'Retirement visa' 800k usage rules..

Jack is indeed correct but I don’t think its reasonable to expect people to always post any oddball regional outliers. -
Yes. There is word now that he may delay the announcement. The incoherent curiosly fertile serial absent father anti abortion Georgia football player in the senate runoff might be a factor. An interesting question is whether Trump will even be welcome in Georgia for the campaign. He's the kiss of death. That said I do still expect him to run to maybe help him dodge prison. He'll still probably have his 30 percent Super MAGA deplorables no matter what. What else is he gonna do? Flee to Sochi?

I agree Harris can't win but if Biden doesn't run the democrats have many other strong options. Some you haven't heard of but a fresh face can have a lot of appeal. Particularly democrats that are winners in red and purple states. As far as big names Gavin Newsom is a very talented politician. Not saying I love him but he would make an apt contrast because of his historic role in marriage equality (now very popular) to the DeSantis game of scapegoating LGBT people which is straight out of the Putin playbook. As clearly DeSantis is about culture wars well two can play at that game.

I have a prediction that I am very confident about. You're seeing DeSantis at a very high point in his career. He does not face a cake walk to the presidency. There is much to be revealed and publicized that won't smell as nice. Also to note if it's clear that Trump won't be nominated early enough Biden probably won't even run. Biden would beat Trump again but probably nobody else. To those that think the democrats don't have a bench you are very wrong.

Report: Trump Thinks a 2024 Presidential Run Will Keep Him Out of Prison | Vanity Fair REPORT: TRUMP THINKS A 2024 PRESIDENTIAL RUN WILL KEEP HIM OUT OF PRISON Donald Trump famously hated the actual job of being president of the United States, given its emphasis on reading documents, listening to experts, and giving a <deleted> about other people. On the other hand, he did enjoy the power, and one aspect of the power he really seemed to like was the fact that, according to his lawyers, he couldn’t be held accountable for any crimes while in office. Trump will definitely still run. His motivation has nothing to with hoping to be a good public servant for the American people. Rather it's a desperate attempt to avoid facing any legal consequences for his many allege crimes. He's hoping that the DOJ etc. would never dare to indict once he becomes a formal candidate as he could spin that as political interference. Of course nobody knows if that game will work for him but it makes sense for him to at least try that on in case he does.

Party at Trump's tacky palace not hardy! What a loser. Trump's Mar-a-Lago Midterms Party Falls Flat As GOP Falls Short (businessinsider.com) Trump midterm results-night party at Mar-a-Lago fell flat as candidates he endorsed fell short of victory Democracy was on the ballot this time with the party of trump representing fascism, and happily democracy is still breathing! I'm surprised but of course pleased. The vulnerability remains though. -
Retirement visa/Bank account question.

Immigration is not a charity, ha ha. -
Yes Independents are very big in the U.S. But for me being a democrat will always make sense as I can't relate to a party (republicans) that is largely based on white resentment. Also keep in mind there are very very few people actually running as independents, so at the end of the day, there really are only two parties that have real relevance in American politics. Sounds like you're from a country with a parliamentary system. That's not relevant to American politics.
-
I've always been a democrat. Never denied that. Voting for another party candidate doesn't change your party. As we have two choices of major parties respecting independents, now we have the pro democracy party the democrats, and the MAGA trump white nationalist republican party representing allies like Putin, plotting to end real elections, basically America's fascist party.

I don't usually consent to answer obvious personal baits, but what the hell, I will answer that one. YES. During my first time voting. I won't say who but the guy turned out to be a total liar as he ran as a moderate republican, completely changed his politics to far right after being elected, and grew to became a felony level criminal.
