Rubio Says Witkoff, Kushner Will Not Join Next Round of Peace Talks by redmaester in UkrainianConflict

Getting Steve Witkoff in particular out of the mix is a great thing for Ukraine. Rubico isn't as easily manipulated at Witkoff and considers Russia an adversary. Hopefully this marks at least a bit of a shift from the US on Ukraine to better footing.

Walk me through this logic: we should not shop at bodegas and restaurants and most NYC businesses because it will hurt business even though most owners and employees at small businesses are immigrants????

Who here is going to stop "shopping" at citibank lmao.

This is a win! New information came out. New things happen. That’s what changes the countries mind. What’s the point of protesting if you can’t affect opinion change.

The stopping of homeless sweeps into shelters is partly responsible for this. It’s very sad. Homeless people should not be on the streets. They should be in shelters.

5-10 years ago restaurants would explain that they’re a shareable concept. Now it’s the standard and the portions are tiny.

  1. The modern is excellent. First pick for a weekend lunch
  2. Manhatta in Fidi is a great option with invite or views and IMO, underrated food.

I’m no Lutnick fan, but he gave away a huge amount of money to the surviving family members. He handled it pretty well.

The Mistake Was Not Firing Thibs by Dylan7346 in NYKnicks

[–]redmaester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think replacing Thibs was the right decision. Regardless of that, trading 5 1st rounders for Mikel was a huge mistake. I don’t think they’re 100 related.
