IIRC you accused me of TDS. Seems there is BDS as well.

You don't argue over parking spaces with Thais. In Thailand, it's prudent to learn which battles to pick, and when to walk away.

I associate with other expats via sport. As for sitting in bars or joining expat clubs to listen to others bitch about the world - hell no. I can do that here.

His wounds are self-inflicted, nothing to do with the Dems, everything to do with his criminality and the American justice system. His supporters swallow his lies, they are losers, just like him. $83 million E Jean Carroll, anywhere between $300 and $500 million for the NY fraud. $55 million gone on lawyers who can't defend him, because he won't keep his mouth shut. Hope away. As Bill Barr ( former ally ) said, he's toast.

Which people is Biden trying to jail? AFAIK the criminal justice system is separated from the executive branch of government. As usual, your posts are long on opinion, short on facts.

I thought the OP's alter ego, bignok, had been all over Thailand. Perhaps this is what lawyers call a fishing expedition. I have probably driven through Kaphaeng Pet without even realizing it. The others, yes.

There are ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians. Staff in stores are opticians. Opticians are technicians who fit eyeglasses, contact lenses, and other vision-correcting devices. Optometrists examine, diagnose, and treat patients' eyes. Ophthalmologists are eye doctors who perform medical and surgical treatments for eye conditions.

How do you have wars and inflation when the world is in the middle of a pandemic? One of your more egregiously dumb posts.

IMO it is entirely logical to fear a person who is on record saying he wants to be a dictator for a day, so he can take revenge on anyone who has opposed him. I don't think there is any doubt, from his posts and actions, that Trump is vindictive.

Coolant mixing with oil is a train wreck already. Coolant has a lot of ethylene or propylene glycol in it, apart from water. They are not lubricants, although they may act to emulsify oil. The cylinders will score, from ineffective lubrication and carbonization. It's engine seizure waiting to happen. The reverse is also true, oil in coolant is attacking all the seals and polymers in the water pump and radiator train. IMO either leave it in the garage until you can afford to fix it, or sell it.

You are probably correct on the first opinion, Trump will probably just give Putin, Xi and Kim what they want. IMO America is in a civil war already, although there is nothing civil about it.

Solar power IMO will become almost the only decision when batteries catch up to solar panels, in terms of affordability. When I installed solar panels on my house in Australia ( one of the first to do so ), my feed-in tariff was 66.5 cents/kWh, and my quarterly power bill was about $2. Those days are long gone, as grid suppliers realize their market is shrinking.

It's an extremely depressing thought there are that many imbeciles in the world, let alone in a single nation.

Working out solutions with despots doesn't work, ask Chamberlain. The war will stop either when Putin runs out of money, armaments and men to prosecute it, or the Ukrainians kick the Russians out. Trump is only useful to Putin.

Where is your proof?

You think they should be free? IME military courses are usually cheaper than their private club counterparts.

His trolling posts would be tolerable if they were not so stupid.

It's what the man has said himself.

America IS staying out of the war in Ukraine. There are no boots on the ground. The money the US and EU are sending to Ukraine is not wasted, it is thwarting Putin's desire to take over all of Eastern Europe again. Thriving economies are good for the US as well, stagnant command-style economies are not. When the EU stopped buying Russian oil and gas, who do you think replaced Russia as a supplier? The US shale oil industry is booming. When buyers of Russian armaments saw how easily they were destroyed in Ukraine, who do you think started buying more equipment from the US? It's a multi-billion dollar market. Conclusion: The US is not wasting money. Its manufacturing industry is going gangbusters..

Begging the question.

What war has the US started in the last two years? Catch up with reality some more, espionage does not stop when there are no wars.

So does Trump. Catch up some more.

Freedom is being able to say or post anything reasonably rational on social media, without fear of being fined or locked up. Some people even get away with deranged stuff. That does not apply in Putin's Russia. Given the bitterness you have displayed on your life situation, and your misadventures in Thailand, I'd say you need a shrink far more than I do.

It's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil, noisy minorities get all the press. Biden's campaign is only getting started, it has far more funds to fight with. Trump's campaign funds are going on his legal bills. IMO Biden will win, Trump will have too much baggage on election day, assuming he is not in a jail cell by then.
