  1. Just in the news.. Trump has placed sanctions on Thailand for deporting those Uyghurs back to China. Probably also because Thailand supposedly lied saying no country made offers to accept them when the US Embassy in Thailand claims to have made several offers for this. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-sanction-thai-officials-over-deportation-uyghurs-china-2025-03-14/ https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2980485/thai-officials-face-us-visa-curbs-over-uyghur-deportations
  2. Can not answer your poll because it lacks many options, especially the one that applies to those who actually found a good woman that has never worked in a bar or as a prostitute.
  3. Why do they call them sex workers when usually the woman just lays there and you do all the work?
  4. If getting your visa legal tobe in Thailand.then i suggest you get a lawyer and sign the documents for divorce and the document granting him authority to act in your name for this... Pay the lawyer and leave without returning. This way you avoid having to be in a court room or amphur as an illegal in the country. The lawyer can sort it out with a fee.
  5. From what I understand. His green card was issued based on his Visa then marriage. The argument is now that he did not state his affiliation or support with the Hamas terrorist group during his time with a visa hence making the green card invalid.
  6. Not if they are not an american citizen.. I do not think the constitution or amendments were created for non-american citizens.
  7. I never said that... The comment was legit and not dumb really. The Thais are smart in things that matter to them at the time.. Perhaps smarter than alot of foreigners. But as for intelligence, I think they just do not care to learn or know anything that is not inside their circle of what they do daily. Even their social media habits do not utilize anything for learning more.
  8. Generally, Thais are smarter when it comes to things about Thai culture and Thai interaction. But as for worldly knowledge they lack this almost entirely. Ask them what causes the tides and they will look dumbfounded. Thais do know about how to use technology but lack understanding how it works. They are not taught many things that are common learning in 1st world countries. Also, their history taught changes through the years and is adjusted to show their leaders and kings in a good light. So it is not accurate. So who is smarter would depend on what type of smarter you are seeking an answer for.
  9. I seriously doubt you care about Freedom of Speech in this matter. You use any topic to complain about Trump. American citizens are granted the rights under the amendment to give them freedom of speech. This man is not an American citizens and does not have this right. He is a foreigner and must adhere to the rules of his stay as a foreigner. Just like you do in Thailand.
  10. Sounds like the SCB scam to get you to use your card at another ATM so they can collect fees. I would not put it past this bank. Their ATMs are touchy to say the least. None of my ATM cards work for that bank. Not even my foreigner debit cards.
  11. Freedom of speech is one thing. It is not what this guy did though to attract the attention on himself leading to his problems now in the US. Although he idd not break any police laws. He demonstrated his intentions to follow terrorism as well as try to coerce others to follow Hamas making him a national threat. He is deportable. What surprises me is why the government is allowing this drawn out show of resistance? They should have taken him and deported him immediately and let him try to fight it from outside the US. Now, all the crazies are gathering to support him which have created even more problems as well as threats to the nation and its people.
  12. Just like you while here in Thailand. You can live peacefully without causing any problems. but the minute you do something that attracts or instigates problems. Speaking out at a rally is even enough, would get the immigration to make a decision whether to allow you to continue staying here. What difference does it make if you are married to a citizen? You may not violate the laws but you did violate the rules of your visa and of your stay in Thailand. The USA has more rules than here. They just rarely invoke them. But this guy did bad things. Instigating hate and promoting terrorism. He surely violated the rules of his stay in the country. Hence should be thrown out with visa or green card cancelled. I am curious as to why you do not know this as an expat living abroad? You know there are things we can do and things we can not or should not that have nothing to do with the country's laws but still would invoke the wrath of immigration.
  13. I am confused... How does this apply to your initial hate Trump message? What this link shows is a good thing. How can anyone argue about our kids needing to be educated. Not indoctrinated
  14. Trump doesn't care if someone is antisemitic.... he is using this to go after higher education which he sees as chock full of liberals??? Where is the link to show this? Otherwise, you twisted the article into something to use making this comment which is really just your biased opinion. Not facts
  15. They got lower by making charges against the old couple years later. Desperate for money and pissed they had to pay damages to the old couple for their assault. Those 2 should have been put in a prison rather than settling monetarily with the old couple. Just goes to show you how twisted the law system is in Thailand.
  16. Not only tits... she claims to have a designer vagina in the VDO.. Haha... these tiktokers actually support and send money to this woman listening to her crap. Does not speak very good about those who watch her VDOs.
  17. wrong... world news gets its info from the leftist news as well. and some world news has been bought and paid for like AP. They are very biased and anti-Trump. They already have been kicked out of the WH. haha
  18. The OP is generally using this as an opportunity to show his hate for Trump. This is obvious. The topic about Trump issuing a 200% tariff is his excuse to post such a topic. So let's look around the OPs hate for Trump.. The name Champagne is controlled by France. It is expensive to buy in the USA. Most households would never buy it in their lifetime. Although they may try a glass that someone bought for a party or event. So basically, it is a middle to upper class alcohol. Whereas, lots of people buy the sparkling wine made elsewhere. Here is the difference in the 2.. The name whiskey is used mostly by the US. It is bought by all classes of people around the world. It is not expensive although some brands are priced more than others due to name and quality. France does make whiskey since the 1980s. But their quality lacks experience compared to the US who has been making it for hundreds of years. For the French, impsoning a 50% tariff on whisky will make sales drop there significantly. Simply because of the cost. Whereas Trumps 200% tariff will drop sales of the champagne. Due to the significance of the amount of sales and the selling prices of both. The 200% tariff makes sense. The 50% tariff will not hurt the average household as most would not buy a French champagne anyway due to the cost. The 200% tariff on whiskey may affect those lower class and middle class in France though. I think the idea of it makes sense. The point of it all is that these tariffs have been in effect for some time already in the form of taxes and with an unfair balance. Trump is trying to even the scales of import and export costs. It has been very one-sided with the US on the lower part of the scales.
  19. In another news article about this...Putin is saying the reason he will not make a ceasefire is because it gives the Ukraine a chance to recoup the military but has no benefit to Russia or their military. I would say that Putin has been listening to Zelenski's rhetoric about the war being far from over and does not believe him about adhering to a ceasefire anyway. Zelenski has previously shown no interest in stopping the war. In fact he has only talked about its continuation. In this case, I also would not agree to a ceasefire while negotiations were being made. Zelenskis only cares about getting more money and military equipment from the USA.
  20. where is the link for all of these accusations and comments? Or did you make this stuff up in your head?
  21. Pretty stupid of the man to make a note and send it to the dog owner. Would have been better off remaining anonymous and just killing the dog if that is really what he wanted to do. Now he is helpless to take any action against the dog or the owner. And if he does it will surely be used against him..
  22. Wow... You take a few and turn it into many. a little delusional about this i think. You should be more informed as well and begin watching news and reading news from sources that are not possessed by the leftist Dems. He only has 4 years in office. What he is doing is a drastic measure sure. But if it is not done then your trickle method would take a decade. Most of the cases filed against his actions as president are being heard. I can file a case against you for anything i choose, but does that mean I will win? You have in your head that the WH will lose in the cases made. But as long as the actions did not violate any laws, then the WH will win.
  23. COLA is an index that reflects the inflation. It is not the same as inflation and they do not calculate it the same for both. So can not be used to show about inflation. Inflation rate is a guide to determine the COLA.
  24. Do you even know what is COLA? OR how they get that number? It is not based on inflation haha....So much off topic..
