Watched the first 45 minutes. Good speech but the standing ovations were a bit much.
Amusing to see the Dem crowd sitting there sullenly but nice to see a few of them occasionally join the clapping.
Telling to see the Squad members doing other stuff or chatting especially when Trump was talking about America First stuff. Even you Dems should be somewhat embarrassed about their lack of patriotism/respect.
...yes, watching too and got this impression that most Dems. are dead... "morituri te salutant"

Back home for me there are no warning signs. You just have to stick to the rules everywhere, not only when there are warning signs.
isn't it what people have been calling for? (...stick to the rules everywhere, not only...)
For too long many are complaining about unsafe driving and not following the rules in Thailand - and now what? Only follow when there is no camera?
Just stick to the rules for your own sake and all the others too.

Last week he got the beginning of the end of the EU,
his DC stooge remains in place and his bought-off US Senate delivered handsomely,
and now the primaries are in chaos.
On to New Hampshire, let's see what heaping buckets of excrement he has next for what used to be the world's showpiece of democracy.
A war being won without firing a shot, just like the Republicans would go on about in the Cold War era: turns out they were right, and they themselves are the foils.
As Lenin said "the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we shall hang them."
The Pol Pot regime was brought to an end by Cambodia being invaded by a neighboring country (Vietnam). Canada, I'd like to ask a favor....
As Lenin said "the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we shall hang them."
We know that it didn't work out that way, but it looks like there isn't need for that, because many are working hard on their own destruction ????

Taking reasonable precautions OK, but I still believe there is more chance being killed just crossing Petchcasem Road in Hua Hin ????

This is an edited re-post:
When this became popular I wanted to know more about the 97.1 % consensus amongst scientists. So I, naively, started a Google search: "how many climate scientists are there worldwide" or "number of climate s....." etc.
First page always shows: 97.1 % consensus, climate change etc. and the Wiki list gives you names of climate scientists over the centuries. Not my question. Anyway, I went a little deeper and came across the cook et al study (the study that's officially used) and the categories it's based on. If you want to know what it says exactly, look it up yourself. I make it a bit shorter
Categories:
1. Humanity is responsible for climate change (more than 50% human influence)
2. Humanity is responsible (without quantification)
3. Implies humans as a cause (without stating it)
4. No position/Uncertain (studies only on climate itself)
5. Implies humans have a minimal impact (proposing)
6. Explicit rejection (without quantification)
7. Explicit rejection (humans are less than 50% responsible)
The study was based on 11944 scientific articles. The percentages, numbers and grafics vary somewhat from platform to platform.
Numbers of articles that stated:
Cat.1 64 = 0.54%
Cat.2 922 = 7,72%
Cat.3 2910 = 24.36%
Cat.4 7970 = 66.73%
Cat.5 54 = 0.45%
Cat.6 15 = 0.13%
Cat.7 9 = 0.08%
2 and 3 are overlapping with 5 and 6 and should have been taken out of consideration as they do not say much.
What was taken out is Cat.4 as it tells nothing about human influence. Non voters are not counted.
Now we have 3896 articles out of 3974 that refer to Cat.1-3 and 78 to Cat.5-7. As said before the numbers vary in studies but here you got the 95+ % consensus (could be 97.1 as aggreed on). Is this science or an election?
I think we should do everything possible to save our planet. Best for us
I do certainly not believe in statistics of any kind.
Thank you.
Lots of people will be doing lots of thinking after reading this - and if they don't do (lots of thinking after reading this), they can't be helped.

Trial without allowing witnesses, they now lost the plot completely.
according to PBS witnesses were not relevant to impeachment.
perhaps interesting for what did indeed happen, but not to impeachable process - so in a way just waste of time
this is my understanding anyway

Could well be but it won't be their fault of course as everything is somebody else's fault !
If you dig deep enough, there will always be "explanation" for failure.
I guess this applies to any country and any incapable system (not only Thai)
In case all excuses run out, blame the previous government ????

This is a snapshot from Chinese WeChat. It was posted at the direction of the Chinese Central Government (Chinese Communist Party - CCP) and indicative of their aggressive actions in the last few days to silence scientists, doctors, and journalists who are on the front-lines of this crisis and trying to get the truth out to the public thru social media.
Notice the last paragraph...yikes! The Chinese have what is referred to as the "Rumor Law" that provides a prison sentence for up to 7 years if convicted...and many people are now being arrested on this charge as a result of social media posts that are voicing concerns over how this crisis is being handled by the Central government!
It is why almost no non state-sponsored information has been coming out of China in the last few days! NOT GOOD!!!!
Google translation:
Emergency announcement:
Special times and special measures!
From now on, public security and cyber police will jointly enforce law on all WeChat groups.
All of our groups will start to implement the group | regulations, except for the administrator's unified arrangement to issue official announcements
And information, anyone is not allowed to post any information and pictures related to the epidemic, spread rumors, repost Misinformation.
Hope the volunteers understand and support. We must start with our own group, and resolutely stop the epidemic.
The stability of the people's heart is the biggest measure for the party and the government to put people's lives and health first.
Hold! Except Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, National Health Commission |"Rumors from any channel.
Offenders are transferred to the public security department!
Does world need to trade with this kind of system?
Sure I am not naive to understand "money talk".
It would be tough from the beginning, but not in a long run.
Consequences to let China to continue on present path are dire.
In case you like reading books try this one for better understanding: War with the Newts (Karel Capek)

