It does seem that posters feel the need to jump onto any bandwagon that might be directed at immigrants.  Let's just wait until everything is made clear including, just maybe, the ethnicity of the victim.

There were plenty of people there that did nothing, which is pretty pathetic as well.

Let's hope Trump's son-in-law doesn't get caught screwing the maid or all bets will be off with Israel!

The only way that the Trumpsters will "get it" is when it actually happens and they experience the fallout for themselves.  Until then the blinkers will stay firmly in place.  The anti Trumpsters are just as stubborn so I guess we can't criticise too much either. 

As they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating and that will come soon enough.

Well it's panto season and this fits in very nicely "The Russians are the baddies! Oh no they aren't! Oh yes they are!  Come on children everyone join in!"

Certainly going to be an "interesting" 2017. 

Maybe she wasn't polite and certainly Thai men won't accept losing face to anyone especially a woman.  So just punch them, Thainess at it's very best.

Songlaw I believe you speak for many people from all over the world.  It is very worrying but I fear there is little anyone can do.  It's time for clenching the buttocks and keeping your head down and hoping for a miracle!

Well, that's not good.

 

But which is the greater evil, the Russians spying on us or our own government hiding the truth from us?

(I can tell you what history says)

 

I did like Clapper though, when asked about massive attacks on the US in the last few years

he seem unconcerned saying, "Well, we're pretty good at these things ourselves".

 

The government hiding the truth from you?  Well you would be hard pushed to find any government in the world that doesn't lie to their people.  To expect the truth from politicians is a big stretch, especially in the days of spin.  I guess one of the biggest well known examples of this was Bush and Blair over Iraq.  Politics is a dirty business and will continue to be so.

So sorry, not a Trump fan.

 

But I so dislike being lied to, and it been constant from all sides for too long.

Now I am in total agreement with that!

Don't think the Russian Angle will make any difference to Trump's position at all.  Putin is playing him but he can't see it and probably never will.

Would a review have been ordered if Hillary had won?

As I said the review goes back to 2008 so yes it would have.  It has been called by Obama to expose the Russians hacking which is much bigger than just Hillary's emails.  It is a serious security breach and is rightly being investigated.

Trump is running this process like his game show. With the voice over coming in the form of the Donald tweets.  It would be funny but....

Just saw the same, according to the Washington Post (the Washington Post?) an ultra top secret CIA study that cannot be released to anyone just concluded that the Russian's did some hacking during the election cycle.

 

Never mind Obama oversaw the theft of the entire Federal workforce's personnel information, 21.5 million federal employees, applicants, contractors and their families, (2015, twice) and did not even notify them for months. Funny, WaPost did not know. 

And here come the defenders.  let's try and spin it to something against Obama.  Can't hear a word against their boy Trump.

Just came across on Channel News Asia that the CIA has proved that Russia interfered in the election process. I guess the story will end there. 

Yes it's been confirmed in the UK as well.  No surprise though.

No so. This can happen anywhere

Of course it can happen anywhere but this is about Thailand and they have more than their fair share of rapes.  In Thailand women do not (yet) have equal rights and only a small voice compared to the men.  In the west these things are seen very differently to in S.E.A. where men rule the roost  

I think Rudi feels let down.  I am sure Trump promised him the world but when it came to it just gave him the runaround.

"Sorry Rudi, when I said I wouldn't come in your mouth..."

The investigation is looking at Russian hacking going back as far as 2008 so it is not specifically about the election, however that is obviously the focus.  Given the choice obviously Putin would sooner have a fool as POTUS then someone switched on and savvy.  No brainer then that he helps Trump.

Many tourists read and believe the hype about "smiling, friendly, peace loving people".  On the surface that can be the case and there are plenty of good Thai people that live that way.  However the underbelly is another story altogether.

Many years ago, I traveled often to Boston for work.  There is/was a seedy section of town where the guys would go from time to time.  Fun bars, cheap booze, etc.  It was always a rule...only drink beer and watch them open it.  Never ever order a cocktail.

Yes that will probably be the War Zone as it was known in the eighties.

In Thailand any drugs are very easily available and there is lots of information on how to use them available on the web.  Just a different spin on rape which the Thai's seem to be very fond of.

Islam has been responsible for over 250 million deaths in 1400 years, it's terrorism is worldwide and active.

All religions have been responsible for millions of deaths.  Why cherry pick?    If we were all held accountable then we would all be squirming in our seats. Blame where blame is due but it never involves a whole religion. Just the extremists. It's not that hard to work out

Why? How old and infirm is his mother?

 

Clearly young enough to give birth and judging by the pictures of her, pretty fit as well.

Bit selfish, not really thinking about the kid is he, kid will be an orphan before finishing School

What? Why would the kid be an orphan, his dad may have passed away by then but being Jagger's  child they wil have a very privileged lifestyle.  Just like his other children.

Jagger has always been famous for having a rather modest pen*s.  I wonder if this fuels the need to keep showing the world everything works fine!  Good for him!

This was a tourist who was raped but rape is a terrible crime whoever is the victim.  Maybe if the police put as much effort into catching those responsible for the rape of local women, girls and boys then it may help us all to give them more credit.

A real American hero and a good and decent man. RIP

Should read unprecedented Islamic terror threat to UK

I think under these circumstances it should read Islamic terrorist threat to the UK.  No doubt that this is Islamic terrorist related but Islam is a religion and as such is not a threat.  Just like when there were Irish Catholic terrorists.

It is just more of Trump sending out mixed signals.  Nothing will become clear until January and he gets to steer the boat
