From the director of the wonderful award winning South Korean film Parasite (a must watch), we now have Mickey 17. Science fiction, great special effects, gripping story line, political and social satire as you'd expect coming from the Parasite guy. But it had a big budget and it's going to lose a lot of money. I don't usually care about such things but if that means its going to be harder for Bong Joon Ho to get future projects green lighted, that's really a shame.

Exactly. The damage Trump has done is PERMANENT.

I get it. You're not in touch with actual objective reality. Very maga.

He was voted to trash Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA? He was voted to help Russia and trash Ukraine? He was voted to launch a totally insane tariff trade war on the entire world (except Russia and North Korea) moronically based on trade imbalances (nothing to do with reciprocal tariffs), in effect causing a massive tax increase for lower wealth Americans, and destabilizing the entire global economy?!? He was voted to implement the fascist 2025 agenda when during the campaign he said he knew nothing about it? NO NO NO. He was not! I could go on and on about disgusting damaging things Trump has already done that people did NOT vote for. I will give you that he has done some things that people did vote for, such as to make transgender Americans lives miserable. Yes people did vote for that so job done.

This may deserve it's own topic sooner or later, but I'll take a first stab now. This is about IF the recent proposal about only older income remitted would be taxable abroad. Well, I'll give my example to frame my question which might be of interest to others. A U.S. citizen with only remitted income from Social Security (not taxable in Thailand) and a traditional IRA account (taxable in Thailand). My SS income is piling up all the time in a U.S. account. I don't do monthly transfers. I do big chunks once or twice a year. So all that is not relevant to Thai taxation. But lets say I do a taxable event IRA distrubition to an account already loaded with older SS money. All this setup to ask this question. If I accounted for this based on First In, First Out which is a common standard, by the time I get to the IRA money it might be too old to be tax exempt in Thailand. So much better for me is to account based on LAST IN, FIRST OUT accounting which to my limited knowledge is a standard method for inventory (but this isn't inventory). So for example in a given year I had 10K IRA income in April and I remitted it right away I wouldn't be at risk of that chunk of money aging into Thai taxable EVEN IF the account was already loaded with SS income (which came much earlier. So the ultimate question is if applied consistently would Thai Revenue accept LAST IN, FIRST OUT as a legitimate accounting method in such cases? Or not?

If he really cared about gloat he wouldn't be supporting a bill that raises the additional debt TRILLIONS of dollars. I get it -- you believe the maga propaganda.

There are at least three other legal ways that a shambolic president can be removed from power.

Hardly

I agree with that. The man who greatly accelerated the decline of the American empire. Not Make America Great Again. Rather Make America Small Again. Make America Poor Again.

I think it's kind of stigmatizing. Do they require this to buy beer?

Broken promises all around. My understanding is that the sleazeball magas are structuring these murderous changes to not hit hard until AFTER the midterms. As there may not be real elections by 2018, that is significant. Trump made a promise not to touch Medicare. His megabill just broke it.

A literal enemy foreign power couldn't do more damage to America than Trump is doing -- the so called president. How can the USA suffer four years of this self inflicted American carnage?

BTW -- to those who say harsh cuts are needed to cut the deficit, I call B.S. This ugly bill is projected to INCREASE the debt by TRILLIONS of dollars.

It's hard for me to decide who is more obnoxious -- JD Vance or Trump Jr.?

It's good John McCain didn't live to see this. He saved the ACA. Trump's maga movement is now gutting it. The big ugly CRUEL bill not only massively guts Medicaid. It will also automatically trigger 4 percent annual budget reductions to Medicare. It kills subsidies for the ACA, which in effect, kills the point of the program. I don't know how many of those 14 million people being set up to be royally screwed by Maga/Trump are in his cult or voted for this regime, but needless to say, a huge portion. The Trump regime 2.0 is turning the U.S. into a dystopian hellscape and we're still in the early days of it. Trump's Tax Bill Would Decimate the Affordable Care Act

Dumb post. I was obviously talking about Ukraine's NEGOTIATING position that Trump was promising would happen and was setting the table for. At the time of Trump's election, Ukraine was in a much STRONGER negotiating position than it is now. Because Trump completely messed this up. Kissing Putin's butt. Irrationally attacking Zelinsky. Giving Russia everything they wanted before talks even began. Dude - Trump is basically working for Putin. I consider him a trator. Putin seeing Trump had conceded everything and Trump was never going to put pressure on Russia at all decided rationally, why talk, Trump is a weak poodle and I can get even more. As far as the moronic theory that the US getting closer to Russia will make Russia an enemy of China, not even worth talking about.

Yes it even applies to "persecuted" Afrikaners.

So you don’t care. Very maga.

There is no way I'm reading the bill. Does anyone know if the make Trump King clause is still in the bill or not? It may be the most momentous clause in American history IF it's there and passes the senate.

He's actually made Ukraine's position much worse! Even before he took office, he gave Putin everything he wanted in advance without buyin from Ukraine. The most incompetent negotiator imaginable. But it was never about negotiation. It's been about Trump's perverted love of Putin and his hatred of Zelinskyy for refusing to participate in his American election corruption. Sorry -- Trump is a destructive force in the world.

I am very curious about something that was in the house bill. That they wished it was still secret clause that makes Trump the American KING. Is it still in the bill passed to the senate? If so, can the senate be counted on the remove it? 'Hidden' Provision in Trump's Big Bill Could Disarm US Supreme Court - Newsweek www.newsweek.com/hidden-provision-trump-bill-court-2075769

Will add an additional 2 TRILLION to the debt. Hilarious how republicans only care about debt when they're not in power.

Bull. Trump wanted to take them over so no need for formal proposals. What a total LOSER!

He has the Trump name. That's it.

Europe has the art of the deal. Trump has the fart of how to lose friends and make them never trust your country ever again.
