Years ago, we used to call this site "Thai visa.com" Now it is full of politics, mostly about Trump. This site is full of trolls, not much about visas anymore. I remember Ubon Joe and all his helpful advice now. We have only trolls posting the same thing every day, and I don't want to name them. Anti-vaxers who can not prove anything, or MAGA supporters, every time I disagree with them, I am called a leftie 

Change this site to how it used to be, end of rant.

  • This site is taken over by Trump topics and MAGA supporters.

  • I agree it has lost its way.  People who are insane about Trump should seek professionsl help rather then dumping it all on this site. Anything Trump should be banned.

  • Plenty of users ignore political topics if it doesnt interest them, why cant you do the same? Trump derangement possibly?

   You have just started yet another squabble . '

I can see your point. 

Certainly there is lot of USA politics. 

Think admin introduced "political soapbox" forum to provide a forum for the back and forth that politics often brings. 

 

Personally I avoid many forums. 

For a time it was the TAX debates. 

We have in recent years... Covid, Vaccine debates, USA politics, Tax (possible changes)..etc

List goes on. 

Think the "Visa, work permits.. " forum tries to keep topics on track and provide information.

That's nonsense. 

There is a mod on here who is dedicated to answering any questions about visas.

And he's on top of every visa thread. 

 

Once you have your visa sorted out, how many questions about visas do you need answered?

You spend your waking life in Thailand thinking about visas 24/7?

 

You're not even in Thailand, so why would you care about reading about visas? 

Trump threads have DRAMA ... and that's why they're so popular.

What strikes me as curious is why so many non-Americans are so supportive of Trump and his ridiculously damaging policies and his horrific nature and personality. It's a very strange phenomenon.

What you should find more curious is that you didn't have a presidential candidate capable of beating Trump

One possible explanation is the foreigners see how their own home country is failing with the liberal mindset. Especially in the immigration department.

 

They understand for their own country to survive hardline conservative values must prevail.

What more is there to say about visa's ?

Limited subject.

 

What more is there to say about Thailand ?

Same old same old , now back with the shins.

 

The only thing of interest is the tax on our money,

and that is a fuzzy subject.

 

Shall we discuss the daily changing TAT numbers ?

Boring !

 

 

Like it or not but the world turns around Trump now.

Despite his disastrous foreign policies and being in the pocket of israel,

and breaking his promise for not starting wars, most of us wish

we had a leader that does some good like kicking out illegals,

ending woke sh!t and DEI , going after the deepstate criminals,

leveling trade and deficits with tariffs, cleaning up voting,...

 

Thanks to Trump , AN , former thaivisa , is a little less far left,

and allows some voices of reason (aka the right).

I absolutely agree Harris was a terrible candidate and it was a choice between two horrific selections. As dreadful as he is, I understand why some people selected Trump. 

Agreed US politics is irrelevant and boring here. I was under the impression that forum rules state that all topics must be Thailand related???

Just "follow" one or more of the Mods on the visa forum.

 

They will invariably reply/contribute to any relevant subject/query that comes up and you will get a notification.........no need for you to involve yourself with all the other nonsense.

 

As for those of whom you complain:

There were multiple candidates who were more than qualified and could possibly have been sitting in the oval had the Dem regime allowed for a clean primary, but the powers that be wanted Harris. And now here we are. Heavy sigh . . .

The people you refer to are largely no longer about and younger replacements tend to be on different social media.

 9 years ago when this was TVS , 26 threads out of the first 50 threads either contained the Words Trump or Clinton .

   Posters at the time complained about it then

And there it is!

Ever the victim, ever gloating, always spouting US political propaganda despoiling this once useful Thailand expats forum.

Endlessly repeating the same childish personal insults as if he thinks he has a free thinking wit and is not just a brainwashed flunky.
