  1. Anyway, nobody with any credibility actually believes Putin actually wants the proposed cease fire or a potential later real long term peace respecting Ukraine as a sovereign nation. His goal remains the same -- total control of all of Ukraine (with a puppet government possibly even better for him) and beyond. Any BS that Putin would be happy with a "neutral" Ukraine is pure cloud cuckoo land stuff. Think what Putin gets controlling Ukraine. The best drone program in the world. The best army in Europe. The chance to murder all opposition. Flooding Europe with millions more refugees destabilizing Europe to an extreme degree.
  2. Putin (looking ridiculous) seems to be saying the POWS will be murdered. Nothing new coming from his military. I suppose Putin won't even entertain any kind of "negotiation" before he can end Ukraine's bargaining chip in Kursk.
  3. 700 baht? If I was gonna dine and dash, I'd go for 700 dollars.
  4. Yeah the same total MORON who continues to claim millions of Americans over age 150 are getting S.S. benefits. He and Mr. Trump are Putin adjacent lying machines.
  5. I know the magas will groan but I'm posting this item from an American expat in Ecuador as it roughly fits in with the general topic of possible issues with social security abroad after Trump 2.0. How to restore your Social Security payment if it has been been suspended - CuencaHighLife www.cuencahighlife.com/how-to-restore-your-social-security-payment-if-it-has-been-been-suspended/
  6. It's totally disgusting that both Trump and Musk are still pushing that BIG LIE. It's like we have totally insane, totally corrupt, people having such total power over our lives.
  7. What good is U.S. Medicare if living in Thailand?
  8. "Interesting" that nobody here has even shared an opinion on the main point about this topic. The impact on 65k monthly baht retirement extensions IF even one month is skipped.
  9. Blah blah blah. Not everyone who voted for Trump is in the maga CULT. Duh.
  10. No it won't. He only said that he saw a higher risk of a problem, and rational people believe him. Of course people in the maga cult are not rational people by definition.
  11. Well they're definitely deeply cutting Medicaid. That will directly result in the deaths of countless Americans. Probably mostly Trump supporters.
  12. Note that he's 19. I assume that he's an adult under Thai law. Striking out on your own at 19 is hardly unusual but just leaving without word definitely is. To quote Tolstoy: All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
  13. No grudge. He resigned long ago in order to explore running for president. Nothing to do with the Trump and his Musk big ball boys.
  14. So you actually bought that big lie? I guess that's a litmus test for maga a'ong with believing Trump won in 20 and Jan 6 was a tourist excursion.
  15. The former SS head who is very credible as a former two time state governor is only saying based on his insider knowledge of that agency, he sees a real risk that payments could be interrupted because of the Musk chainsaw. He's not saying it will definitely happen. He's speaking as a public service to suggest to recipients that have the ability to keep a cash reserve in case it happens. I posted this mainly as an American expat in Thailand issue around people using the import 65K a month method. Many such people get their SS benefit sent directly to their Thai bank account. I am really asking, believe it or not, IF there is a month or more that is interrupted (but repaid later) would that ruin extension applications or not? As the requirement is a MONTHLY thing. My current understanding is that there is zero tolerance for missing even one month. I do know there is tolerance for odd specific dates of funds arrival. For example a month where the benefit comes in two times at the end of a month where the second remittance is actually the next month's funding. That's OK with immigration. But completely missing months? I don't think that's OK.
  16. In work environments there are such things as key employees. Get rid of them too quickly without any thought of consequences would be very damaging for any organization, private or government. The chainsaw approach is for morons.
  17. I wonder what percentage of the magas actually believe the still repeated already totally debunked BIG LIES from both Trump and Musk that there are many millions of people over 100 and much older getting benefits. Why do they keep repeating that lie? Trump I can believe is stupid enough to believe it. Is Musk also that stupid? It certainly doesn't inspire confidence that Musk and his big balls boys are in charge of SS now. It's appalling actually.
  18. Yes of course, but IF the Trump voter regret level becomes overwhelming those R sleazeballs might grow the beginning of a backbone.
  19. Cheeky of them to describe him as sheepish. Look, so he's got some unusual problems. Also it sounds as if the family dealt with the horse incident in good faith, as painful and embarrassing as that must have been to face. There is no good reason not to wish him and his family well,
  20. Well, it's clear to me that Trump voter regret will grow and grow and grow. But for him to be checked, aside from the judiciary which is helping somewhat, it's going to take some republicans in congress to flippin' DO THEIR JOB!
  21. I'm in awe of how stupid that post is. No interest in further engagement at such a low level Ba-bye..
  22. Not really. The new head has no experience and is just following Doge orders.
