Could Trump's plan fail in a spectacular fashion?
I guess you failed to address the tax cut issue and fake Republican claims that tax cuts pay for themselves because you have no grounds to stand on to refute it. -

DOGE Makes Its Latest Errors Harder to Find
There's another topic running in this forum about CNN falsely correcting an assertion by Trump. Conservative media was all over them about their mistake. What that should tell you, and apparently doesn't, is that right wing media is watching media they consider to be libera,l progressive, or Marxist like hawks or maybe like what big cats waiting to pounce. Now the New York Times has released a vast amount of detailed reports about the falsehoods promulgated by Doge. So far, the right wing media has offered virtually no fact checking challenging these reports. In other words, it's only if you don't live in the real world that you can believe the New York Times could get away with lying about what Musk and Doge are up to without fact-checking pushback from various right-wing media sources. -

Driver Falls Asleep at the Wheel, Crashes into Roadside Stall, Killing One & Injuring One
Pictures from responders. A pickup truck driver who allegedly fell asleep at the wheel crashed into a roadside stall in Udon Thani, leaving one woman dead and another seriously injured. The crash occurred at approximately 13:20 on 12 March near the U-turn at Ban Phasuk, on the outbound lane of Mittraphap Road (Udon Thani–Khon Kaen), in Phasuk Subdistrict, Kumphawapi District. Local police from Kumphawapi Police Station, along with emergency responders from the Prachatham Rescue Unit, rushed to the scene. Authorities found a white Toyota box truck had crashed into a makeshift stall selling khao lam (bamboo sticky rice), completely destroying it. The vehicle had then veered off the road and ended up in a nearby rice field, severely damaged. Two victims, a mother and daughter who ran the stall, were found injured. The mother, identified as Suwanna 48, suffered severe head trauma, multiple fractures, and was unconscious at the scene. Her 19-year-old daughter, Rassamee sustained injuries as well. Both were transported to Kumphawapi Hospital, where Suwanna was later pronounced dead. Police interrogated the driver, Supakit 23, a resident of Mu 13, Mueang Yang Subdistrict, Chamnni District, Buriram. He stated that he was transporting asphalt from Nong Khai to Samut Prakan, accompanied by a passenger. As he approached the U-turn, he reportedly experienced a momentary blackout due to drowsiness, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. The truck then ploughed into the roadside stall, striking both vendors before crashing into the rice field. Both the driver and his passenger suffered minor injuries. Police have charged Supakit with reckless driving causing injury and death and will proceed with legal action. -- 2025-03-14 -

Police Bust 9 Locations in Crackdown on ‘Laughing Gas’ Balloon Trade
Picture courtesy of CPD. Police officers from the Consumer Protection Division (CPD) in collaboration with the Human Trafficking Division (HTD) carried out a series of coordinated raids on 11 to 12 March, targeting the illegal production and sale of nitrous oxide (commonly known as ‘laughing gas’) balloons. The operation followed an extensive investigation into suppliers operating on Khao San Road, in Bangkok. After gathering intelligence on the source of the gas, its storage locations, and the distribution network, including its sale through online platforms, the authorities executed search warrants at nine sites across Bangkok and the surrounding provinces. The raids took place in Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, and several districts in Bangkok, including Chatuchak, Bang Bon, Wattana, Suan Luang, Wang Thong Lang, Sathorn, and Khlong Toei. During the raids, a total of 46,246 items, were seized. This included 40,975 canisters of nitrous oxide gas, 3,698 balloons for filling with the gas, and 1,591 cylinders used for dispensing the gas. Authorities confirmed that these actions violated the Food Act of 1979, which prohibits the sale of products with incorrect labelling, punishable by fines up to 30,000 baht. Additionally, selling nitrous oxide for recreational inhalation without proper authorisation falls under the Narcotic Act of 1970, with penalties including up to five years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to 10,000 baht. Pol. Gen. Prajuab Wongsuk, Deputy Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police, expressed concern over the illegal distribution of nitrous oxide and reiterated the importance of law enforcement’s role in preventing harm to public health. “The National Police are committed to preventing the illegal distribution of dangerous substances like nitrous oxide and e-cigarettes, which remain banned and pose significant health risks,” he said. “This operation is part of an ongoing effort to address such issues and protect the public from harmful substances.” Authorities also raised alarm about the dangers of inhaling nitrous oxide, commonly used in balloons for recreational purposes. Nitrous oxide displaces oxygen in the body, leading to potential brain damage, unconsciousness, and even death if misused. “The substance can cause dizziness, nausea, and loss of motor control, which could lead to injuries or fatalities,” warned Suphawadee Teerawatsakul, director of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). She advised the public, particularly tourists visiting entertainment areas, to avoid using laughing gas due to its severe effects on the brain and nervous system. The CPD is continuing its investigation into the source and distribution of the seized nitrous oxide. Officials are focusing on preventing further illegal sales and are monitoring online platforms where the substance may still be offered for sale. The police have also urged citizens to report any illegal distribution or suspicious activity involving nitrous oxide or other harmful substances. The crackdown follows previous successful operations against the illegal sale of laughing gas and vaping products, with authorities reiterating that the public should stay informed about the risks associated with recreational substance misuse. -- 2025-03-14
