Election Commissioners Face Removal Over Senatorial Election Fiasco
In a dramatic turn of events, all seven election commissioners could soon be ousted by the Constitutional Court for their alleged mishandling of the senatorial elections held a few months ago. The commissioners are accused of failing to ensure a transparent and fair election process, particularly casting a shadow over the contested election in Songkhla. If the Supreme Court, expected to deliver a ruling shortly, deems the Songkhla election null and void, this could have sweeping consequences. The entire election for the 200 Senate seats nationwide may also be declared invalid. This scenario would necessitate re-elections across all districts and provinces, an informed source disclosed today. The controversial election featured a unique three-tier vote system conducted among contestants rather than through direct constituent voting. Allegations have surfaced that this system was rife with electoral rigging, allegedly manipulated by undisclosed elements tied to Bhumjaithai, the country’s second-largest coalition partner. Many of the senators elected, including Senate Speaker Mongkol Surasajja, are suspected to have operated under the influence of the Bhumjaithai Party. The party, which is significantly influenced by its de facto leader, Newin Chidchob, allegedly played a covert role in affecting the election’s outcome. The potential removal of all seven election commissioners and the possible call for nation-wide re-elections mark an unprecedented chapter in the nation’s democratic processes. The unfolding drama has put the integrity of the electoral system under the microscope, raising critical questions about the transparency and fairness of future elections, reported Thai Newsroom. This situation continues to evolve, with the Thailand Supreme Court’s ruling expected to be the next significant development. TOP Picture courtesy: Thai Rath -- 2024-09-23 -

Are these people stark raving mad?
Might also want to consider he's prepping for 2028 when his daughter will be running against Kamala. Any words regarding his love of country qualifies as pure Wyoming horse manure. The truth about this guy won't be revealed until most of us in this forum will be long gone. And every potential biographer knows better than to take him/his on.- 1

Are these people stark raving mad?
I interpreted that (you mean the TV interview with Dana Bash on Sept. 15, right?) as him griping that he puts a lot of hard work into coming up with these cockamamie stories, and that she should show some respect for that. I developed an appreciation for Bash when, after DT's first debate with Biden in 2020 the first thing out of her mouth when the debate ended was "that was a sh_t show." Oh those Jersey girls! There is another highly ridiculous aspect to this thing about applauding Ivy League graduates. The conservative media will go on into perpetuity about how US universities are incubators for the left, communist, Marxist (enter flavors of the day here), while at the same time lauding their members who have degrees from such institutions (Ted Cruz, Hawley, JD, and lots more) who they brand as scholars and true US conservatives, even as they come out with the dumbest statements to support their current deity. Also in recent years the right-wing has been denouncing education, part of their dumbing-down strategy, and looking at the MAGA numbers it seems to be working. -

Pedestrian Struck on Crossing by Motorbike: Suffers Broken Ribs and Ruptured Spleen
"Or they would have hit the pedestrian." The pedestrian would not have crossed if the car hadn't stopped. Stopping and letting them go has a curious psychological effect where they just drop theirguard down for a few seconds, often distracted by them nodding and thanking you as they did not expect you to stop… and that's when disaster strikes. If nobody stops they just wait until the road is clear. But I agree the underlying issue is awareness-rasising and enforcement, of course. -

Pedestrian Struck on Crossing by Motorbike: Suffers Broken Ribs and Ruptured Spleen
Or they would have hit the pedestrian. If the pedestrian ran across the road he'd have beat the bike !!!... loads of whatifery.. But... the fact remains the bike was gunning it down the road without any consideration for the safety of others. For some reason some people think Thailand is different and it shouldn't have pedestrian crossings as its lures pedestrians into a false sense of security... How about the Police and legal systems doing a proper job and luring drivers / riders into a genuine sense of road safety and consideration ??? (rhetorical)... All of that said - the guy crossing the road had very little regard for his own safety - as others have pointed out, even when crossing, have yer hid in a swivel... It astonishes me that people will cross a road on a crossing or otherwise without taking far greater caution. -

Sleeping hours
It's rich that for a forum frequented by mostly senior expats, where talk about sex is often the result of lost paradise nostalgia or wishful thinking, to cite active sex life as a inducement to good night sleep. My recently eutered male dog gets fat and sleeps soundly than ever before since his operation. -

Getting back from NongKhai to BKK
As I write I’m on a bus to Udon. Red lights are counting down from 116secs. We left the house after packing and putting the bikes safe etc. Got on her sisters Honda Wave 125i and set off for Phonphisai. Normally so far another one of her family is always tagging along because they need to go to town or last time when it was really hot her dad would let her drive the car back cause she kept pranging it. So this time I said it just us. We got to the Yamaha bike shop lights at before 17:00 where we were informed all buses to Udon were finished , Sunday. So i ended up luckily getting a big coach to NongKhai to get a mini bus to udon. It’s cutting it fine but has to do the same last time coz i missed the last bus but that was 1730. The bus from NongKhai turned out to be slow and were crawling down the NK to UD highway and have stopped once already to wait for non existent passengers. Maybe this is the time my luck has finally run out. It’s 18:37 and flight leaves 19:40 so unless we’re closer that I think I’ve got no chance. Gonna have to try and book another late flight now enroute Ok so when the slowest bus from hell/ NK arrives at the PTT station left side and it was 19:00 , flight leaves 19:40 I jump off when it stops to let off one of those girls whose wearing a back pack, you’ve seen them. I call the driver a <deleted> and ask him if he could have gone slower. He didn’t kao Jai and I walked about in a panic looking for anyone who looked like a Moto Taxi, that’s basically anyone with a motorcycle. I walk up a set of noodle stand begging for mercy then ideas. The main noodle woman appears to be summoning a taxi of some sort but after a crucial 7 mins she looks at me like what do you want to eat ? I walk away and challenge two lanky guys just getting on a Yamaha Xmax 300 as to why they couldn’t get me to the Airport for a cool 500baht. “Mee Tulah“ was the response “ busy “ … young people !!! So I walk on and see an old guy. Go to the airport 500baht ? 500 baht ? He replies. 500baht I say. Let’s go he says and we get in Suv. We go through my life story on the ride and he reveals he’s a police man which appeared correct as the security on entry to the airport stop checks saw something on his van that made them step back as he stopped and off we went we pulled up at the departure end off the drop off so couldn’t. Of asked for more. Thanks and 500baht were parted with and I ran in to the Thai lion check in Me: “ big problems “ Them: Doors on Aircraft close already sir, try Air Asia “ And looked away , our beautiful relationship now over as although i had paid the niceness was at an end early as I wasn’t going to the next step, checking in. Next to Thai lion desk is Air Asia. They must be full cos they didn’t come up in the Trip.com App, no one did. “ where you going Sir ? “ . “ Bangkok “ .” 20:30 sir “ I’m on it now and it’s 20:20. I think the moral of the story is to do exactly I did but purchase an expensive fully flexible ticket that you can cancel if you manage to get to the one you booked first. So I arrive at Don Mueang and loiter a bit. Picked up a couple of small bottles LaoKao and a 3 big beers cans from a shop in the aDon Mueang airport and get the shuttle to Swampy. Checked in my bag with the LaoKao and make my way down to the magic Food court on Level 1 and have a couple of beers and some different meals. As I’m a experienced traveller I have another check of my boarding pass for the Gate close time which says 01:15am I look at my phone and see that give me 15mins to get from level 1 to 4 up the elevator thru security check , passport out of Thailand and all the way to gate 4. Made it with 2 minutes to go. What a ฟanker. There should be more time from check in until the gate closes for you to enjoy the airport experience. -
