Maybe they moved him as they found he was "drunk with power"?

Don't forget zucchini bread!

" There also will be some changes in the way officers work."

 Now if they can just find some who do work..... at least as police officers

Sounds like a smart man to turn him down. Trump will listen to Bannon over any other advisor, and who would want to be "on the team" yet lack influence?

Thought of posting "He's really off the rails now" but after considering for a moment, realized he's never been "on the rails"

Guess if you want a dust up, any excuse will do. Fighting over honor and accessibility of rent a girl friend? Did she complain? Better to fight over football teams....

Drain the Tundra!

Some will never learn. I'm referring to authorities, btw

As we age, sheep just don't seem as attractive anymore.....

Back home in USA (yeah, yeah, back home.... blah blah) this would be known as collusion, an illegal restriction of trade. Anti-competitive at the very least.

"Trump knew for weeks that aide was misleading.."

Aide? AIDE? Head of National Security is hardly an "aide".

Trump is the godfather of lies, so why surprised others follow his lead? "That's my boy!"

The only consistent feature of this administration, call it policy if you will, is Lie, lie and more lies. Trump saying "I haven't seen that" (or heard, or read, etc) hardly lets him off the hook: what do you do, other than tweet about Hamilton or SNL? Hey mook, being president has some real responsibility. It is scary how disconnected from slightest inkling of what job entails he has

" They were both told to get dressed and were interviewed downstairs to determine what was happening.'

 They really do have the "best and brightest" on the force, don't they?

Surprised story didn't say "He faces a stiff fine"

“It’s not for me to tell you what’s in the president’s mind,” Miller said.

Or like Conway more or less said "Don't listen to his words. Listen to his heart" Eh?

Flynn should do a Steve Martin "I forgot. I forgot Russia is not our nearest and dearest ally. And I forgot what I said". (don't ask CIA, as they do know what he said).

 Never seen so many self inflicted crises in such a short time frame. Guess when you combine arrogance, stupidity and incompetence, these things can happen.

Lesson from Singapore: Come down hard on corruption

Lesson from Vietnam: Have Confucian culture that values education highly

Should be easy to implement, or at least form committee to study it, along with a few fact finding tours

My friends in Budapest report dancing in the street, thinking of making it a national holiday over there.

In the West, your lady might adjust your tie (assuming you wore one). Over here they cut your nails. Just a primate grooming to make a bond sort of thing. Don't sweat the small stuff.

 Tones are the killer here. Been here for 16 years, speak passable Thai, yet no one seems to understand when I say "8".... in Thai, natch.

The other 15% couldn't be reached as they were bound and gagged, held in back room while the kids ransacked the house looking for cash to buy yaba with...

I think we can scratch food poisoning off the list of possible causes

I would imagine cultural, political, economic set up of Thailand might make Trump and supporters green with envy

Got shaken down by woman once regarding 90 day check in, she said from last 90 check in although I'd been out of the country which is supposed to restart the meter.

 I would suggest if want to report corruption, might be wise to use a pay phone rather than your personal phone. I wouldn't be paranoid if all these people weren't after me....

I think this may be part of a test by WH to find out just how stupid and gullible Americans can be... "light hearted"? Puh-leeze!

I suggest you read the definition of religion. This is from Oxford dictionary: " The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods." (might throw in supernatural)  " Religion isn't necessarily the belief and worship of a god." well then, if you take that out, how is it different from a Man U fan club? Once more, Buddha did not claim to be a God, a messenger from God or any of that. Again, that some believers still think of Buddha that way and worship him merely shows they do not know Buddhism.  " The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea " Sounds pretty much like an atheist to me. Explain if you disagree please. see whole article here: http://www.buddhanet.net/ans73.htm

Kinda hard to argue with Trump on this one.  It gets old listening to these maniacal dictators issuing empty threats all the time.  Especially they are the ones causing most of the problems.

 Trump's only been in office a few weeks, and his threats have set a record for getting old fast. Amazing

The bottlenecks in Thai manufacturing are around poor management and a daunting bureaucracy interfering with structure of business: laws against foreign ownership, corruption, etc etc. Management often requires multiple signatures to enact what should be very simple actions. Won't accept electronic signatures, piles of worthless paper, and general attitude that everyone in the company is there to steal (may be right, rising to expectations). And always problem of nepotism, lack of skill or knowledge related to job qualifications....
