p.s. Putin isn't going to get into a nuclear war over the increasingly unpopular Madura, any more than Kruschev was going to destroy his country just to make Castro happy. But India and Pakistan are about ready to go at it again. That is a much greater threat of nuclear war.

The darling is self-destructing... AOC Chief of Staff Funneled Over $1 Million in PAC Money To Private Firms — Report ‘I’ve never seen a more ambitious operation to circumvent reporting requirements,’ says government watchdog group Two political actions committees founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s Chief of Staff funneled over $1 million into his own private companies, according to reports. The cash transfers came from the PACs Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats, which Saikat Chakrabarti founded, according to a complaint filed to the Federal Election Commission. “It appears Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her associates ran an off-the-books operation to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, thus violating the foundation of all campaign finance laws: transparency,” said Tom Anderson, director of the National Legal and Policy Center’s Government Integrity Project, a government watchdog group. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/ocasio-cortezs-chief-of-staff-ran-1m-slush-fund-by-diverting-campaign-cash-to-his-own-companies

Coconuts needs to keep up with the news. Almost all of the stranded travellers left days ago. Thai began flying to Europe the next day, simply flying around Pakistan. As of yesterday, there were only 200 still stuck at Swampypoom. I wonder if they had video games to play or something to pass the time.

That fucking crap about the "royalist elite" again. I remember some of those "royalist elite" from the protests a few years ago. They included the charwomen from my university, everyone of whom was an Issan farm girl but marched against Takky all the same, plus many taxi drivers and other ordinary people who were disgusted by Thaksin's perceived disrespect to the late King. But group think is the rule these days. Somebody once upon a time came up with "royalist elite", and it was such a cool sounding term that Farang "journalists" latched onto it and use it whenever they can. The fact is the Shinwatras see themselves as "elite" and have rallied such shining lights as Chalerm Yubamrung and his sons to their banner. Understanding Thai politics is so much easier, once you simplify everything to the Shinwatra "proles" (many of whom are very wealthy) versus the "royalist elite" (most of whom are quite poor).

Cav, I have to agree with you on that last comment

If Obummer can get the Nobel prize, anyone can get one!

Congress spends enough time in the bars...

Yes it is aimed at Coss 555

I'm almost 60, but US. So that joke went way over my head...

Indeed 😀 My mum was offered it when I was brewing but she'd had my sister a few years before so knew how to handle the symptoms. Never been one for meds meself either.

He is extremely lucky that other westerner intervened. It just shows the arrogance of this guy - 200 baht!!! Just pay it and move on. Look I know not all Americans are like this, they are usually very generous people, but this guy is giving Americans a very bad name. Jesus Christ!!! Welching on a debt of 200 frigging baht! And then criminally assaulting a staff member. I hope he rots in jail. It will give him a new perspective on life. And he should thank the westerner you stepped in to protect his stupid arse.

When Trump was on the campaign stump he kept hammering to the crowd that the economic numbers were fluffed. That the true unemployment rate (under 6 percent officially at the time) was really about 15 or 20 percent if you count under employed. That the Fed was propping up the economy. That the jobs numbers were very wrong. It resonated because the government and news told you one thing but your life and everything around didn't reflect it. It was the government saying 'Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?'. Trump was absolutely right. We never recovered fully from the 2008 crash. The great jobs before the crash never came back. People were desperate. They were not seeing first hand this economy that was supposedly getting better under Obama. There were thousands and thousands of people who voted for Bernie in the primaries and Trump in the general election. Hillary was seen as part of the problem. There were many Democrats in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania who voted for Trump. They held their nose and did it. They didn't tell their family or friends.They were never going to wear MAGA hats. I live outside the country. I wonder if things have really changed for the good. Trump is touting the very same stats used in the prior administration that he called fake. The murmurs I've heard from the ones who voted for him out of desperation and it was really a no pro establishment Hillary rather than a pro Trump vote. I have a good friend who fancies himself a very good amateur political scientist. He thinks the Democratic voters who took a chance on Trump now regret it. They would vote for him over Hillary again but if the Dems can field someone who can address their economic situation they'll gladly give him or her the vote. Then he says there are the hardcore Trump voters who aren't doing much better if at all from the Obama years BUT they feel better about themselves and live vicariously through Trump. They will vote for him again because they have lied to themselves. They won't vote for Bernie they will vote strictly identity politics. There are many, many people like those in the article below in California who have not seen anything improve one iota and in some cases worse.

No one with an IQ of over 20 believes these two are the killers. This just demonstrates the power of the feudal lords who control that area.

Hi, What a cunt! Sanuk!

For those suffering from TDS...fake news exposed....again!!!

Some fashion guy 😊

Those suffering from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) think that President Trump is the first to declare a National Emergency.... The cure for TDS will be in 2020 when we will have four more years of President Trump working for the USA citizens!

Bernie Sanders announces. At the end of the orange tunnel, strewn with McDonald's wrappers, a glimmer of hope

There is something uniquely entertaining in watching 2 Falangs brawling over a Thai girl who has kept her options open and made up a story about 1 of them to protect her own back. Better still is when everyone's mates get involved and gang warfare erupts.

No doubt so much of that sort of childish playground tormenting was done without any thought or consideration, like you said, really mean. It's interesting that people use language without any real thought for where it comes from, its origin and background. Pussy is a good one. Hands up all those who simply view calling someone a pussy as referencing them to female genitalia when in fact the word is Pusi and is a simple shortening of the word pusillanimous. It's really okay to call someone pusi if they fit the meaning.
