The '50-50 Race' Pre-Election Polls Were Phony
Wrwest replied to rwilem's topic in Political Soapbox
As has been observed, this representation is misleading as it shows land mass not people voting. Absolutely, Trump and his Project 2025 ilk won this election. And I do not care to waste time on "what ifs", awaiting concrete actions ... such as the majority of his nominees for appointed posts. Quite positive ... to carry out his stated goal of disrupting the federal government. -
The '50-50 Race' Pre-Election Polls Were Phony
Wrwest replied to rwilem's topic in Political Soapbox
While I agree, as an American, I will await the concrete results. We have a beginning in his appointments ... less than impressive qualifications for most but quite good to achieve his stated goal of disrupting the government institutions. Well, that is what my fellow Americans voted to support. Me? I am an economic refugee living in a lower cost country. I will keep my head down and sadly observe from the other side of the globe. -

Agreed, my first thought upon reading. -
The President’s Dilemma: Weighing Justice, Hunter, and Legacy
Wrwest replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Confess to having mixed emotions. Trump gets off scot free from the valid federal charges, of which, we are all aware. Commutation? Adding to the idea of the rich and famous being above the law? Or tit for tat? I really don't know the best way here. -

Agreed. Two accounts, use monthly transfers $2200.00 usd monthly) so no cumulative amount meeting the requirements. My status is an economic refugee unable to afford a sustainable working middle class retirement in the USA. -
Agreed. And thus is the place to which both major political parties have brought us through their policies, actions/inactions. I thought we might squeak by the knock down/drag out fight with the hope that the American majority would reject Trump and his Project 2025 ilk, putting overwhelming responsibility on the Democrats to “put up or shut up”. I was fully appreciative of the justified frustration/anger within the working middle class as a result of the economic squeeze over the past decades (afterall, I could not have a sustainable retirement in the USA and thus am an economic refugee in a lower cost country). OK, enough voters have declared they were not willing to take a further chance that the Democrats might follow the reasoning of Bernie Sanders and move forcefully to address the very real issues of the working middle class. We should not miss the additional message … that same voting majority has rejected the traditional Republicans also. That is why they followed Trump who has declared that, indeed the American federal government system is in need of drastic change. While some of us vehemently oppose Trump, we agree that drastic changes are needed … we find no evidence that Trump and his Project 2025 ilk will make progress forward in the interest of the working middle class. I expect any progress in this direction to stand out as an aberration in the next four years. So have at it fellow Americans … I am estranged from you as I think your choice will spell a major disaster. I feel certain that I will not be able to support nor defend most of what is about to take place. And Republicans? Congratulations, ALL responsibility is now yours … you allowed/supported him as your party’s leader again, you now have the Presidency, majorities in the House of Representatives, the Senate and thanks the Sen. McConnell (R-KY) the additional majority control of the Supreme Court of the United States.

White House Retreats from Public Eye After Trump Victory
Wrwest replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Agreed. Soundly defeated 76+ million popular vote vs 73+ million popular vote, no denying the rejection by the American voting majority. I too am feeling estranged from my country. Those who supported Trump and the Project 2025 ilk ... have at it. No, I do not wish "good luck" because while I join in the justified frustration/anger. I think following this direction to be a very serious, sad wrong decision. -
Not really a surprise from a general populace reading at the 7th-8th grade level (who are filled with justified frustration/anger at the working middle class economic squeeze). I should add ... the result of the policies, actions/inactions of both major political parties. Thus, they have rejected both the Democrats and traditional Republicans and followed Trump and his Project 2025 ilk.

I await Day One as he is actively (Trump has stated publicly) preparing a host of Executive Orders to take effect immediately. should be akin to a grenade going off and most likely, due to the impressive number of orders, impossible to take immediate effect. May we live in interesting times ... Well, this is what the majority of American voters supported by voting for Trump.

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
Wrwest replied to offset's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
While I file FBAR some years, if I do not hold over $10,000.00 usd in an account at any time during the year, I am not required to file FBAR. As to FACTA ... required only if over $50,000.00 usd so does not apply to me. -

Thailand vs Panama. Decisions Decisions!
Wrwest replied to BarBoy's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Nov. 22, 2014 Forbes had an article about retiring to Panama. -
And now to await to see if he follows through on going after those of us who witnessed Jan. 6, had access to the truthful reporting of the Georgia election interference attempt, the historically documented call for Pence to not certify the election. He will not escape the factual, documented history ...

Is this the "Little Surprise" of 47 and the Speaker?
Wrwest replied to Walker88's topic in Political Soapbox
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. -
Gop Speaker places a ban in the Capitol restrooms…
Wrwest replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
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.
