Booker has gained huge respect for it -- and deservedly so.

👏👏👏👏👏

In the words of a friend:

"Cory Booker dismantles another Confederate monument."

Senator Cory Booker was on his feet for over 25 hours, speaking for most of it ... and he stayed on topic, and dropped truth bombs left and right.

It was amazing, and I wouldn't have believed that anyone could remain eloquent, impassioned, and incisive for 25 hours, Booker did so.

Not only did he blast past that record which stood for 67 years, but where the mediocre racist phoned it in (no pun intended) by reading from the DC phone book, and reading the text of legislation to fill the time ... (cont'd)

A long, long time ago (early 90s?), I sat and chatted with Peter and you for ages at a tiny Star Trek con in Dublin. All the while, Peter drew many, many starships all over the paper "tablecloth". :D It was a very chill, very enjoyable afternoon. Thank you both for being so friendly and engaging.

Hi Diane! I bought the "whole store bundle". I look forward to reading them, and to letting my kids read them. :) I am happy to be able to help a little with your expenses. You and Peter are good eggs.

Correction: I said $1M for the EB-5. It is now $1.8M.

(It was updated as of November 21, 2019 from $1M to $1.8M.)

The EB-5 investor visa program has the same goal as the latest crass "idea". To bring money, investment, jobs, and generated economic activity to the US.

The EB-5 program is a *radically* better deal for people who want a way in to the US than cheeto's suggestion.

(i) It costs you only $1M, not $5M
(ii) You get to keep the investment from your $1M, not pay it to the government.

2. For decades (at least), the US has had a way to buy yourself and your family permanent residency. The EB-5 Investor Visa program.

1. He's not "selling citizenship"; he is proposing to sell permanent residency.

Holy crap! That's awful 😢
