It's an art piece and social commentary that is aimed at awareness an reducing gun deaths.I think the shock value is what they are going for. It's not real, and you can't actually rent a gun. |

Does anyone know more about this Chinese company ZTE? I'm not up to date on this stuff and his tweet is confusing at best.

Reports are 37 dead, 1500 injured in protests on this day, the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem. But Kush is TOTALLY bringing peace to the middle east. (also how is he still involved with NO security clearance?)

I'm not too sure but they have been showing clips of the last NatSec hearing and all of the guys were like LOLNO we would not recommend using ZTE products and Haspel in her hearing last week was in agreement with them. I do know they were slapped for espionage which is why they are losing jobs. So we punished them, the punishment worked, they are losing business (because intellectual espionage is very bad) and now 45 wants to help them out. Basically because he wants Chinas help with NK. AND because he doesnt understand globalism. Or basic english |

I've been frequenting internet forums for a long time and along the way I became friends with an Indonesian woman. The bombings there happened in her city; her son's school has been canceled indefinitely. She posted yesterday about the awful, graphic scene they witnessed. I'm heartbroken for them.

OMG the prerecorded message they just played. It was like he was reading off cue cards, with weird pauses and squinting.
Also I have no faith that this won't lead to war.

Yeah last night on the news they were interviewing tons of people on their reactions after seeing it. It’s a pretty powerful piece and I have no issues with it being displayed. Just wish it would make a difference actually. |

Unfortunately, anyone who objects to Bibi's actions will just be painted as sympathizing with terrorists.

Now that the ban has been removed, states can start allowing it. It's taxable income, which can mean more money for the states, which is a good thing. It will take some time to implement, of course. The suit was brought by the state of New Jersey. I wonder if it can help save what's left of AC, now that sports books can be in the casinos? |
