Presnock

News interviews indicate that intel shows that the Chinese began a SIGNALS sweep after the first report as did the Russians. Maybe the presidential official records keeper can obtain copies of all these idiot conversations.

I did hear through news networks that Biden folks did use SIGNAL but only for non-official and definitely non-classified as they as all govt has been informed that Russia and China monitor the SIGNAL users regularly and they know who the main players are. What is scary, while the bad guys so to speak are familiary with SIGNAL activity by these idiots (IMHO) I wonder what else they have divulged since they came to power.

yeah called project golden flow I think so wifie really would like to know for sure if he lied to her you know with her pre-nup plus the addition for new 1st lady again. Imo of course a I don't have any proof, just the rumor.

Well, I admit that I do not like open borders, US immigration policy was one of the easiest for numbers of folks coming in, then open borders anyone in no problem - Thais having the same problem now as bad folks coming in too, also I an a two genders only person, with born men not allowed in women's sports, I definitely am against fraud, waste and abuse in not only governmnet but in any organization, I started voting as a Republican changed to Independent but could never vote for democrat policies, I do believe there is waste, abuse and fraud in probably every large govt program, especially the give away to people who are capable of working but would rather stay at home and some even have more babies as they get more benefits - against a lot of that but it also taks a lot of folks checking up on these people. I have always been for a very strong defense which can overpower another offense so liked the Rep defense budgets and like having the US near the top in preventing some wars but didn't alway like their doing combat without Congressional approval. I do believe in the separation of powers of our government and believe that if one does the crime then they must pay the consequenses which the woke crowd just did away with to protect the floyd demonstrators who should have spent some time in jail. anyway, not totaly against all he stands for, just don't think he is presidential material. And definitely know the clowns he appointed already are amateurs who are rich and accept no responsibility for their actions unless something good comes out of it. In any case I hoPe I am wrong and the economy begins to zoom up and inflation zooms down and everyone almost are happy.

That he will achieve a savings of a trillion USD or if he can, then the goverment will not be able to provide any support to the people at all IMHO To announce that is just like going into the ss office and now they can't provide the same services to the older people. A shame that people allow idiots that have not idea of what the departments to run them is crazy!

talking about idiots believing something so false!

Well yeah, bought my first house in '73 for 25K but it wasn't new. Bought my 68 mustang in 1968 right out of the military Education I got in VN called surviving,gasoline in my life has been 10Cents a gallong and yeah have paid 30K in cash for a new vehicle too. Owned more houses paid them off too gave the money to my families. Have no debt, plenty in the bank in case I pass tomorrow and my pension annuity for my wife will make her a rich lady in Thailand. When you look at the cost of things that people need daily, you also have to consider the average wage. Now I realize that in many states, house prices are way beyond the average middle American which has greatly shrunk. But the number of really rich folks has greatly increased....look at the number of billionaires created during the COVID pandemic over 500 - criminals I have to believe as they had to be stealing that from someone or the government. Same with Congress folks look at how rich they are and consider how they got there on their salary while they couldn't even floor an "anti insider trading" bill. They know how to play the game and that is why they stay forever - time for term limits. IMO.

totally agree but you will have to get someone explain it properly to the TRD guy as we have noticed from other Forum people, most don't have a clue about the DTA and by including pensions in Article 20 too, that is what is confusing the revenue dept. typical lawyers writing style just to confuse the average reader.

Also besides reading the STA in English, also google "Is US social security a pension?" and you will see the argument there that there is a difference, they are paid out of different funds and are funded differently. BY reading and understand the article s here, you might learn enough to argue with the revenue department here. Otherwise, you might contact the US social security system (if there is any office still taking phone calls and ask them specifically if your wife does not have to pay any Thai taxes on her social security. From what Ihave just read, Thailand does not have the right to tax her US social security. Good luck either way as I wouldn't pay it for sure! unless US law has changed since the DTA was written. If your wife was receiving a pension check from a civil service job then yeah Thailand could tax that pension but you seem to be talking straight social security only!

you can easily read, in ENGLISH by googling the DTA between the US and Thailand or look it up under the www.rd.go.th/English and check out the DTA there too but googling is easy and just check article 20 or 21 - it says if a Thai native is also living in thailand their pension is not taxed only by the US but I did think that ss was different than a pension in those articles. I will let you read them and let you make a determination if you need some legal help. Good luck

Yeah sorry to say, I know you are correct but I am still hoping ....

