Ditto - someone that hates a politician so much like you and others here do, is not worth talking to. Policies will win this election - something Harris cannot talk about because they are the same as for the last 4 years.

The sad thing is that lefty people refuse to accept that the 2020 election was at best 'dubious' and at worst was subjected to the world case of election fraud in history. Me thinks the truth is somewhere in between. The States changed their election Laws and Rules after 2020, far far more than has been done in the last 10-20 years combined - I wonder why. Let me answer for you - because there was something not right - cannot prove it or point exactly what was wrong - but all those rules and laws were changed for a reason. We have moved on - Biden won and has been POTUS for 4 years - but we know something was just 'not right'.

Point?

And of course all denied/laughed off by the work left whose world is soon coming to an end. Even Europe, that bastion of lefty lunacy, has started to firmly reject the woke liberal ideas. I think the trans thing in USA and unvetted illegal entries has made people realise they are not sane.

Do not IMO lodge a tax return, and definitely do not engage a lawyer to do it for you as an Expat - unless you are working and/or earning money in Thailand. WAIT. The new Thai Govt has made no announcements about this issue - yet - while the Malaysian Govt has re-iterated that overseas remittances into Malaysia are tax free (if taxed back home). Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia dont tax foreign transfers of Expats. If you engage a lawyer they will make sure you have to lodge a tax return now, and do so every year going forward - to get their money from you. 7000 Baht to get a TIN is a total ripoff and there is a lot of them scammers out there - stay away and wait. The TRD will release their annual lodgement forms and advice documents soon - hopefully in that will be their requirements. Stay across things and wait - this forum will have updates and arguments - then decide yourself what is the way to go. This aint Kansas - the lawyers here are cowboys and most will rip you off - it is their modus operandi (MO) - especially when it comes to Farangs.

Right back at ya buddy

You are beyond delusional mate - you have a hatred towards a politician you have never met that is now living in your head rent free.

Obviously you need educating. Blatant means - done openly and unashamedly. It does not mean that the votes can all be checked legally months later - the court cases were 'lost' because there was no serious 'proof' of massive voter fraud, and/or the process was followed, and/or where it was not followed, there was no proof to say that it would have changed the result. Lack of proof is not lack of guilt. You are right - No - it is not easy to prove. How would you prove that in an election there was illegal votes accepted and counted. People's votes are anonymous, so impossible to verify that way. Likewise, the process in many States allowed mailed-in ballots and those deposited in ballot boxes to be accepted without serious verification. The thing you lefties are not realising/seeing is that the claims are not made against the Officials (mostly - there were some very dubious behaviours). The claims are against random people lodging lots of fake votes that were accepted and counted, as per the then current processes that were made 'flexible' due to Covid. There is a reason why nearly every State has passed laws changing how votes can be accepted and counted since 2020. They are not saying officially this means that the 2020 election should be redone, but it clearly shows that the laws were far to weak and the concern was that some people took advantage of that. There is no doubt those relaxed laws and rules allowed more people to vote, but the question will always remain - were all of that massive increase in total votes legitimate (27 million more than in 2016).

I see you are very correct on both counts. Firstly, there was blatant fraud in 2020, but just like OJ they got away with it because there was no absolute evidence to prove otherwise - being 'not guilty' does not mean they did not do it. Secondly, yes the insults and soin etc. did occur and is still occuring. Message to the lefty liberals - Yes Biden was elected POTUS in 2020 - but was it completely fair and all above board - not likely. I recall Bush got elected over Gore in 2000, because of the vote recount in Florida being stopped by SCOTUS - very dubious too. When Trump and GOP win, they will be creating a 'Federal Election Commission/Investigation' and they will be ripping into the details of the 2020 election. Not to over-turn the result - but to expose the result, and to put in place changes so that voter fraud is no longer so easy. Voter ID will be a big one - only Democrats oppose that, because they do know to truth. Likewise, mailing ballots will also be banned, except for exceptional situations (overseas etc.) - People can vote early or vote on the day - no more random boxes of ballots arriving by mail. Mail voting is strictly controlled in other countries or it is banned - USA must change those rules that allow mailed-in ballots.

