  1. Trump who is now a citizen holding NO OFFICE has as much legal right (NONE) to possess any of those documents as I do, classified or not. It's hilarious that the much more right wing party which has had a brand of law and order, tough on crime, supports the most extremely criminal president in American history,
  2. None of those but I'd rather not say.
  3. My shrink didn’t jump. My neurologist did.
  4. Not really but people I meet usually mention it and my high society head shrinker who I saw at age 15 did ask me if I thought I was Rasputin. I didn't even know who Rasputin was so how could I think I was him? He would light up a big illegal Cuban cigar at the beginning of the session and that's how he timed the hour. He had a very famous patient and he told me his name to show off. Ethical? Different times. Speaking of doctors I had a doctor a neurologist by the name of Dr. Pain. He wrote a report about me that angered my mother. But no mention of Rasputin. Later, he jumped out of his medical office window. It was on a high floor. Do you really think I'm making this stuff up? Anyway, nobody is normal.
  5. There are earthquakes every day in earthquake zones. That was a scare tactic item. The volcano IS a good reason to not move to Tagaytay. You do need to look carefully at localized natural disaster risks in many countries including Philippines, Mexico, USA, etc. Yeah I do feel Portugal's offers might be too good to be true to continue for much longer.
  6. Yeah, you have been saying that. I give you credit. There are still doors but the tightening and filtering trend cannot be ignored. Of course so much changed from Covid too.
  7. I know a lot of people will only watch highly rated movies. Well, I think that's rubbish. While I have found that movies rated very low on IMDB, Rotten, etc. almost always are time wasters, many of the mid level ones turn out to be charmning gems. Here's one rated 5.9 on IMDB. Starring Ethan Hawke and Asa Butterfield (who you might recognize from the Sex Education series).
  8. Are you having a laugh?!? His first target was Kyiv and actively trying to murder Zelinsky and his family.
  9. Thailand has lots of options if you have at least middle class money, but no viable path towards permanent residency for most. Cambodia very easy for retirement visas, but I've heard there is tightening for others such as "business" visas. Vietnam is not a viable destination for retirees, visa-wise. Ecuador has tightened / made things more expensive. Mexico has made things much more expensive and has tried to kill the live permanently on six month visa runs option. Colombia has tightened in all categories and for the retirement option even though affordable the retirement rules have changed in odious ways. Except for Cambodia with the easy retirement visa and Georgia (now made expensive by so many Russians) where you can theoretically live indefinitely on one year visa runs no questions asked, I am not really aware of these scads of super easy visa countries for residency you speak about. That's why I asked you to name them. You basically can't and neither can I. Georgia assuming that most of inflation bringing Russians eventually move on does offer that easy live there for a year at a time option but they can change that rule any day, and paths towards more permanent residency are not at all easy or cheap. You asked which are my current backup to Thailand options. Cambodia of course but the poor health care is unacceptable. Mexico for now as I can qualify with their show money option for now, but the rumors is that they plan on major immigration changes in 2023 (at the very least definitely at least more expensive but maybe much more) that might eliminate them. Philippines still interests me. I'm curious about cool weather mountain city Baguio. Portugal will be good for many. I'm a bit unclear if I qualify and there has definitely been a lot of housing inflation in the expat saturated areas. Anyone can see a global trend here.
  10. Yes, but that would be suicidal for Putin. Houston -- we've got a problem.
  11. Garbage. Putin the Horrible would then continue and annex the entire country. There are no equivalents here. Putin invaded. Putin is doing sham annexations. Ukraine is DEFENDING.
  12. Putin is so innocent. The victim of the west. Sure thing.
  13. Conspiracy theory garbage. Putin chose this war. If it continues to escalate that's on Putin too.
  14. Yes. Trump's treasonous behavior at the infamous Trump - Putin press conference in Helsinki was the highlight of Putin's career.
  15. What does that have to with Ukraine?
  16. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I meant that Ukraine has needed outside help with arms, etc. and will continue to need such help. Ukrainians have shown historically remarkable motivation and bravery but without the arms help they wouldn't be winning. Putin the Horrible may indeed go nuclear and if he does he will start smallish. I don't think the first response will be nuclear but it will need to be otherwise proportionate. If it escalates after that all bets are off. If anyone had any doubt at all about whether Ukraine would respect the sham annexations.
  17. Again just STOP it. Your first and third sentences said you NOT you guys. You most certainly were BAITING me personally. Everyone can see that. Your attempt at plausible deniability was implausible. I am not the topic. Capiche.
  18. Try me. Kindly desist from personal baiting me. Such obnoxious postz are very unwelcome.
  19. 2 km may be one example. I have many deliveries coming from very much further than that.
  20. Lecture on. As if you get all the reasons people love these services. I don't have a vehicle on purpose and there is either no or very bad and slow public transportation to most of the places I order from. Not ordering delivery to such places if I want their food would be nuts. It's a big win win for all involved parties.
  21. Not by me. I never said immediately. Bye
  22. It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. Winston Churchill
  23. Well they've been warned. If they ignore the warning it's on them not their governments
  24. Raising livestock in a small condo is allowed because nobody thought to make that a rule. No pets? Sure. Cattle aren't pets. Where's the beef? Room 1534.
