I'm not sure they are done losing yet.

Someone mentioned detention camps, but I thought they were referring to something else. From this I understand that Syria will release them. This is hard to understand for me. If someone is incarcerated, you don't release them just because they want to go. I know I'm drifting here, and this...

That would be cryptocurrency for me. No thank you.

At the risk of sounding insensitive, I can't wrap my head around Martin Short and Meryl Streep. But I am sorry for Martin.
