The only bank account Immigration knows about is the 800 K baht on deposit. I have two other accounts here they know nothing about. I do not have a Thai tax number. I have a pink Thai ID card which is occasionally useful. The TRD is welcome to the tax on the pitiful interest I earn on accounts here. I am not interested in claiming it back. The Thai government knows nothing about the investments and bank account I have in Australia. Everyone has copies of our passports, true. So what? No skin off my nose if Thailand wants to drown itself in paper.

IIRC I have explained the German term schadenfreude to you before. Enjoy the moment before getting back to the miserable life you lead.

I expect there will be a lot of Americans saying they did not vote for Trump, and being defensive.

I am saying vows get broken, and sometimes get channeled elsewhere. The celibacy vow was never intended to attain more holiness/sanctity. It was all about protecting church property from relationship and inheritance claims by partners and off spring.

And send the people importing them for work at slave wages to jail. Illegal aliens don't get to their destinations without collusion. Oh wait, Trump was using undocumented workers..........

There have been death treats made against Obama, starting in 2008 and going all the way to 2023. IMO MAGA supporters are far more likely to be armed and dangerous. IIRC "libtards" are the ones advocating gun control.

Shooting the messenger and belittling me simply demonstrates you are as dumb as a can of soup. Bye bye.

I don't need to read any of those. I understand thermodynamics, clearly you don't.

All of what you say may be true. However, IMO many Americans don't understand the ramifications of what they voted for. No other intelligence agency in the world will share information with America. Not when Trump is purging experienced operatives, and appointing political sycophants. No other country will put trust in anything your President says. Expect property insurance premiums to skyrocket with a climate denier in charge. Helene and Milton are just the beginning. Americans may become party to a genocide in Ukraine. Trump policies will benefit the rich. The poor who voted for him will find their Social Security and Medicare benefits reduced, and their purchasing power diminished by the inflationary effects of tax cuts and a tariff war. You talk about scamming the public. It will be interesting to see how many people get thrown under the bus in the next 4 years. IMO buyer's remorse won't take long.

If your wife is Thai, it's possible you will be below the taxable thresholds. IIRC it's about 550,000 baht in various allowances.

There is no evidence any ethnic or religious groups are more prone to pedophilia than others. There is evidence people in authority over children increases the risk of pedophilia, with celibacy vows adding to the risk factor.

IMO there are certain groups who will be more prone to pedophilia. When natural sexual instincts are thwarted by conventions of celibacy or chastity, it is statistically inevitable some in said groups will deviate to pedophilia.

There will be intensifying hurricanes, tornadoes, forest fires, heat cells, droughts and floods. Helene and Milton are just the opening stanzas. Watch your property insurance premiums go through the roof. Watch Trump say his thoughts and prayers are with the victims of natural disasters. If they are lucky, he may even send them toilet rolls. I am wondering how many thermodynamic ignoramuses will be on this thread.

IMO Trump will die in office, either from senility or his unhealthy diet. He's a heart attack or stroke victim waiting to happen. He's obese. His only positive is being a teetotaller. I very much doubt he would resign due to health issues, his ego would not let him. I mean, look at Biden. He hated stepping aside.

Have I gone quiet? I'll have to get my keyboard checked. I am not a loser. I had no vote. Nothing Trump does will affect me. OTOH, I regard most Americans as losers. They a going to find that out over the next four years, and it's sad.

IMO Trump was effective in tying Harris to Biden, pointing to immigration and living costs under Biden. I understand America originated the aphorism "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". That will be put to the test in the next 4 years.

Strange. IIRC you have been quite vocal in your support of him.

Enighted is not in any English dictionary. I have no doubt you will be enlightened, when Trump's policies result in cuts to your Social Security and Medicare. Then there's the reduction in purchasing power which will come with tax cuts and a tariff war, as sure as night follows day. You voted for this, now you have it. Som nam na.

I guess competence at cheating people is more important to Americans nowadays.

Some babies toss their toys out of the pram irrespective of what mood they are in.

So much hatred of a fundamentally decent woman. So much love for a felon, fraudster, and sexual predator. A bully and a coward. IMO America has lost its mind.

Guess again, my ancestry has no taint of Sassenach blood. It's said the British did not rule the world by being nice. It's good to see you are carrying on the tradition.

Maybe. My policy has always been to fly under the radar, and give bureaucrats as little information as possible. It's also why I stay off Facebook and X.

It's probably why I have never joined an expat club.

What does a genocide on the other side of the world matter, when weighed against the need for Americans to achieve new levels of obesity?
