Well, ifm it’s what I think you mean, I don’t wish that on anybody, good, bad, or ugly.  I just know everybody has their own style and ways of getting things done, we don't have to like it, or agree with it, just have to wait t out and see if it works.  Some people are better working in background where the public never knows what they are doing, some are not so talented.       Peace

Yeah, Mussolini had his own "style" too.

Are democrats abandoning their failed party and moving to the republican party? Maybe these hapless lost souls should be offered some form of "asylum" and definitely intense therapy and counseling to deal with derangement, delirium and chronic Trump psychosis.

Perhaps Monte is a few cards short of a full deck.

 

Look at which States have the highest number of people on Social Security Disability Insurance and SNAP...

 

Red States

 

Look at the relative GDP of Counties Trump won vs the Democrats. Trump won 85% of all US Counties, but collectively they total only 37% of US GDP.

 

The 15% of Counties the Dems won account for 63% of US GDP.

 

Do the math: Dem areas are 9.25 times more productive than Repub areas.

 

Democrats and Liberals make continued existence possible for slacker MAGAs. That is the Dems main fault.

 

The Blue States, who on balance are the largest net contributors to the Federal Budget, could secede and leave MAGAstan destitute.

Absolutely nothing in your post had anything to do with my statement.

Apparently you fail to read Trump's social media posts. I believe that is considered a kind of heresy in MAGAstan, but I won't tell the masked stormtroopers.

 

Trump is the king of "DERANGED" "CROOKED" "LOSER" "LOW RATINGS" "LOW IQ" (reserved for Black people).

 

Trump has so much hate to give that even Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and Nicolle Wallace get a dose.

 

Nobody hates like Trump. Many people are saying he's the best hater ever.

That’s good, let all that hate out brother, it will eat you alive. 

 

Let a little love in, it won’t hurt you.

You have no evidence of your so called Trump racism.  Just that leftist disease that spreads like cancer.

 

I can provide you with decades of Biden’s racism.

I spend 90% of my time in Chiang Rai city.

 

IIRC you are Canadian. You sound like an American anyway, which is why you would not get the comments I do.

 

I don't go around asking for opinions from Americans. it's what they volunteer.

Yes, he claimed hedge fund manager after his termination from the secret squirrel agency.

Europeans have been seeking escape at record numbers for decades, chiefly for tax, not political, reasons.

Some may want to go back to the US in old age. Havng the wallet to do this. What about those that lived 20 years abroad? Not filing for taxes as below "reporting-level".

 

Look at your US Passport, page 4 to 5. That will reduce your wish to return to the US permanantly dramatically.

Better quality than Pattaya, although that's a pretty low bar.

 

It's hard to work out your nationality. Sometimes you are posting from a Kremlin bunker. Given you lie so often, you could be an Ethiopian.

 

They looked pretty normal to me, and they weren't screeching. I guess in your world, people who wear MAGA hats and buy Trump schlock are normal.

Sorry to disabuse you of the world outside you little village, but normal Americans dont walk up to folks and say "Hi, Im Brad, and I hate Donald Trump".

 

I see they are attacking synagogues in Australia. What would John Monash say?

Repatriating after a long time can be very challenging depending on the situation. Some people still have a strong family/friends support system in place back there but the longer you're away, the less likely that would be the case.

A useful thing to do just in case is to try to keep a US based credit history in place and that it reflect good credit.

Otherwise, renting an apartment may become EXTREMELY difficult.

As far as Americans meeting Americans IN Thailand, it' my experience that Americans are usually sniffing around for clues about the politics of a new person. Not really with very casual acquaintances but more than that and it matters. This would also apply to apolitical people. I'm guessing here but I reckon they'd prefer the company of other apolitical people rather than partisans on either side.

Trump's health is failing. He has pronounced edema in his ankles, which is a sign of congestive heart failure. The very recent bruising on his hand looks like thrombocytopenia, another potentially dangerous medical condition.

The White House medical staff say he is in excellent health. My BS meter has gone off scale.

 

It could be you are going to look even more stupid than usual, wearing that hat.

Not a tax on every American, only the ones that buy products not made in the USA.

Yeah.  Everyone's still wondering what they pumped him full of before the SOTU.  If only they could have kept him amped up for 4 years straight, maybe he'd know what they were doing in his name with the autopens.

True. However, IMO you would find it very difficult to discover an American who buys products which are exclusively of USA manufacture.

But I do worry about the un-punishing of the Nazi thugs who invaded the Capitol on January 7, 2021. When a [totalitarian] regime goes down that path noting stops them from repressing their innocent opponents.

As soon as you see the words "fascist thugs" these days, you know you are also seeing a Marxist inspired anarchist. Did you read the report that well over a hundred of those present were FBI? Did you read that evidence is coming out that those elections were rigged? That the whole thing could have been avoided if requests for National deployment had been fulfilled? I doubt it.
