@Noahpinion Somebody should check whether Barron shorted the market before this ridiculous announcement, which will no doubt be reversed.

Did they realize that some groyper staffer fed them an idea that would tank the entire tech industry, and they just robotically approved it?
Camilo Montoya-Galvez@camiloreports
In a new statement, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Zach Kahler suggests that green card applicants in the U.S. who will provide an "economic benefit" or serve the "national interest" will be allowed to complete their processing here, without having to leave.
English
People need to calm down.
Trump is going to reverse course on this green card rule in short order.
This would be exceptionally damaging to the tech sector.
Not to mention it'll make it harder, virtually impossible in some cars, for companies to move business back to the US.

@RippleXrpie Trump is a buffoon. He was too lazy to prepare, so he gives the CCP a propaganda victory without realizing it. Then he worsens it with post-summit blatherings. If you want an America that looks timid, short-sighted, and senseless, he's drfinitely the guy.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🚨CHINA CONFIRMS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP LEFT BEIJING EMPTY-HANDED:
- NO agreement on Iran.
- NO concessions on Taiwan.
- NO H200 deal.
- NO decision on rare earth trucks.
- NO release of Jimmy Lai, and fewer Boeing aircraft orders than expected.
It was just a holiday trip…

@TheBoysOOCC First genuinely good episode of the season imo. Sam's cameo was surprising and hilarious.

Eric Kripke revealed how they landed Samuel L. Jackson in #TheBoys
“We just reached out to his reps. We just said, "Hey, would Sam be interested in doing this?..." If I remember correctly, the rep's response was,
"We'll ask him, but probably not." And then, they came back and said, "He'll do it. He's a fan of the show, and he's happy to do it."

@DerekPederson3 We'll win the AI race, in which case, China's massive superiority in drones will be irrelevant, or we'll surrender Taiwan. But we shouldn't say that, cuz we gain deterrence from the Hamburger Hill principle.
English
This has been the US stance for awhile. We favor a peaceful resolution but oppose any violent attempts to resolve cross-strait differences.
Completely missing the bigger issue though: what will this administration do if China does resort to military force?
Open Source Intel@Osint613
US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio: I think China's preference is probably to have Taiwan willingly voluntarily join them. In a perfect world, what they would want is some vote or a referendum in Taiwan that agrees to fold in. I think that's what they would prefer. Ultimately it's featured prominently in President Xi's mandate in the time he's been in office. He's made clear that what they call reunification, what they call it, is something that has to happen at some point. We think it would be a terrible mistake to force that through force or anything of that nature.
English
@animalfarmnow @McFaul He may think he's being diplomatic because he's personally moved by inane flattery. He's not going to move Xi with that shit. He just looks like he's kissing ass. That's how the Chinese will take it. Rest of the world will take it as: Americans elected a game show host for Prez.
English
@McFaul “Appear” to whom?
Don’t get me wrong I am concerned about China and whether or not Trump understands Communist China’s motivations, but I have no problem with Trump using honey rather than vinegar all the time.
English
I’m struck by how often Trump referred to Xi as his “friend” and a “great leader.”
Xi Jinping, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, is a dictator. He also offered no such reciprocal praise for Trump.
That asymmetry makes Trump appear in a visibly weaker position.

@JJMaTrader @Bornakang To keep it interesting, sleep has to be prohibited.

@Bornakang That's actually where you would sleep. You just switch up your sleeping schedule, and show up to sleep for 8 hours, then go live your life outside of that schedule. It would be odd, but for 45$ an hour, I'd do it for a couple of years at least.

I doubt that, you commie git. The oil embargo is in every US history textbook.
Those books also explain WHY America imposed an embargo. Read about Japan's 1937 invasion of China and the Nanjing Massacre! Or the 1940 occupation of Vietnam.
Japan was building an empire.

@XDex91 @tommysantos14 @PeteHegseth @DeptofWar He also doesn't want to capitalize CAPTAIN for emphasis, so he confusingly uses quotation marks, implying irony. Just the level of precision we'd expect from Hegseth.

@XDex91 @tommysantos14 @PeteHegseth @DeptofWar He's apparently too dumb to know a Navy Captain is O-6, equivalent to an Army Colonel.

“Captain” Mark Kelly strikes again.
Now he’s blabbing on TV (falsely & dumbly) about a *CLASSIFIED* Pentagon briefing he received.
Did he violate his oath…again? @DeptofWar legal counsel will review.
Margaret Brennan@margbrennan
After hearing the Pentagon classified brief on Iran war impact on US weapons stockpiles, Senator Mark Kelly says it is "shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines." He said the Tomahawks, ATACMS, SM-3, THAAD rounds, Patriot rounds, so those interceptor rounds to defend ourselves have been hit hard. He says it'll take years to replenish those stockpiles, which could affect a hypothetical US conflict with China. @FaceTheNation

@ryancduff Men do lots of things. If you feel you need a war to validate your insecure masculinity, head to Ukraine or Russia. Be sure to keep us updated on the fruits of your Christly war-seeking.

@peterawolf Though RLM also made other points that he's not just a brutal and menacing enforcer.
He mostly delegates. He's sassy. He doesn't have the energy to bother choking out the final officer who fails him in ESB. He just walks away.
English
RLM made this point, too.
Vader was a more compelling character when he was just a brutal and menacing enforcer for the Emperor, but his popularity convinced Lucas to turn him into prequel Space Jesus.
Pizza@number_pizza111
If you only watch A New Hope, Vader is presented as a sort of Space Rasputin only tolerated because the Emperor likes him. Very different from the Sith Lord we know today.

Striking Iran in response to their attacks on UAE is the right move. It's unfortunate it seems we had to be talked into it

@peterrhague 2 and 1, both great in their day. But I think the peak in terms of strategy is 4. If you asked me which was the greatest, I'd say 1. That was a brilliancy when it came out. Kind of like Elite where you just have to marvel at how much they could squeeze into so little space.

Ok, time to settle it once and for all. Which was the best Civ game?

@DrNeilStone Who cares? Let them have this one. The more you fight it, the more you'll fuel their conspiratorialism. They'll learn the hard way, which is the only kind of learning some people are willing to take.
