  1. Attempting to sign up today for True Money. So far it's been tedious but clear. I did the passport scan and then the face scan. All OK and then address / occupation info page. Got to the last item, occupation, and it's impossible to scroll to anything! Got the message -- Unable to process, Wait a moment. It's been over an hour. Now I'm wondering if the page will ever time out but it doesn't look promising that I'll get past this roadblock at least on this attempt.
  2. Republicans at their dirty anti democracy white nationalist tricks again. The idea is to suppress as many votes from the poor and ethnic minorities as possible. To create more hoops to jump through. To intimidate people from even bothering.
  3. Control of the house very tenuous.
  4. The Trump regime will impact your life whether you care or not.
  5. Since Trump now calls Margarine Lardo home perhaps call it Donald's Bathtub.
  6. Trump also intends to change the name of Mt. Denali which was changed under Obama from Mt. McKinley. That old name was crappy as was President McKinley who had nothing to do with that mountain. The indigenous people's name was Denali. It's a beautiful name.
  7. And he isn't even president yet. Fasten your seatbelts for TOTAL INSANITY.
  8. Greenlanders may want to be their own sovereign nation, the same as many Puerto Ricans do, but Greenlanders wanting independence is NOT the same thing as wanting to be annexed by the U.S.
  9. Why not? Personally I don't really care. It turns out that the government CAN change the name. But that doesn't mean that the U.S. can compel people outside the U.S. to change the maps and use a new name as the Gulf of Mexico has stood for 400 years. Perhaps a compromise? Golfo de Estados Unidos? Also to say Gulf of America is not really specific enough. The Americas span two continents. There is only one Mexico. The old quote -- Poor Mexico. So far from God and close to the United States comes to mind.
  10. Again you make a serious point worth consideration. I do think both dates are very historically significant but I can't rate the importance of one vs. the other. Consider this. If Trump had lost in 2000, conceded the loss, and participated in the normal peaceful transfer of power, without the leadup and events of January 6th, his reelection to a second term would be notable as great political comeback for sure, but nothing like the severity of his significantly successful washing away of January 6th.
  11. More maga conspiracy theory garbage.
  12. Very much so. We'll see what he does. As we know by now "promises" by Mr. Trump are quite fluid when it comes to what he actually does.
  13. I didn't say one word indicating there was any excuse for violence by BLM protesters. The maga fascists actually are the ones trying to act like January 6th was not significant because of the BLM protests, when they had NOTHING to do with each other.
  14. Talk absurdly and carry a big stick. Not a parody figure. The president elect. Leader of the (brain) free world?
  15. No. He dodged thst by winning.
  16. No wonder he loves Putin. Birds of a feather.
  17. VP Harris upheld the constitution. Nothing to be mocked about that.
  18. Under 50 percent actually. But close.
  19. My understanding is that you're just wrong. That income from such retirement accounts are classed the same as non excluded PENSIONS when remitted. In the case of the U.S. that would include IRAs and 401ks. I reckon some other countries may have similar very specialized very rules based retirement programs, which same as the US would not be excluded unless specified in DTAs.
  20. He won't get it back.
  21. I'm sure that she still believes he is a fascist but there is nothing in the constitution about a way for a VP to avoid the peaceful transfer of power if the voters happen to elect a fascist.
  22. Perhaps. But I wouldn't bet the house on the interpretation.
  23. You have a point. Both dates would qualify.
