  1. You are not expected to pay tax as no law has passed the legislature yet, and it's all just pure speculation.
  2. Of course. Malaysia, Burma, Cambodia and Laos are quite threatening. Very, very scared.
  3. The baht is not only not weak, it's a lot stronger than it should be, all things considered. And it certainly does not represent a greater opportunity than usual for people on a budget to visit Thailand.
  4. I completely agree it's one of the safest places I've ever been and I never fear for my safety in Thailand. The vast majority of the violence is Thai on Thai, and it's usually young punks, or related to drugs and other criminal activity.
  5. One of the most astonishing things to me is the extent to which Trump supporters will defend his mistakes, his foibles, his ridiculously low quality appointments, and the mistakes that they make. During the 20 years that Clinton, Obama and Biden were in office I was a frequent critic of their policies as a Centrist Democrat, but it seems like very little of that courage is forthcoming from his current band of followers. Where is the self esteem in that? Certainly you can't be agreeing with absolutely everything that this guy is doing and and the way he's going about, doing what he's doing? Or does his demand of absolute fealty preclude rational and independent thinking?
  6. This is the exact opposite of what the Dems need, they need to stay away from the progressive left, and they need a Centrist candidate who appeals to the general population. This is one of the reasons why they lost this past election, the fact that they cowered and surrendered to the progressive left. This is not what the party needs that would be a huge mistake. Shapiro, or Beshears would be far better choices.
  7. Exactly. Just give it a little time this is exactly what Trump will do. He raised the deficit by $7.1 trillion last time, my estimate will be that it will be far more than that this time. And of course he has to ensure that Musk continues to pay no taxes in the US.
  8. He has no sense of humor so he doesn't qualify to be that type of Marxist. He is the very dull and boring type.
  9. The people elected him to get rid of illegal immigrants, not to arrest Europeans with green cards and other completely legitimate folks who were visiting or living in the US. As usual with Trump he has stepped over the line and again shot himself in the foot. He is such an incompetent goon, who has surrounded himself with nothing but incompetents and liars.
  10. Russia more or less invented the use of Marxist propaganda in order to convince the public of concepts that were not based in fact, Trump is an expert at using this technique and therefore employs Marxist ideology when it comes to winning. And leading. He is a Marxist.
  11. This is quite an astonishing thing considering the fact that the Vietnamese and Chinese people really don't like each other, due to much bad history. The reality is that the Thai government is leading the country backwards, while many countries in the region are moving forward.
  12. Trump needs a distraction at this point, and he is flailing badly. Things are going badly for him and he thinks that this might provide the answer, however it could lead to a prolonged war, increased terrorism, and this is the man who promised we wouldn't get into another war. Right? And let us not forget that he was the one who dismantled the existing treaty to begin with during his first term, the man is an utter failure.
  13. When I grew up if you liked guys you were either gay or bisexual. Now? The US and the UK are by far the most tolerant countries in the world when it comes to the whole trans, non-binary, amorosexual, decide whatever you want today, if it fits mentality. No other countries are as loose, driftless, and as silly as the US, and the UK. When a woman devotes her entire youth to a sport, and becomes one of the best in that particular area, and then a man comes along who decides to identify as a woman, and steals all the awards, all the victories, and all the accolades, something is not right in society. Something is broken, society has become morally bankrupt, and there has to be a pause, there has to be an interruption of the nonsense. No woman would survive more than 30 minutes in the NFL. Women will not participate in men's sports because they won't be able to handle the physical endurance required, nor the brutality, nor the talent level. A woman ranked #5 on the WTA could not beat a #758 man on the ATP as John McEnroe so truthfully stated. Hopefully all this craziness will pass and we'll return to some form of normalcy and indecency.
  14. There's no doubt that Trump is just waiting for an opportune moment to get rid of this clown. When you select from the absolute bottom of the barrel these are the kind of problems that you end up with. A man of very modest intelligence, who was a very minor Fox News host, appointed to one of the most important positions in the US government with a Department of 2 million people. So what could possibly go wrong? No doubt both our allies and our enemies are finding this kind of appointee quite astonishing. And depending upon which side of the fence these allies and enemies are, it must be either very thrilling or very frightening. This absolute clown would be under qualified to lead the San Diego County chapter of the Boy Scouts.
