  1. I only have two complaints about the system I have to work with. First, I'd like to synchronize these two pensions (one from the state, one from the corporations I worked for), and use the same Proof of Life for both. Despite email and chat conversations, and talking on the phone with a real life person, it wasn't possible. But ok. Second, I used to get the Proof of Life documents by mail, and sometimes it just never arrived. This is Thailand after all. So now I get everything through the internet. Small complaints, I'm quite happy with how these 'bureaucracies' work.
  2. You have to send your Proof of Life by mail to the USA? How backwards. I have to send two different Proof of Life documents every year, and I can do that by scanning and email. It appears that is possible in 2025.
  3. Cutting aid to projects in foreign countries comes from bigotry, if you don't show what the waste fraud and abuse is in those projects. Btw, if there was any waste fraud and abuse, show it, and eliminate it. Not the project . Another btw, isn't Congress the institution to determine where the money goes? This is all done by a wacko with plastic cheese on his head, or two hats, running around with a chainsaw or making the Sieg Heil salute. Yes, and a self-admitted ketamine addict.
  4. I agree, but I go a bit further. He fired people indiscriminately, no thought behind it. That will have actual cost in real life, later on. Some of those people had to be rehired. Legal costs. The ending of f.i. USAID has nothing to do with waste fraud and abuse, it has to do with bigotry. Unless Musk, or DOGE, shows what waste fraud and abuse he has miraculously discovered. So far he hasn't. It's a chainsaw in the hands of a drug addict, allowed by a clown.
  5. Can you explain to me what Musk has actually achieved with his illegal DOGE actions? For one thing a lot of private data of American citizens has found it's way into his hands, but what else?
  6. Elect a clown (a corrupt fascist and racist clown) expect a circus (a corrupt fascist and racist circus). 64 million, 74 million and 77 million adult Americans voted for this clown. Do they enjoy the circus? Or are they simply too stupid?
  7. If you mean by 'peace agreements' the Abraham Accords, the only thing it has achieved is handing over 2 billion to Jared Kushner, plus many millions each year as 'management fee'. Of course it ignored the Palestinians completely. It was all about greed, and worked out well that way. It has absolutely nothing to do with peace in the Middle East.
  8. Why bring the dumbest of Trump's sons into the discussion, while it's about Donald Jr?
  9. Thanks for changing the subject, as expected. My father taught me, if you do something, do it good. Biden has been a disaster in foreign policy. He is too slow, too scared. And allows Netanyahu to put the middle finger to him every single day, while being complicit in genocide and war crimes. If Biden really wanted to help Ukraine against the illegal invasion of Russia, he should have acted quickly and decisively. He is not capable of that. That's Biden's legacy. Besides, by his weakness and incompetence, handing over the presidency to a vile person like Trump.
  10. I'm not disputing that America's so-called 'democracy' is going the way of a never ending reality tv show.
  11. Thanks for interfering here, but obviously the subject matters to you. I'm sorry you made the wrong choice for your spouse, can't help with you that.
  12. I'm pretty sure Fox news has lots of bleach blondes to your liking.
  13. Talking about that Trump guy as 'your daddy' is one of the weirdest things to come out of this Trump era. It says a lot about America, and historians will write books about it. Many books.
  14. Uhhh ... Who did I vote for, genius? You show again, it's not difficult to trigger addled extreme right wing nuts.
  15. So I have to suggest you again, stay off the Khao Lao? Your ranting is not getting any better, is it?
  16. I'd say you're right, but where is that claim of 100.000 km2 coming from? Since February 2022 of course.
  17. I suggest you stay off the Lao Khao. And Biden is not my Biden. That's come up in your addled brain I guess. I also suggest you look up some history about Putin.
  18. Interesting, but a completely different discussion. Russia uses the narrative that it felt threatened by even the possibility of Ukraine becoming a NATO member. It also uses the narrative that it invaded Ukraine (going to Kiev, remember) to rid Ukraine of the fascists. All bogus of course. Putin's real aim was and is, to revive the old Russian empire, Russia's greatness. And secure himself a place in the history books as the greatest Russian tsar ever. He's not very successful so far. But if he succeeds in Ukraine, next will be Moldova / Transnistria.
  19. This has always been a mystery to me, maybe you can clear it up. It's ok if Russia launches missiles from hundreds of kilometres inside Russia, has air force bases there so Russian warplanes can attack every city in Ukraine it likes from the air, but Ukraine is not allowed to use the weapons it has to attack those places in Russia where the attacks come from? Please explain.
  20. The usual revisionist drivel. Putin wanted to join NATO in 2000/2001, remember? Finland has now joined NATO, will the invincible Putin invade Finland next? Have you ever heard of Kaliningrad?
