Last I looked he was in financial ruin which is why he had to sell the gun on ebay. He filed multiple failed lawsuits that were dismissed. His wife divorced him. Accused of intellectual property theft.

He does seem to have an "uncanny" ability to avoid criminal liability though.

Define support.

They're not devoid of allies beyond the US and in general have vocal support of most of the western world.

But only 13 countries recognize them as a country, but not even the US is on that list of 13. Interestingly however, the Vatican does recognize them.

Which is why, they're remain a nice political chess price for China.

Just because you opted in, doesn't make their statement untrue.

The simplicity of use in the walled garden, caters to people who aren't techy. It's a huge reason for their success.

But just like "nontechy" people like my husband can use an android, "techy" people can opt into a system that caters to the opposite.

Generally. Trump has an uncanny ability to secure bank loans though. And, if New York requires him to sell his properties in the fraud case it wouldn't surprise me if he was able to leverage the impending sale to secure the bond and then pull, well, a trump.

Remember, the rules you and I play by are not in effect here.

A better solution might be to just state your preferred genitalia.

Sounds crass but a "strictly dickly" announces the preference without the inherent negative connotations of "no trans please"

Us, never. Just like with China you can't win a land war over here, and a home attack has a greater risk of uniting is against a common enemy.

Taiwan possibly. Though I don't think so. Taiwan is much more useful as a political chess piece that China can beat their chests about. They can invoke the island and be offended about support for it whenever they need leverage right now.

Not to mention it isn't just the US alone that needs Taiwan and movement there risks a global response.

Depends.

He could get a bond to secure the appeal of he can find a bank who will lend to him. Which might be easier, with what looks like the impending sale of his New York properties

Oh someone mentioned it under Washington, but cash n carry is gold too. It's a restaurant supply store and is better for bulk imo than Costco because it's just food and kitchen supplies. Easier to walk in and buy what you need then leave than Costco.

Also, no membership needed

Also sorry if I seemed like a dick. The poppycock thing sounded funny in my head but on reread came across condescending.

Oh poppy cock. Oregon has some pretty diverse grocery options most of them cheaper than Kroger and Albertsons.

For example, corvallis, has a winco, Walmart market, grocery outlet, and traders Joe's, all of which I can easily spend less at than Safeway or Fred Meyer, which is the big Kroger brand in Oregon.

Then there's also, university market and natural grocers, 15 minutes down 22 there's an iga, locally owned chains designed to be close to certain housing, smaller, a little more expensive.

Then there's the Asian (like HK) and Indian (like Desi) markets. There used to be a Mexican grocery they're but it shut down. I'm certain you'll have one in Portland though. These places have amazing specialty ingredients as well as some great deals on standard stuff.

Finally there's a market of choice which is traditionally expensive, but occasionally has some seriously good deals.

Cazadors are worse than deathclaws and I will die on that hill. In fact I did in that hill outside of Goodsprings more often than I care to count because those fuckers keep killing you even after they're dead.

You understand that Italy has areas that are not as densely populated as the city center. In fact some places are down right rural. And the US has some very densely populated square milage.

This is such a wild, wild take on the US's cat centric build.
