Of course it might just be the statements made were objectively misogynist, just like other statements might be objectively racist. I myself don’t ever recall feeling I have been silenced for making misogynist or racist comments. It’s just never happened. Why I wonder?!

That’s a good start.

The GOP proposal is a wrapper, what’s inside is more important than what’s printed on the wrapping paper.

I’m sure he appreciated the refund.

They asserted their view, they did not indicate. Investigators not happy with the decisions made by their directing managers/prosecutors (I. This case a Trump appointee) are par for the course in all Investigation/prosecution authorities.

I suspect you’ve received far more than your understand or indeed are willing to accept. You would not be the first expat to depart back to the warm bosom of the the NHS and the Welfare State when life in Thailand bites harder then expected. Accept the truth of it, your life here is underwritten by the open invite to run back to Nanny should ever needs must.

This raises a dilemma for Brits retired in Thailand who don’t, perhaps for reasons relating to pension increases, wish to let the Government know where they are. Is their vote worth the risk of losing pension increases? Unpaid fines and taxes might be other issues.

A bit of an assumption. Thailand attracts a very different selection of British expats than might be found in other parts of the world. I’d be very surprised if many British expats in Thailand would bother voting even if they had the franchise extended to them. Though if a political party started making promises extend the pension triple lock that might wake a few up long enough to vote.

Trump was not a Washington Disrupter. His administration accelerated the neoliberal Republican policies transferring wealth from ordinary working people into the hands of the hyper wealthy to whom he handed tax breaks at cost to the Federal programs that support the rest of America. He delivered for the 1% at the cost of everyone else. He did exactly what every Republican President since Regan has done, stiff blue collar and middle class Americans and pay out to the hyper wealthy who own the GOP. “Washington Disrupter” he obviously suckered you too.

You are mistaking the GOP trying to offer Putin the hope of US withdrawing funding for Ukraine with what Congress will actually do.

They’ve got to get it through the House first. And yes we know the GOP are keen to cut the IRS, they don’t like it chasing people, particularly their very wealthy backers, to pay their tax dues. Regardless, it’s a spend almost 100x that of you tell us Biden is squandering.

You did read OP, or if not the title of the thread?

From your link: ”The capabilities in this package, valued at up to $150 million” Let’s compare that to the $14.3 Billion Israel aid package unveiled by the GOP and the US Federal Government Budget 2023, estimated to be $6.3 Trillion. This Biden profligacy that seems to bother you represents fractionally over 1% of the handout the GOP are eager to give Israel and 0.00235% of the Federal Budget. I accept $150 million might seem a great deal of money to those whose frame of reference is a very much smaller and significantly weaker economy, but in US Federal Government Budget terms it’s chump change.

I think a late switch out of Trump for a right field candidate is likely.

It’s always difficult explaining US Government process to people who have likely never set foot in the place. There’s a thread just opened on the House GOP Unveiling a $14.3 Billion aid package to Israel. House is Congress and GOP is not President Biden.

It would be even more of a positive step if they were able to vote for an MP representing expats, an expat constituency. As French expats already do.

Their respective fund raising tally suggests otherwise. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/10/15/politics/joe-biden-2024-reelection-fundraising/index.html

A small detail of US Government Budgets you seem ignorant of. Congress sets them, not the President.

Let’s get back to the thread and in the increasingly obvious fact Sunak can’t hold the Tory party together, which particular flavour of Tory fruitcake hopes to make a comeback. I’m of course referring to that darling of the right who came within hours of destroying the nation’s pension industry and who has single handedly massively increased to mortgage interest being paid by millions of people who get to vote at the next election. Yes the dangerous lunatic is your very own favourite Liz Truss.

Why do you ask? Diane Abbott is very clearly living rent free in your head, ready to pop out whenever you are in need of an off topic diversion away from Tory problems.

Perhaps Google doesn’t reach that place where you pull your claims from. Here’s something for you to grasp: ”Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source.”

OK teacher.

Deutsche Bank certainly paid a pretty price for dealing with Trump, but do you have any evidence that in this current Trump fraud case the bank ‘colluded’? https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2019/jul/08/what-went-wrong-at-deutsche-bank

Donny, you already used the DOJ to throw Michael Cohen back in prison for exercising his First Amendment right to write a book. OK the book was about you and you had good cause to think it might not be flattering, but it was your AG that ordered Cohen back to prison. And yes we know you want to do more of that kind of thing, we got that already. Oh, and the book Cohen was writing, that’s the one that triggered the NY investigation into your fraudulent activities, you know the fraudulent activities you are now being held accountable for in court.
