This is a bigger picture observation of what Trump is doing. Yes he is smashing up the government in every way he can. One way is to have incompetent cabinet members totally loyal to him and in some cases picking leaders who are against their departments even existing. Next step -- TOTAL CHAOS. Then -- with his artificially manufactured multi-faceted CRISES, Trump comes in with even more extreme dictatorial actions and powers because the people will be crying for that when everything is falling apart. This is a classic textbook move of authoritarian dictators. He has lots of power now. He wants it ALL. Now I realize the most people that voted for Trump believing his lies about lower grocery prices weren't aware that they were voting for this total madness. But it's too late. He's installed.

A comedy? A holocaust movie? Neither. Refreshingly original hard to categorize movie showcasing the talents of Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin (yes brother of the Home Alone guy).

That post was a disgusting flame and entirely about you idiotically thinking you understand me. I'm upset that Trump is now an authoritarian dictator and he pushes people based on total loyalty to dear leader that have zero qualifications or competence. For Ambassador to Luxembourg OK. Not for a life and death stakes for the planet job like defense secretary.

Because it's a cult. Daddy knows best.

No it isn't. Just because you're acting the sore maga winner, doesn't mean people should actually respect such madness.

Yes banks do cash U.S. checks but I think they're much more likely to do that when the payee has an account with them. I can imagine them not liking anything different. It helps that it's not a personal check but from a corporation. As far as getting help from a U.S. national, if it's a big check, they might be concerned about remittance tax implications.

Ouch that sounds tricky. I assume if he has a Thai bank account he already asked them I used to contract with Schlumberger in the US and most staff weren't US citizens. Sounds remote but maybe he can beg to them to cancel the check and to send the money western union.

Your posted garbage extremist reality denying right wing propaganda, and I'm bigoted. Sure thing, buddy. The reality is that he OBJECTIVELY lacks qualifications. To suggest otherwise reflects very badly on anyone lying about that.

This is getting kind of silly. If you don't file because your income is exempt and you don't have accessable income over the threshold, and you also keep good RECORDS, in the unlikely event that you're called in about that, you prove your situation, and the worse that can happen is a fine for not filing when you were supposed to. (But you're not supposed to.) If people are going to push anything, push learning about the different kinds of income being accessible or not, and stop pushing unnecessary filing About the irrational FEAR MONGERING that extensions are going to require tax returns, cross that bridge IF it ever happens.

That rag which was promoted by Rush Limbaugh. The author a Fox News contributer. Worthless propaganda. Trying to push the narrative that that boza is at all qualified is insane. With his record, he couldn't get a job managing a retail store. Look I might have different politics than you, but I would NEVER EVER try to pass on such a total nothing stuffed shirt closer to my ideology as being qualified for one of the most powerful roles in the world. That would be idiotic and shameful.

The American Spectator. Say no more.

Yes. That's the point. Did you miss it? A child adopted by a single parent because there was no other option when that parent is in couple who wish they could marry, is much better off if they could become legally able to marry. Now in Thailand they can so such a child would then have both of his parents legally recognized as the actual situation -- having both parents.

Yes. There are always some that are accidentally deported.

She's rich and famous and has writing talent but I don't put any special weight on her opinions on gender issues. It's not like she's a medical or scientific specialist on the subject.

Sometimes people with physical or old age issues are invited to sit in the driver's compartment. There is a wide range of so called disability. Obviously wheelchairs are a problem but many older people and others are just slower and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect drivers to accommodate them.

It wasn't a fall. While sitting I was thrown into a sharp metal object that was part of the interior of the bus which resulted in cuts and a lot of bleeding. I wouldn't call it a serious injury though. It was just surprising that such a thing could happen just sitting on a bus and no collision either just by reckless driving.

As far as where to place prisoners, I think the rational, humane approach is to make an evaluation on an individual basis. Obviously with the majority of people who are cisgender there is nothing to consider. But for the minority that isn't, there are a number of things to consider on an individual basis and such decisions do NOT fit into a mindless boilerplate one size fits all system. I'm not talking about coddling anyone. Just being rational. The maga fascist now official government policy that transgender people don't even exist is extremely cruel and extremely stupid.

So your argument is because I thought that the strong man authoritarian Trump wouldn't win that my criticism of his policies and picks is made null. This is a pattern I've seen by the sore winners brigade. They actually think winning makes them or dear leader right and that critics are now compelled to shut up, or if not to be harassed and insulted or in the case of Trump's armed militias (now made above the law like Trump himself) like the Proud Boys actively threatened with violence or actual violence. At the same time they crow about free speech and how the maga moverment isn't fascist. No no no.

Thank God the government of Thailand has moved forward from the tired old moronic homophobic tropes found on this topic. Hey, if you don't like it -- Russia wants you!

I doubt he will do that and even if he did I doubt he has the competence to manage and effectively use them. He's only there as a yes man for Trump.

You think that stuffed suit from Fox weekends has a best mind? OMG!

Comply? For sure. But do not OVER comply.

Mostly PENSION income remitted that is exempt under DTA, no need to declare. Though of course some types of pension income are not exempt.
