You've retired. Why do you spend so much time arguing about Trump?

[TheAppletons]

Serious question.

 

You're in a relatively low cost "retirement paradise".... yet many of you expend a lot of effort arguing about Donald Trump.

 

Why?  What's the point?  All politicians suck...you know that.

 

Just enjoy your retirement.

[Lacessit]

It keeps me mentally active refuting the crap MAGAs post.

 

I beg to differ. Nobody sucks as much as Trump.

Is your name really Mike Hunt or are you trying to deliberately  use a highly offensive word to evade the swear filters. Or is it better than your real name, Mickey Labia?

[JAG]

I'm (relatively newly) retired.

 

I don't want to see the world, and the western liberal democratic society in which I was raised, and in which I lived and served most of my life destroyed on the altar of one man's amoral intolerant ego, for the benefit of a small handful of extremely rich, and wanting to be yet richer, people. If the damage was limited to the United States, the perhaps I could watch in a more detached manner, but the events of this week, together with his (Trump's) previously expressed intentions towards Greenland/Denmark, Canada and Panama raise global concerns.

 

There is much to find fault in with Western Liberal Society, but of one thing I am certain, it is infinitely better than the alternative proffered by Trump and his MAGA movement.

 

Less philosophically perhaps (?) I have a 19 year old daughter, and I want her to live in a better world.

Not just Trump, as they seem to hate Thais & Thailand.  Along with RU, CN, USA, EVs and even Solar.

 

Really is mind boggling ...

Biden ruined the lives of the poor. You're the perfect example of not knowing the basics.

The saving grace is that because he has built a cult of personality, something completely missing from his known brood, that cult will quickly disappear, quicker than Boerbet finishing off a theater audience.

 

He's not a healthy man. I'd give him 2 years before he croaks.Vance will be in, but Vance isn't too bright, so he won't win the 2028 election; I'm not even sure he will be nominee. Of course, still time for a lot of damage to occur.

I don't understand the hate leveled at Thailand.  Coming to Thailand is a voluntary activity.

Genuine question; why did your mum give you a pub joke for a name?  Do you do the old wrist shake for added effect? If you are using a fake name, why is there the urge to offend minors?

Too many retired folks lack hobbies and other interests and end up in front of the television in a slow state of decomposition watching politics and come here to reiterate what was pounded into their heads. It’s just reactionary nonsense is all.

Since you ask, It stands for Microbiologist, if you look through other posts. It's not a euphemism that related to obscenities, unlike your user name. I will assume you chose your user name because that's how you live your life, mouthing obscenities to friend, foe, strangers, reflecting how you were brought up. You're refusing to answer my genuine question (I knew a Richard Head, and he laughed about it), so that is what I have to assume, that you have a one track mind, and that's dirt track, and that you are trying to circumvent forum rules. Might have seemed a good idea at the time, but now you are stuck with it.

It seems very likely now that Trump and the MAGA crowd will stop social security payments to those of us living abroad.  That certainly is worthy of worrying and arguing about.

I too don’t want

 to see the world, and the western liberal democracy in which I was raised, and which I lived and served most of my life destroyed on the altar of the cultural Marxist  party that took over the Party of JFK, to benefit a large population of extremely anti American socialists  and Marxist  lacking common sense while thinking government control of every day activities is smarter.

 

I  have  a 45 yr old daughter and a 40 year old son and I want them to live in a better world.

I dont want my country turned into a third world utopian leftist society, spewing antisemitism,pro terrorism anti Americanism

nonsense while supporting and funding men& boys dressed up like woman & girls.

Soft on crime state run judiciary's. Censorship of speech and forced  illegal migration .

Vance is bright. You guys are the dumb ones. You said Vance was a liability last year. He destroyed the left.

Well I'd love my children to have as good a life as I've had. If my only goal in life was to enjoy retirement I's rather take an early exit.
