    people in the US don't realize how good we have it. One of my neighbors is from Turkey, celebrated getting his US citizenship during covid and he was finally able to bring his wife over. She can barely speak English, but has been all smiles for like the year she's been here. Want to know what a failed country is really like? Talk to an immigrant.

    I usually reserve judgement on billionaires until the media tells me whether they’re good or bad.

    Immigrant here. And you're right about the US having the superior system of govt. But what I saw during the Trump years was almost exactly the beginnings of the fucked up, corrupt system my folks and I came here to escape. Very disappointing, this "American Exceptionalism" brought low by the most obvious con man I've ever seen on a debate stage. And y'all just fell for it.

    Looks like Ukraine hit another ship. Ukrainian authorities claiming the Admiral Makarov is on fire after being struck by a Ukrainian Neptune missile.

    The IDF Murdered a uniformed Al Jazeera reporter. Can people please stop pretending that Israel isn’t the worst (fake) countries on the planet?

    I would love to know why a so-called nation that is trying harder than any to commit genocide is a “staunch ally” and a “valuable friend” to the west.

    Because it's the "Holy Land"?
    Because they have a bunch of dirt on us?
    Because if we abandoned them, everyone would call us evil anti semites?

    Aren't we allies with China? They're better at genocide.

    Isn't the idea for being such good buddies with Israel that they're the only country in the middle east we can count on not wanting to nuke the U.S.? Something something a stable government in the middle of an unstable area?

    Please. If you guys actually abandoned the Jews then who would you have to write all your funny sitcoms about blacks and Hispanics?

    The interesting part of any sale or acquisition is that the seller generally puts together a Data Room where the purchaser gets to go in and look at ALL the shit that is under the covers.

    I would not be surprised if Elon did this just to get access to that highly sensitive internal info, even if he is under NDA.

    Add some condition to the sale that is almost a sure thing to fall through, and you get a peek at how the sausage is made.
