Hmm, long term “permanent relationships = 49 years. With my current Thai Wife, 8 years … 4 married. I do believe this is the last relationship. Fortunately for me each was an advancement am I do think I have reached the best possible!

Appeals to far too many of its voters … certainly not to all.

Ha! I sold out and went to cash. I am free to live where I can live on my $2400.00. As that excludes my own homeland, I am “outsourced” in retirement. Jealousy? Not this camper, especially under the current administration.

Ha! I am here as a retired American due to not being able, as a working middle class member, on my $2400.00 sustainable monthly budget. I will not be returning to the USA, subjecting myself to having a search of my iPhone/computer for anti trump statements. I am royally PO’d at the current policies/actions of the current trump administration.

Do to lack of cause …?

The California University FCE is not nor does it claim to be a university. From publicly available information it is a state entity which evaluates smaller, private institution and foreign earned credentials only. Most recently involved in charges mounted against Zambia Minister claiming fase credentials.

As if the Republicans, the right, and conservative judges citing “original construction” had no voice to oppose Obama policies/actions?

Yet another winning policy/action promoted by the trump administration. Used for immigration and border security? They just got a huge money bump from the rubber stamped just passed budget Bill. As an American I encourage all to boycott the USA, Olympics included until this boil on our back and his supporters is removed.

For myself, the idea of a, “secured credit card” is ridiculous. No “credit” is being extended. I have kept my U.S. Credit Cards and have used them without issues over the 14 years residing here in Chiang Mai.

We can only hope …

An excellent point to remind thinking individuals of both the complexity of language and the current limitations on tech providing assistance. I suppose why I have supported the idea of a human, familiar with both the language nuances and the culture as the only hope of getting translation interpretations having any hope of accuracy. Even then, there exists some cultural concepts that do not equally translate into a word of a different language/culture.

This is exactly why trump has lost support on his policies/actions. Most supported moving against any criminals/gang members. Ha! Trying to convince Americans that all that entered the country without documentation, including those involved in legal proceedings, those under protective status. No, not even a good try. Ha! Then, what do you know, upon being faced with the fact of food production being cut … taa, daa we will let them stay …

One of these things is not like the other. Indeed documented fact, Obama deported more than trump. The difference? athe way this was handled. Competence vs incompetence. No surprise for anyone a papable of critical thinking. Recommend watching PBS Newshour July 17 (all federal funding now cut by the Republican Congress, signed into law by trump). A US conservative farmer focuses on the issue pointing out that the immigrant labor was classified as “essential” during COVID … under trump? Categorically lied about to be deported to foreign countries not their homeland without due process of the law. Support what you will internationally documented history will condemn. Yes, I realize trump and his Project 2025 supporters will go to their graves denouncing the mistreatment of history.

Late bloomer. Only two dozen, all in on three continents. Then again, half were here in Thailand. When I arrived I was a fat boy in the candy store. Now over the hill but with memories to recall and brings a smile.

I am thinking the rich and famous participants would be observed regardless of US political leaning. Scanned the “little Black Book” but agreed with the Mother Jones long ago article observing it was more a collection of contacts rather than a succinct client list. After checking these two sources … I have little interest.
