There is no doubt these are some of the most corrupt, morally challenged, ethically bankrupt, and money grubbing lowlifes in the country. However, the PM is in the same boat. Her party was not the people's choice and she has done little, and likely taken much. They are all most unimpressive.

All you have to do is compare Amtrak with China's high speed trains and you have a rather vivid comparison of the lack of infrastructure development in the US, compared to China. There's no doubt that Asia continues to ascend while the US and Europe continue to decline. I don't see that changing anytime soon. Trump is not going to bring manufacturing back to the US, it's way too costly and there's a reason why it shifted overseas to begin with, none of that has changed. If the Goombah is serious about improving things in America the first thing he needs to figure out is how to lower prices in America which are astronomical at this point. My guess is that real inflation is about 22% annually right now. I am in the US and every single one of my staples goes up 10 to 12%, every 6 months. Magnesium ore and other ridiculous commodities that they used to determine inflation, which enable them to continue the lie, has absolutely no bearing on our lives.

For anyone who's paying attention it's quite obvious that America's been on the decline for at least 30 years, and Trump is precipitating that decline dramatically with his completely ridiculous and utterly uninformed tariff policies.

I think he's in been in the state of decline for years now, and at best he's semi senile, at worst he's quite insane. However his supporters seem to be in quite a state of denial. I refuse to put on winter tires because: • It’s my car, my choice, my freedom. • The effectiveness of winter tires is not proven, except by studies carried out by the manufacturers (like I’m supposed to trust them). • My neighbor Bob had an accident even after putting on winter tires. • Some drivers are already on their 3rd set of tires, which proves their ineffectiveness. • We do not know what the tires are made of. • The tire manufacturers scare us with winter just to enrich themselves. • In fact, I read on the internet that the tire giants invented snow and spread it at night when you sleep. • If I have winter tires, the government can track me in the snow. Educate yourself, open your eyes, stop being sheep! This year, I say no to winter tires!

Trump is overextending his reach by such a spectacular margin that it boggles the mind, he just thinks something, and says it, as if words do not have power, as if words do not have consequences. As the president you're supposed to have some semblance of responsibility for that what you say, but this totally unhinged maniac, this absolutely insane super freak has no concept of the power of his words and the consequences that they have. Just like with manufacturing there are a dozen good reasons why filmmakers are filming overseas, so if he was really serious about taking action he would figure out a way to bring prices down in the US. This constant obsessive talk about tariffs, tariffs, tariffs, how incredibly boring and unimaginative.

Well I give a lot of credit to the restaurant owner for refusing to give in to morally degrading practices, but I would go a step further and see if I could personally figure out ways to teach the freak to behave himself.

This is probably the greatest failure in the history of highway construction anywhere in the world in the last century. Thailand has been given an F grade, and what is happening on Rama II is an absolute abomination. Everyone should be fired, all heads should roll, and the executives of the contractor, as well as the top ranking people in the transportation department should be locked up as soon as possible.

I would love to see them shoot down as many Burmese Air Force jets as possible, and utterly punish that sadistic and twisted, and completely morally bankrupt army of theirs.

Who are these people, and why are they so intellectually deficient and utterly mindless?

The shoes were not really a big deal, this is not what I would call a cultural taboo. I've been in so many places where the floor was absolutely filthy and when I'm asked to remove my shoes I simply say no problem, after you mop the floor! They then just give me this funny look. This is more about her silly level of nationalism, and her insults to the locals. That is disturbing.

Talk about a bad day in Bangkok, you have to be somewhat moronic to try to do some trafficking into Thailand. These guys are in some deep doo doo, and I suspect that it's going to haunt them for many decades to come. They're going to have a lot of time to reflect on their actions. Yikes. Money is alluring, but prison time?

Finally we agree on something. Miracles happen.

Putin is a human plague, who seems to get real enjoyment from committing genocide and murdering woman and children. It takes a certain level of vermin to do what he does. He is a thief, a dictator, and a thug. A pox on his house.

It demonstrates a horrific level of disrespect for the public and a tremendous level of low self esteem. Many times it is due to dirty oil in a diesel vehicle. The perpetrators would rather spend 300 baht on durian than change their oil. Zero consciousness. Sad and dispicable behavior. And another reason why diesel vehicles should be banned. They don't belong in the 21st century.

Having a silly social media channel does not insure that the drama bring played out is real, nor sincere. And things change. Everything changes.

