lol that has to be literally the cheapest private jet imaginable and they have the gall to call it "high-class" while the US president jets around with a 747 and motorcade vehicles, and they're planning to replace their 747 with a new plane.

Also the Dominican Republic has such a pathetic ruling class.

Yet in the hours before Salaam spoke at the convention, many Americans were learning for the first time that the DNC had removed its goal of ending capital punishment from its official platform. The issue had previously been enshrined in the party platform for years, with the language in 2016 especially robust: “We will abolish the death penalty, which has proven to be a cruel and unusual form of punishment,” it read. “It has no place in the United States of America.”

The bill will now be handed over to US President, Joe Biden, who has said he will sign it into law as soon as it reaches his desk.

If that happens, ByteDance will have to seek approval from Chinese officials to complete a forced sale, which Beijing has vowed to oppose. Analysts say the process could take years.

If any of this is true, this rocks. We're going to see the US government censor an entire app used by millions of Americans xicko

You're looking at a magazine called restaurant business online. They have another article about a bunch of people calling the protest of the Israeli PR person's restaurant "anti-semitic".

They miss multiple times in this article. They seem to suggest it's a comflixt that goes back "hundreds of years"??????? And bring up "Islamic fundamentalism" in a prt of the article that seems like they actually think it involves that at all? The racism still seeps through.
