It is getting tough to avoid being infected by Trump news every day all around the world. Yeah, we have it much harder here in the US. Getting so depressing when you realize we have 3 more years of this lunatic shit with his bunch of sycophant stooges.

Just wait until Cardless debanks you (just kidding)]]></description>

I watched the speech in Detroit and I can&#039;t see how anyone can watch that and think that it&#039;s not the ramblings of a demented fool. It has been fantastic having distance from the situation. We are working towards being in the situation to give up US citizenship.  Would make our life easier not having to share every aspect of our financials with US authorities whilst they let the big boys skate by.

Our Hyatt situation might get us 30 nights this year but not sure that we feel inclined to keep on the treadmill. Problem is husband has a 7 night stay in Europe this month and already it starts the chase. Think our problem will be solved once Chase debanks us like Schwab and Wells Fargo have. If we can&#039;t do credit card spend won&#039;t be much hope of hitting Globalist and it might be a relief.]]></description>

So, assuming you no longer hold the personal CSR for 4x on flights booked direct or 8x on Chase travel portal?

Or 5x on personal Amex Platinum? 

Of course the annual fees on those lol.

Told my wife to just use the Venture X on everything else and the CSP on dining...Simplicity is gaining in this game, especially after the mega BS thrown out by Bilt yesterday in front of paid off bloggers/vloggers who don&#039;t dare criticize the company.

For the record, TBB was not even invited lol.]]></description>

I find myself trying to find a string of 30 days I can book a Cat 1 hotel in BKK again :-)
But I have so much going on right now that I just don&#039;t have any mental bandwidth to focus on it. Frankly, not seeing it but this is what I said last year as well. Hopefully I do 40 to grab those GofH certs at least. And would love to shift more spend on my personal Hyatt Visa but the multipliers suck so badly...

#developing

Proposal in Congress to kill 2nd passports. I mean, every freaking day here is unimaginable hits to our mental psyche by the lunatic sycophants kissing Don&#039;s fat ass. I miss boring right now, we all do...And we have more than three years to go omg!

Actually, 1,100 days to go:

					<description><![CDATA[Hi George, so what is your strategy for Globalist this year? Looking grim from where we are sitting to hit it, but then again we think given how average their properties are becoming not sure we care, however we all know will probably go for it again though it will be a stretch.

Everyday when I wake up and see the news I am so grateful we have a second passport and made the choice to leave the US. Australia might be boring but it&#039;s way better than the circus in the US.]]></description>
