  1. Hopefully he can be stopped. He hasn't won yet.
  2. Another reason Springfield MO wouldn't be a match for him. I would pay money NOT to visit a Bass Pro Shop.
  3. The mayor of New York is one of the most visible of American politicians. If it's going to be a democrat, it would be better for the democrats and the country related to the effort of diminishing maga to have a different nationally recognized representative. I would rather have a republican or independent in that office than him.
  4. There may be an as yet unannounced independent candidate. Mamdani hasn't won the mayor's race yet. I don't care if he's Muslim or not but I don't like his flavor for the future of the democratic party. But running Cuomo in the primary was idiotic.
  5. Sirens Limited miniseries. I'm finding it worth watching. Sirens (2025 TV series) - Wikipedia
  6. I would trust CNN over propaganda site "Truth" Social any day of the week. But agreed that people need to curate their information sources carefully and critically.
  7. Once in a blue moon, Trump is right about something. But the bigger picture is that Trump has alienated long term allies and they feel correctly that the U.S. has ceased to be a stable reliable friend. That's going to bite the USA permanently.
  8. I was looking at a repatriation option in the low cost midwestern small city of Springfield Missouri. (Lots of good things about it for retirees such as cheap rent but probably not a good fit for me being as it's the buckle of the bible belt.) There is a recommended Thai restaurant there -- ironically called Everyday Thai. In flippin' Springfield Mo for chrissakes, not NYC or LA! 19 dollar tom yum goong? Plus add tax and 20 percent tip. Everyday? Really? More like every MONTH. Everyday Thai www.myeverydaythai.com/#menu Made me think it's kind of crazy NOT to eat out (or get delivery) everyday in Thailand. A satang for your thoughts.
  9. Lesse majeste law for JD Vance? Totally insane! Border officials work to uphold the law and the constitution. They shouldn't be working to enforce loyalty to any political leader. I consider any American that thinks this is OK as an American who has lost their way.
  10. Even if he did ever win it, that would fill his narcissistic black hole for a few days max, and then he would be off ranting about other grievances. What a shambolic president.
  11. Absolutely WRONG and incredibly IGNORANT. It's not about actions. It's simply having emotional and sexual attraction to the same sex and lacking that towards the opposite sex. No actions ever needed for that to mean you're gay.
  12. Trump took an incredibly consequential unilateral gamble without backing of even his own government. I wish he had succeeded in actually wiping out Iran's nuclear program even if I would have hated seeing him gain even more political power. The gamble failed. Now what?
  13. It's not a win if it actually accellerates Iran's nuclear goals. How? Increased chance of help from allies like North Korea.
  14. Trump will just continue to lie that it was an enormous success.
  15. That was Iran's money actually, just unfrozen. They weren't going to agree to a treaty for nothing.
  16. Will you be providing armed security? (Especially for Americans.)
  17. That's true. We'll only know the details for any specific transferring firm if this law is passed when people either try it or the firms announce their policies about it to clients. Cheers.
  18. Gummies are cooked with ingredients. Cannabis oil is one of those ingredients. I'll paste this in: A measurement of .2 THC in cannabis oil indicates that there are 0.2 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per specified amount of the oil, which is a very low concentration. This low level of THC suggests that the oil may not produce significant psychoactive effects. The very clear intent of the Thai law on cannabis OIL is for medical use only, and never to obtain a high. That law is very different than for flowers. If a shop is selling edibles that get you high and I assume most do there is no flippin' way that is .2 THC!
  19. Exactly! Especially considering if they get it wrong, THEY pay the tax. Since when would we expect such firms to take any kind of such risk?!?
  20. There is no way that you could know that Wise won't deduct the excise tax anyway.
