There seems to be some debate on that, but he definitely wrote a song in 2017 that should have been released a couple of months ago. 😁

And there will be no measurable consequences even if all evidence should happen to point to insider trading. If there's even an investigation I'll be amazed.

And THAT is what "undermines faith in government and the markets."

I dunno, I hope you are right, but every time I see a headline like that it turns out to be a feel-good article based on two random disgruntled twitter posters or something.

It‘s not terrorism if the perpetrator turn themself in?

It's not terrorism if it's a lover's spat.

Considering the victims are rumored to be an engaged couple and the perpetrator been seen waiting, I’m thinking a more personal motive like jealousy, or a specific case, rather than racism.

But in fairness it's all just speculation currently.

That's OK though. Libs were owned. Another event that will do nothing to harm the support from Trumps base.

No amount of death or self-harm matters to magas as long as libs were owned and some brown people were put in their place.

LOL I know further assurances will just look even worse so I'll stop here. 😂

Although I now see it too, I assure you with absolute sincerity that I really was trying to create an overhead view of two apples being sliced with one stroke.

How much more dystopian can it get? Hang onto your hat!

The US Department of Homeland Security is reportedly considering an “out-of-the-box” pitch to participate in a television gameshow that would have immigrants compete to obtain US citizenship.

Department spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin described the pitch to the New York Times as a “celebration of being an American” and said the show would include challenges based on American traditions.

In a statement, McLaughlin said: “We need to revive patriotism and civic duty in this country, and we’re happy to review out-of-the-box pitches. This pitch has not received approval or rejection by staff.”
