He also gets the softest questions money can buy, because he's bought practically every congressperson.

Not a huge fan of Colbert but respect and agree with what he did. Ellison and his ilk (Weiss included) are greedy, power hungry, anti-American, Israel-first leeches. Tax the hell out of them, already.

Can't hold him accountable. He's too wealthy and owns too many congressmen/women.

Well, considering the nature of all this...if there's anything to hasten full unredacted disclosure, we should absolutely encourage that.

he's played other GMs while very drunk and playing bullshit openings. He still wipes the floor with them. Guy is just a beast even compared with normal grandmasters.

I doubt that. Stockfish 11 years ago as you claim (which around then was rated approximately 2800), maybe. Stockfish today? Stockfish on Lichess is 3000 and that's not even running at full capacity. A fully supported Stockfish runn

Both suck. At least the CCP is somewhat loyal to the Chinese people and somewhat dedicated improving the standard of living in China. Ellison is loyal to... checks notes ... Israel.

Possibly, yes, but those executives have enough money to cut a deal to not only stay out of jail, but to also fund the re-election campaign for the DA + prosecution team, and to also give a job to the prosecutor's cousin, sibling, and&

The question is why you'd use money you raised for anything but the reason you raised it. You've probably raised a shit ton more than I have, but hear me out - when one raises, there's generally a timeline of fund deployment

Uh, that's not "better". If you have a huge chunk of change sitting around, you've raised too much or too early, and you've successfully diluted yourself for zero reason. If you actually had a reason to raise a lot

Well, what's nice is that no matter the words Trump can call something or someone, the words that can be accurately used to describe him are far worse. Words like pedophile, (convicted) rapist, (convicted) fraudster, criminal, puppet,

You're not counting the money they paid to Adam Neumann to walk away, which was over a billion dollars as well. Imagine doing what was effectively fraud, building a cult around you, everything going completely to the fan, and then the

Or you just get another loan from another party to pay the initial loan back. Bezos probably has an army of banks, private lenders, and private capital connections to effectively have a lifetime of loans against his Amazon shares. It's
