  1. It will be interesting to see how the new system works come Monday.
  2. If you believe that I have an aircraft carrier that might interest you. The purpose of the Thai military is to police citizens when they start to get ideas.
  3. trump's drag queen stage name.
  4. Given the pool is 17 - 21 YO males, mostly from rural areas with little education and few employment prospects - those who can, buy their way out of the red/black challenge, and that Meth is essentially free (as little as 1 baht/tab), the 80 % figure seems legit. If the problem drugs were cannabis (remember that it is legal), or kratom or some opioid, the good general would have mentioned it.
  5. Maybe they're rejiggering his dementia meds? "We are a department store". WTAF. https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/ When are they going to be announced? You have to understand, I'm dealing with all the companies, very friendly countries. We're meeting with China. We're doing fine with everybody. But ultimately, I've made all the deals. Not one has been announced yet. When are you going to announce them? I’ve made 200 deals. You’ve made 200 deals? 100%. Can you share with whom? Because the deal is a deal that I choose. View it differently: We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it. They don't have to do business with the United States, but I set a tariff on countries. Some have been horrible to us. Some have been okay. Nobody's been great. Nobody's been great. Everybody took advantage of us. What I'm doing is I will, at a certain point in the not too distant future, I will set a fair price of tariffs for different countries. These are countries—some of them have made hundreds of billions of dollars, and some of them have made just a lot of money. Very few of them have made nothing because the United States was being ripped off by every, almost every country in the world, in the entire world. So I will set a price, and when I set the price, and I will set it fairly according to the statistics, and according to everything else. For instance, do they have the VAT system in play? Do they charge us tariffs? How much are they charging us? How much have they been charging us? Many, many different factors, right. How are we being treated by that country? And then I will set a tariff. Are we paying for their military? You know, as an example, we have Korea. We pay billions of dollars for the military. Japan, billions for those and others. But that, I'm going to keep us a separate item, the paying of the military. Germany, we have 50,000 soldiers—
  6. 80% of those incarcerated here are in for drugs. Most/all meth.
  7. trump echoes your take...WSJ Good before, now, WSJ Sucks. ‘It Sucks!!!’ Trump Bitterly Rages Against Fox News and Calls for Heads to Roll at The Wall Street Journal in Truth Social Tirade President Donald Trump raged against both Fox News and The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, targeting two of the most influential conservative media outlets in the country, both of which are owned by billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch. “Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so,” wrote Trump in a Truth Social tirade. “This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!” https://www.mediaite.com/news/it-sucks-trump-bitterly-rages-against-fox-news-and-calls-for-heads-to-roll-at-the-wall-street-journal-in-truth-social-tirade/
  8. Five D chess. Tariff Dementia is a terrible disease. "Trump Chickened Out" is trending. What a doofus.
  9. Ms. Noem is still shagging Corey Lewandowski. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14625547/kristi-noem-cozy-corey-lewandowski-department-homeland-security.html What a pair. Lewandowski served as trump's campaign manager for a brief spell in 2016. He's wedged himself into "de facto" Chief of "Staff" for Noem and DHS. I think it's more likely a foreign security service pinched her bag to get her phone.
  10. Can you expand on your statement/experience? Still free for me, I have two GV numbers. The "Business" version is a paid service. For international calls, from the U.S., you need to pay/buy credits.
  11. Did these folks mention any changes in the income method? Any timeframes? This rumor pops up here every year or so, for the last ~ 20 years, with similar attribution to "Immigration insiders". If past performance is any indicator, those in the 400/800k or 40/65k buckets would be grandfathered, and any increases would affect those applying for a first extension of stay. And I think any new rules/laws would need to be announced at least a year in advance.
  12. You need a US mobile number to complete the original registration.
  13. Knives are out. Someone is not sharing the skim.
  14. She would create a new GMail account, you could specify the username and password. Then she would register for GoogleVoice with her mobile number. Then you could use it here.
  15. One has to wonder how many Signal chat-rooms Hegseth, and other members of the trump administration (Kristi Noem) are using? And how many dick-pics have been sent to the wrong group chat? At this point Jeanine Piro or Jesse Watters would make a better secdef.
  16. Vietnam might get squeezed given their "deal" they made with trump? A 1.5 Billion USD trump hotel, StarLink approved, will buy Boeing aircraft, in-bound duties on cars (Tesla?) and LNG reduced...
  17. You could ask a family member/friend (in the U.S.A. with a mobile number) to create a new GMail account and register for Google Voice for you.
  18. Yes, AFAIK all providers here each have several int'l calling options. AIS has 003, 005 and 00500. 003 is an add-on, goes as low as 2.01 baht/min to the USA. https://www.ais.th/en/consumers/package/international/international-call/003 And there are 3rd party calling cards and apps, some of which have free local access, and calls to the USA (landline or mobile) range from 1 to 1.5 baht/min.
  19. Stick a fork in Pete "Happy Hour" Hegseth.
  20. Which mobile provider here? I think some/all offer discounted rates of 1.07 baht/min and/or 2.675 baht/min from your Thai mobile to a landline in the U.S. There are calling cards here too that offer similar rates. For example, DTAC, 004/00400 https://www.dtac.co.th/en/prepaid/services/tourist-sim-international-call.html
  21. https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/register/add https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login
  22. I guess I'm surprised you qualified your statement with "largely".
  23. My Fidelity ATM-Debit card gives the daily Visa exchange rate. The 220 THB ATM fee is reimbursed. Fidelity upgraded their ATM-Debit card with zero foreign transaction fees Sep 28, 2024. I was never charged that 1% fee. My daily limit is $1,000. Fidelity has a no-annual-fee Visa credit card that has zero foreign transaction fees.
