Yep. I'm convinced the LDS Church harbors all kinds of crime, at all levels, for precisely that sense of "you are a member of the Church before EVERYTHING else, including nationality" mindset. Add in the "Lying is okay if you're doing it for the Lord" slippery slope, and you're suddenly above the law. I just wonder how much of a backlash will even happen if/when the financial and/or sexal abuse secrets are exposed, members are so brainwashed to ignore criticism of The Lord's Annointed.

No U.S. president has supported the creation of an independent Kurdish state. Iran doesn't want it, Iraq doesn't want it, Syria doesn't want it, Turkey doesn't want it.

Europe doesn't support it either.

Trump is a lot of things but he's not single-handedly responsible for torpedoing Kurdish statehood.

The base price of the Lightning Pro was $40k and some people actually got it for that much. Then they increaee the price twice to around $55k and said no more Pros are available for 2022 and 2023, conveniently only leaving the higher trims with not many added features. You basically pay $80k for the same truck the Pro is.
