We take in more than the next three countries combined. And this is immigrants, so it doesn't consider 2nd and 3rd generations. The US is the most diverse nation in the history of the world; you'll have to forgive the eyeroll when I read your post.

You need help my guy. You are obsessed; the world isn't coming to an end anytime soon. I'm not sure how you are alive with that much white knuckling stress.

None of this is gonna matter because Mossad just assassinated the Army Chief of Iran, Ali Shademani. There isn't anyone left to bomb, ha...

This was so funny I've thought about it all day - perfectly captures my thoughts.

Assuming honorable discharge, immediate family (spouse and/or children) of any service member should be granted full citizenship, period.

Waving a foreign flag in a protest where private property is being burned isn't as awesome as you think it is. This isn't about 'having flags' and it's a complete misrepresentation of what is happening. I'm not a Trump fan and I don't like sending in troops; but imagine trying to live in...

That was such a blunder. We had negotiated the heck out of deal to put China in a corner and Trump didn't like that he didn't get credit for it so he trashed it and here we are.

Another day, another massive swing in the stock market. This is totally an awesome thing that is very healthy. Like how a really healthy heart stops and starts and changes rhythm constantly in a super healthy 85 year old that totally doesn't have high cholesterol. So healthy. Each one...

Yup. We're driving up costs for no reason other than 'trade imbalance bad'. What is really hilarious for me to think about is that if it was Biden that had done this, Trump would be on the sidelines saying how this is bad for America.

The way I interpret Trump rejecting the EU offer is that he thinks the US needs a positive trade balance with every country, which is, quite frankly, insane. Like real bananas, delusional. Even if it were possible to do, you'd have to 'unmake' the current world and particularly American...

You really don't want to go down that rabbit hole. For a lot of reasons.

Almost no one has an income of $10M per year. And before you say 'billionaires', they aren't getting an income, they are getting stock options and borrowing against those; good luck taxing that, because it's debt, not income.

My reaction on seeing that 3rd person reference: This feels like it's not heading in a great direction.

Would love to get @Rob B. and @Stillwaterman take on this. If you are making moves that benefit your adversaries - you're probably making the wrong moves.

I'm sure you know this because of your extensive international contacts and experience in foreign relations. Economic instability is the number 1 way to topple a government. And you don't even have to invoke Godwin's law: Lenin, Napoleon, Mao, Caesar, Mehmed II (and the fallout of countless...
