        It was less " building" and more “extracting rent as a management company”.

        Any building he did was for corporate space, resorts, or casinos.

    Oh this won’t go well.

    Can we just… not?

    The Military Industrial Complex forces the US to always be at war somewhere around the world. Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Palantir (the big one now), and many others are the reason the US is doing this military campaign. Gotta keep those shareholders happy.

    Yeah, this is great. We’re going to (illegally) invade Mexico ane Venezuela simultaneously, while also occupying our own cities that don’t go along the paramilitary immigration Gestapo. Oh, and we’re also waging chaotic, impulsive trade wars with literally every country on Earth. Maybe we can get a ground war going in Russia as well, really speed run the imperial collapse.

                Wait till you upgrade to 7… GT sport was a decent stopgap, but 7 is so good I’m having trouble believing they can improve on it. The game is very serious but swaps can make it funny as hell. You can put the legendary 2jz Supra engine into a Yaris, a Chiron 1500 HP W16 into a Corvette, the Hellcat engine into a 1942 Willy’s jeep, there’s a lot of ridiculous fun to be had with engine swaps. You can even put a Porsche 911 engine into a VW bus. Good luck winning any races with some of these swaps, but it certainly is funny!

    He’s not going for cartels, the US supplies cartels with weapons and gives drugs to the US. That’s their cash cow!

    He is going because the political parties the US funds in Mexico are loosing popularity and they need to interfere before it’s too late.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
