It's only a "farce" to Trumpist loyalists as they're starting to realize the jig is up and their criminally corrupt dear leader is now permanently damaged goods. It is not a trial. It is not a body that can indict. If hopefully Trump is indicted for one ot more of his obvious felonies then the rules of trials will be in effect. For now Trump and his associates are more than welcome to testify under oath. But most are too chicken as they have awareness of guilt and of course they can always take the fifth.

It's impossible to predict the future. The US condo I.sold to finance my early retirement was at a bubble price at the time. Rents did not match. Having US rentals while living abroad is not for everyone. Its a complication and depending on the state a tax issue. Chickens home to roost suggests bad behavior. Yes I reject that negativity. All we can do is make the best investment decisions at the time based on what we know at the time. But frankly even knowing what happened over so many years I still don't think I would choose holding US real estate. Not everyone is you though I agree people should be advised to at least strongly consider not selling. Personally its not as if I want to repatriate but its nice to have the option. I didn't forsee a future where repatriation even in a more remote crappy area would become highly unfeasible. Certainly 5 years ago that was not the case. Oh well.

The law has nothing to do with speech outside schools The biggest issue with this bill is the chilling effect it will have in ALL SCHOOL GRADES. That is because ANYTHING LGBT in ANY GRADE is vulnerable to snitching right wing homophobic parents complaining and costing the school large financial penalties. Also teachers are afraid of being fired. So school administrators out of self protection are making LGBT topics and people INVISIBLE. This is vicious intimidation and forced self censorship. This will increase anti LGBT bullying and LGBT youth suicide already very high. This is a cynical bigoted bill by a very ambitious demagogue who has a great chance to become president. Anti LGBT Putin would admire such political power grabbing through scapegoating tactics.
