Waiting for Biden loyalists to claim he's sharp as a tack.

Not at all,Biden took over from the first failed trump presidency and did nothing to address the issues that got trump elected in the first place, then  Biden gave us Ukraine, and by extension BRICS , which led to the dollar's decline as a world reserve currency. And finally gave us trump 2.0 .

Wrong. Its 30% which is still a substantial blow to chinas economy

20% of that 30% is the fentanyl tariff which will be also removed since the it is also a BS tariff, at best there might be a 10% tariff. The tariffs were presented as a way to get manufacturing back to the US.  So let me ask you this, do you think a 10% tariff will be enough for companies to come back to the US?  If not what remains? A 10% consumption tax  on the American people, or if the importer does not pass it down to the consumer and eat it a 10% tax on the importer. Someone has to pay it, there is no such thing as a free lunch. 

First question. Is this given to trump personally , or is it given to the president? and would be the property of the US after trump leaves office?  

Second, it can never be used as a presidential plane because of the obvious security concerns. This lane was in possession and control of a foreign goverment. Even the current Air Force one, if it was under the control of a foreign goverment, would not be able to be of use again as a presidential plane, because even after you did the most extensive sweep, you still cant  say with absolute certainty that it is 100% secure. 

Thank you all for your kind advice! I appreciate it. 

Follow up:  I took the advice of a member here and looked into Dtac  long distance, who also happens to be my cellphone provider, As it turns out , Dtac long distance to the US is between 1-2.5 baht per minute.  so sor less than what I paid for Skype I get more minutes than I could ever use, for the few times I call to the US. to communicate with friends and family I use FB messenger. I realize that I will not be able to get text codes from banks and gov. but the workaround to that is that I have my daughter's tell # on file with them and when a text code is nessacery, they send it to my daughter, and she texts it to me.

You could ask a family member/friend (in the U.S.A. with a mobile number) to create a new GMail account and register for Google Voice for you.

 

 

I have my daughter there, could she do that, How would that work? with me here ? I could l give that  a try.

After researching I decided on Yolla.  Very inexpensive to call the U.S. and no monthly/annual fees...pay as you go

How is Yolla working out for you making calls in the US (banks Gov, etc) , I am also thinking of signing up. I would appreciate your feedback.

I have a friend who is also seeking a Skype alternative.  I'm trying to help him get a GV number set up.  He's on Android but I'm on IOS so what works for me doesn't for him.

 

What is the problem that is preventing you from creating a new GV number?

I am in Thailand. I downloaded the GV app, but when I try to open the app I get the message "Sorry  , google voice is not available in your country , so I assume I have to be in the US to set up GV. But I am not going there for a while. My question: My daughter is in the US, if she set up a google voice account on her phone and gave me the log on information, would I be able to Open the  Google Voice up on my phone using her log on information and use it to make calls? And will there be a conflict calling her Phone in her cell carrier number, because GV will be on her phone also?   PS: I have a VPN on my phone here in Thailand and I can make it look like my phone is in the US while I make calls.

GOOGLE VOICE does that same thing + you get a free phone number. Global calls can be made for a charge that you put on deposit with GOOGLE VOICE

I am in Thailand I downloaded the Google Voice app, it will not allow me to open the app, and proceed with sett up, I het the message "Sorry , Google Voice is not available in your country"

I think you have to originally open it up in the USA with a phone assigned to a USA carrier. Once you do that, you're good to go. 

If that's the case then Google voice would not be an option and it's back to the drawing board LOL

Just use Line or Whatsap

I need a service where I can make and receive calls , and perhaps text codes. Though I know that not all banks  sent text codes over internet based calling. 

So as we all know  Skype is shutting down mid May. I was putting it off , but it is time to look for an alternative, I have heard  many that say they use Google voice. So I down loaded the residential app on my I phone, and when I tried to open the app I got the message " Sorry but Google voice is not available in the country you are" I even tried to open the app with a VPN signed into the US with no success, What am I doing wrong?

Anyways can you clarify if Kamala is black or Indian because she seems to change her accent and roots based on her audience?

You are the one who suggested using the "N" word as a test.

I ask you,

Why can she be both?

My Daughter is half Greek and Half Irish. Does she need to make a choice?  Perhaps declare herself. Learn the secret handshake?

really. where is joe biden ?

They must have some real good weed here in Thailand. 

Where do you want him to be? He is President and he is running the country. 

Do you want him to be in the limelight taking press away from Harris and giving distraction points to the republicans? 

Are can't be serious. 

Suggestion for you.  Stop smoking the locoweed .

Might be. If Kamala really is black, have her say the N-word, let the people decide for themselves.

I hate to tell you this, I know you will be disappointed and I hate to disappoint, But I think the people have already decided. 

They don't need you "N" word test 

Perhaps you can use that at one of your clan meetings.

He didn’t back down, she did! She is terrified of President Trump. He will embarrass her so bad because she is clueless about her position. She has absolutely NO experience, neither does her VP pick Walz!!! Trump/Vance 2024

Ook. says the man as he slowly backs away.

Left before - we like Biden, Harris is weak

 

Left now - Harris is great. Who is Biden?

I don't know where you are coming with this "me tarzan you jane " crap .

We always said we liked Biden, still do, but we thought he was too old for a second term. 

No one , other than you says "Who is Biden"  

Biden is ranked as  14th  out of  45 presidents  

Guess what trump's  rating is. 

This is not the first time I had this issue with a laptop, but the charger  port is starting to feel a bit lose. 

I have seen these magnetic charging ports for mobile phones an such. where you don't have to pull the plug out every time,  and I was wondering if there is such a thing for a laptop, with those round charging ports. I did a search on lazada and Shoppe, but I am not sure if i was using the wrong search term. 

would I be better off using a USB charger? and if so which kind?

Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thank you

I could take Kamala in a debate. 

That's very kind of you but I think she has people to drive her there.
