    It's a 10% each deal for China&USA isn't it? So your Chinese sourced stuff will all be available but now cost you all about 10% more in the shops; and your Government will make 10% of $462billion. Right?

    Surely USA constitution rules are crystal clear. Foreign gifts to an individual government employee above a specific value (currently $480) are not allowed and if given presumably become the property of the Federal government. A person accepting and keeping an expensive foreign gift is stealing from the US government. And your libraries must be rather different from those in the UK. Can you go there and ask to borrow the plane? Does is get stamped with a due date

    I’ve known her for a while. We sit on an advisory committee together. She’s a total MILPH (Mother I’d Like To Plow Heroically).

    For the past 10-15 years, democrats (and black democrats in particular) have been promoting segregation.

    @89th said in Doesn’t she have a dog to kill?: If true, a big if... that is evil. Let’s back it up here. It’s not like as if the other contestants are not granted citizenship. We also don’t know the nature of the “challenges”. It could very well be a reality show highlighting the challenges snd best ways of navigating them to achieve legal citizenship. If the show is demonstrating the proper way go through the immigration process, then it’s not evil at all. It’s a great good. But if you phrase it like the twitiot, it sounds like some absurd game show, and sure, that’s pretty low. But let’s get the details, first.

    I can only guess - possibly a thermobaric rocket mortar. Nasty for sure, but effective and permissible as an anti-infantry weapon. Sucks the O2 out of the blast area. Russians have used them regularly since the 2022 invasion.

    Very short ride. I wanted to take one from the airport to downtown but they don’t pick up at the airport. So I accidentally went to the wrong hotel and my actual hotel was three blocks away. Mayla didn’t want to walk as her knee was acting up from the flight, I was embarrassed to call a human being for a 0.2 block ride. So it was a perfect solution. I’ll probably keep taking them while I’m here.

    I wonder how many turn into sales? There was the recent article about Cyber truck. How many reservations were made on it, but only like 5% turned to sales.

    I’ve gotten quite good at ventriloquism recently. Scared the shit out of my urologist the other day.
