As I said, I'll just let you be wrong and leave it at that.

I've heard numerous times it's best to wait until a motor vehicle license is expired before renewing.

The BEST thing that came from my divorce was a bankruptcy. I couldn't even get a gas credit card for five years. This taught me to live within my means, which then taught me to save/invest, and the rest is history. Enough money that I will never again have to worry about it, an exceptional credit rating, and a life I never would have thought in a million years I'd be living. It breaks my heart to see the people here, one of the wealthiest nations on the planet, drowning in household debt. Poverty is a man made construct and it is sickening to see.

With dyed-in-the-wool idiots, it's best not to argue with them, just let them be wrong.

Same as asking what's the best tasting beer. Everyone has their own opinion, their own likes/dislikes.

I had the good furtune to be offered an early retirement at age 46 due to a Navy base closure which I jumped on. What this afforded me was to think about what adventures I'd like to try. I worked a contract for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines which I'd probably still be doing except you had to work 7 days a week. We all need a weekly day off. After that, I decided after over a decade of being a scuba Divemaster that I'd get my Instructor certification. Thailand reportedly had one of the three best courses, so I came to try that. Nice for a few years but working so hard for NO money (not even tips) didn't set well. OK, I want to stay in Thailand, what am I qualified to do? Teaching English was a logical choice. And I'm STILL doing that now, though I fell into a sweet gig - part time, and I am my own master at this school. Works well for them, works well for me, and I plan on staying at this school as long as my body will allow it. Bottom line - I've had periods of complete retirement and found myself bored to tears. I really believe having a reason to look forward to weekends instead of EVERY day being a Saturday is the way to go.

I pretty much plan on carrying my passport any time I'm doing any transaction more than buying milk at 7/11. Better safe than sorry.

For the most part, I'm staying out of this nonsense thread any more. Cultists keep throwing Faux Noise as their source and this is a waste of time. The latest bs - three Faux reps are talking to Don the con shortly after his conviction. During this spew of crap, the convict says "I never said 'Lock her up.'" AND NONE OF THE REPS CHECKED HIM ON THAT! They just looked on, dumb and stupid. They are knowingly ignoring his lies. Liars supporting liars. All of them guilty.

whatever

Nope, not taking that bait any more, wasting my time showing you proof. You'd either ignore it, or trot your fanny over to those lying liars Fox Not News and dig up some more lies. THAT'S how I know you don't care. Judge you by your past.

They're either trolling or too far gone into the cult to be saved. The good news is they are a dying breed. They know, too, and are doing everything they can in desparation to fix it so they stay in control. It's like trying to keep your sand castle from getting destroyed by the incoming tide. Vote for Biden, it's really all we can do here. Anything else is a waste of time and electrons.

Cultists are outside convict's apartment building calling for death to the jurors. But you don't care.

Even his hair looks deflated. He is already old and looks like he's aged enough now to be Biden's father. Bottom line (as a mod recently pointed out) no one here is going to change minds, they are set. All we can do now is vote, early and often (kidding!!!). When he loses, it's not the violence his cult followers will bring that worries me.The concentration camps he would have established were what I'd be afraid of. But that's not gonna happen.

I usually don't care what country these stories are about, but this one? I'm curious. Russians evading war? American backpackers who didn't think things through?

Too many people. Fewer people, fewer plant-based cows, fewer farts. Humans are the problem in this equation.

These are my plant-based meats.

And a historic divide between the haves and the have-nots.

DOJ and intelligence agencies are not the same. If you don't understand this, then you shouldn't be posting about politics until you brush up on civics. Or was this just another red herring?

NOW you're just plain trolling. It's been pointed out again and again Biden and DOJ are completely separate. Biden does not direct their actions.

Let’s have your evidence that Biden had any part in the prosecution of Convicted Felon Trump. No evidence available cuz it didn't happen. Those are facts.

More blah blah blah. I can whip up as many polls that counter yours If I want, but it's a waste of time. November is the only important poll.

You are confusing facts to fit your warped narrative, classic red herring. Yes, Biden reportedly showered with his daughter which I personally find wildly inappropriate. Yes, the convicted felon has said dozens of times he plans to use the government to target political enemies. The two have NOTHING to do with each other. https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-investigations/trump-has-threatened-dozens-of-times-to-use-the-government-to-target-political-enemies/

No, those are just lies to deflect from the convicted felon whole INTENTIONALLY stole dozens and dozens of boxes of highly classified documents then tried to cover up. We don't know why the convicted felon did this yet, but it is clear that he does everything with transactional motives. To say he was planning to sell them would not be a stretch of the imagination.

Yeah, and Hillary was odds on favorite to beat the guy before he was a convicted felon. Polls don't mean a thing until November.

I wish to GAWD you people would stop referring to "Biden's DOJ." It is not his, it is an autonomous body. You are confusing this with the convicted criminal's intent to weaponize the DOJ to attack his personal enemies. He has stated this again and again. Please try to keep the facts straight.