Trump's leadership continues to threaten the stability of the world economy. He is a hazard, is highly unstable, and is one of the most dangerous people in the world. One thing is certain. He is accomplishing very little, he will NOT bring manufacturing back to America, which is stupid over priced (I am here now and inflation is raging at 20% or higher right now), he is causing alot of pain, he is losing support, destroying businesses, and consumer confidence, he does not have a coherent plan, and he is a destructive nimwit.

This is a major crime. It could have cost the establishment up to 100 baht. This could be a crippling blow to the owners. National news, for sure.

Thailand suffers from an impossible level of smugness and arrogance, and a persistent belief that they are truly the center of the universe and the best thing in the world. They don't have a clue. Sometimes it feels like the fact that the nation was never colonized was a leading factor in this hubris and inability to see the world for what it is. The severe inability to adapt, improve, and reform, has hurt their prospects. Thailand is no longer attracting very many Western tourists for a dozen very good reasons. Right now it is predominantly Malaysian, Indian, Arab, some Chinese, and Russian. One could argue that these are relatively low quality tourists, in terms of the amounts of money that they spend. Sure you have a few wealthy Russians and some wealthy Chinese, but most are lower to middle income and don't spend alot. It's all good. Far less tourism would make Thailand far more comfortable for the tourists who come, and for the expats, and would likely lead to better attitudes amongst people in tourism. They simply would need to be creative in figuring out ways to make up for the lost billions in revenue.

She needs to either bow out or be pushed out, she is of no use to the Democratic party, she's failed at nearly everything she's done, and I say that as a Centrist Democrat. The party should stay as far away from her as possible, they need real talent not just someone who represents different sorts of people. I sure wish I would see some Republicans speaking out like this, about their horrific leaders, and their terrible policy decisions, and showing some moral courage and independence.

During the first Trump term, I would sometimes have to catch myself because even though I thought and think that Trump is uniquely despicable and dangerous, the fact remains that if you just want to look at the number of lives lost and global damage done, George W. Bush really outstripped him. Trump is maybe a worse person, but the damage that he did in his first term was much more contained. I think that in the second Trump term he’s changed that very quickly. Not just by taking America’s soft power and setting it on fire in all sorts of ways, but really making these abrupt decisions that are going to kill children with his USAID recklessness, and he’s doing it in this incredibly arbitrary, careless way. Trump is destroying the US economy one step at a time. It could be intentional. It could be diabolical. Nobody knows. He could simply be unhinged or following the dictates of a very sinister cabal. One thing is certain. He is accomplishing very little, he will NOT bring manufacturing back to America, which is stupid over priced (I am here now and inflation is raging at 20% or higher right now), he is causing alot of pain, he is losing support, destroying businesses, and consumer confidence, he does not have a coherent plan, and he is a destructive nimwit.

Funny post. Thanks for that. It is more likely the deep state controls Trump, and has a very, very sinister agenda. America is nearly finished. It is becoming less relevant by the month, and that has been happening for 30 years. The goon is only precipitating the decline.

Such an idiot. The bottom line is that there is never any upside to engaging a Thai person, much less a group of them, in a fight. If you kick their ass, you lose. If they kick your ass, you lose. No upside to that formula. Best to just keep your cool, show respect, and avoid fights in public. Remember, this is a land of face. Even something as benign as a street race, can mean they end up losing face. Which for well developed, normal people is not a big deal. But for seriously immature men, or boys, it is. What a goon.

My guess would be that this guy just rushed in to something without qualifying her sufficiently. Most men, in the US, Europe, and Oz, are no longer real men, when it comes to dealing with their women. Their women have made their lives so difficult, and alot of women have gotten so far away from their innate femininity, and have become dominant, and super controlling, and men just go along with it. Most men have become so hungry for love, or emotionally desperate for some kindness, and TLC. And most are so desirous of being around a real woman, who knows how to act like a woman, and manifest the dignity, within femininity. So, it is easy for con artists, to take advantage of emotionally wounded men, who seem to be willing to do anything to regain a semblance of normality in their lives, with a decent woman. So always take your time, if it's good it's only going to get better, if it's bad the problems are going to start revealing themselves within a year or two. Never rush into anything, and if she pushes the timetable just push back, and if that doesn't work just walk.

Very disrespectful behavior. Just no reason for this kind of ugliness. Let's all remember that name Alexander William. What a creep.

Finally the Armed Forces get to do something productive here? Absolutely amazing, not to mention good training.
