We believe it. He is a despot and a near dictator. He is amassing incredible sums of wealth, and cares not for his people one iota. It is all about wealth, power, and protecting the elite. He has ceased to serve his function to society long ago.

Get out. Get out now. You are not wanted. You are not liked. You are not popular. You are nearly useless. You are incompetent. Get out. Leave now.

Keep this crime lord locked up as long as possible. He is an absolute menace to society. The number of laws he broke are astounding. And those are just the ones we know of. He has zero respect for the law, his nation, or his honor. He is a fool and a pussy. 

Liam is an incredibly minor figure within the history of music, and will be forgotten in 20 years. Queen will live on. Though I was not a fan of their music, I can acknowledge their popularity and contribution. Oasis? Lightweight elevator music. He is a blowhard. What he says means very little, as he is such a non factor in the world of music. He is less of a factor than Paul Simon. Less than Brittany Spears. Almost a caricature, like Justin Bieber.

Forgetting how much they illegally contribute why are you defending illegality?  I find that very odd, do you support foreigners in Thailand working illegally too?  or do you have double standards?

It is amusing to me, that those that cry out about the illegality of illegal immigration, neither support, nor are even willing to discuss reform of the current immigration system. It is completely broken, and has been for decades. Illegal immigrants have absolutely no path towards legal immigration. Educate yourself on the issue. It is a fascinating one, and one that the clown in chief has no interest in discussing, nor reforming. He actually discouraged his party from attempting to reform immigration just this past week. He represents the height of lunacy and dysfunction. 

I think the law is not an entity unto itself, nor should it be. Over the centuries the law has been used to defend hundreds of travesties and crimes against humanity. I am not a bleeding heart liberal. But, I do acknowledge how much illegal immigrants bring to the table, in terms of their net benefit to the US economy. And like Thailand, the country would cease to function without immigrant labor. 

I have no problem with illegal immigrants in Thailand. None whatsoever. They bring alot to the table. If they can escape the oppression of the immigration system, power to them.

But what about the immense strain on social services and money spent on welfare for these law breakers? The Congressional Budget Office in 2007 answered this question in the following manner: “Over the past two decades, most efforts to estimate the fiscal impact of immigration in the United States have concluded that, in aggregate and over the long term, tax revenues of all types generated by immigrants—both legal and unauthorized—exceed the cost of the services they use.”  According to the New York Times, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration claims that undocumented workers have contributed close to 10% ($300 billion) of the Social Security Trust Fund.

I agree with Trump, actions like this are divisive.

That would be a hysterically funny statement, it is were not coming from someone wearing blinders. Do you have any sense of how divisive your "boy" has been to America and the world? Perhaps the most hateful and divisive president, ever to occupy that office. And like a typical supporter, the blame always goes elsewhere. Because you boy cannot take responsibility for anything he does or says, his "devotees" have to display the same degree of ignorance? Come on. You can do better than that. Show some common sense. Put some thought into the insightful 9 word responses you make. 

And why not vilify and demonize Trump? It not only is fun, but it is the correct thing to do. In a democracy, when people really screw up, and this man does over and over again, they deserve our wrath. The wrath of the American people is just starting to show, with people like Nielsen, and Sanders being heckled out of restaurants. Good on those people. We need to see far more of that. And we need to see people calling out the huckster more often. He deserves that. He has earned it with his hatred, division, racist diatribes, support of dictators, alienation of our closest allies, and destruction of our economy. His supporters like to cite the macro economic numbers. Well, unless you are in real estate, or playing the stock market, or in the top 7% of Americans, you are hurting right now. Prices are skyrocketing, despite the fake inflation news from the very white house, and wages are stagnant. Consumer confidence is very, very low. Do not believe the hype. That is all it is. Nothing behind it. 

Waters is completely correct to encourage the majority, who oppose this creepy charlatan, to show their disapproval of his administration. Out them in public. This is what a democracy is made of. Trump is attempting to erase American democracy from the face of the earth. Start with the media. Then the opposition. Let us make those who work for tiny don feel exactly how captain chaos makes his opponents feel. Call them out. Every chance we get. We are going to start seeing alot more of this, as opposition to this hucksters plans continue to grow. And it is a good thing, though his supporters will attempt to demonize the movement, and will probably call these people traitors and not patriotic, when the exact opposite is true. Those that call out Trump, and his administration, are defending democracy.

I ask all liberals:  How many immigrants should be allowed into the USA? Should they be admitted through a legal process or if they cross the boarder are the home free. Fair question, looking for a honest answer.  Please give me a number.

They will never see a penny of that money. They are a net benefit to the US economy. What is your issue? Are you pining away for the days when the white man was a majority in America? The good old days? Or are you simply watching Fox news too much?  

Trump gave Kim everything, and got a little bit of hot air in exchange. Kim walked away from the table saying to his aides, why on earth do they call that guy a good negotiator? He brought nothing to the table. He is the true definition of a chump. I flattered him a bit, and he became my best friend! Such a simpleton. 

