  1. If you think DeNiro is a communist you have oroblems that can't be addressed on this forum.
  2. I want to address a previous comment asserting that where gays retire are places straight people don't retire. That is mostly untrue as gay people retire to places that are generally attractive to a wide range of people but also welcoming enough or at least not hostile to gay people. But there are also some places that ate super gay "ghettos" that it would be true have little appeal to non gays. Such as Wilton Manors Florida. Many more non gays retire to the Ft. Lauderdale area than gays but non gays generally wouldn't move to Wilton Manors. A more typical generally attractive to all who can afford it retirement destination would be San Diego.
  3. These guys are dissing Lancaster. I think if a person is willing to take the weather in Erie that they should also consider Cleveland and Buffalo. There are some great things about Buffalo. Could be a good long term investment considering climate change. But this is about retired people ha ha.
  4. Pennsylvania is getting a lot of attention in the general best more affordable places to retire media. Yeah I recall a wealthy gay relative bought property in New Hope. Yes I've been there but very long ago. Personally I can't relate to picking such a low population place that's hours from this, hours from that, etc. I want lots where I am. I wouldn't consider a place under 30 to 50k population. https://pennwatch.org/harrisburg-tops-2024-list-of-best-places-to-retire-in-the-u-s/ The top 10 “Best Places to Retire” for 2024 include: #1: Harrisburg PENNSYLVANIA #2: Reading PENNSYLVANIA #3: Lancaster PENNSYLVANIA #4: Scranton PENNSYLVANIA #5: Allentown PENNSYLVANIA #6: New York City #7: York PENNSYLVANIA #8: Daytona Beach, Fla. #9: Youngstown, Ohio #10: Pittsburgh PENNSYLVANIA
  5. To each his own but I don't understand why gay people would want to move to New Hope when they could move to Pittsburgh, Philly, or one of the great smaller cities. Pennsylvania is very blue in the cities. I see tiny New Hope with a population of about 2000 people as a weekend day trip from Philly. Seen one antique store seen them all.
  6. Some more ideas Evansville IN Very low cost. Southern Indiana so warmer. Probably need a car. Lousville KY A bigger city so lots of amenities. Possibly some neighborhoods no car. Wilmington NC Desirable as on the coast. Probably too extensive but downtown might be possible without a car. Worthy of research.
  7. I remember when I cancelled my US auto insurance when I moved abroad. I had super loyalty decades with never an accident rates and I joked with the customer service lady that my status wouldn't be honored if I ever moved back. She said they would. I laughed.
  8. Not about being nice. The Irish appear to be irrationally projecting traumas from their own history on the conflict. The trouble is they are completely different histories.
  9. The UN created an Arab state as well but the Arab world decided to start a war instead.
  10. There are many many places in the US where you can rent a one bedroom apartment for under 1000 a month. Such places will have lower costs for most everything as well but generally you'll need a car. But not in places that would be most people's top choices to live. Debt is another story. The is no problem living in the US for 5k a month but you need to make wise choices.
  11. Here's the difference. Seagal, a talentless hack as an actor, a western traitor in fascist Russia has worked for many years to provide propaganda to his new home, fascist Russia. DeNiro, an American patriot, one of the most talented film actors in history, has taken it upon himself to advocate for a normal pro democracy American president against a convicted felon ex president fascist cult leader. I think people are influenced by celebrities. Whether they should or shouldn't be is another question.
  12. If he's elected president, any restrictions including if he's in prison, vanish.
  13. I get your point though I think the U.S. needs a strong presidency but not a monarch or dictator. No way will Biden pardon Trump.
  14. I have mixed feelings. Trump as a "man" obviously deserved to be locked up decades ago. But he was president. I know other countries imprison their presidents but I think that putting any president (ex-president) in prison might not be worth the damage to the presidency. I really like the poetic justice of the fake populist traitorous fascist America Firster exiling himself to an enemy. That might be more about damaging his own legacy than the presidency. Yeah I get to the maga cultists, he'll always be their dear leader regardless.
  15. Most likely this conviction won't involve jail. They are felonies but of the lowest severity level. Punishment phase is in July.
  16. He will be a convicted felon at election time. Appeals take years.
  17. I'm worried about the jurors. There is no doubt that some maga fascist goons will go after them if they're identified.
  18. No chance. They're all in with the convicted felon. They're totally insane, but there is no way they drop him.
  19. Personally I don't really feel the need to see him die in prison. I would be more satisfied if he loses the election and then flees the country to an enemy state.
