  1. As Trump himself likes to say ... Like a Dog!
  2. Whether it's a few weeks or many years, the real question is whether an "end" will be a real end or just a pause. Without significant security guarantees for Ukraine, the sovereign nation of Ukraine will be on the way to over, whether by arms or probably by way of installation of a Russian puppet. So much silly stuff in your post, but I will say the USAID budget is tiny relative to the entire budget and even cutting every last cent of it does basically nothing to address the deficit.
  3. Outside of Mexico, "Mexican" food is mostly antijitos. Buenos is no different in that. That's what international people mostly want. Unfortunately, it does give a false impression of what Mexican food actually is -- much more than that. www.masterclass.com/articles/types-of-mexican-antojitos What Are Antojitos? 15 Types of Mexican Antojitos - 2025 - MasterClass Burritos though are much more popular internationally than in Mexico. In Mexico they are a Northern Mexican food and generally much more basic than what was developed in the U.S.
  4. I don't believe you that even one customer demanded a strict Kosher kitchen from you! If there was one, that person was basically insane. It's obvious with your "chosen" schtick that you're another one with a bug up their arse about Jews in general. You're not fooling anyone, buddy. Again to anyone who doesn't understand this, asking for no pork or no shellfish is NOT even close to demanding an actual Kosher kitchen. Even with Israeli food restaurants in Thailand, most are NOT full Kosher. Chabad ones are.
  5. I looked at it. Didn't bother. I could tell it wouldn't do it for me. I like https://www.hotmeals2u.com/ for Tex Mex delivery. Especially the super burritos with steak.
  6. Yeah but I was fishing for a maga to tell us why they think it's a good idea.
  7. You're welcome to post your own reviews and also restaurant news, etc. But you choose to only snipe. Sad.
  8. The people are starting to rise up against a criminally corrupt narcissistic evil tyrant who is trashing the constitution and proclaimed himself King on a country designed to never have Kings. Republican people. Town Hall Erupts At Blistering Anti-Trump Rant Torching ‘Tyranny’ — Gets Standing Ovation In Trump District
  9. You're confused. This was NOT a promise. They're talking about it. They talk about a lot of things they never do. I already explained why it would be smart of them to float this idea right now. To throw cold water on the rapidly rising organic protests including from republicans against the radical chainsaw actions of DOGE to tear apart the U.S. government to shreds. I think it's DEFLECTION.
  10. No. It means file if your accessable income is over the filing threshold. Being over that threshold doesn't mean you'll necessarily owe tax though. For example if a foreigners only income is a few thousand baht from bank interest, no need to file unless they want to bother with that to get the withholding refunded.
  11. Vance has the charisma of a soaked log with eye makeup.
  12. No. If it's not accessable income under your DTA, you simply do not put it down on that form. Any "argument" if it ever comes to that would be at an audit.
  13. In my view it's the maga fascists and Trump apologists and sane washers who are the very poor excuses for citizens. Trump is president. The tragedy happened. But he is NOT America.
  14. If they haven't completely dismantled the election system by then. They already have a nuclear level misinformation propaganda machine in the form of Musk Twitter.
  15. Thanks for sharing. I think sovereign nations can have whatever immigration policies they like.
  16. Can someone explain to me how deep cuts to IRS agents saves money? IRS is the agency that makes money for the government. I understand why business types want to avoid being audited of course. But with many fewer agents, many fewer audits, especially of super complicated big business cases, so less revenue to run the government. Maga people -- explain this.
  17. Is it racist for Italy to offer citizenship by descent?
  18. I was thinking of Lisbon or Porto. The housing costs are very high. The "research" I did on Mauritius was awhile back so I don't recall too many details. I focused largely on retirement visas (definitely viable for most of us), safety, housing options, area options, transportation, expat life, cultural factors, food, and available activities. As with everywhere lots of "information" online, on youtube, etc. Probably a big draw for South Africans. My conclusion at the time was that it wouldn't be on a Plan B from Thailand for me personally, but might be a Plan A or B for many other people. As far as the rest of Africa, I've "looked" at South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, Rwanda, Kenya, and purely as a curiosity Egypt. Out of all of Africa, Morocco might make a C list for me personally, so in other words, for me, forget about it. I recall I wasn't eligible for South Africa but even if I was even though I'm sure Capetown is fantastic, the crime situation is just too much. I do think there are some really good opportunities for black Americans getting residency. Especially younger entrepreneurial ones. Some countries in Africa are welcoming them with open arms, and who doesn't like to be welcomed?
  19. They're already cutting Medicaid, and they lied that they won't touch Medicare and SS. There is big money there -- for the billionaires.
  20. I have a theory. Right now there are organic street protests and angry loud town halls of Trump - Maga house members where people expressing outrage about the radical actions of DOGE, including the attacks on privacy. Trump's poll numbers are way down, and Musk's popularity is dropping like a rock. This promise of a dividend is another diversionary trick. He thinks the base at least will shut their yaps if they think they'll be getting a check. Meanwhile the administrative fascist coup and power grab continues and the end result is of course all classes get royally screwed except for the billionaires when they get their big tax cut (the reason they want to cut so big in the first place).
  21. I've done some research about Mauritius. My impression is that it's moderately expensive, probably higher than Thailand but lower than Costa Rica or Portugal. It's very isolated though. I think it would be a draw to people into ocean stuff. An interesting choice for sure.
