  1. Googles your friend, man. Trump is way down the list with 220, fewer than Obama with 276, fewer than Carter with 320. Even less than FDR who signed 3,721. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1125024/us-presidents-executive-orders/
  2. He didn't so much win, it was that the other side lost....bigly. But who didn't see that coming? She was second to last in the 2020 primaries, dropping out before Iowa, thus not being burdened by what could be delegates. I mean, like, c'mon, man! DEI token hire lost to Biden along with every other potential candidate except some guy I don't remember from some flyover state nobody cares about.
  3. Obama is still in the lead in terms of executive orders to murder American citizens by drone strike without trial. "Fired up! Ready to go!"®
  4. Filed a joint return online. Received a text message to upload a copy of marriage certificate.
  5. Filed online. After I hit the "submit" button, processing took about 30 seconds. Immediately downloaded a copy of the return, couple days later logged on to check status, saw approved, downloaded receipt.
  6. I'm afraid that's on you. Why din't you just say "I'm not ready to file yet, I'm waiting for more bank statements to arrive by post. I still have until end of March, but thanks so much for the offer to help." Then go home and have your Thai wife submit a joint filing online. You only declare assessable remittances, so you don't need supporting documentation for exempt income or prior savings. You would have them available at home in your files in the very, very unlikely event you were asked to provide them.
  7. I said, “Nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars.” They said, “You have no authority. You’re not the president.” The president said—I said, “Call him.” I said, “I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars.” I said, “You’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours.” I looked at them and said, “I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.” Well, son of a bitch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.
  8. I believe you get an extra eight days to file online, April 8 deadline.
  9. First pharmacy I visited this afternoon had Tramadol, two brands, both 50mg in blister packs of 10 for 65 baht. No request to see prescription or provide ID, and apparently no limit. Pharmacist lady offered to see me the whole box, with a 5-baht per strip discount.
  10. President Donald Trump has unleashed Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) on the Pentagon’s $824 billion budget, and honestly, it was about time. The announcement came today during a press conference at the White House with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Trump shared that they are gonna be auditing the Defense Department after it failed its 7th consecutive audit. The Pentagon, drowning in financial confusion, couldn’t explain 63% of its $3.8 trillion assets in 2024, as Cryptopolitan reported. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/us-president-trump-says-elon-musk-s-doge-will-audit-the-pentagon/ar-AA1yCA2n
  11. Gosh, he's "disintegrated" more Americans than Trump, so that put's him much further along the slipperly sloping roof of fascism.
  12. If ya order the execution of American citizens by drone strike without trial, ya just might be a fascist.
  13. Mean tweets. Don't care. I'm unburdened by what might have been truthy. $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities” $70,000 for production of a “DEI musical” in Ireland $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations — even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation Millions to EcoHealth Alliance — which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab “Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria” Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries Cut it now, cut it all, burn it down, nuke it from orbit, if only half of this is true.
  14. Not quite. I said I don't care about political posturing and mean tweets on X. It's not like our government officials have any credibility left. Cut the damn budget already.
  15. Don't care. If they can cut the fraud and waste, go for it. Who complains that the government doesn't spend enough?
  16. Exactly. For some other banks, a deposit/withdrawal is required to do the update, at least for fixed accounts. OP has Bangkok Bank that can do a balance forward either at the desk or machine without a transaction.
  17. Until then, have your wife call TRD helpline #1161 to get valid information.
  18. Bangkok Bank will update the passbook (savings or fixed) without requiring a deposit. IO's at CW have never asked ME to show transaction on that day.
  19. False. You file if your assessable income is over 60K, or 120K if married filing joint. US social security is exempt by DTA, non-assessable, not reported. You have no assessable income, do not need to file, nor would you need a TIN. I assume your wife has been filing her own taxes as married filing separate, and you have not filed up til now. Or has she been filing jointly for the allowances, and you didn't know? You could either file jointly with your wife, you will have no income other than bank interest. She could claim the spouse allowance, and probably also the handicapped allowance. I don't know what documentation would be required for that. Or you could file separate. Assume you have a pink ID, so get it activated, then file a null return online. When you do this you can claim a refund of bank interest withholding tax. The handicap allowance is 190K. You could claim that until you turn 65, and then claim the old age 190K allowance. (only one) ***NOT AN EXPERT, NOT ADVICE, OPINION ONLY***
  20. That the aircraft was a Boeing had everything to do with it.
  21. Depends on your situation. Roth conversion is added to ordinary income. Take a year sabbatical with no salary, maybe harvest a stock loss. Take another year-long vacation........lather, rinse, repeat.
  22. If you can find a video clip featuring a Thai official stating this or some TRD document that confirms this, you will be our hero! Would be the simplest method of documentation, producing a Dec 31 2023 brokerage statement. That would set cost basis at NAV on that date.
