https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenExplains a LOT: Madness is like a virus - if you hang around mad people long enough you BECOME mad too - so your mother became the 'carrier'. Only solution to this is to make justifiable homicide great again. In the olden days there were no prisons - just workhouses or murder. Press your luck too far and you got killed. Fair enough really, why should society feed, cloth and water these POS? Better to kill just therm or stick them in a workhouse on the off chance if someone strongly believes they can be rehabilitated- though they should be at risk of punishment if anything goes wrong.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:56:13 +0000RigFri, 12 Jun 2026 06:56:04 +0000Are you freaking kidding me? Jeeez. Our conversation is over.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:55:29 +0000Under an umbrella directly neath the event.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:54:57 +0000OilFri, 12 Jun 2026 06:54:53 +0000Thailand doesn't execute prisoners often - three in the past 20 years compared to 609 in the USA for instance. I get that the judicial system is wonky here, so the need for caution. At least 202 death row prisoners were later found innocent, so mistakes do happen.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:54:16 +0000"Sad to se a child's life ended before it had hardly begun." And yet millions of unborn babies lives end before they are born by abortion. This is the real travesty.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:53:40 +0000You have a mobile and have to dial a local number each time, and I do not possess one but there are others like the one mentioned above can us either way a browser or mobileFri, 12 Jun 2026 06:53:35 +0000It really couldn't be more obvious. The most corrupt and incompetent administration in history, and nothing even comes close.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:53:31 +0000China makes everything ! and even if there was the will it would take decades for US/UK/EU to regain the lost industrial base and retrain the skilled workers required..there is also the small matter of cheap reliable energy the antipathy of 'Net zero' and the 'rare earths'Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:53:08 +0000That's a huge part of their campaign funding. Kickbacks on the Graft and Corruption. That's also why they loved USAID. Those NGO's were kicking a lot of it back. Laundered through organizations like ActBlue.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:52:42 +0000You may be right. Two years is an eternity in politics. Between the two, Rubio is getting the better reviews so far. As SofS, he can distance himself from any discussion of economic woes more easily than the VP.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:51:53 +0000I agree with that. But they better replace Starmer with a stronger leader well before that. It worked for Canada's Liberals. It can work for Labour (as long as they don't leave it too late).Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:51:41 +0000You mean like the leftists that were howling with joy at Charlie Kirks death? No. Yes, I would like the exact names of the people who pleaded guilty to taking a firearm inside the Capitol. I have no interest in people that had guns in their car, or in a bag outside somewhere. Yes, armed could mean any number of things, including broomsticks and whatnot, but to be a planned "armed insurrection", I would expect most of the "insurrectionists" to be in possession of a firearm, given they are hoping to overthrow the United States. So how many people was the Biden DOJ able to convict for insurrection?Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:51:40 +0000Rather doubt it if you will get a clear yes or no answer from him.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:51:03 +0000The tattoo he foolishly got while in the military won't stop him winning. The recent domestic violence allegations might. An own goal by the Democrats, as Maine is a vital Senate pick-up. It will be close.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:51:03 +0000So it seems JD is being set up to take the fall. Expect a deep rift to appear between JD and trump, as JD tries to distance himself from trump on the post unpopular issues. He's already disagreed with trump regarding the Epstein files and the Iran war. If the midterms go as badly as the polls predict I wouldn't be surprised if he resigned if he really plans to run in 2028. 'White House’s New Epstein Scapegoat Is Revealed' https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-houses-new-epstein-scapegoat-is-revealed-as-jd-vance-by-michael-wolff "JD Vance has been “thrown in front of the bus” in bombshell leaks about the White House’s emergency meetings over its Epstein docs crisis, Donald Trump’s longtime biographer alleges. A bombshell report in The New York Times revealed the extraordinary lengths White House figures went to in order to protect Trump from the Epstein files fallout, including convening meetings in the Situation Room to quell outrage that had spilled into the ranks of MAGA. Vance, who presided over those meetings last summer, emerged as a central figure in the exposé, which portrayed him as being panicked and wanting to rip the Band-Aid off by releasing the DOJ’s millions of files even if it damaged Trump, a former friend of the pedophile."Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:50:35 +0000What would Philip Larkin have thought about all of this - as he's dead his pension frozen for eternity we'll never know but thanks to the magic of AI we have a good idea... Frozen Pensions The letter comes each April, thin, As though ashamed of what it says. Another year. Another rise For those at home. Not us. Outside, the palms stir in the heat. A gecko clicks behind the wall. The light is bright enough to bleach The memory of Yorkshire rain. Yet still the figures stay the same, Fixed where some minister once left them, Like clocks in shuttered railway rooms Whose stations closed decades ago. Forty years of stamps and slips, The wages docked before they came, All filed away in cabinets No one now remembers. It isn't poverty exactly. Tea still steams. The ceiling fan Turns with its old indifferent grace. The sea is blue enough. It is the principle that nags: That somewhere in Whitehall a hand Has drawn a line across a map And frozen time beyond it. The neighbours die. New neighbours come. The pound shrinks softly in the heat. Each year another little theft Too small to make the papers. Evening settles on the porch. The news begins. The kettle boils. And still the pension waits, unchanged, For a country that moved on.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:50:31 +0000And the gag goes on right under Trump's noze! 🤣 Huge ‘8647’ etched into grass on the National Mall, aerial images show https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/11/politics/8647-grass-national-mallFri, 12 Jun 2026 06:49:41 +0000Not true. The bombs creators were not unified in thinking the bombs failed to save lives.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:49:30 +0000Sounds liks a Thai-ier than Thai Stockholm Syndrome type of POV. I'm not aware of even one other popular expat destination country that requires such a thing. It sounds like something the East German Stasi would have done.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:49:13 +0000Why does it matter as long as everyone knows what it means? People quite often call Patrick Pat for example but everyone know what it means.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:48:30 +0000It means there was a lot of prostitution when he lived there in the 1960s.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:47:09 +0000What would be the purpose of having such a facility? If it did come to nuclear wipe out having a shelter would only prolong you existence in a not very nice way. You couldn't go outside it due to the radioactivity and any foods you had in the shelter would not last forever. Water would be finite so you may extend your life by a few weeks but the end would be extreme and certainly nothing to be desired.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:46:12 +0000Wait... Starmer was born a dude? I may owe they/them an apology.Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:45:56 +0000