I am not so sure that most of those still believing in him have any healthy cells left in their brains if they had any to start with. Hopefully I will live long enough while he continues his struggles but i saw him proclaim " the SIGNAL glitch is just a small problem and especially since we have been inpower only 2 months and everything else has been PERFECT!" IMHO I think he really believes that! now so sure he has any working cells left!

well Japan and Souh Korea entered into long term agreements with Canada, cutting out ones that were with the US; meanwhile South American countries are teaming together also to sell their products with countries not aligned with Trump and which used to be sold to the US, the UK and Canada are ramping up on Defense agreements on products previously provided by the US, while greenland and Panama and Canada are adament that they do not plan to become the property of the US but, Trump has dropped some of the sanctions on Putin and Co. and even dropped some taxes on some of the Chinese, while no easing for allies, only for the others.

Well I agree that there is some trouble on the way. I also realize that the whole problem is not just Trump but many before him but I also disagree with you as IMHO I think he is out to destroy the US economy as he knows he will only be alive for a short time more and he wants to be crowned KING but that won't happen either IMO as he has surrounded himself with people that are clueless as to what they are responsible for. But I do wish that for my kids, family and friends, that I am wrong and that things will work out with the US in a better fiscal position.

Well in the opinion of this old fart, from the US, my opinion is that Trump may be at war with the Canadians but as far as I am concerned, that is only Trump and any stupid enough to follow him, as the Citizens of America know that Canada is the same at heart and has shown that they are a world class people too so it would be Trump and his amateur cabinet facing the Cannucks and these rich folks that Trump has given some power are all cowards at heart. Threaten them by taking away their money if they go to war, then see how quickly they retreat! US soldiers have fought side by side with the Canadians and sure won't follow a leader that is spineless (IMHO) anyway.

well, as for debt, Trump ordered the Rep run Congress to pass that bill funding the govt until the end of this fiscal year but also included in that bill is a lift on the debt ceiling that he wanted included so that he could extend the tax breaks for the really rich people - I blv the estimate was for at least a 4 trillion dollar debt added during his four years unless he adds even more! Scary and agree Harris definitely would be worse and JD if Trump to drop dead immediately would be as lost in that position as Harris.

exactly the problem this old government retiee has. I sure hope other folks are prepared for a possible reciession in the US and probably the world too!

The lefties had their chance but hung that on the wall with Biden and then selecting Harris as his running mate a lose-lose situation for sure and this political novice noticed it immediately and then with Trump running against either of those, I couldn't see how he could lose. He won before because IMHO dems crossed over to vote agains Hillary as they hated her and rightly so but again the Super Pacs selecting the candates have sold us down into the toilet bowl with the water pouring in and no way out for the four years - JD would be just like Harris - way over his head as are all those other rich folks begin appointed to head agencies so that Trump's version will always be approved by that department. They know now after this latest SIGNAL glitch that they can do whatever they want without accepting any responsibility nor do they have to tell the truth under oath as normal people do! I do hope I am wrong of course but DT just wants to destroy the US economy! IMO.

Well written and agree he has no way to improve the economy as he is a total idiot when it comes to that - he has shown so by failing at many different endeavers! He is a threat to our world for sure IMHO. SCARY for this old retiree living on a government pension.

ัyou and me and I believe every US for sure retiree here and probably a lot from other countries. If ELON and his boys continue striking at Social Security, some of those old folks are former military vets too and just won't idly sit by watching their and their families lives destroyed by these rich idiots at the helms of different offices. IMHO anyway.

If you think that the traffic in BKK HAS BEEN bad, how about yesterday? trains and highways around BKK shut down by government, malls after eveactuating shoppers, locked their doors and refused entry even for people to come get their cars parked at the Mall, plus condo buildings evacuated and their people too were out in the streets plus all traffic basically came to a standstill as the roads just became parking lots. A horrible situation for many folks yesterday! Hopefully now everything will be back to just crowded streets instead of parking lots only.

amended my comment a couple of days ago yeah, partner member - saw a video today that BRICS has begun a campaign now, bought 600tons of gold and that Trump has outlawed them from internal US activity plus a USD $100K tariff on any of them trying to kill the dollar.

Totally agree with your comments. It appears to me that this is the goal of Trump but for what sane reason I have no idea. I just saw a video on Youtube that Brics just came out with an announcement of their plan. The supposedly bought over 600 tons of gold and are now idicating total BRICS operations. Trump in response put a USD $100K tariff on any country adhering to the BRICS program with outlawing any of them from US activity/agreements. IMHO guess things are going to get a bit darker before the dust does settle with this IDIOT at the helm along with his amateur advisors as department heads. SCARY for this OLD retiree.

and now he will find "someone" to confirm his claim althoughj that individual probably just became very rich.

you just contradicted yourself, you said pumping out lies.etc people will switch off then you say theylove what Trump is doing. Mae up you mind please.
