  1. It's a FACT that Russia did work to help Trump get elected in all three elections. The maga fascists are playing games now to try to rewrite history that they did not.
  2. Yes, I understand that you have a weird personal vendetta against me. But on the actual topic, in your bizarre Trump fandom you totally ignore what Trump's tariff-polooza will do to the majority of Americans, including of course so many in his cult who were suckered into believing he was going to help them economically. Trump doesn't care about them and clearly for whatever bizarre reasons as a non-American, you don't either.
  3. A staggering defeat for the poorer segment of American consumers. Who cares about Trump? A president is supposed to serve the PEOPLE. Trump only serves his own diseased ego and of course the richest people. The most corrupt president in American history.
  4. Vile pro Putin propagandist.
  5. Over the years I've tried so many brewing methods and there are of course pros and cons for all of them. For most of my years in Thailand it's been a French press which is great for brewing strong coffee and keeping lots of the essential oils, though not producing the healthiest version of coffee. In recent years I've just been using an old fashioned electric drip machine with a built in metal filter. OK. Super easy and lazy. Boring. But eventually not the cleanest so maintenance needed. I've never done a purist pour over method like a Chemex as too much of a fuss. Though now my latest enthusiasm is a combo of a pour over and an immersion like a French press in an incredibly easy to use almost fool proof package -- the Clever Dripper. I actually bought a knock off called a Smart Dripper or you could buy a Taiwan dripper, basically the same thing. It uses paper filters so the brew is very clean and for better or worse the result lacks the oils of a French press. I looked at a bunch of youtube "recipes" for the dripper and each one has a different philosophy. This I consider a feature. With a Clever Dripper, you can play around with all the variables for your current bean, experiment to your heart's content to pursue your own coffee nirvana. All that and it's not nearly a fussy as purist pour over. Such things as: water temp water first or coffee first (unlike a pure pour over you can just dump all the water in directly from your kettle) ratio of coffee to water grind level (I've got a burr grinder) stirring technique brewing time The filters that came with it were too small so I've just been brewing it very strong and then diluting the result with water at the end like an Americano espresso. Mechanically, it's so cool. You do all your prep on your counter service including adding the water and nothing goes through. Then you place the dripper on a container or coffee cup and it's designed to then open up the floodgates. I'd have varying results with one fail of too acidic, but overall it's a new style of coffee for me. Very, very clean and a way to bring out more of the flavor of your beans. I'm probably going to be buying better quality beans now to take advantage of that. I guess I'm saying, if you haven't tried a Clever Dripper, I would suggest that you do.
  6. It's not a win for the American people as it's a REGRESSIVE tax. Also I don't believe the majority of American are fooled by his games. Most know it's consumers that pay this by now.
  7. Delusional but it's certain he will be taking full credit.
  8. It's not a vacation. The main purpose was to promote his own business ventures and to bring more profit to him personally. For that portion of the trip, morally and ethically, Trump shouldn't be doing such a corrupt thing in the first place, but we're beyond that with him, so he should personally pay. Of course he won't.
  9. Yes but to those under the spell of the fascist maga cult, he's their truly low scumbag. But the joke's on them. He's only about himself.
  10. It's doubtful that even Trump understands that. What would you expect from the dumbest student a prominent Wharton Business school professor ever had?
  11. I just bought a German shaver. Excellent! Many other things such as Italian pasta. American pasta is garbage.
  12. That's just Trumpist propaganda. There is zero chance that you know that. Shame on you.
  13. His books written by ghost writers. Not him. Its documented that he doesn't read. His security briefings the few he attends are presented as pictures. His Wharton school professor said he was the dumbest business student he ever had. But he is the greatest con man ever.
  14. According to SS rules, if you're living abroad, you're required to report your current address just as if you moved in the U.S. Faking not being an expat to avoid the form is a type of fraud. SS given their weirdness at this time, could start going after such people aggressively at any time. In my view, letter or no letter, it's more sensible to be honest with U.S. government agencies. Up to you though.
  15. It's all relative. If Thailand isn't more affordable than the U.S. in the future, likely some other OK countries will be. No guarantees.
  16. That depends on the dingus and who's attached to it. Trump's is a matter of public (pubic) record.
  17. To be clear, this future cut is very real IF it isn't fixed in time. It's required by law if the funds aren't there.
  18. This conflict is totally different than the Russia-Ukraine war.
  19. Tenny tiny crowd that Like his dingus.