The art of not being able to make a deal to save his life. The art of being an absolutely horrible negotiator. The art of coddling dictators and despots, while shunning helpful, friendly allies, and our closest friends. The art of not being able to lead a nation, and the art of never, ever being able to make America great again. The art of making America less relevant, by the day.

Son (may i call you son? cause i'm a real troll), education is not the number of years you studied or 

the degrees you hold. education is something else.

look at donald trump. he never read books and his wife was a nude model and they

get alone just fine.

I know some well educated foreigners who married not so educated thai woman and  are

still happy after all those years, but what's common to all the success stories is that

they were focused around their work and business, and not

each other.

To put It in other words, the more time you will spend with your thai partner, the less chance

you have to survive together. and the more time you / she will spend in work, and work you like - the better

your relationships will be.

 

ohh and one more thing - make sure your woman is a real woman, or in other words, not a ladyboy.

Please, do not call me son. Nobody calls me son. My father used to, and he was entitled. But you? No way. Not for a nanosecond. I do look at Trump. What I see is a woman who would not be with that man for a minute, if he did not offer her wealth and status. She despises being first lady. It is obvious by the way she looks at him, and her body language, that they are never, ever intimate, and that she despises him, and has no respect for him. Why would she?

Easy for everyone to hide behind the PC cloak roll their eyes to the sky and be merciful and pious like, the question that should be asked is how many more illegal migrants can the US take in before the social system collapses and true american will be left without jobs or social security care because the government and the system are overloaded taking care of millions of undocumented aliens mostly with young children? and when will it all stops? anyone with a coherent answer here or everyone is busy vilifying and demonising Trump?...

Absolute uneducated nonsense. Countless studies have shown illegal immigrants to be a net benefit to the US economy. They pay taxes and most pay SS, with the use of fake SS cards. They will never see one penny of that money. All of that money is going to the state and the feds. Most do not have use of the medical system, as most do not quality. Sure, some end up in county hospitals. Contrary to what the deflector in chief has to say about this matter, the facts speak differently, which is ALWAYS the case with anything that comes out of the mouth of Trump. The bottom line is that the average American does not want most of the jobs that illegal immigrants are willing to take. Work in slaughterhouses, cleaning, gardening, picking fruit, most agricultural labor, washing dishes, etc. Very few healthy white men would take those jobs. Most are too lazy to work for $8.50 an hour.

The bottom line is this. Despite what the racist supporters of Tiny D. say, want to believe, or profess, the people of color and ethnicity are the best part of America. When I travel back here, which is often, the most friendly, interesting, warm, kind, and humorous people I meet are inevitably either Latino, or Black. They bring alot to the table. And as sorry as this sounds, most white people in the US bring very, very little to the table, when it comes to interaction or social worth. Alot are truly empty vessels. They work, eat and sleep. And there are far more white people collecting benefits and refusing to work, than his devotees would have us believe.  

And why not vilify and demonize Trump? It not only is fun, but it is the correct thing to do. In a democracy, when people really screw up, and this man does over and over again, they deserve our wrath.

Do not believe the hype. That is all it is. Nothing behind it. 

The future success of the US, depends on the country’s ability to attract the best and brightest. Over half of U.S. startups now worth $1 billion or more were founded by immigrants. Forty percent of Fortune 500 companies were started by immigrants or their children. And all six of America’s 2016 Nobel Prize winners in science and economics were immigrants. The problem is the immigration system is completely broken, and due to an antiquated quota system, the US can no longer offer visas to the top candidates. It is called the dumbing down of America. Something that Trump does not touch upon. He is too afraid to discuss it. No solutions. He bitches and moans, but offers no solutions. Closing the border is not a solution. It is like putting a band aid on a massive cut. 

According to the Pew Research Hispanic Trends Project, there were 8.4 million unauthorized immigrants employed in the U.S.; representing 5.2 percent of the U.S. labor force (an increase from 3.8 percent in 2000). Their importance was highlighted in a report by Texas Comptroller Susan Combs that stated, “Without the undocumented population, Texas’ work force would decrease by 6.3 percent” and Texas’ gross state product would decrease by 2.1 percent.  Furthermore, certain segments of the U.S. economy, like agriculture, are entirely dependent upon illegal immigrants. From the perspective of National Milk Producers Federation in 2009, retail milk prices would increase by 61 percent if its immigrant labor force were to be eliminated.

Mussolini said the same thing, and so did Franco. Hitler was quoted as saying the judicial process was irrelevant. Mark my words. If this loser is allowed to continue, we will see the erosion of democracy, and the eventual institution of either fascism, or a totalitarian republic. Trump despises democracy, and the checks and balances on his power it brings. Why should a judge have the right to question him? 

