes are there for everyone to see as is his families, many of the red shirts/ptp members as well as many of the yellows(especially suthep) but it is easier for them to deny it than try to prove it, by all means show us where he was not guilty of corruption/graft and the setting up of his red shirt terrorists due entirely to him losing face as well as money, the running of the ptp to do his dirty work and try to get him back in the country, they are unable to unless they use dodgy articles he paid to have written. 

yes much better to do away with all personal freedoms seajae and live under the rule of a military junta who can't be criticized and who are above any examination or investigation

One fact that cannot be ignored is that prior to electrical amplification of sound, the call to prayer was only as loud as a human voice could go.

This changed when amplified public address systems were installed in mosques.

The call to prayers is now much louder.

I stay sometimes in a muslim village in Bali and there are four mosques within a kilometer of each other, all quite small but all have very loud speakers. The din when they are all going together is quite unbelievable, I pity the locals, they appear powerless to have it turned down, the imams seem to have total control over how loud they are (and how long the call to prayer is) which goes on some days for up to 40 minutes.

Contrast that with a mosque in Chiang Mai city which has only a man-powered call to prayer which lasts about 3 minutes!