for the uneducated who think we aren't in an ice age...
At least five major ice ages have occurred throughout Earth's history: the earliest was over 2 billion years ago, and the most recent one began approximately 3 million years ago and continues today (yes, we live in an ice age!). Currently, we are in a warm interglacial that began about 11,000 years ago.
That fact that you in some way think that this negates the scientific facts of man made global warming just shows how little you understand.
according NASA - and somehow I find it difficult to believe that NASA scientists are biased.

Pathetic is right! They are trying to look all hard like they just took down a Hells Angels chapter, just the six of them alone... They should be ashamed.
For 300 baht a day, some low life POS calls immigration. Heartless people! I would be willing to bet 30,000 baht....that the low life that called immigration would not do the same job for 300 baht a day.
...They are trying to look all hard like they just took down a Hells Angels chapter, just the six of them alone...
I like the way it's written.
Good one!

Thailand is a beautiful place to be, but the present system makes it less and less comfortable and less and less friendly
Unfortunately peoples mindset is also changing - and not for better.
What a pity. It used to be my favorite place but now I don't feel welcomed in here the same way it was some years ago - so I spend more time elsewhere.
If you got nothing to hide you got nothing to worry about.
Best you keep your negative thoughts to yourself.
I feel sorry for you glass half empty, pessimistic people, god I'd hate to be you guys.
Seriously suicidal candidates.
Unless we agree that Thailand is absolutely the best place to be, we can exercise our choice and spend our time where it is better.
If somebody thinks that Thailand never changes must be living in a cave and doesn't go out in the real world.
The question is if changes are for better or worse.
The point is : I still enjoy it here, but come only one or two times each year (as opposite three to six times many years ago).
Lucky enough my situation allows me to choose and you are right. I have nothing to worry about so I don't.

What an absolutely pathetic situation, huge team of immigration plonkers, aided by labour department, and protection agencies.
This country is going to the dogs, an older lady being hounded by a large group of men , when all it needed was 1 man, or maybe they were scared she was a martial arts expert.????

Agree that it is "strange" my Thailand has not yet updated their numbers. But since the PM yesterday said everything is under control and they today annonce possible outbreaks, I think they working on the numbers right now. I can not wait to see what numbers they come up with.
I believe new numbers will be released on 7th. Feb

Nonsense. The Chinese ARE shutting down old coal fired power stations and opening high efficiency low emission plants. They are tackling pollution without destroying their economy.

Like PM Morrison in Oz? Waving lumps of coal around in parliament and promoting the values of coal power????
Australia? - small fry. Think of China, India and Bangladesh.
Take those blinker off.
Also if Japan can burn Australian coal practically pollution free, so can and should Ozzies.
Stop feeling guilty, it helps nothing and only makes you to feel miserable.
If you rely want to do something positive, switch your fridge off and start drinking warm beer.
Small step but shows your resolve.
Enjoy. :)

She goes to countries that already espouse her value and have the same idea on how to fight climate change - even the USA has closed 50 coal plants under Trump, yet China continues to open more coal plants, never closes down plants it states that it has closed down, and supposedly because of the large amount of pollution from China, it makes the work that western countries do, null-in-void, so I'm confused how she is so great, other than she is very good at whining/complaining and starting more doomsday wars
Spot on.
Pity there are too many with blinkers on, but may they be forgiven, cose they know not what they are doing.

The health office in Chiang Mai said on Monday (January 27) that the Public Health Ministry had instructed provincial health offices to stop reporting the numbers of suspected and confirmed coronavirus cases and wait for the official announcement from the ministry after China announced a ban of all flight to the province after February 7.
It is so daft that it is unbelievable! But of course it is the best way to hide an outbreak and ensure tourist money is still coming in.
"he best way to hide an outbreak and ensure tourist money is still coming in."
are tourist from China still being "targeted"?

Well said. If Thai authorities invested even half this much time and effort in solving the rest of the country's problems as they do on xenophobic anti-foreigner actions, the country would be thriving and possibly as advanced as Japan.
One wonders where all this strange xenophobia is coming from; my guess is it's a distraction from other, more real world problems like the pollution crisis. For a country that is increasingly dependent on tourism (which contributes 21% of GDP and rising every year as other industries like agriculture and manufacturing start to become less important) one would think the authorities would be as nice as possible to foreigners. If foreigners stop coming (and this includes migrant workers), the Thai economy will collapse overnight. What will they do then? Beg foreigners to come back? Might be too little, too late then.

With impeachment almost over, Trump faces Congress in prime-time speech

...yep, but on the second thought - was it his speach? OR (more possibly) those good-for-nothing Impeachment papers???
