  1. To each their own … the CNN comment caught my eye. A fellow Scout Master made this reference. My counter was simply that CNN was preferable to the Fascist News Network of Faux Entertainment (court finding reference here). I wish you well but advise you to be ready to denounce the findings of those who research and teach history, neither Trump nor his followers are going to be happy with recorded history. Perhaps you will favor joining others in history in attempting to control what is recorded or taught.
  2. So, about a million baht a year brought in to Thailand. And then it is all spent here. I am thinking that tax is collected on all sales … including the gas for the car and motorbike, which also bring to mind the registration tax. As a U.S. citizen, I am not going to worry until I have something to worry about. Worse comes to worse? I am free to seek retirement elsewhere, perhaps where I am allowed to join the national healthcare scheme.
  3. Nor would IVF. I’m thinking the “missionary position” being the only normal, regular way in your mind?
  4. And you are aware that rare but present medical conditions can develop after conception. Very, very rare up until delivery … the Mother and her medical advisors not me, nor any other person making such a critical medically based decision.
  5. Agree. Fortunately, there are a host of reasons not to support Trump. My family personal healthcare decisions are but one component.
  6. Wishing an overwhelming turn out and supportive voting for them and the American Democrats. Both facing those oriented to keeping control in the hands of those controlling wealth. (That said, as regards the USA, after driving a stake through the heart of the Trump party, I join with others at demanding Democrats more forcefully address the issues facing the working middle class).
  7. Ha! Sorry, my mind just went off on a tangent. Wonder how AI driven RoboTaxi will be able to deal with driving in Thailand. I am thinking a sure test fo Alzheimer’s is during my car and motorbike here. Brain has to be firing on all cylinders or … literally crash and burn.
  8. First trips to Thailand 2009 + 2010. Both in Bangkok and Chiang Mai I hired Tuk Turks to take me on a general intro tour but … well, it was a bit of a conspiracy, I suppose. I wanted to look around and I already knew the drivers got some kickback for bringing in customers. I was up front with the drivers … don’t expect purchases by me but they were free to take me around. I did buy two tailor made suits and four shirts in Bangkok. Still have the shirts. Chiang Mai was more of hiring the Tuk Tuk for the day so included my own Big C shopping.
  9. I certainly have encountered the latter in the banks.
  10. Ha! No, … smart. I await to view Trump’s behavior. Thinking he will be true to himself further driving swing voters away from him and his ilk.
  11. Anyone want to consider the irony here. I certainly want only American citizens to vote so certainly check on these issues Virginia. The irony, Virginia you have publicly documented that you have assured that only valid votes will be cast … you will have no excuse for not certifying the vote results.
  12. Yep. Thank you although we both are aware the MAGA types are not known for their critical thinking skills.
  13. Says the person who misspelled intelligent? Or was it intelligence?
  14. He will do that which he is capable of doing … try to talk over, and spew a continuous line of lies. Trump can’t help himself … you can correctly say, he is true to himself.
  15. And if they did not … they would be accused of interfering in internal affairs of a sovereign nation. Lose, lose …
  16. What Move Forward wanted to address was not protecting of the monarchy but the documented misuse of the law for political ends to stifle dissent. And so it remains, status quo.
  17. Yes, not scarred …
  18. We agree here on who should be registered and who votes. However, these people saying they are registered to vote taken as valid? Lacking substantiating evidence from their County Clerk’s Office showing them as registered, I reject out of hand. I am sure much will be brought out concerning Georgia in the upcoming Trump trial.
  19. If in Chiang Mai, come by the Chiang Mai Expats Club the first Saturday of the month. And/or take a look at the webpage to make contact.
  20. IF the electorate turns out in record numbers …..
  21. Welcome. The Democrats Abroad sent out encouragement for all of us to make sure we are registered to receive our ballots. I am fortunate in being in Chiang Mai where our Consulate will put ballots in the Diplomatic Pouch for safe transport to the USA.
  22. See, see … we told you! The country will be turned communist (Trump’s actual words) if these Democrats support programs directly benefitting the working middle class Americans. Radical … all of them …
  23. Yes, they have a right to be running scared. But then, we need to be mindful of wounded beasts backed into a corner come elections …
  24. 555 yes, this charge 29 years ago and the four citizen Grand Jury indictments handed down charging Donald J. Trump, past President of the USA are the same thing …
  25. Just read the Fox posted link. Yep, 70 chatted with trying to rip off a program which addresses supporting working middle class families and the poor … how could he? Having taught middle and high school students for 16 years in a low income state … I fully support providing meals for students. But, but taxes! Yes, what I want to see is, services for citizens for the taxes we pay. That is my focus. Thus, you might guess, I also support joining the rest of the world’s democracies in providing a national healthcare system. Should leave no doubt my Absentee Ballot will be mailed from Thailand causing some MAGA folk to decry either mail ballots and or votes coming from outside the country.
