I bet if California didn't welcome so many illegals with open arms and give them anything they want there would be no problem extending your unemployment benefits. I am sure that brilliant speaker of the house from California would have no problem forking out a few million to help her people. As long as she got to keep about half.

I think you are right, Beavis. Won't all the dumbo rats be pissed when Trump wins again?

You left the foxes in charge of the hen house.

Sorry, but I don't quite understand your analogy. My idea makes it possible to for anyone to become a politician and be judged on their words and actions. It doesn't allow politician to make any money from the outside world and all of the federal politicians as well as the governors of each state and the mayors of each city will be audited every year. The new will be owned by the people and all of its financials and operations will be completely transparent to the people.

Remember the website with the free advertising and crowdfunding, well it also has an impeach button that people can click on and start an impeachment process for any politician as long as the citizens signing the have an address related to the public officials office. Anyone could start an impeachment process against the Chairman, Prime Minister, President of the country. Only the people who have an address in the area where a senator, representative, or local government official are presiding over can sign their impeachments. Once impeached the candidate with the second most votes will take the impeached official's place within 7 days.

This system should be implemented in every country around the world to end government and news media corruption forever.

The news used to be held accountable to tell the truth and face major consequences if they didn't. Now there are different versions of the truth. The fact that fake news can exist should make you lose all faith in the news. Politicians have no reason to be good, no incentive, especially in their last term. If you look a little closer you will see that even good men and women who become politicians are not in control of their own agendas. They are controlled by their political parties or the people who have given them money.

The solution is so simple!

First, eliminate all political parties and let politicians fend for themselves as individuals. Next, eliminate all campaign contributions and any politician accepting any money from any source outside of the Government will be charged with treason. Finally the government will provide free advertising distributed in equal proportion on a television channel running only political ads 24 hours a day and also offer the same service on all social media platforms and a website.

Another political thread. This time along with War History. My second least favorite topic. What a complete waste of my time!

Let's just make this a war thread. Who will nuke the World first? Trump, Kim Jun Ong or whatever his name is, Bruce Lee, Charlie Chaplin, Charlie's Angels, Dr. Who, Abba, Macho Man, Zelda, Kermit the Frog, Mr. Rogers?

Wait a minute! Aren't you the same Banana Boi that posted the earlier "Trump...Got to love America!" and who "Americans voted to be theur leader" posts to which many of the other posts were simply replies or similar side comments?

LOL. You guys who get your licks in then demand the rest of us keep it on the subject of sex as soon as you start getting replies or posts that follow your lead crack me up. LOL.

Politics are everywhere and it sucks to hear it relentlessly.

Especially if they have absolutely nothing to do with Thailand and, in this case Pattaya since this is the PATTAYA REPORTS forum!

For those who want to talk about politics why not sign up for some of the political forums out there like

https://www.debatepolitics.com/

You can show off your political proficiency where people are much more knowledgeable and may give 2 sh1ts about politics than those of us who come here to talk about sex. This is a SEX BOARD!

I totally agree, but it is almost impossible not to respond when people are so very far from the facts. At some point in the last 15 years, while I was out mongering, the world just stopped caring about facts. Facts are unarguable truths. People see or hear something and then don't go to check the facts to see if it is true. What realm of logic does that fall into? Faith? So that means you have faith in the news and politicians?

Finally the government will provide free advertising distributed in equal proportion on a television channel running only political ads 24 hours a day and also offer the same service on all social media platforms and a website. If a person wants to become a politician but still can't afford the campaign they can anonymously crowd fund through the government run website that is providing the free advertising. The money can only be used to cover expenses related to the campaign such as offices, phone lines, hotels and venues, which will be reimbursed from their crowd funding accounts when the government is presented with receipts. Any additional money after the campaign goes back to the government to help pay for the free advertising and other services.

Boom! Did I just solve government corruption in every country around the world in 6 sentences?

