Can't wait to see who will call him an anti-Semite for this.

Yep, that's what I was thinking too

Game recognises game. Which in this case is rape and scamming.

Trump probably made them an offer they couldn't refuse.

There's a whole bunch of conditions for the old visa, (eg . You need to 'create' 10 jobs, invest in certain areas, etc) which presumably wouldn't apply to this one.

So just multiply the amount of fraud compared to the existing visa by 5x as well.

The US already has this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EB-5_visa . Trump is just rebranding the same thing and making it sound like it's a new idea.

The more extreme elements of the Israeli government want to expand Israel to the borders of the previous empire at its biggest (not sure if that's based on biblical sources or actual reality, but that doesn't matter to those people anyway). Their ambitions go far beyond 'just having a safe country for Jews'.

And I guess if every country around them is in civil war they can't really pose a threat to Israel beyond the occasional suicide bombing.

I doubt anyone that pays $5 million for citizenship is going to be taking anyone's job.

Something Musk cut again. I'm amazed how despite doing stuff like that Republicans keep getting elected. Seems like an easy attack ad to cut.

I guess it would be nice to plop a magnetic battery pack on your doorbell to charge it. My ring doorbell has a USB port in the back and in most cases you need to take it off completely to charge it inside.

The article and this thread is full of criticism of the Republicans, it's literally about a conflict of interest.

Because nobody's got the expectation that Republicans will do anything good. They campaigned on being assholes, so there's no point in circlejerking about how terrible they are, we all know.

Democrats knew that Trump was going to be a danger to democracy, campaigned on it even, but didn't do anything to facilitate locking him up because they were too busy trying to be bipartisan.

Trump has literally done 100s of crimes that are all well documented in the press, and they fumbled it. Can we please just criticise them for that? And their continued failing to be a proper opposition party?
