  1. I think both of you are mistaken. There will not BE a 2028 election... said to be 'for our own good.'
  2. Not a surprise to me. We've been seeing a steady reversal of progress made over the last 100 years. At this point, I would NOT be surprised to see Trump overturn the Emancipation Proclamation. (You know... That's the one that freed the slaves.)
  3. What is happening in America today has very little to do with Trump, and a LOT to do with those who are writing his script, and those who blindly follow, believing ( not thinking) 'he' is doing what's best for them. Paving over the Rose Garden and building a $400 million dollar ballroom must be what they want.
  4. Most of Asia is noisy. But the Thais do tend to shout to each other rather than walking 3 meters and speaking in a quieter voice. There is no awareness that their yelling might be too noisy for others. I often turn my hearing aids off just to get some peace and quiet while eating in restaurants.
  5. 'Madur' brand 'English Breakfast' tea, sunshine, and a view over the whole Chiang Mai valley... I love mornings!
  6. Reuters, BBC, Al Jazeera, ABC, CBS, and several others. I've always found it wise to ignore the man with just one book.
  7. Did anyone really think that she would turn on the one person who could, and probably will, pardon her? Remember, in Trump's world, 'truth' is simply not an issue.
  8. Have you noticed? The 'rest of the world' has already been doing a great job of picking up the broken pieces of America and redirecting them to more rational sources of supply. Eventually, the US may find itself cut off from doing business with the rest of the world as more countries seek better business partners.
  9. Raise doubts? There has been no doubt in any rational thinking person's mind since his first term in office. It makes perfect sense that he was elected again. " The greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled. " ~Aldous Huxley
  10. LOL! You're doing it a third time! I made a statement. You said that I said something completely different. THAT is putting words in my mouth. Do you honestly think that people can't read what is written? Are you from one of the Southern states? That could explain it. And now... that's enough. Enjoy your delusion.
  11. Social Democrats gave us weekends, public libraries, child labor laws, public transportation, municipal police forces, and public schools, etc., etc., etc. Republicans gave us the Ku Klux Klan.
  12. … and yet you do it again. Sorry, I won’t bother with you any longer. You keep changing the playing field.
  13. Sorry, but if you need to put words in my mouth, you’ve already lost the debate.
  14. No.. what I’m referring to is people no longer able to buy fruit and vegetables at realistic prices. I don’t give a damn about numbers or labels. I care about people’s ability to have decent housing and affordable food and medicines.
  15. I'm a trained psychic (have the diploma and everything!), so I AM allowed to make predictions. I have the skill set. Prediction: We're so <deleted>.
  16. Again... do you not understand the concept of 'Cascading Failure?'
  17. The trees continued to call the Axe their friend because he said his wooden handle made him one of them.
  18. I guess you haven't seen all the fruit and vegetables left rotting in the fields because there aren't enough migrant laborers to pick them? Businesses (and Countries) rely on future planning to stay viable. With Trump's on-again/off-again tariff announcements, businesses (and entire countries) are unable to plan for their futures. Businesses (and countries) that can't make long-range economic plans will most likely fail.
  19. Unfortunately, no longer just a projection. It's already being seen in many parts of the U.S. Food prices are already rising quickly from day to day, as is the cost of household goods and furnishings. Compare this week's new car sticker price with that of two months ago. MAGAs will not like having this truth slap them in the face when they go shopping this week because there will be no way to spin these rising costs anywhere but to the current administration.
  20. Can you understand the concept of 'cascading failure?' Are you aware that it has already begun? Let me explain. It's like that little snowball at the top of the hill rolling down, gathering more and more snow, gaining in size and speed, until it crashes into the wall at the bottom. America isn't at the bottom... yet. But watch as it spirals down over the next few months, until people can no longer live their lives comfortably because of little money, no food on the shelves, few household goods available at reasonable prices, and no access to needed health care. Not today, but it's coming to a neighborhood near you soon.
  21. I moved to Asia when I was 40. I'll be 79 at my next birthday. When asked 'When will you come home,' I reply, "I am home." I've been in Thailand for 25 years. No plans to leave.
  22. What Trump is doing today is minor league compared with the cascading results his actions will have in the next 6 months. It will not be pretty, and it will appear to happen suddenly. The MAGAs will stand around scratching their heads, wondering how it could have happened, while the rest of the world, rather than scratching, will just be shaking their heads, wondering how Americans could have been so blind.
  23. I'm sorry, but I've never purchased them as stand-alone. It's always been bought along with several other items at the same time. I don't remember what the price was that I was told years ago when I first started using this trio, but knowing me, if it was too high, I wouldn't have tried that route. But whatever the cost, the combination of the two herbals and the tadalafil does the job for me with no side effects.
  24. You can always add fibre to the mix with a tablespoonful of Psyllium Seed Husk. All the online shops sell it very cheaply, and even Rimping often carries it. I make my own Keto-style bread (no wheat flour) and always add it in. I use a bread machine on a timer, so I can wake up to the delicious smell of freshly baked bread.
  25. Thank you! My mistake when posting. It has been Tadalafil that I've been taking under the name Apcalis. Thanks for the correction.