News is a bit more difficult, the problem is money. We need to create tax funded Newspapers and Television news stations that are run by publicly elected officials that also face treason if they have income from "any" other source but the government. Being a politician or a government official should not be a money making venture it should be for the purpose of making the world a better place. The other news media can do what they like but the only news the people can trust will be the tax funded news outlets and all employees will be scrutinized and face treason if they are caught accepting money or lying about the news. The tax funded news media will be 100% transparent and not worry about who is the first to report the news. Tax funded news will encourage and protect whistleblowers and offer rewards for convictions related to information provided by whistleblowers.

If we implement these two systems we never have to talk about politics ever again. If we don't then we must talk about politics every waking moment because we are at war! The Wealthy who control the politicians and media Versus The entire population of the world. If you look into the facts of the current situation you will see it is the truth.

I have some good news! We outnumber them about 40,000 to 1 if the military and police, who are not wealthy, choose to stand with the people. If the military and police choose to stand with the wealthy people, corrupt government officials and news media, don't worry too much, we still outnumber them about 5,000 to 1.

If you disagree, please tell me specifically why you disagree.

The only way to make the madness stop is to "make" the madness stop!

Thank you for your time!

Every major USA Economic crash, Depression/Recession, massive jobs losses and bear market of the past 100 years, including this current one, occurred under Republican presidents and well after their policues were in place.

Every major USA Economic recovery, expansion, jobs creation and bull market of the past 100 years (and none of the Crashes) occurred under Democratic presidents and well after their policies were put in place.

Do you really think African Americans are too stupid and ill informed to have noticed that consistent pattern in the history books and much of it easily observable in real time to anyone over the age of 40?

The stock market results are readily available too.

Eventually it is going to become President Harris (Biden turns 78 this November).

Bet there's an opinion of the woman who spent most of her 20's being Willie Brown's girlfriend (when he enjoyed his 50's before becoming mayor Willie Brown of SF in his 60's).

Campaigning can be tough on a democratic love interest, especially when one of them's married.

It's actually the goal of Nancy Pelosi. Make people poor so they vote Democrats. They've been doing it to African Americans for years. Funny thing is they are Onboard big time. Vote Food Stamps.

I bet if California didn't welcome so many illegals with open arms and give them anything they want there would be no problem extending your unemployment benefits.

Around half of the Republicians in the Senate are telling Mitch McConnel that they won't vote for even a dime of additional unemployment for all United States workers, including citizens.

GOP says fuck off you non essentials. No more relief.

[Beavis]

Yesterday the Republican controlled Senate recessed without passing any covid relief legislation.

Unemployed people in California will not get the extra $600 on top of their weekly state unemployment benefits.

I was on unemployment one summer in 1983 or 1984 back when California's maximum UI benefit was IIRC $451 a week.

My understanding is that California's UI top benefit today is close to what it was 37 years ago when I received it for around two or three months when I was in my 20's.

Back on May 15th the Democratic controlled House of Representatives passed the Heroes Act that would have provided the extended Covid relief that the Senate could not get their act together for this week, before adjourning.

Senate leader Mitch McConnell would not allow the Heroes Act to come up for a vote or even discussion in the Senate.

Yesterday Mitch McConnell said that between 15 to 20 senate Republicans would not vote for and coronavirus relief bill.

Senate leader Mitch McConnell essentially refused to allow 48 Democrats and around 35 Republicans see if 51 of them could agree to prevent unnecessary hardship to fall on 32 million Americans currently collecting unemployment.

I bet if California didn't welcome so many illegals with open arms and give them anything they want there would be no problem extending your unemployment benefits. I am sure that brilliant speaker of the house from California would have no problem forking out a few million to help her people. As long as she got to keep about half.

The US government has issued a travel warning for New Zealand over the country's '23 active cases' of COVID-19, despite the fact there are more than 2 million active cases in the US itself, where community transmission is rife.

As the US death toll from the pandemic surpasses 160,000, President Donald Trump is looking to reopen the country and some border restrictions have been eased.

But in a post on his government's travel advice website made on Friday (NZ time), authorities called for increased caution when travelling to Aotearoa.

"As of August 6, 2020, New Zealand has had 1569 confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 within its borders. Currently, there are 23 active cases in New Zealand," the post states.

It doesn't mention that all of the active cases in New Zealand are in managed isolation.
