  1. I'm as good as my last round of golf. I am not in any competition to start topics. I've also learned the opinions of others don't really matter.
  2. Thanks for the confirmation. Bye now.
  3. I guess claiming a penthouse floor area is three times its actual size is not fraudulent in your world.
  4. Being a hotel manager requires accounting skills, and very good people management skills. A 200+ room hotel usually requires 50+ employees. With all the OP's ailments, IMO he could not handle the stress.
  5. Trump is notorious for wanting to be worshiped, and thinking he is the smartest person in the room. Susie Wiles has a long history with Trump. If she is as smart as people claim, that may collide with Trump's fragile ego. The pattern in Trump's first term was Trump praising each appointment, then dumping them. His White House set a record for discards.
  6. It must be wonderful to be so healthy you have never had to shell out a fortune in medications and surgery, or lost your job due to prolonged illness, putting you on the dole queue. Please tell us how marvelous the American health system is, and how Trump is going to fix it. Apparently he never got around to it in his first term, too busy playing golf.
  7. Sounds like another Trump thug to me.
  8. Just be careful you don't get an infection from kissing their feet. Local hospitals tend to be hit and miss with antibiotics.
  9. Please show me one of my posts where I predicted Harris would win. I make predictions on the basis of policies and scientific data. There is nothing scientific about polling. I agree there are some people who are comfortable with never working, and living off welfare. That's used as an excuse to demonize the whole cohort, when many people end up on welfare through a combination of unfortunate circumstances.
  10. IMO Americans overseas are probably more traveled and better educated than the average American back home. If I saw an American with a MAGA cap or shirt, no point in talking to them. It would be like talking to a Mormon or Jehovah's Witness.
  11. Is it just me, or do others notice these threads are almost always started by tax advisers?
  12. Let's see if you feel the same way after your Social Security and Medicare get slashed.
  13. Trump downplayed the pandemic, admitted he did to Bob Woodward. Held maskless rallies. Refused to wear a mask because it smudged his makeup. Put his entire security detail at risk. When he did get COVID, he had the best medical care the American taxpayer could provide. The red states had a higher death rate than the blue states, you think that was a coincidence? Australia had a low death rate from COVID, due to early border closures and isolation mandates. The US had a much higher death rate, due to delayed response ( Trump ), lack of a co-ordinated national response, and vaccine hesitancy. "not Trump's fault"? He probably killed a few hundred thousand Americans with his procrastination.
  14. There's no doubt Trump taking control of the White House will lead to the DOJ being staffed with sycophants. The cases against him will be shelved. He's a criminal, who has escaped justice.
  15. Shilling for a tax adviser. If they do, they also know my money and investments predate 2024, and are therefore not taxable. Thanks for stopping by.
  16. I am pretty sure things won't get better under Trump. His policies will not make the lot of poor people better, and may well make them a lot worse off. Basic economics. Putin has a propaganda machine to convince Russians everything is hunky-dory, when in fact the economy is going down the toilet. A 21% bank interest rate is a fair indicator. I fully expect Trump to be creating a spin department for American consumption.
  17. Look over there - how novel. IIRC Trump torpedoed a bipartisan agreement for border control, because he wanted it as an election issue. Yet more proof America is not normal.
  18. "Any honeymoon can evaporate in an instant". I give it 3-6 months, then Americans will be at each others' throats again. Maybe less, if Musk has a free hand.
  19. It's easy enough for the economically literate to predict the outcomes of what Trump has promised to do.
  20. The turkeys have voted for Christmas. Let the slaughter begin.
  21. Vets may have it. They use it to deworm horses.
  22. You are assuming I will be berating and cursing Americans. I'm more likely to shun them. A MAGA cap or T-shirt would be the identifier of a moron. IMO America cannot be described as normal. A country that trains its schoolchildren how to avoid getting shot at school, has the highest prison population in the world, and votes a felon into its highest office - normal?
  23. 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.
  24. IIRC I have explained the German term schadenfreude to you before. Enjoy the moment before getting back to the miserable life you lead.
  25. I expect there will be a lot of Americans saying they did not vote for Trump, and being defensive.