The process of crafting this fascist society was called Gleichschaltung, which translates as ‘moulding into shape’ or ‘forced co-ordination’. While many Nazi policies were part of Gleichschaltung, law and order policies were particularly important. Hitler was well aware most Germans had not voted for him or the NSDAP before 1933. He wanted strict laws to prohibit political opposition, to deal with dissidents and ‘underground’ resistance.

A truly horrifying video. I am not sure if the Vios had time to stop. I see this kind of moronic behavior all the time. Usually I look in my rear view mirror and see nobody behind me. Which means if he had waited two more seconds, he could have made the maneuver safely. Always astonishing when I see that.

I was driving recently in the left lane, on a highway, and put on my signal to turn left. I had not turned to look behind me, as I typically do, to make sure the bike lane was entirely clear, but signaled my intent to turn, as I slowed down. As I turned a motorbike gently tapped the rear of my car, and went down. I think he was not looking or was going too fast. Not sure. Anyway I immediately stopped when I realized someone had hit the car and gone down. Ran back to the highway I had just turned off of, and there was a rather large young teen on the ground making some terrible noises. His brother was on the other bike, and he was hysterical. They knew I was the driver of the car, and not being entirely certain of the circumstances, I waited there until the ambulance, and then the police came. Fortunately I have a good Thai friend who I called up, and she came down to the scene within 10 minutes. Finally the cops showed up. By that time only the brother remained there, and I guess he gave his account of what happened. I waited for the police to talk to me and they did not. Finally my friend approached the cop, and it turned out they did not think I had anything to do with the accident. I told them I did. That he had tapped my car with his bike. I wanted to take responsibility for the kid, in case he was seriously hurt. I was devastated thinking I had caused this harm, even though it did not appear to be my fault. My friend ended up following them to the hospital, and advised me to come down and meet her, after she checked up on him. Fortunately it turned out that the kid was ok, just shook up, and some swelling. He was about a 230 lb, 12 year old without a license, or much driving experience, but he did have the wisdom to be wearing a helmet, which can make all the difference in the world, if you hit your head hard enough on the pavement, which I believe he did. To this day, I am thankful that nothing terrible happened.  

The point of the story is that men take responsibility for their actions, and do not flee the scene of a crime. That is for punk cowards. Half men. A man child without emotional development, and people with no regard or respect for others. Imagine fleeing the scene of a crime where people died due to your negligence? It just boggles the mind to consider. Forget about the penalties. There are none in Thailand, from what I understand, for fleeing the scene of a crime. Not if you are later caught, or turn yourself in. But, the moral and ethical ramifications of harming, of being responsible for a death, or in this case three deaths, and then leaving the scene? Wow. 

The man is earning billions from this franchise he is operating, called Thailandia. Why is anyone surprised when he wears a $200 scarf? Prawit has a $1million of more in watches. They probably all have overseas villas. And bank accounts in multiple countries. Where is all of this naivety coming from? Does anyone for a moment think these guys are not profiting immensely?

It is fairly typical that this tone deaf president, would have a tone deaf wife. The fact is, they could not care less about those that are less fortunate. Not one iota. When Tiny Don say we do not like seeing families separated, it is a bald faced lie. It means nothing to him. Less than zero. All this is right now, is damage control. He is genuinely shocked when he is criticized. It really ruins his day. And Melania is so out of touch, she wears this jacket regardless of the circumstances. Of course, the circus clown makes up this excuse about it being about the media. Clever donnie. Very clever. Except only your "followers" as you described them, believe it. The rest of the world sees it for exactly what it is. Craven disrespect. Inappropriate behavior from a first lady. Blatant mocking of the poor and a total disregard for humanity. That kind of sums up that entire family. 

What, Captain Chaos is creating confusion? Confusion is his brand in trade. That is what he does, with his incoherent policies, and his racist hatred. The talking points coming out of the very white house are nonsense, as usual, and contain no factual information. Only a daily fake narrative. 

The only people who are currently allowed to immigrate to the US (since 9/11) are people of wealth, and substance. Someone from Thailand cannot even get a tourist visa to the US, unless they are married to an American, are lucky enough to be among a tiny allotment of student visas, or have over 20 million baht cash, in the bank here. Otherwise, not happening. I know this for a fact. If you are from Europe, or the first world, no problem. If you are unlucky enough to be from the third world, you are totally unwanted in the US. 

As far as the rest of the debate goes, if you have $1,000,000 US, to invest in a business, or real estate, you can get a visa. In terms of the people coming over illegally, there is presently no means with which they could apply legally, as you suggest. 

Even a top talent, is limited to a minuscule quote system, that has not been revised for decades. The frustrating part of this discussion is that most vocal participants are human parrots, and few are willing to educate themselves about legal immigration, and the total unwillingness of the very white house, congress and the senate, to even debate this issue. Not illegal immigration. Everyone loves to talk about that simple minded issue. The real issue at stake here is legal immigration, and the need to fix a broken and dysfunctional system.

Labeling illegal immigrants as criminals? What nonsense. What quaker based, puritanical, fake BS.
