Certainly not. Departing them could be a death sentence.

Anyways is atrocious but I defend could care less. It's not about logic. It just flows better. Being terminally literal is unhealthy.

Hard to believe.

Anglophilia is definitely a thing. One of my first jobs was under a British expat in San Francisco. He said he hired me because I said my favorite author was Evelyn Waugh.

This list is funny. Non-Americans Sharing Signs Someone Is From The US (buzzfeed.com) I'm definitely less American than when I moved to Thailand but I think it's true, almost all Americans are doing some things that are obvious tells. I hear this all the time. Non-Americans asking Americans abroad where they are from and they answer with the state. It's so cringe. Like if someone says California (I used to do that!) it's usually them trying to communicate that they're blue not red as if the foreigner cares about that code. What would you add to the list? Being fat obviously but that isn't specific to Americans. I do have a memory of my first trip abroad in Austria with two friends (as teens). We were on this tour of some kind of cave ride and the guy helping us looked at us and said he would have never guessed we were Americans. What a compliment!

Not only me. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/04/the-american-civil-war-didnt-end-and-trump-is-a-confederate-president The American civil war didn't end. And Trump is a Confederate president His supporters hark back to an 1860s fantasy of white male dominance. But the Confederacy won’t win in the long run

It would be two countries then. Down with the traitor!

Irrelevant

Special moronitary situation.

Personally I'm easily amused so not bored.

A good defense attorney can probably get him off but he'll be advised to move out of town. I mean there are scenarios where the shooter may have feared for his life and that boy ain't talking.

Or just pay an agent wink wink nod nod.

"It wasn't about slavery" is the false narrative associated with southern types that refer to the civil war as the war of Northern aggression. You get all kinds of revisionist history on these matters. Such as Trumpist types still associating modern democrats with slavery even though as far as racism the two parties did a complete 180.

Hope that Brazil is more capable of locking up insurrectionist presidents than the US is.

He definitely chose the "right" party. Kind of reminds me of Jared Kushner's interest in prison reform.

Heard to today that he MUST apply for a new US visa within a month. He got the current visa when he was president. Things change. So extradition hopefully not needed.

Many of them are refugees.

As far as Ukraine if the west loses its resolve to help beat Russia, China will definitely invade Taiwan. Talk about WW3.

China will come back somewhat but they are limited by the CCP. So as far as non western markets I think INDIA is the play. But I'm not sure the best way to invest in it. It's not as if I'm going to directly buy on an Indian stock exchange. As far as China BYD EV company Interests me.

Many more but heres some. For buy and hold for years. AMAZON! BRKB DIS MELI MSFT PANW TD LLY

A big bull market will come eventually, either this year or next year. So arguably it's a great time to BUY stocks, but in my view, carefully selected stocks, and not indexes this time. A big worry I now have is that the radical nihilistic republicans (the extremists like Gaetz) have taken over the US congress and they have permission now to attach conditions to national budget bills. They will, the conditions will be unacceptable (such as attacking Medicare and Social Security) and then they will shut down the government. This is not only a US problem as such an event or event will crash market globally. The good news I guess is that after they crash, what a great buying opportunity!

Yes, Zelensky gets the urgency and has been doing a great job communicating that, but sadly as strong as the western support has been, it still hasn't been strong or quick enough.

That's exactly who he thinks he is.

Is the government of Brazil asking for that? If not, much as I detest him, I don't see the legal grounds if he is in the U.S. legally.

He's not called the Trump of the Tropics for nothing. What a horror show.
