I grew up in the USA and only left when I retired in 2015. What possibly made you think that I was not American??

Trump will ride this event into another term or possibly two. God help us. Massive damage ahead for the USA.

Anyone who thinks that the Secret Service would collude with Trump to fake an assassination attempt is as crazy as he is. This was a mentally ill young man who had access to his father's semi-automatic rifle. Nuts and guns do not mix.

When you beat your employees, there are usually consequences.

Merely an unfortunate choice of words. No more. Conspiracy nuts begone!!

Stand by for a ton of conspiracy theories in the wake of the attempt on Trump's life. I'm not buying any of that. This was pure incompetence by the Secret Service. How could a gunman get access to a roof under those circumstances? President Biden has reason to worry about his own safety if this is the best they can do. Trump has pulled a "Teddy Roosevelt" and may just grab an extra couple of terms as he becomes a near martyr.

I won't allow my contempt for Trump to blind me to the fact that he has a very good chance at another term or possibly two. I made that mistake in 2016. because I could not believe that Americans would vote this monster into office. I realized then that I had lost the ability to call elections. I want to see Trump out at any cost. I am tired of stupidity and incompetence.

We will recover from Trump, just as we have recovered from many other crisis-situations. One man cannot sink the ship of state. Trump will be dead soon and his MAGA followers will have no place to go.

Kamala Harris cannot beat Trump. She is competent in many areas but she wont defeat the Trump machine. He is on track for another term, possibly two. God help us.

My first trip to Thailand was right after September 11, I found a flight for 500 dollars. Best investment I ever made.

You are obviously in search of an argument. Go on to the next one. I won't be this hour's victim.

How the HELL do you use Xanax for "recreation"???? It is primarily anti-anxiety. Most of us do not want anxiety in our lives. Anything that mitigates that problem is good, not "recreational".

Merely indicative of the usual money snob quote from members of this forum. Even though I draw about100 thousand baht a month in retirement income, there are many on this forum who consider me a backpacker. This attitude is what drives the Immigration idea that Thailand needs only wealthy expats.

The usual definition of "farang riff-raff" on this forum is anyone with a retirement income of less than 500 thousand USD.

You have NO understanding of the Thai mindset. You are farang forever. Thai citizenship means very little to the average Thai. Try to get into the Grand Palace without paying the "farang price".
