  1. Yes, America imports oil - just as the other poster to whom you responded originally stated. Yes, America is a net exporter of oil - they export more than they import. Nonetheless, America imports oil.

  3. The more one reads this thread, the more one understands why OP doesn't have anyone with whom to dine.
  4. Once you understand who raised "some of the alarms" mentioned above, you'll realize that - in reality - you have nothing about which to be concerned. Your wife with a valid visa isn't going to be deported, tariffs aren't going to directly affect your plans, and Social Security "cuts" - if they happen at all - are many years away. I'd renew my existing extension of stay and go from there.
  5. "Asked for his response to Trump’s Cabinet picks so far, McCarthy told Bloomberg Television in an interview, “I think the choices are very good, except one.” “Look, Gaetz won’t get confirmed,” he continued. “Everybody knows that.” and "McCarthy, a loyal Trump ally while serving in the House, was asked why the former president would bother tapping Gaetz if he knew the Florida Republican couldn’t get confirmed. You can talk to [the] president, but it’s a good deflection from others, but it also gives …” McCarthy responded, cutting himself off. “I’ll let it stand at that.” https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4990312-kevin-mccarthy-matt-gaetz-feud-donald-trump-cabinet/
  6. Ha ha. When you click on a thread only to realize that everyone else on the thread is on your ignore list.
  7. Sharp post. Regarding the OP, while I'm all for "government efficiency", I sincerely doubt the way to make that happen is by creating a new government department - with more bureaucrats - to create "efficiency."
  8. That's hilarious. Your forgot the sarcasm emoji.
  9. Yeah, except I'm not "the left". Not even close. Gaetz is a stunningly poor choice and has been an exceptionally poor member of Congress, as in AOC poor. Republican Senators are already on record stating their doubts..... "But multiple Republican senators have already signaled they have some heartburn over Gaetz, an outspoken bomb-thrower who was previously under a yearlong DOJ investigation stemming from accusations he had a sexual relationship with a minor. The DOJ ultimately did not press charges. "He will never get confirmed," a Republican senator, granted anonymity to speak freely, told Fox News Digital. One Senate Republican source simply said, "Ain’t gonna happen," about the prospect of Gaetz's confirmation." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/matt-gaetz-resigns-from-congress-over-trump-nod-attorney-general-johnson-says
  10. Thais in LA protest....then hand her a check for one million THB. Very effective protest tactics.
  11. Yes and....he will still require Senate confirmation. I don't believe that will happen. Rs may have a majority but they'd be fools to squander the election momentum on this tool.
  12. Zero percent chance he gets confirmed. Zero. He's under investigation for drug charges, sex with minors, and other stupid behavior. Zero. Edit: This guy is such an idiot, he's already resigned without realizing it's not a "sure thing" that he's going to be the AG. News flash: he isn't. So now he's out of two jobs in one day.
  13. Do you mind sharing where you purchased the fluorouracil?
  14. So I guess the answer to the OP is "no".
  15. And they did. Sucks to be you.
  16. I'm currently visiting my son in the US (SoCal). We went out for breakfast - two coffees, one avocado toast w/salmon, one omelette with bacon/hash browns/toast. Bill was $60 USD. Crazy. Another evening - two burgers, one beer. $62 USD. Plus tip. Prices "under control", lol. No effing way.
  17. No, he is President Trump by virtue of the fact that he held the office previously. Former presidents are still referred to as Mr. President, even after leaving office.
  18. If you read the demographic breakdowns on the election, you'll find that more young African American males and Latino and Hispanic voters moved from the D side to the R side in this election than in previous elections. Trump's campaign experienced gains in the so-called "minority vote", despite running against a candidate that many would describe as being a minority.
  19. No and no.
  20. Exactly. OP habitually posts inaccurate information such as this in his zeal to bring us all "breaking news", lol.
  21. I flew out of BKK yesterday using fast track and the e-gates are now installed and operational in that area.
  22. This is a solution in search of a problem.
