One MAGA posters already described it as a smart move to send an indirect message to Europe! 🤣

Was the message don't trust us to blab like a high school kid and post secrets on FB? 

No doubt that will make europe and other countries very anxious to share intelligence re threats with the USA so our crackerjack team can share them and then claim oh it was no big deal...just specific details of what exact time bombs will drop.

SSA actually has Fraud Investigation Units throughout the country. I saw one in action in LA years ago. The team was targeting a guy on SSDI due to back injury.  He was collecting benefits  but the team got a tip that this guy was working.  The lead agent told me they needed hours and hours of surveillance in order to file a fraud case with a US Attorney.  In this particular case the fraud guy was working at his wife's restaurant and they had him under surveillance for a month before filing the case with the US Attorney.  This is how cumbersome it was or possibly still is to prosecute SSDI fraudsters. 

Sure some cases require surveillance etc....but other cases like claiming that a dead person is still being sent checks yet someone is cashing the checks ...it is not rocket science for investigators to prove if the person is indeed dead or alive. 

Far as I know there are plenty of databases that list all deaths in usa.  And if determined by a five minute data search that the person is dead it should not take very long at all to first immediately stop the checks and then determine who is getting the checks at his address or via transfer. 

I would guess barney fife could figure that out in a few days. 

Maybe eliminating the FBI is not such a great idea if we are overrun with fraudsters stealing billions of dollars of soc sec money. 

Maybe most of  the fraud claims are just a bunch of hyped up BS to make it seem that musk can waive his magic wand and declare fraud with little to no evidence?

Problem is that musk is screaming massive  fraud fraud fraud but so far has not named names and as far as i know zero investigation into specific fraud claims has been done...if they have been done by the admins new crackerjack FBI team it is sure taking a long time for arrests and charges to be filed.  

so can you vape weed?

Longtime Pai locals likely got along just fine before any tourists to speak of ever showed up...i would bet they will also get along just fine if the tourist and the thais who showed up to hustle tourists all disappear as well. 

More people does not always equate with happier locals.  Ask the folks in Barcelona and Venice who liked the money until it became not worth the cost.

If writing posts hating on Trump won Olympic medals some posters on here would be gold medal  champions

Sure and of course there was never any hate at all directed at Biden other than nonstop for four ++ years....and continues even now as blame him for any and all even though he is no longer potus.

If trump has his way he alone would automatically be awarded every olympic gold medal as we all know that he is the best at everything...just ask him and he'll tell you ad naseum.  Big Macs bone spurs and all.

agoda is your friend

How about just sell visas for 50 thb a day....1500 a month....18000 a year.  Overstay or get arrested  and price is doubled on future entry.  Overstay again.  Blacklisted for five years. Too simple?

Want to be in the united states? Dont do bad stuff. Problem solved

Except little things like storm the capitol beat cops threaten to hang the VP install fake electors and try and overthrow the results of an election.  That is all just fine and after you have been arrested and charged and tried by a jury or plead quilty and sentenced  to jail dear leader will declare that you are a true patriot and issue a blanket pardon no matter how unlawful no matter that you had due process no matter the piles of evidence no matter a jury trial and no matter that it was a big bunch of thugs......but do not vandalize a tesla or you are a terrorist.

Oh and if all those jan 6 thugs were really antifa as dear leader and his magic morons claimed then why did dear leader pardon all those antifi thugs and praise them non stop as heroes?  Very strange thing for dear leader to do but as all good cult members know you do not ever ever criticize dear leader no matter how full of crap he obviously truly is and continues to be.

So file this away along with all the hype re foreigners paying taxes....got it.

As said, do not get yourself all worked up or worried or anything over any rumoured changes or changes that are being proposed or discussed or somebody on a forum says is next to certain.

When and if something is actually done and started and if and when it actually is enforced and if and when it actually impacts your life just carry on as if it never existed and ignore it.

The guy in the video is not a farang.   How come if he's got a prominent limp he can get away from a Thai who he's just ripped off?

In a peculiar turn of events in Lampang, Thailand, a foreigner recently snuck away without settling a 700 baht massage tab. Known locally as Robert, this elusive individual has now gained notoriety for slipping away from multiple businesses without paying his dues.

Speak out dude, "if I listen to your bs, you need to buy my drinks". Just the same as buying lady drinks, so maybe they should buy my drinks at double price and I get a cut?

If he buys me drinks next thing you know he will want to rub my legs or worse so i think better to skip the drinks and head off to another bar....

How so many Thais put up with so much garbage from so many farangs is amazing.....and yet most Thais still treat most farangs with respect and are friendly.

And yes i already know that some will want to whine about how some Thai ripped them off or did not meet their very high standards of service.

As long as they're buying the drinks and 'company', I have no problems sitting with them.

I wish but usually what i get is all the BS and no free drinks.

Any one who does visit beer bars has no doubt had someone sit beside him that after less than five minutes you are ready to slice your wrist to get away from him...either incredibly stupid, ignorant, arrogant, or maybe all of the above or in some cases you actually do run into a few guys who are very pleasant to sit and talk with and can even learn a few new things or at least share some stories.

The trick is to learn to get up and leave asap when u get the idiot types that sit next to you. Generally they will not get any more pleasant after having a few more beers.  I can chug a beer very quickly when i suddenly remember that  i have to be somewhere.  

Every ass sitting on every bar stool likely has a lot of stories...it is not required that you listen to them.

But there are some gems scattered through all the gravel that indeed are very interesting guys to have a chat with for an hour or two.

He must give his wife/gal a lot of $$ to put up with being seen in public with such an idiot jerk....i have no doubt she was hoping to just be invisible when he started his tantrum.  I would bet she was not real friendly to him when they finally got home.