Ditto - and then as a result of that case, all media organisations are forced to no longer lie and distort things to suit their own political agenda. It is one thing for a person on CNN to make a false claim/lie about Trump in an opinion piece. But this period of time is the 'electiuon cycle' and as such both Trump and Harris have been presenting 'their case' to be elected POTUS to the people. Be it a debate, interviews, rallies or whatever - the candidates are giving the People their credentials to be elected. They often quote what Trump says out of context (eg. good people on both sides), but it is another thing all together to edit the answer provided by Harris to a direct and specific question. A question that many people wanted Harris to answer, as she has avoided any real media interviews for softball puff pieces. IMO the interviewer asked a question that was perhaps too confronting and was not 'vetted' - and Harris responded so badly that the 'behind the scenes' editor/s changed her answer for political reasons.

I think Trump made a great call choosing JD Vance - Yesterday I watched (most) of his interview with Rogan, and he was extremely good. Looks like a long term POTUS candidate - who knows, maybe in 4 years time with Tulsi Gabbard as his running mate. Plus the same Trump appointed team who will have been making the country better for the last 4 years. The best campaign slogan has always been 'Four More Years', and that is something that Harris has been trying to deny and hide from. Trump is looking good in States he needs to win that Biden won last time (based on Trafalgar Group Poll) @earlinclaifornia Mate - you better get that new avatar prepared 😁 Trafalgar Group – Nationally Recognized Polling & Marketing Strategy

Besides the fact that he never said those words, the problem is that if Russia gets pushed far enough and feels it is going to collapse, will Putin and his supporters go the same way as they did under Mikhail Gorbachev, when they voluntarily backed away and resigned. The problem as I see it, is that when Boris Yeltsin then became President of the Russian State, things started to go downhill. As things started to fall apart badly within 10 years, Yeltsin was forced to resign in 1999 due to internal conflicts and protests, and Putin took over (he was PM) and he turned things around economically. and was elected President several times. So moving forward will Putin back down if Russia if it is going to collapse, or will he take down Europe with him and the country. I think it is the latter, and that NATO/USA would be wise to seek a settlement rather than trying to kill him and Russia off. And I reckon that if Russia looks like going that way/path, then China will see that it is in their best interests to join with Russia (and some other countries too). IMO China will see it that if/when Russia is destroyed, then they are next. I have believed for a long time that the West should have taken out Russia/Stalin during WW2 - and Patton said so at the time and he was right. The fact that Churchill and Roosevelt agreed with Stalin the divide up Europe once Germany was defeated, was one of the biggest atrocities of WW2. The world today would have been very different (and better IMO) that it is now, following 80 years of a 'cold war' that clearly has never really gone away. MAD is still on the table - between them China and Russia has enough armaments to destroy most of the world - and USA and NATO has even more. IMO Ukraine is not something the world should be going to war over - nor is Taiwan.

Good questions and ones that are not being asked by the western media. But if you use other social media platforms, they do ask those sort of questions. They are of course labelled as being far-right and conspiracy theorists, when they are just doing what the media should do and ask pointed and difficult questions. I think that last point is telling - the inevitable collapse of NATO which IMO will be closely following the EU falling apart. This BS 'common ideology' holding Nations together is a load of rubbish - USSR was exactly the same. The USSR in their last years ramped things up to try and force everyone to stay united - but the inevitable collapse was always certain. Same for EU and then NATO - they have become far too powerful and corrupted and no longer service their original purpose. That NATO could drag Nations into a war that their people do not care about, speaks volumes about their power. The problem with all bureaucrats is that they spread and grow like a cancer and will eventually kill the host. NATO and EU are mainly bureaucrats and they will just grow and grow unchecked and destroy the host, unless they are removed or irradiated or both.

Yep - they hate him and target him to generate hate in their delusional supporters. The reason they hate him is because they cannot control him - unlike Biden, Harris, Bushes, etc etc. But they made a huge mistake - they should have let him serve a second term. Now that he has had 4 years to review and reassess things, he has planned it all well and he now knows exactly what to do when he takes Office. This fact now terrifies them - he is not only 'uncontrollable' again, but he now knows how to get things done.

LOL - truly deluded - and unable to answer opinions or questions. The Hunter laptop story and investigation was suppressed and that probably affected the 2020 election. Same thing here - the Dems hoped that this letter would do the same - but it did not work - little boys that cry wolf eventually get eaten by the wolf. Rogan said a lot of good things about Trump too - in a 3 hour interview that you have not listened to at all but you quote one part of one sentence - got that from CNN right?? Unlike Dems who do not listen I have listened to Harris and she makes less sense in 2024 than Biden did in 2020. The BS Trump id Bad logic aint going to work this year - no matter who says it.

