The wealthy here invariably despise trump just like in the UK. They r very worried about his effect on them. The wealthy here (in Va and beyond) could do more, too. It's not exclusive to ex-pats saddened by the wealth disparity in their adopted homes, but not saddened enough to act. Hell, they already do that here, don't they? What I tend to see here is the chicken little anti-Trump crowd. They tend to feed off the energy of a Bobby Deniro, Alec Baldwin, MSNBC screamin' "NAZI" crowd. I don't find that to be an issue when I converse with people on a regular basis. As far as I'm concerned, once a person decides to be an ex-pat, settles up with the tax man as required by law, I wish 'em well. Their political ideology really has nothing to do with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you decide to move because you like the weather better, I wish you bon voyage. If you decide to move because you're tired of the tax situation here in the states, I wish you godspeed. If you decide to move to leverage the poverty in another country with the rules allowing you to improve your standard of living, I think you should try and give more to help the less fortunate (you have a real opportunity to impact lives), but if you don't, I wish you safe travels.

Whenever you’re describing your position, it would be a good idea to post everything and how you described your position You said, chicken, little anti-trump crowd which I find interesting because you’re talking about your positivity yet you think people that don’t like Trump should not take exception to his Hitler like rhetoric and telling people to go to hell on Christmas that sure is some positivity right there Edited December 28, 2023 by John from Riverside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if I try to see things through your lens, I can understand your perspective. I mentioned my observations on the anti-Trump crowd here, and what I tend to see. I used the phrase 'chicken little' because it evokes imagery that reflects what I see, and indicated that tended not to be my experience when people aren't crouching behind a key board hidden in the shadows. I also indicated a 'tendency', not an exclusivity. There are a number of posters I disagree with on topics where the chicken little terminology would not apply. In fact, quite the contrary, I read what they offer and take what I can use from it. When all is said and done, I'd prefer there be no divisive language used by politicians of any stripe. However, that's not the way the game is played. Taking it one step further, I would have preferred that the silliness of the Trump colluding with Russia narrative never have occurred, and never been a lynchpin of the democrat push to regain the White House. Politics is a cyclical and dirty game, the damage to the national psyche was extensive, and it set the stage for what surely would come next. Anyway, have a good night, John. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, gtfoh. Who did you "remove ", tough guy? Personally, I think most of the reason you are here is because you feel emasculated since stopping practicing, and are trying to get "wins" by spamming a message board with nonsense that you hardly believe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
