  1. That's not the off ramp that scotus will use.
  2. Jomtien. Perfect for me but like Bangkok air quality has become an issue.
  3. That's misinformation. You're not required to file as an expat if you're not required file period depending on income, etc. You are required to file FBAR to treasury if above defined foreign bank.account levels. I think you're out of touch with housing costs in the US these days including renting or buying a mobile which even if you own still has land rent. There are lower cost areas to live in the US but housing is still expensive in those areas and they are lower cost for a reason. Repatriation is a last resort but one good reason is to use Medicare. The political division in the US isn't getting better any time soon.
  4. I agree that SCOTUS will allow Trump on the ballot but I don't think the reason will have anything to do with your above explanation. I could be wrong. I give this court ZERO credibility. I think they would allow him on the ballot because they don't want their court already with ZERO credibility to be responsible to eliminate someone as popular with the public from the ballot which could even cause a civil war. Not because of the amendment. So not doing their job.
  5. That is NOT what the amendment says IN ANY WAY. I get that you think that is a fair way to do it, but again, no such stipulation in the amendment. So why repeat that misinformation?
  6. Garbage trumpist conspiracy theory.
  7. 99.99 percent plus of the eligible for the presidency U.S. population would be better than trump. Of course Trump isn't really eligible.
  8. Not only citizens. The local governments were often involved too.
  9. You're in a bubble. Normal in that he understands an American president isn't a King or dictator.
  10. The best predictor of US presidents is leaning heavily towards Joe Biden! Better than even late polls. He hasn't made his official pick yet but it's looking very good!
  11. Sure I like him. I don't love him. I don't worship him. Trump maga is a fascist cult of personality. Biden is a normal president. I'll take normal over Trump insanity any day of the week.
  12. It takes 270 electoral votes to be president. Presidential candidates don't need to persuade anything close to everyone.
  13. Yeah I'm definitely better off under Biden but I'm not foolish enough to think any president has all that much control over the ups and downs of capitalism. I wouldn't vote for a fascist dictator like Trump regardless of my personal situation.
  14. Sure again depends on the individual how they are invested if they're invested. Duh.
  15. Absurd garbage post. I was obviously stating opinion. How could I prove he isn't paid by the Kremlin? I don't think that he is. Do you?
  16. That means this isn't a court of law, it's a forum, and nobody has an obligation to suffer fools who don't know basic information and/or know it and deny it.
  17. I can't cite stats but there are definitely plenty of Americans who already own homes with decent mortgage rates and booming retirement accounts. People that own free and clear are of course older. I'm not saying it's one way or the other. It DEPENDS on specific situations and that would be the same with any president. Economic change happens and there are always winners and losers. Politicians are tasked with surfing those changes to try to get elected.
  18. Not like that. Trump is telling us as much by his words and actions.
  19. Conspiracy theory garbage.
  20. Yes he's literally fighting for his life. His main motivation to be president is to save his own ample arse. If he loses, there is a good chance he ends his life in prison sans the golden toilets. The mental stress is showing. He's melting down.
  21. As said how people feel about their wealth depends on their specific circumstances. Aside from housing in general when the stock market goes up the significant percentage of Americans who have retirement accounts do FEEL richer and even tend to spend more even without touching those accounts.
  22. Sure that's capitalism. Whatever happens there are always winners and losers. Many Americans will be and will feel much richer under Biden and many will not. It depends on their individual situation. During the great depression most suffered but some were in a position to create great fortunes. All presidents deal with these kinds of complex contradictions. I understand most Average Joes vote based on personal economic perceptions. In this election that's particularly unfortunate. In Trump we have a monster intent on blowing up American democracy to replace it with a president for life cult of personality fascist dictatorship. Many magas understand that and want that. They are the opposite of patriotic Americans.
  23. That's typical maga. Hatred of domestic partisan opponents much more than enemy states particularly Russia.
