    Default Elon Musk With Baller Move For Ukraine?

    Please excuse my ignorance here. On the surface this seems f'ing baller. Maybe there's more to it than I'm not aware of however.

    Internet that regimes can not shut down or censor would be awesome, but somehow I spect we will get internet regulated by Starlink in perfect tune to what the Globalist Elites what.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.

    A good friend texted this week, he owns some land that he got an offer on and if he’s able to rezone it he stands to make $40m. He started off his text with “you want to hear some baller sh*t?”

    So yes, one can talk about athletes and say “he’s a baller” but I hear the term used in business when people talk about big deals.

    I'm sure some do, probably younger ones. But the source is athletic.
    My brother makes big deals routinely and I can assure you he would not think in those terms. And he is a season ticket holder for hos alma mater's basketball and football teams.

    My nephew attached a Minions sticker to the inside of my car door. I had him in his booster seat in the back, and he thought it was so hilarious to do this. He was about 5 when he did this, I think it was about 3 years ago. It has the Minions on it and then said "WORLD'S GREATEST BALLER" . He was going to take it off, but I asked him not to. I kept that on there until I turned my car in for a new one. I LOVED it. And yeah, it's used the way you used it in your first post Cawacko. "Baller move". I thought it was commonly known vernacular , but I guess not.

    Some of us prefer to blame the right-wing. They prefer to invade and shoot first.

    Then why use that for Musk? His parents had stake in an apartheid emerald mine.
