The Trump cabinet Thread
Voters have had enough with Woke! The left doesn’t like his attitude , me thinks. “His appointment could bring sweeping changes to the military, with the TV host passionately opposed to 'woke' diversity programmes and the role of women in combat”. He kinda reminds me of the James Garner in the Movie Darby’s Rangers , dont you think so? He’ll serve at the pleasure of the soon to be new Potus! Trump is a sucker for those straight out of central casting figures.Probably sent in to shake things up! -

Trump's 'huge lie' shows 'he’s taking everyone for an idiot': analysis
There's often a caveat. In the case of the booming Biden economy, where the US is growing 3 times faster since 2020 than the average G7 nation, and both consumer spending and consumer savings rates are up, it is crucial to have a marketable skill. Unskilled labor hasn't been able to benefit, because not much of it is needed in the modern technological economy. That leaves most of his cult out, as he owns the poorly educated and unskilled. The even harsher reality for them is that not only can he not do a thing to help them, he no longer even cares, since he got the only thing he needed from them: their vote. He will spend the next few years claiming he inherited a basket case, when the reality is nobody can help the kind of labor the world has left behind. No matter who won, those in society who lack educational credentials and/or marketable skills would have suffered. They are simply no longer necessary. They bought into his false promises and pie-in-the-sky dreams, because that is all they have. As the OP noted, he fooled them in the most cynical manner. You CAN fool some of the people all of the time. For those who have skills and talents, the last 4 years under Biden have been a bonanza, the best times since the late 1990s under Clinton. Wealth has never accumulated faster into the hands of the haves. The POTUS-elect cannot fix this intractable trend toward a kind of Darwinian Capitalism. The strong have not only survived, we have prospered as never before. If your net worth is down since 2020, it means you have been obviated by the modern world. He cannot help you, even if he still cared after 5 November, which he does not. If you cannot pony up $200K to join his garish club, you're what he would call a "loser". -

Schengen visa / insurance
Nobody replied. So I had to find out myself, the hard way. Here is an update for whatever it's worth... If you ever will consider bringing your kid to Sweden, please be aware that visa will be denied. Why? Well, children born after 2015 are automatically considered to be Swedish citizens, and the embassy can't and won't issue a Schengen visa to a Swede (and it doesn't matter if said person never has had a passport before). I was told to get her a Swedish passport if I wanted to bring her on a vacation to Sweden. So I still ended up Dept. of Consular Affairs at Chaeng Wattana, but not for the documents requested for a visa application. Instead I needed to have the marriage and birth certificates translated and notarized. Translation service was available there; I got approached by a lady who offered this on the spot for a reasonable amount of money. With these things in hand I went, a couple of days later, to the Swedish embassy which will issue a passport once her citizen number has been sorted out (in about two months). -
