Taking a quick browse of your comments, you're just a mean spirited troll. Buh bye.

Sorry, but would you read the comment I was replying to?????

We're talking about Gov of California. AOC has nothing to do with a race like that.

As if they hadn't already pissed off Canada enough. He gets his info from the people he meets up with at all the sporting events he attends instead of doing his actual job. It will be interesting to see how the next 3.5 years go. If the US isn't attacked and brought to her knees due to the intense ineptitude of this administration, maybe it will prove gubmint actually isn't as necessary as we all thought.

Let's see if she goes through a FAIR primary. I highly doubt she can win in the higher political races.

You know, I understand the hate that brews in the political soap box, but goddamn people, if you don't like Lewie's posts then DON'T READ THEM. You know exactly what to expect. Thanks Lewie,

Just cuz you don't like the laws does not give you the right to break them no matter who you are. Is this too deep for you?

There's this pesky little thing called "rule of law." It is what separates the US from most other countries. This allows for legitimate ways to change laws you don't like. Otherwise the US just becomes another rogue state, the president just another despot. Is that what you are advocating?

Kings (or king wannabes) don't need to observe any laws. Duh.

Doesn't a passport satisfy this already?

Next thing you know, you'll be claiming 47 never wipes his arse, that he performs immaculate excretion.

Love it. Now let's see how long this post stands . . .

This isn't the first time you've made a post like this. If you don't like it, don't click on the topic. It's quite easy to see who is posting from the avatar. Many of us enjoy a rather disjointed but eloquently written story. Lewie gets a lot of likes and more than a few conversations stem from the stories. You get a yellow flag and a yawn yourself. 🥱

The United States' international credit rating is now the lowest it's been in over 100 years. Apparently, no one accepts Qatari jets as collateral.

Only to people who don't like their analysis. In this case, people wearing red hats don't like accepting this truth.

Current administration is ALREADY blaming it on Obama and Clinton. This is just another weak attempt at avoiding accepting the truth. By any metric, the US economy was doing GREAT until January this year. I wonder what happened to cause such a weakening of the economy?

I wonder about the same thing about Nazi sympathizers in Germany. We all know they still exist, and among those who openly admit it, their numbers went from 25,000 registered right-wing extremists in 2010 to 33,300 in 2020. I hate to say, but this current poor excuse for a human being who plops his fat ass behind the resolute desk has emboldened them to crawl out from under the slimy rocks they've been hiding under for so long. This is a sad statement of the species that I don't think will leave any time soon. I've posted this once, I'll post it again:

I've only had to renew mine once from Thailand. I used this outfit: https://thaivisa-express.com/ They caught a mistake made by the idiots at the photo shop - I had told them I needed US-sized photos, they gave me UK, and to the untrained eye they look very similar. That alone saved my months of wondering where in the world (literally) my passport was. They appear to do UK passports according to their website but they do US as well, maybe other countries. And the gals at the desk are very easy on the eyes. WELL worth the price.

Made in GYNA = China? About America being the greatest, I'd take issue with that. It USED to be the GOAT just after WW II, creating the most robust economy in the written history of the planet. A single earner could raise a family, send kids to nice schools, buy a car, etc. However, it's been going steadily downhill since. This decline has been accelerated with the SCOTUS decision to let dark money into politics, and now both sides of the aisle are more beholden to their corporate masters than their constituents. As a result we have entered A Golden Age 2.0. Can the US get back to a more fair and equitable state of being? Hope springs eternal but I wouldn't bet on it happening for at least two or three generations from now - if ever. The militarization of the police force (and this has been happening under Dems and Reps alike) has created an atmosphere of societal submission. Once in power, politicians are reluctant to let it go. Time will tell.

Say what you will, Lewie certainly gets the conversations going.

And they say Dems overreact?

I have both Kasikorn and SCB Bank savings accounts for regular use. Kasikorn has a slightly better exchange rate when dealing with cash than SCB. Both have easy-to-use phone apps. Kasikorn has a website I've found useless and SCB used to have a great website but they discontinued about a year ago.

The few items I buy (milk, a rice/meat quick meal, etc) are always the same price regardless of the 7/11 or the city they're in.

Some countries will put you to death for that "right." You are unquestionably "wrong."
