Kamala was planning to ban speedos, right? 

You're confusing me. 

Maybe you're thinking of Tim Walz putting speedos in girl's bathrooms?

I went to an audiologist in NZ. When I asked her where she came frm she said, "I'm American but I tell people that I'm Canadian." This was after Trump's previous success.

I made no disparaging remark about Pattaya. Just that, per your OP "when we meet non-Americans", I just don't meet non-Thai non-Americans much or at all where I live.

Nope, they just admit Americans are stupid. My boss who is from Texas told me that on Tuesday.

That is traditional but I am bad liar and have a hard time pulling that off. Also as said before not fair to actual Canadians.

I have done the Canadian gambit two times in my life out of self preservation, both in Malaysia (one place was an Iranian restaurant). 

Malaysia sticks in my mind as a country where I was literally spit in the face by a convenience store clerk for being American.

On second thought, in 4 or 5 months when I visit Europe, likely Donald Trump will have thrown the Ukraine under the bus to Vlad Putin, so likely ugly. The imminent destruction of NATO, leaving Europe to fend for themselves, all for personal game; the rights to build some Trump hotels in Moscow & St. Petersburg, and or, whatever Putin has on Trump. Putin definitely has something. Putin is ex KGB after all and would not miss an opportunity to ensnare an ignorant foolish man, who has the self restraint of a child, like Donald. It seems like a movie but it's real.
 

Explaining Trump is the easy part. Explaining why Americans would elect such a dangerous despicable person another altogether. On the other hand, the fact that I live OS, since another Republican nutter invaded Iraq & effed up the region (& US reputation) makes it easier. I have experience explaining  the idiot winds that sweep across North America.

I recall being on a bus tour in Turkiye with mostly Australians during a heated U.S. election season. They were very cool educated Aussies but a few of them made it very clear to me that they were angry that they had to hear this American political stuff constantly even on their own media. So I didn't talk about it.

 

 

For than a few MEGA supporters in Australia, including on this forum. Unfortunately there are also some Australian politicians who are favourable to trump. Remember the White Australia policy was only rescinded in the 1970s.

Agree, I don't know or have met any lefties.  Thankfully I don't know or run into people that ignorant / stupid

From your posts, i am sure he didn't spit in your face for being American.... What moronic thought did you try to push that he found offensive.

I hang with a bunch of Brits and they are all Labour, but reflexively and universally hate all politicians and admit their country is f**ked up.

Lefties are automatically ignorant/stupid, got it. The right all have stratospheric IQ's.

 

Aren't lefties more likely to be buying EV's?

 

You have a divining rod that can automatically detect a leftie?

 

You say you have not met a leftie. How would you know?

Wow 

What a dumb post!

The clerk was a Muslim young woman in a store attached to my hotel.

She asked where I was from.

I said America. Mistake.

Then she spit in my face and said a political rant about my country murdering in war.

I then told her I didn't support the current US President or his war who was Bush.

Then the ignoramus got a weird look on her face like she couldn't process that not all Americans are the same as their president's actions. Needless to say I didn't  go back to that store. Nor did I report her offense as I feared she might have terrorist brothers.

The gold price is collapsing into Fridays' close along with the price of oil. This portends a recession and consequent asset price collapse. The market isn't liking the Trump victory outside of MAGA plays like TSLA and DJT.

 If you want to see a nice chart., take a look at PLTR.  Commercial customers are piling in and the military will be adopting AI throughout.  It's just the beginning.  Well spent money for the government and a leg up businesses using the software in a challenging economic climate.

No need to say I don't support MAGA/Trump for this one I would think.

1/ Read your own post again. As sweeping generalisations go.....

2/ I should have put in a sarcasm alert.....

3/ Lefties worry about climate change. Right wingers think it is a hoax. Perhaps you can connect the dots.

4/ I'm hoping mine will do the same for MAGA's.

5/ It takes more than one conversation?

[CHdiver]

Future conversation in a Bar/elevator ......:

 

A: Where are you from? 

B. Country xy

B. I hear you are from America?

 

two possible answers:

 

A: Yes, and I am pround of it = Maga voter

B: Noooo, I am from Caaanada = Harris voter
