Any country that holds a referendum for statehood, and who's government petitions the US for statehood, should be undeniably ENTITLED to a hearing in Congress, a minimum amount of open debate on the floor, and a binding vote.
I will say this about Italy, this is the best tasting toothpaste I have ever used, and itβs not even close. Must find in America when I return home.
Not to sound like an obnoxious tech douche, but itβs REMARKABLE how far behind Europe has fallen in technology as a result of regulatory overreach and ludditism.
When I lived here almost 20 years ago the average European had better internet connectivity, mobile coverage and speed, and consumer technology. Today, coming back, it feels like none of that has improved since I left, and in many case gotten worse.
This is an admission that only a Eurocentric white American would make. Arab nationalists are quite proud of their conquest of the region and expulsion of the Jews from their homeland. Their claims donβt even deny the existence of the pre-Arab jewish presence
But also, like, 3000 years ago is not pre-history. We have endless first-hand accounts, art, legal documents, literature, poetry, etc. from this time. Itβs not like itβs some mythic time period we have reconstructed through guesswork. It was incredibly well documented.
Literally nobody is making these things competitive except YOU. Millions of normal people do them every day without any pretense or illusion of trying to be great at them. Have you never been to karaoke at a dive bar?

You do start to appreciate why the Catholic Churchβs stance for most of history was βyou idiots are NOT allowed to form your own opinionsβ
Oh we are NOT going to get a lecture on the fucking Logan Act from trump sucking elon fanboys. Trump and his people spent the entirety of the Biden administration in frequent, flagrant, and proud violation of the Logan Act.
UKRAINE: Obamaβs team including Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Susan Rice, and Alexander Vindman advised Zelensky to reject Trumpβs deal in violation of the Logan Act.

Zelenskyy doesnβt have anything to thank America for so long as even 1 Russian breaths Ukrainian air. He can thank us if we actually gave him the resources and support he needs to send every sub-human Russian sociopath into an early grave for back home to their inbred families.
Obligatory McDonaldβs in foreign country. I always try the unique items we donβt have in the US. From Italy, chicken wings (6/10, remind me of 7-Eleven wings), and Asiago and Ham bites (8/10, would recommend.)
Internet and cellular connectivity in Italy is giving me flashbacks to like 2002 in America. Abysmal.
Yesterday when I was going through customs entering Italy the border agent that checked my passport asked, point blank, if we supported Donald Trump. When we said βfuck noβ she smiled, thanked us, and started talking shit about him while she completed our paperwork.