Mate - are you lefties all naive - I guess so. They held this back for the biggest possible impact. It was another 'October Surprise' that failed to deliver and even you can 'feel' that it has made no difference. Tsunami coming.

Wow - you really do believe all that dont you? You really dont think that the Democrat Party/MSM had anything to do with the letters? You think these people just organised it all themselves??? Surely you cannot be that 'simple'. But I guess therein lies the issue and why some people still, after 8 years, believe the Democrat and MSM lies and distortions - they are still all fake news. Most do not believe them anymore - as you will find out in November. The Joe Rogan interview with Trump had 36 million views on Youtube, and 10s of millions more on other platforms like Spotify. The MSM is going the way of the dinosaurs - and just like the dinosaurs they are, they dont know is happening.

So far the Democrat 'October Surprise' has been to have another dubious female accuse him for rape 4 decades ago, label him as a Hitler, Stalin, Fascist, and now their latest effort is a BS 'letter' signed by people who mostly were non-important staff members and some of them never met/spoke with Trump. "former trump officials' is Democrat double speak for 'disgruntled public servants'. Trump had 100s of direct staff and employees (officials) and thousands of indirect ones. The Executive Branch | The White House

Same people who 'bravely' stated that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation??? This time it will not work - the People remember all the lies from 2016 and 2020. They know this time that Trump has made political enemies and that they were sacked for being incompetent or democrat supporters.

IMO the Nth Korean troops have been sent to Ukraine for 'experience'. Nothing beats training troops in a real combat situation and that is mainly why they are participating. China cannot do the same because they have strategic issues with USA, but they probably will if USA deploys their troops to Ukraine. Likewise, most European countries have not sent their troops into Ukraine (only 'advisers') because they fear this could lead to an escalation and their own countries could be under attack.

If Ukraine is allowed to send long range missiles into Russia (Moscow etc.) that would be like Sth Korean forces using USA missiles in the Korean war and bombing Beijing - it would only lead to a massive escalation that would hurt and kill millions. Only war-mongers want that to happen - and the US military industrial complex that is getting very rich of this war. NATO had better not allow that, or the people and political leaders of those European countries in NATO will pay the price. This is a war like Afghanistan or Korea - the 'big boys' are each supporting one of the sides, both by supplying equipment and troops. But if it escalates and becomes a war between Russia and NATO, the world will pay a huge price. Right now NATO/USA are using this war for 'political purposes', and their overall 'tactic' is to drain the economic resources of Russia. They do not really care about Ukraine or Ukrainian people - they just hate Russia. Escalation because Ukraine is losing (or for whatever reason), must be avoided or it will be a full-scale war and whatever happens, the Russian and European people will lose (just like last time).

What could possibly go wrong??

More great news coming from Thailand showing what sort of Government Thais have and how those in power can get away with things. Red Bull story will be the same, because the legal process here is too old and corrupted. The Police cannot even arrest someone suspected of a crime - unless the evidence is overwhelming and in front of them - they have to get a warrant first. The legal system here is too complex and inefficient - perfect for those that want the ability to get away with things whenever needed.

John Cleese - @JohnCleese (Twitter X) Some years ago I opined that London was not really an English city any more Since then, virtually all my friends from abroad have confirmed my observation So there must be some truth in it... I note also that London was the UK city that voted most strongly to remain in the EU. John Cleese criticised for saying London no longer an English city | John Cleese | The Guardian John Cleese criticised for saying London no longer an English city. Sadiq Khan and comedian Dom Joly among those condemning ‘racist’ and ‘hypocritical’ claims. John Cleese is the atypical and quintessential Englishman and he has been saying since 2011 that the massive amount of immigration (legal and illegal) has made London into a City that is not 'English' anymore. The protests made by people are not about the new people or their race or their religion - it is a protest about the fact that they are not integrating and refuse to accept English culture and social norms. It was a protest against the failed social nonsense called multi-culturalism, that failed to recognise that there are some people who will never adapt or adopt, and they should not be allowed to stay in England if they dont. They dont have to go to the cricket and eat pork pies, but they must accept English traditions, and they have no right to demand that their own religious, cultural and social norms over-rule those of the English in their own country.

All left wing Governments are thugs. And the more they stay in power, the more they try and control the People. The longer they are in power, the more they use oppressive methods to 'correct' them and their behaviours and what they say.
