     and many are not even American citizens.

      Seriously, Yakov, you're entitled to your opinion and to post it....but to call out non-Americans commenting on Trump when you are one of the main "offenders" (if I may use the term loosely) is beyond hypocritical.

    Obsessed with Trump much? Thinking of his penis pump?

     

      Considering you have at least 400% more posts than I do on any thread regarding Trump, you tell me who's the person obsessed with Trump?  

     

      Do you set an alarm every morning so you can rush to AN to defend your knight in shining make-up?

     

      Does your man-crush know you admire his corpulent physique from the dregs of Cambodian exile?

    If I was Trump I'd stop negotiations now and hammer them with massive tarriffs. 

     

      If you were Trump, you'd be even fatter than you are now with worse "hair".  

     

      Your combined monthly expenses for Maybelline, Depends, Noxzema, and penis pumps would be astronomical.  

     

      And - here is where this ties in to the topic at hand - Canadians would still hate you.

    Once the bill is passed and signed by the President, that provision will be noted and instructions should follow - it would seem to me that the US banks sending wire transfers, WISE, US govt offices sending out checks to people overseas will have to be the ones collecting the 3.5% tax and hopefully they will by then be well aware of customers/users that are in fact US citizens or foriegners.  IMHO this should be fairly easy but then again, to me it is common sense but to the banks or whomever is going to do the collecting the law may be written in such a manner that they might not have a choice but to take out the 3.5% everytime one remits money overseas in order to protect themselves and then let the US person just claim a tax credit the follwing year - this IMHO would suck! 

     

      The final draft in the Senate reduced the remittance fee to 1%.

     

      I'm also relatively certain (though it's not specified in the link I'm providing) that the remittance fee is only applied to "cash and cash-like" instruments, i.e., sending via Western Union or similar services.  (Appears to be a tax aimed at brown people.)

    Ah yes. Well known expert on military affairs Chris Murphy. Known for his reputation as a non-partisan and realistic member of Congress.

     

      And your qualifications - other than gullible and willing to slurp Trump all day?

     

      Oh, that's right, you're an anonymous crank on a public internet bulletin board who didn't attend the classified briefing.

    NY Times headline this AM:

     

    Fate of Iran’s Enriched Uranium Is a Mystery
    U.S. intelligence agencies had long assessed that, faced with the possibility of an attack on its nuclear facilities, Iran would try to move its stockpile.

     

      Yes but that's 'fake news', don'tcha know?

     

      The Make Americans Goobers Again crowd thinks that only Trump's daily plethora of lies are what one should believe.
