because in Europe you are surrounded by people from other nationalities

Excuse me but what? Europe is hardly a diverse place.

"By Gören's measure, the world's most culturally diverse country is the African nation of Chad, which counts more than 100 ethnic groups among its 8.6 million residents. Chad is also Africa's fifth-largest country by area, spanning over 495,624 square miles, which has enabled Chad's ethnic groups to live and operate autonomously despite several attempts to unify them. Most of the 100 languages spoken in Chad are Nilo-Saharan and Afro-Asiatic in origin and do not overlap with ethnic group identities. Arabic, Sara, and French are common across the country, especially Arabic, an important commercial language.

African countries often rank highly in studies of cultural diversity thanks to their many tribal groups and languages. In fact, Canada is the only western country among the top 20 most diverse countries."

I wonder how may members of congress get kickbacks from big oil? Is there a list somewhere of that?

I've met plenty of people from Africa: Kenya, Ghana, Mozambique, Sudan, Ethiopia; who are great friends and colleagues to this day from my days at NASA JPL

Incredibly brilliant people live outside of Europe too

Baby Boomers are already dying off, most are in their 70's and retired now

I actually agree, there are many many things to hate America for, and I agree with them, and I will always vocally oppose those elements of this country and encourage others to do so, but, there's also some great things we've done as a country and a people that I very much am proud to have been a part of personally. I won't make pretense to the contrary simply because there are elements for which we ought to, and do, criticize

Yeah, and we all know the Salem Witch Trials were totally validated after all these centuries right?

Are you being serious?

This is good news, Trump tried this same stunt in 2018 and was shot down by the same Judge.

He was forced to buy it, don't you recall his court case? I mean he literally signed the contract then tried to weasel out of the deal by saying Twitter was overvalued and took it to court and lost.

He only ever wanted to destroy twitter so he never cared to begin with

I don't really remember those days, they seem like a lifetime ago to me but I listened to a town hall he did not long ago and he was on the ball the whole time, I felt he came off more as a Democrat with some of the things he says

But I admit I'm pretty ignorant of his governing days and the trump stuff, I just don't remember it that well with everything that was going on

Also isn't Newsweek literally a Republican publication? Or am I thinking of something else

The article makes it sound like he's already President or something, and no, he won't be.
