  1. Now that the comments were made by cummings and Mr. Trump,it surely brought some disgusting pictures and reports recently on the living conditions in cummings district. 20 years of his leadership in Baltimore and it  hasn't changed a thing ,poverty,no jobs ,poor educational system and crime . It's worse than ever! No racism in calling out someone for not doing their job

    The posts defending Trump in this thread are among the scariest things I've ever come across on ThaiVisa and that includes policy announcements by the Immigration Department.  Sadly, for most of the free world post #46 probably is closest to revealing the truth about those who seem to be able to close their eyes and overlook almost anything he chooses to do or say.

     

    To the poster who pointed out that the rest of the world isn't in such good shape, you're spot on - this is a very difficult time for many, but to entrust the leadership of probably the most powerful country on earth to someone who appears not to think before he speaks in public doesn't make the prospects any better.

     

    Heaven help us all when Boris Johnson moves into No. 10....

    You got a better choice to save Americans from the far left taking control

    As an American it is my civic duty as a citizen to press for my country to reach for the ideals which is not found in support of the words, policies and actions of the current administration. It is not "my country, right or wrong". It is denounce wrong, demand redress of grievances ... do you forget that these are central to the country's founding?!

    Are you quoting someone because the script was all in highlight.

    So that's why he and the Republicans passed a federal tax overhaul that vastly benefited the rich and did little to nothing for the poor and middle class?

     

    And that's why he's been feuding with China in a way that has harmed U.S. agricultural exports and the "hinterlands" farmers who grow that food.... and talking of tariffs that are only going to hurt those farmers further.

     

    And that's why he's consistently sided with the energy industry and against environmental protections, because obviously the energy industry aren't corporate cronies, and the vast electorate in the hinterlands don't care about the air they breath, the water they drink, etc.

     

    Please, get real!  Trump doesn't get a sh** about the welfare and well-being of the working class Americans... He only cares about promoting himself and deluding people into thinking he has their interests at heart.

     

     

    I'm not rich I saved almost $1000.00 annually   from that Tax bill

  5.  Some of the words in Reagans last speech before he left the WH read something like this

     

    As we enter the 90's parents are struggling to find ways to teach their children whether to promote America.Don't give up on patriotism even if it doesn't seem stylist ,he said.

     

    It is my opinion that these 4 congresswomen are part of those children he was speaking about.

    They are radicals that we hear about in history that would create divisiveness and divide a country and make it ripe to  fall!  

    I support patriots who talk about the past and America First

    Without evidence, you denounce these women as having “a distain for the rule of law” 

     

    Yet you seem happy to support a tax dodging, draft dodging, law-breaking man who has been fined multiple times for breaking various laws, and, as president, has been thwarted by the courts in his multiple attempts to break even more laws, and has been credibly accused of ten counts of obstruction of justice.

     

    Which leaves me to suspect that when you say “someone needs to stand up for America” what you really mean is “someone needs to stand up for White America”

     

    Be honest; you don’t really care about upholding the rule of law unless it’s about protecting white america.

    Do they support illegal entry into one's country! Are they condeming  illegals living here

    Ronald Reagan last speech as president , how times have changed Republican Party now lead by a racist white supremisist!

    "But now, we're about to enter the nineties, and some things have changed. Younger parents aren't sure that an unambivalent appreciation of America is the right thing to teach modern children. And as for those who create the popular culture, well-grounded patriotism is no longer the style". 

     

    Another President who uses Patriotism as a banner of Pride in America's past! Don't worry Mr. Reagan if your listening, we continue to fight against people who try to divide us with radical change and that shows disgust for the intent of  our  founders!

    When you go to Bangkok Bank to complete the form they can send it to Manila for you....or you can send it yourself.  Up to you.  If you say you will send it yourself they will probably have you write a sentence on a form saying you will send yourself so you don't come back to them later trying to blame them for not sending the form.   Actually, I think the completed forms from all Bangkok Bank branches around Thailand are sent to the Bangkok Bank head office on Silom Rd in Bangkok who in turn consolidates them and sends them once a week to Manila.

     

    Also, keep in mind this will require you to have your Thailand address onfile with the SSA.  IDD can only be used if you have a foreign addresses.  This also means once a year you will get and need to return the "Are You Dead or Alive Form" otherwise your benefits will be suspended.  The form will be first mailed in May/June with 60 days to return.  If not returned they will mail you another one Sep/Oct with 45 days to return.  If not returned by early Jan in Jan the SSA will mail a notice your benefits will be suspended unless you respond ASAP....that is, you Jan benefit which is paid 3 Feb will not occur....nor subsequent monthly payments. 

    Does everyone get this "are you dead or alive form"? Even if your address is in the USA and the direct deposit is in a USA bank?  What is the actual forms name. This is my first year as a SS recipient
