Two weeks gives Trump more time to campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize he wants to attach to his CV. I just saw the Pakistan government nominated him for it. That paves the way for all sorts of pro-Iran manipulation. And Trump will fall for it like a cat chasing a ball of yarn. American foreign policy essentially being made so Trump can win a prize.

Maybe David the Swiss doctor kicker driving around Phuket giving everyone the finger.

Heartening news. Hope he is successful. Maybe the only person out there capable of any meaningful reform.

TACO-ed again. Trump is a weak, indecisive man who blusters, rants, threatens, and then crawls back for cover. It's his MO. Doesn't matter if it's tariffs or foreign policy.

A rising decline. Impressive.

Looks like Thailand will be needing to make an agreement with the new Shah soon.

They are all flocking together. Now you have Jackson Hinkle, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, and Syrian Girl all backing the Iranian mullahs. Peas in a pod.

FWIW, I searched out other people asking for the form in other countries. Reddit and two other forums have not reported receiving their forms yet either.

I still have two copies of the form from last year. It is making me nervous that this year's hasn't arrived yet. I'll wait some more, but if necessary, I'll just mail in the copies I made last year.

Don't you ever see their "you may have cancer" ads on Facebook. I do all the time.

In a way, you're now seeing a return to the way news was covered during the first half of the twentieth century. Major cities and even larger regions used to have many competing newspapers that didn't hesitate to align with a political party or ideology. And those newspapers would run morning, afternoon, and evening editions, always updating events throughout the day. Not to mention that star columnists the equivalent of the Joe Rogans of today dominated, such as Walter Winchell, Drew Pearson, and Franklin Pierce Adams. Only in the 60s and 70s did American news become homogenized and indistinguishable. Twitter/X in particular is only return to how the press used to operate.

They're dead. Few people bother with them.

By this time last year, I had received and returned the form. Just checked my PO Box and still nothing there from SSA. I sure hope this is not another thing DOGE has screwed up.

These days there's not a dime's worth of difference between Jackson Hinkle and Tucker Carlson. Both mouthpieces for Iran.

Don't like Trump's declarations? Wait a day or two and they'll change. I don't remember who it was who wrote it, but I remember someone saying that Trump doesn't have policies, he has moods.
