I could see Trump giving Gabbard, Nikki Haley’s old job as US Ambassador to the U.N.. In that way she be under leash to the Sectretary of State whoever that is, although I would not be the least bit surprised to see Trump bring back Mike Pompeo in the top diplomat role.

That implies that there’s a legitimate shot that he wins.

You don't believe the polls?

I believe they are immaculate from the start.

My feeling about my neighborhood is that a Trump yard sign will be shunned, at least by the people I’ve met so far. But I’ve also seen one in a garage as a walked by. Should be interesting.

Inaccurate. FU autocorrect

I considered whether it was autocorrect or sarcasm, but the meaning was the same in both cases.

@taiwan_girl silly question, but how are you so in tune with US politics, just this forum? It’s very impressive but I have no idea what I’d expect if I were born and living abroad.

@89th This board in its topics is pretty diverse, but for politics, the focus is (mostly) on the US.

I am not native born but a US citizen also, so it is interesting.

The US influence and power is much greater than its population % as compared to the world total population.

Plus, I guess I just like current events. LOL

It is impressive, I just have to say! Many dumb Americans, including myself, have no clue what's going on in other countries.

I wasn’t aware that you had become a US citizen.

I had always been under the impression you were working for the Taiwanese foreign service in various postings as a commercial officer.

jon-nyc

I figured either that or an international org like world bank, un, etc.

Renauda

@jon-nyc

I could see an IFI like the Asian Development Bank as well.

Copper

I figured she was engaged in some kind of espionage.

And I'm about 70% sure that she might be Jolly.

Jolly

You bet yer fishnets, papa-san...

For many years I have assumed that @taiwan_girl is a US citizen working for the State Department. :man-shrugging:

I have no insider information to back that up, just an impression I have developed from reading her posts here.

She has an extraordinary web of spies and informants, which rivals even my own.
