Because you acknowledged that assuming Trump is guilty and calling for him to be locked up at this stage is inappropriate (someone on this forum called for him to be locked up for life, and no I'm not going to spend time looking for the quote). But you couldn't resist the "what about when it happened to someone else" addendum. A simple acknowledgement that due process is required before he can be assumed guilty would have sufficed.

I said narrative, with the quote in inverted commas. Saying there is a narrative does not suggest anyone made that quote word for word (although they may well have done, I can't be bothered to check 31 pages as I have other things to do today). It means that is the general narrative, for example, many people have suggested the FBI wouldn't have raided unless they had a very good reason to do so (not sure if that was on this thread or the other one, you can check for me if you like).

Agreed. Both were a disgrace. However, this thread is about Trump so whatabouterry isn't really on topic.

Absolutely right. It would seem a large proportion of the people on this thread would do well to bear this in mind. The whole "they wouldn't have raided him unless he was guilty" narrative is most unbecoming.

Good to see Australia's descent into an authoritarian police state continuing. Banning certain clothes being worn? Very Orwellian but in keeping with the direction of the country. Aside from the infringement on civil liberties, I'd have thought allowing these idiots to wear their patches was an easy way to identify them. A bit like having 'nobhed' tattooed on your forehead. I remember 5 of them walking into a bar in Chiang Mai like they had a hedgehog under each armpit. Ordering JD, trying to look menacing but looking more like a reject from Village People. Walking cliches, every one of them. It's weird that they would choose a world class family friendly resort like Pattaya to wage their gang wars though. ????

Anything is possible in Thailand, but I really hope Thailand can get someone with a bit more integrity than this guy. Prayut has done enough damage, Thailand needs to move forward now.
