Too true but I do say Jomtien. People do this the other way too. They'll say the glamorous big city near them rather than the tacky little suburb they actually live at. As you get older though schlepping the ever so long trek into Pattaya becomes less appealing and less frequent.

Pelosi -- it's time! The longer he keeps up these cockamamie shenanigans the less chance he has to end his one and only term with dignity. It's a crying shame but for the good of the party and the country, Joe must go.

Not seems like. IS a nut case! Agreed, the transformation is quite bizarre.

Misogynist games.

It matters.

I think fascists like Orban, Putin, and Trump are bad. That's kind of basic.

Not anyone. The Trump movement -- yes. I find people that can't see that pathetic.

Not the best but Trump is definitely among the worst Americans in history.

She's definitely lost the maga fascist white nationalist vote. Oh my!

They call me the Michelle whisperer. How well does Melanoma's 18,000 dollar a month stylist know her?

These protesters need to get over themselves. They live in Pattaya, for Chrissakes! If they can't take some bad press, they can move to flippin' Hua Hin!

No politician's actions create perfect results. They're human and do the best they can.

I can imagine it and if she's the nominee I will will certainly support it. But she's not my first choice.

Misogynist garbage. People that are like that are in the maga camp anyway.

I'm not going to go into such personal details here. But I'll only move away from here if I'm forced to (by visa changes, etc.).

Well if Trump is gonna be America's King, I sure hope he has some clothes.

I have made up my mind. Based on being so heavily invested in Thailand for so long, I will try to stay indefinitely. However, that wasn't the question here, what I would do! I posted what I would advise for people that haven't moved to Thailand YET.

White nationalists are lost causes and will be supporting the maga fascists regardless. Hopefully they won't bother to vote.

Another advantage of Latin America over Asia. If you feel the world is starting to feel like World War 3 mode, Latin America is much more remote from that than Asia.

No and they wouldn't give me a visa even for that. Funny question though.

Basically stuck here.

My well seasoned advice. Do NOT retire in Thailand. Thailand offers no residence security to retired expats and never will. Instead pick a country in Latin America that offers an easy path to permanent residence and/or citizenship and also preferably right to buy land, and access to national health care programs. If you INSIST on Thailand, do at least one test run of living in Thailand in a normal non tourism way for at least three months before deciding about assets back home. About selling homes back home, that depends on the financial and personal situation of the individual. There is no one size fits all advice for that.

Back to reality, IF Biden does withdraw from the nomination (which I rate as fairly likely but not definite) we almost definitely will be stuck with Harris. While not ideal by any means, at least she will be an energetic prosecutor against the fascist convicted felon. I seriously doubt Trump will agree to debating her though as he'll knows he'd get slaughtered.

I don't believe you. She is known for being able to pass bipartisan legislation in a swing state. In other words, she will have appeal not only to democrats, but also independents and non-maga fascist conservatives.
