Making a 90 day report first time in a few years.

giddyup · yesterday at 10:15 AM1 day

I've been doing online 90 day reports for a few years, but because I'm about to get a new passport I believe the next 90 day has to be done in person. The last time I did a report at Jomtien it was only necessary to present your passport, now I believe there are a couple of forms to fill out. I have been at the same address for 16 years, do I still have to fill out a TM30?

Joe Kent, Counterterrorism official in Trump Administration, resigns.

Alan Zweibel · 20 hours ago20 hr

Joe Kent, one of the United States’ top counterterrorism officials, announced his resignation on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the Iran war and what he said was Israel’s influence over the Trump administration’s policies. Here is his resignation letter in full. https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/dea3cbf97dbfb39c/1/output-1.png https://archive.ph/R2vUr I may not like his principles, but at least unlike most rightwingers who post here, he doesn't believe that MAGA is Trump an

HE started it and now wants NATO to help

Mavideol · Monday at 10:11 AM2 days

this is the joke of the year, the guy started the war with Israel help, didn't consult with anybody, didn't share any information thus no advise was given to him, he didn't prepare for any counter measure that could happen, like the closure of the strait of Hormuz, since he started it on it's own Nato members have nothing to do with it, guess what is his latest decision???? I know it's laughable, he said if the Nato allies don't help him overtaking the strait, they will face a very bad future BT

Trump Snaps At Reporter As War Questions Intensify A heated exchange between Donald Trump and a reporter aboard Air Force One has gone viral, underscoring growing pressure on the president over the expanding war with Iran. During a press gaggle, a female journalist asked Trump to explain the deployment of 5,000 U.S. Marines and sailors to the region — a question that appeared to trigger an immediate and sharp reaction. “You’re a very obnoxious person,” Trump shot back, before cutting her off

Vladimir Putin "will be overthrown this year', according to a pro-Kremlin cheerleade Vladimir Putin "will be overthrown this year', according to a pro-Kremlin cheerleader who has seemingly turned on the Russian President who he says is getting "weaker and weaker". The Kremlin was left in shock as a man thought to be one of their leading attack dogs branded Putin a ‘war criminal, liar, and thief’, while demanding a new and more modern leader takes his place.

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · 8 hours ago8 hr

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way? Best regards, Gamma

Will Trump back down?

GammaGlobulin · 18 hours ago18 hr

Dear Folks, I have absolutely no idea how to create a “poll”, on TV. However, be that as it may be, what is your opinion? Will Trump back down? Deep in his big heart, Trump knows that the right move, given the reality of his situation, is to finally step down from his high-horse, and just….BACK DOWN. Do you think he is capable for doing so? Yes? No? IMHO, the answer is a definite YES. Trump is easily capable of pragmatically backing down, and getting out of Iran, while the getting is goo

HEGSETH: Would you say he is a “dandy” ?

GammaGlobulin · 21 hours ago21 hr

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi
