Knowing the history of the fortune cookie, an American invention made by immigrants in California based on a cookie originating in the Islamic Republic of Japan, the message I got from this ad is that this moron is going to crush American innovation and leave China unfazed.

It’ll be 45.47 per gallon soon with Republican incompetence.

Probably not for sale since they will want to simply lock the IP in the graveyard rather than let someone else create something with it.

My guess is that his aides used AI to replicate his voice.

Also per his wiki:
Balogun was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Yoruba Nigerian parents.[7][8] His parents were living in London, and visited New York when his mother was seven months pregnant with him. Airline staff did not allow her to board the family’s return flight to London due to safety concerns over the advanced state of her pregnancy, and Balogun was subsequently born in New York.[9] He returned to the United Kingdom with his parents when he was two months old and grew up in London.[10][11][12]
So now I do wonder if he’ll racistly insult and blame this UK native for the US,ks loss.
I mean Democrats won’t but their voters don’t realize that because they’re morons.

We know exactly how she would have voted when she was publicly saying she stood with Liberman even with the already watered down public option proposed by the ACA.
As for Conrad, you literally quoted him saying he won’t vote for a government run plan but supports a government run plan. You’ve got to be as dense as a fruitcake to think that this guy supported a public government run option especially when his actions show the direct opposite of supporting it. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/conrad-settles-into-familiar-role-hard-to-see-how-a-public-option-gets-the-votes
That’s not falling for a hit piece, that’s called a shitty conservative taking out both sides of their mouths while killing a moderate proposal of a public option.
Also, let’s get back to your ludicrous claim that the original public option was just like Germany current plan.

Wow, that’s a bit of not understanding things there.
One, it wasn’t just that independent asshole Joe Liberman, though he was a major problem, that tanked the public option. You had Democrats like short conservative Democrats like Kent Conrad and Blanche Lincoln that simply did not like a public option and refused to vote for healthcare reform with a public option in it. And honestly the public option wasn’t even ideal, M4A would have been better but conservative Democrats would openly bitch and revolt when that’s even mentioned and Obama couldn’t even get something as paltry as the public option passed within his party is not exactly what is be bragging about.
Two, the public option that was proposed by the ACA was significantly different from the German system. The public option proposed by the ACA was going to be funded by the premiums alone, just run by the government to hopefully offer a better deal to help keep other health insurers in check with a larger base and negotiating power and it wasn’t mandatory like the German GKV and based on income. To say the public option in the ACA was identical to the GKV is completely ridiculous and stupid to even say.
Man, get your facts straight there buddy.

Notwithstanding, while I like Obama overall, but Obama gave us the boondoggle of a Republican plan that gave billions to insurance companies to screw over working Americans with high deductible bullshit that made us pay thousands for the privilege of paying thousands to see a doctor and still bankrupting us when we get sick. We were cockblocked by shitty Democrats who refused to get actual universal coverage by giving us a public option and prevented actual sweeping change like the New Deal from even getting a chance.

They’ll gladly rent out usage of a computer to you for a subscription of expensive tokens like gems in a consumer unfriendly video game.
Something about if you buy something but it can be taken away from you arbitrarily by the company…
