What is Trump really trying to tell us in his latest speech?
As always, the cult comes in to explain 'what he really meant'. Parsing POTUS is funnier and displays more pretzel logic than when folks write in awe of how Nostradamus even predicted who would win the World Cup in 2024. Now, apparently, it's 'a little humor'. I guess it's a joke like when he said "maybe we should inject a little disinfectant", or when he finally made a statement about the terrorists who attacked the Capitol on 6 Jan 2021, and said, "We love you all". Yes, he loves people who beat 140 cops and defecated on the floor of the Capitol, erected gallows, and chanted about hanging the Vice President. Maybe that last one is his playing the Second Coming and forgiving sins like Jeebus does. That's like those 'very fine people' who chanted "Jews will no replace us" in Charlottesville. As for humor, has he ever laughed, except when he was talking about violence? Oh, and as expected, his post election stock market rally lost a bit of steam yesterday. (Always fade the initial reaction, I have read posted here). I also noted a week ago that his talk and his deportation plan absolutely will result in hate crimes against Hispanics, and I see this is already beginning: https://www.yahoo.com/news/don-t-rights-mexican-southern-003056649.html Once the deportations start, likely using the military under recess-appointed Fox News host Hegseth, it will get much much worse, with hate crimes certainly spreading to East Asians, Sikhs and others who look "different". Plus, we've already seen the rise in misogyny with the latest meme of "Your body, my choice". The little dweeb Johnson, a Born Again (and again and again) Christian, is another one seemingly bereft of a sense of humor, unless he can find a way to "own the libs". He and the POTUS-elect have discussed "bringing back prayer in public schools", as if the Founders and their separation of church and State thing never happened. I'll go out on a limb and say such "prayer" is unlikely to be anything from the Qoran, The Teachings of Buddha, the Talmud, the Bhagavad Gita, the Book of Mormon, much less the Satanic Bible. Maybe it might come from The Handmaid's Tale, but otherwise it will be pure Born Again drivel about that all-loving skydaddy whose Master Plan and mysterious ways involved tsunamis and childhood cancer. What a guy! All kids should start their day chanting to him!. It's all shaping up as expected.....a TV Talking Head who never ran even a lemonade stand in charge of a $900 billion entity like defense, a Putin sycophant who also sided with Assad when he gassed his Syrian citizens as DNI, a steroid-using but vaccine hating guy with a dead worm in his brain to run Health and Human Services, a guy still under investigation of kiddie diddling to head the Department of Justice, and the planned closing of the Dept of Education (which would also de-fund programs for special needs kids), because who needs a Dept of Ed when kids can just pray for success on their math test. I'm still waiting for the QAnon Shaman to be named Surgeon General. -

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My - How will Trump's Fascist Dictatorship Affect You?
It doesn't cause inflation. It's a result of higher interest rates being used to quell inflation. You mob just don't want to acknowledge that Trump's election has literally thrown rates out of control. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/^TNX/ -

What is the process for filing the evisa non o for a spouse?
In that case your plan of obtaining eVisa in the states is best plan. With the non O you should be able to open a Thai bank account in your name only. This is the very first thing you should attend to after arrival.. -

Trump - just what does he have to do for his supporters to question their allegiance?
If there had been any doubt before, Trump's extremist and basically insane actions since being elected should prove to all other than in his cult of hatred and idiocy that he does indeed intend to rule as an autocrat. As much as possible, and tragically, an awful lot is possible. To the member who said get used it it and similar sore winner sentiments, I am reminded of the history of autocracies which show that resistance EARLY in an autocratic takeover is much more important than sitting and waiting back for it to completely set in. The autocrats want the people to be exhausted and sit back as they realize what's really happening and then it becomes TOO LATE. That fits right into their plans. I am not really talking about street actions but rather whatever constitutional means still remain to resist Trumpian autocracy (some state leaders, some federal judges, possibly saner republican voices in the senate) that hopefully will be very engaged though I have little hope that the senate republicans won't cave to the bully dictator. As far as my own response, well I'm older, live in Thailand, and didn't want to repatriate even before this tragic election result, so I am considering not getting used to it per se but emotionally disengaging for my sanity and realization that this is a fight for younger people if they choose, and if they don't choose, well they'll have to live with it.
