IIRC the Communist regimes placed great store on the ability to make speeches lasting 5 - 6 hours. Trump can do the same, both ramble. What percentage of people can speak without using cue cards? Perhaps you think the ability to talk through wet cement is a prerequisite for high office. I look for other attributes.

Whenever I see polls, I want to know who funded them, who the sample population was, what questions were asked. Yes Minister provided a good example of how to bend a poll to the desired result. I don't have to be American to see the Trump appeal, it's based on grievance and racism. People find it easier to go there, rather than accept the consequences of their own actions. The American author James Lee Burke predicted Trump back in 1990. His book " In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead" was eerily prescient in describing the actions of a unscrupulous populist, and the reactions of his supporters.

Is that for his campaign, or legal fees?

Trump pushes all the buttons of fear, grievance and hatred. His supporters are not smart enough to realize their situation is not the result of a Washington swamp, real or imaginary. It comes from the choices they have made in their lives. Probably as yours have.

Still winning? He's lost the E Jean Carroll case, and looks like losing again for repeating defamatory statements. He's lost the NY fraud case, all that remains is for the judge to decide how much the fine will be. And whether he can do business in NY again. Given what he has posted about Engoron and his staff, permit me to doubt Engoron will be lenient. He's lost any competent lawyers he had, the ones left are reduced to making daft motions that get laughed out of court. He has thrown allies under a bus, they are now becoming witnesses against him. If that's winning, I can't wait to see what losing looks like.

It doesn't affect me personally. It will affect a lot of other people, including the idiots who put him there. They will just get screwed again. IIRC the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly, and expecting a different result. That's where the GOP is now.

I don't know what you are talking about. I am 80 myself, and I daresay I am way smarter than any Trump supporter who donates to his campaign. Res ipsa loquitor.

I doubt you could afford to live there. I still use the lens of opportunity, and a fair go. Neither exist in Australia anymore. In 1970, I bought a house in Melbourne. I paid off the mortgage within 18 months, which greatly displeased the bank manager I got the home loan from. If one is on less than a six-figure income in Australia, owning a home is an impossible dream.

It could be a new thing, as age and incontinence go hand in hand. When people lambast Joe Biden over his age, they conveniently forget Trump is only 4 years younger than him. Listening to them both, IMO Biden is far more coherent. Trump repeats himself with non sequiturs endlessly.

AFAIK the O-A visa requires health insurance, the non-O retirement visa does not. There is always insurance available, the question is whether the premium breaks the bank. Language will be a challenge for them, unless the carers etc. are proficient in English. AS cmjl has said, a run of 2-3 months would give everyone an opportunity to see how they handle change.

A battery is a chemical reaction which produces electricity. All chemical reactions are slower when it is cold. Cold has several effects on EV's. It reduces the operating range of the EV by up to 40%. It also increases the charging time of the battery from 20 minutes to several hours. ICE's use waste heat to warm the cabin, EV's have to heat the car from the battery. It's quite obvious EV owners in those regions are having second thoughts about the wisdom of their purchase.

Trump is a cult. Cults have characteristics in common. The cult leader screws the followers for everything he/she wants. The followers believe everything the leader says. If Trump was to say the sun rises in the west, there would be a number of followers who would accept the statement as gospel, even when it contradicts what they see. Classic doublethink. If you expect me to respect people with the brains of a gnat, and refrain from insulting them, dream on. As far as swamps go, Trump removed all the alligators, and restocked it with crocodiles.

Kinzinger has said people should wear a gas mask around Trump, due to his pronounced body odor. That is a defamatory statement. Although if true, it is not considered to be so, except in Thailand.

They need to hold their noses, according to former GOP rep Adam Kinzinger. It's noticeable the Trump camp seems to be unable to come up with anything in rebuttal. I would have expected a lawsuit for defamation by now.

I am wondering when Trump acolytes will give up on the bullsh!t 91 indictments are all politically motivated and controlled by the Dems. It's double think when a lot of the witnesses in the various trials are Republicans.

The Indians give them a run for their money.

Most countries are proud of their culture. The greatness of a country depends on the lens which is used to view it. Back in the sixties, Australia was the greatest country on earth in terms of opportunity for the average citizen. China has a very long history, not all of it has been savory. IMO there is little difference between the aspects of Chinese culture the OP admires, and what I have encountered in Thailand.

You have everybody's votes 10 months before it happens? Can I buy your crystal ball? I do have 2 baht to pay for it.

A successful businessman with a $250 million or more fine looming, loss-making golf courses, six or seven company bankruptcies, a failed airline, failed university, social platform losing money hand over fist. Trying to raise campaign money ( read: paying the few lawyers still left who will work for him ) with trading cards. Yeah right. The party occupying the White House doesn't have primaries, keep up please.

Putin first, Trump second.

Republicans vote Republican, Democrats vote Democrat. 72% of Republicans means nothing, it's the swing voters. Approval ratings almost a year before an election also mean nothing.

Trump is popular with 50.9% of Republican voters in a Republican state. That means 49% of Republicans preferred someone else. IMO the chances of Republican voters abstaining are quite good. Anyone else - Haley, DeSantis or even Christie could win against Biden. Trump will lose even worse than he did in 2020, with the stench of 91 indictments still on trial.

I am fascinated by mentalities so twisted they believe the Trump indictments are not about exposing national secrets to all and sundry, defrauding banks, and inciting insurrection. Claiming 91 indictments are ALL political is a bridge too far for anyone capable of rational thought.

I would anticipate Biden is going to demolish Trump in debates, he has so much material to work with. This is a clip of Biden responding to someone in his audience who had a fall, IMO he has his wits about him. Given you only get his name spelled right 50% of the time, it doesn't say much about your own brain cells. Biden： “You ok？ I want the press to know that wasn't me.” #joebiden #usa #trump #biden #president.webm

Perhaps it would be simpler for the OP to buy his vitamins from iHerb in America, all I need with them is a debit card. https://th.iherb.com/
