  1. Totally agree, anyone can see that the things that people like so far since the election that Trump has signed a decree on include two genders only but have also read that some folks don't agree that men should only compete in men only sports, no men competing in women's sports. INMHO, I believe that any female team losing to a team against male participants in which some girls are injured and migjt never be able to compete again in that sport should sue the officials that still allow men born as men to compete with women in any sport.
  2. if yu read the blurb about the sending them back to China, the Thai Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs expressed concerns about the potential repercussions from China might affect Thailand's economy. This all happening after the PM met with Xi in China. No other way to put it, the Thai's ignored world opinion and offers so as to please the Chinese.
  3. Oh, BTW how do you think the American veterans and those still suffering from not only the agent orange in VN but the burn pits too feel about his promises before and since he election, where he promised not to touch Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and then yesterday he sends ELON after the Veterans Affairs agency - which cares for veterans and their families and Trump says that they will cut thousands of jobs there - 30% of which are veterans. That should make all the military line up to support Trump where ever...(NOT)
  4. Yeah I guess Georgia too just didn't settle nicely with the Russians...seems funny to me that so many in the world agree with Putin and the Russians that NATA is just chomping at the bit to attack Russia - but for some reason, I sure can't figure out why. Must be great women or minerals there that can't be found elsewhere....oh and Russia would like the fertile fields of Ukraine and any minerals there too.
  5. But he did say that Thailand didnot want to upset the Chinese so how can you state your position here?
  6. Yessir so he promised that if the border states would give up the nukes he wouldn't invade them...that worked out well...ask the border states about it.
  7. hey that sounds to me like you have gone over to the dark side! better luck next time if you decide to switch back
  8. Can you work here with the DTV - YES but you cannot work for a Thai company on th DTV- http://https://www.getworkflex.com/post/understanding-the-dtv-vusa-for-thailand-what-employers.need-to-know if you can meet the obligations, the 10-year LTR might be best for you but it all depends on your income and health coverage. see this link and you can better understand the DTR requirements limitations.
  9. that is why I mentioned "radicalized", for some places like where I was, I was told by several locals that 4-year old males begin a that age to HATE the west and Christianity. If I am not mistaken, even some areas of Christianity had their women wear head covers when going to church. But that is not the worse thing for the women, being slaves their whole lives. Think how the Afghani women must feel now, almost 20 years of being able to go to school, work at any jobs including elected officials and lawyers, doctors when western troops were there, now back to the Stone Age! But I dofeel that immigrants should not be trying to change my country to reflect their cultures and beliefs while basically affecting the daily lives of many Americans.
  10. Yessir O was useless too, just like Kamala, not qualified at all to handle the US problems, let alone anything of importance in the rest of the world either. IMHO anyway! I really don't think that I could a lot better in that position, but I couldn't do any worse and I wouldn't want it anyway.
  11. oops forgot, as long as one RELIGIOUS radicalized belief in all those virgins upon martyred death, those bombers will remain. Live in a fundamentalist city for two years - saw it all first hand including terrorist killings of my friends and co-workers. Not a pretty picture, but from what I read the fastest growing religion in the world today while westen Christianity fades...talking with folks here, the same thing among their young - Buddhism fading too. Such is life.
  12. Summer just arrived here with predictions of temperatures in ther 42-43 C range - already summer storms wreaking havoc in the NE and N while south still flooding.
  13. Yeah have to agree with you, I was a govt employee during his years as President and those others too, saw the interworkings of their teams, but just the fact that he wore any uniform seperates him in the minds of ALL vets but that doesn't mean we have to love him too!
  14. yeah reading that bots are now talking with each other, guess that next war may be mankind against the AI bots. Idon't believe I will be here for it but worry about my kids. Best of luck to you, have a great (HOT) day!
  15. Well you also have not seen me write any praises of any of those mentioned either. Bush may have worn a flight suit, but to call him a vet would not be fair to most vets. Many presidents have led the nation in a war and did so successfully by listening to veterans. But I am not a fan of politicians and very seldom do I agree with much of what they do. I also spent many years as a government civilian so have been around a lot of real losers in my opinion anyway.
  16. and if he isn't? those European NATO countries are only a couple of minutes away from possible nukes. If Putin wasn't afraid to scarf up Crimea in 2014, saw the reaction from the west, then that is why he went ahead into the Ukraine. He has lost way too many soldiers because of the military equiipment privided by the west but he also has gained a lot of knowledge about the world. too scary for me!
  17. well at least I think she would not be praising PUTIN though I also believe she would have been an absolue HORRIBLE president! Totally unqualified IMHO.
  18. Being a vet in a hot war zone separates those from every other being. Yeah, many of their families too end up suffering even if the vet survives. I spent a several years in a hot war zone both as a vet and a civilian. Does it affect one? of course it does and for me, it definitely makes me look at non veterans' opinions too both those that went to combat and those that stayed behind and supported those fighting troops. All veterans are brothers and by attacking the Veterans Administration which provides support for the American vets, could be a catalyst to motivate the American public. In any case, I realize opinions are like A%%holes, we all have one and have to recognize we all have a varied life experinces. Have a good day!
  19. Well so far, I have yet to see him act any different than that which I thought about him anyway long before even the first presidency. He was a spoiled rich kid and thus grew to be a humongous narcissist that believes he is the GREATEST of all things! Unforunately for people like me, we will have to suffer 3+ more years of his crap and who really knows just how dangerous that time will be for not only the USA but for the entire world.
  20. anyone doing whatever they can to avoid serving to me is shameful! but I bet more rich kids avoided the draft than poor ones but one will never see those figures.
  21. I had heel spurs too, I wasn't exempt, in fact the draft board contacted me about 2 months after I had spent 4 years in the military, including 2 years in VN. I played sports in HS too with the heel spurs and never considered that it should be a means of avoiding military service, unlike Trump.
  22. he got his dad's doctor to say he had heel spurs so he was declared 4f meaning he was unfit for military service. Then he went on to college where he played in all the sports guess his heel spurs only exempted him from military service which didn't exempt all those with heel spurs. Biden too was exempt as he had asthma. Two really great American patriots (not).
  23. On top of all this, the AI industry fired most of those that brought them to prosperity but now those human workers have designed computers/robots that can further the prosperity of the AI industry at a much cheaper price so those human workers, well educated are now out there fighting for any job in which they can survive. There is no loyalty from the large companies as they continue letting people go too and hiring folks at a cheaper rate. Today, housing costs are way beyond your average wage earner. The American dream of home ownership has long passed the average person. On top of all that, taxes need to be raised by the local, and national level just to stay open and give all the benefits to those unable or unwilling to work for themselves. Talking to family and friends in the US makes me really glad I am still here in what I STILL consider paradise. Sure hope it continues for at least 4 years before we see just how bad things might become. I don't dislike all that has been accomplished early into this administration but sure don't understand a lot of other issues nor how they are being carried out. Hope all here fm the US appreciate what we do have here.
