  1. Proof that Trump is incredibly short-sighted - and a liar.The US was in negotiations to reinstate a nuclear oversight program. There was no threat to the US. But now he's willing to risk American lives - notably other lives not his valued shin spurs. Just like the 2nd last Republican Pres., Bush 'Junior' - he is completely unaware of the realities of US foreign policy regime change. After Saddam Hussein got hung out to dry, and the US left, Iraq completely destabilized, resulting in a sectarian civil war, the rise of armed militias, and a power vacuum that led to an Al-Qaeda-led insurgency and the eventual rise of ISIS. anybody seen the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11? Michael Moore’s documentary questioning the Bush administration’s lie-strewed justification for the Iraq war.
  2. Trump has not earned the title 'TACO' for nothing, except this time, there is no option to change his mind, about going to war, on the bidding of that war criminal, Netanyahu.
  3. hello, Nigel, not at all surprised to see you here, having abandoned your homeland.
  4. excellent premier league footballers, for sure..
  5. blow back from the 2nd (mini) Holocaust?
  6. thanks - but all Canadians know how to do DD. do i sound like I have a stutter :)
  7. just in: ''we found your passport''. now I will have to wait for someone to ' stop acting the maggot' as they say in South Dublin . 555
  8. 'the windmills the windmills' .... the horror of it all. (appologies to Colonel Kurtz ). I rest my case.
  9. i was sensible enough ( a rarity) to photo copy my passport before sending it the the Embassy. I am hoping that will help. i have developed a good relationship with the new head officer at IO. (fruit & wine) :)
  10. latest is a response from Embassy, to my request for a letter explaining the situation, addressed to Immigration: ' Well noted and please accept our sincere apologies that we misplaced your passport. But if we could not find it – we will issue you an official letter for Thai immigration. its difficult to get any sense of urgency on their part. there are 3 weeks to go to the annual retirement extension deadline.
  11. damaged passport sent to the Embassy in Bangkok, in Dec 5. just had a call last week, to say they have mislaid it and if in fact did I include it with my application for a replacement passport. ( i did) but I'm sorta maybe screwed because i sent them an email, dec 6, listing my enclosures, which they never replied to. ChatGPT says I should seek a letter from the Embassy, addressed to Immigration describing the problem (I've done that last week). then, IF I get such a letter, i should get my axx in gear and head down to IO to seek an extension. does anyone have any addition advice. ? tia.
  12. if you want to rate Trump capabilities, just check out his history for declaring multiple bankruptcies in order to avoid his debts. when told by advisors that soaring debt may generate a crisis years down the road, Trump reportedly said, Yeah, but I won't be here". i wish the US would make a law requiring a stupidity test, before allowing you to vote.
  13. there is a video on YouTube of an in studio analysis of the shooting. After being shot, Trump reads off a teleprompter about God saved him. Think about the timing of what managed to get pre-written on the teleprompter . Time travel, I guess.
  14. I don't hate Obama, I liked that he broke the glass ceiling. i don't hate Trump. I like him, i just don't like what he does. if you ask me, only a pedophile in hiding, would control the mountain of evidence which has just been released....not. and if and when you reply ''where's the proof?''. That is the whole point - the proof has been redacted or do you prefer to go along with the pathetic DOJ's assurances that ''we're protecting the children''. The victims are the only ones telling the unvarnished truth.
  15. what is it about Trump fans? the vast majority of you supported the idea of demonizing and firing people from work, for expressing their hatred of Charlie Kirk. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, you abandon your beliefs - as in 'its ok for the Presiden of the USA to express hatred at just about everybody who disagrees with him. and i mean 'everybody' Seriously, it's like the plot line for the tv series - Severence. the minute you enter into a politcal discussion, your brain enters another reality.
  16. anyone here receivng Canadian CPP/OAS and using Wise Canada? I have been advised that Services Canada will require Wise Canada to approve the application form . I cannot see that happening.
  17. that is a very useful suggestion. do you have a reference to the website and do you know if they recognise correspondence in English? my SCB bank has bee rejecting my transfers from my CIBC Canada account, for the past 6 months.
  18. Fascinating. First time I've seen no thumbs down on a realistic assessment of what we're possibly going to see at the mid terms. 'It's the economy stupid' still rings true
  19. 'easy peasy' - just block Eric the Ego
  20. the New York Post ? That is less reliable than The National Enquirer. what planet do you live on.
