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.

came to BKK 1972 - too many cars then, and the other 3 times I worked at the Embassy on Wireless road - same thing, too many cars, and like most old old cities can't either move the people or get them to move for other buildings. In 1976 one could stand on the embassy roof (2 story building in those days) and overlook the entire city as there were only about two (chokchai bldg and Dusit Thani Hotel) over 2-3 stories. Look at it today - full of condos and bldgs to cater to tourists and parttime visitors/office workers

AMEN to this comment and as usual right on the mark!

Yo Yessir, the first time, he won IMHO because many dems crossed over to vote against Hillary. The second time the dems had BIDEN or HARRIS, both totally inept and not even close to being qualified IMHO to be president. But then again, I originally a Republican, then independent but could not bring myself to vote for him either so I sat it out. I didn't feel it could be worse than the dems but now I am beginning to feel that Trump truly wants to destroy the US economy. He seems hellbent on going into a recession - as it won't affect him nor his rich buddies, only the average citizen. This latest "glitch" solidified all my feelings about how dangerous he could be. Horrible for the citizens IMHO. And not totally sure we Americans here won't be affected either.

As a rich nation, FAIR trade should be the main driver in the trade agreements. I do realize that different govt see thinks differently but I am looking through the window of freedom and success.

From the notes I get daily from friends in different areas of the US, most of them feel betrayed by Trump so far and it only seems to be getting worse daily - their opinions anyway.

Hey, you obviously haven't seen the news clip about all that is happening with Trump announcing that people must realize,". they have been in power two months and this the first glitch and everything else has been perfect" I guess my schooling doesn't allow me to understand that THIS is the first GLITCH and all else is PERFECT, based on the daily news clipss. I lived and worked around the world in many different countries. I never was accosted and hated but usually had many friends in those countries. I usually spoke the language so could communicate with them and they always seem to have a lot of questions about America and life there so that seem to be hatefilled to me. Sorry for those that have obviously hung around the wrong Americans. People who feel like that should look the mirror and consider what others think of them!

looking at how many have to live here, seeing the minimum wages, etc, they already seem like slaves! IMO

In addition, if you noticed in their chat besides plan for the attack with what weaponry, the report mentioned that "the target individual had just been seen entering his girlfriends house!" now that could threaten the source as the HUTI now know about that too and they intel/police/military folks will do everything possible to id how the US was able to get that specific person targetted! To then blatantly lie to the Congress under that oath too shows that even afterwards they do not accept any responsibility for their disclosures! I wished they alll were fired and then charged under the espianage law and fined big time and spend a bit of time in jail. I don't think the Republicans or Trump will allow an IG investigation but think it would be fruitless anyway.

I kinda like the one that explains just how bad ELON and his team have screwed folks - an 84 (I think that is the right age) didn't get a check for so he called (when hey still could and asked and told them that he wasn't dead yet so was entitled to more checks. Then they told him well to confirm that you are alive you have to come in person to the nearest office. He made his way there and the line waiting to talk to one of two SS people there was over 50 people long. After waiting for 4 hours and not getting very far, he saw a gap and jumped the line screaming hey take me I am still alive! Not sure how long the regular citizen, who paid into SS his whole career and then can't get his check because he doesn't have a computer or know how to use one anyway, can no longer call the SS office and now the only one is hours away and he has to arrange transportation and then wait in a line to find out why they aren't sending him his check he has been getting for 17 years straight with no problems! ELON couldn't care less, he doesn't get SS and is worth too much anyway to so why would he care.

correct!

Wait a sec here, you obviously are a Trumper, he negotiated the NAFTA during his first presidency and proclaimed that it was the greatest treaty ever for the US and of course now he is speaking from the other side of his mouth even wondering WHO was the idiot that negotiated this treaty which screwed the US? Just what would it take for the Trumpers to wake up to that idiot?IMHO

Well, the originating military about the actual strike would know exactly what it was stamped and sure it is highly classified.

Exactly my fear! WE can readily see from the Congressional hearing that they just held, none of these amateurs would admit to remembering anything, especially if it was actually "classified" but they "couldn't recall". Well, now that we know for sure that there was classified info discussed there - each of them needs to be polygraphed about any previous chats held on SIGNAL as that will be the only way to know for sure as they will say oh never before and even if we chatted there, there wasn't anything classified or sensitive. IDIOTS for sure.
