  1. Or that belief in and support for the USA, with all it faults has been totally lost by the majority working middle class (bulk of the population). Not only a complete surrender but a repudiation of a failed system. I fear it is a possibility.
  2. Only question I would ask, if the unisex facilities are easily accessible to the members and staff serving in the House or Senate? If so, then it only boils down to grandstanding as it is a non-issue already accommodated.
  3. Agree. I favor continuous review of laws/regulation to see if the original need is still present, if they need to be modified or done away with entirely. I am thinking the fear is, on the basis of Trump's and Project 2015 rhetoric, that this will be done whole to make an unthinking point of disrupting the status quo. Same as I understand the justified frustration/anger within the working middle class but ... the attack on the US Capitol? A bridge too far ...
  4. Fortunately, much of the globe has not been inflicted by the "Puritan Ethic" and demanding sexual conformity. One of Thailand's great social attractions is "sabzi, sabbi". Personal orientation is left to the individual.
  5. Sorry, Pattaya unknown but ... recommend looking at Rutnin Eye Hospital (Asoke & Montri), Bangkok. They only do eyes. Wore glasses since 5th grade. 2017 had my natural lens taken out and prescription lens inserted. Now only "reading" glasses.
  6. I had really hoped for a rejection of Trump and his Project 2025 ilk ... with the result that the Democrats would have to put up or shut up as supporting the working middle class. "Lemonade out of Lemons"? Well, documented history tells me that there is no hope of the Trump party addressing the justified frustration/anger within the working middle class. So, that pent up feeling will be postponed ... for how long? I do not know. Will it take four more years?
  7. Wow! I did not know that my earned U.S. Social Security of $1570.00 (use) per month was more than people in Europe get as a salary!
  8. Many on here will go to there graves denouncing documented history up to the present. As to the future, my thought, "well see said the Zen Master (tip of the hat to the movie, "Charlie Wilson's War".
  9. Unfortunately for me in these questionable US times, my Irish roots date from Great Grandparents.
  10. Incompetent to stand trial defense in the works?
  11. Yesterday, 1st time in 13 years I found I had missed a 90 Day Report somehow (not showing up in my calendar. Drive through, Chiang Mai Immigration. 2000 baht fine, had to circle around to sign for the fine, collect the new 90 Day Report. Next up Jan. 29.
  12. As he lost the American popular vote by 3 million in 2016, by 7 million in 2020 ... hmm, loser in the support of the majority of American voters. According to his documented personal and business history ... my judgement, in my estimation of this man ... loser. Others, of course are free to support such a person.
  13. "Harris dad taught Marist Economics" - true. That makes Harris dad a Marist - false. I taught American History - true. That makes me an American - false.
  14. Hmm, the findings and reasoning are publicly available to all.
  15. Ferderal law will supersede when found by the SCOTUS, at the historical period, to be Constitutional Our history is replete with different findings at different times. Thus the 50 years of finding that Roe was constitutional only to be found unconstitutional by the Trump/McConnell Court. Yes, I am aware of the history of reversal of SCOTUS decisions over time. Yes, I am aware of state laws being enforced until the majority of the population demanded/supported the overturning of the state laws by changing the Constitution through Amendments.
