GameStop has offered to buy eBay for $55.5 billion, a move that would give the video game retailer control over a decades-old online marketplace where people can buy and sell collectibles, apparel, and other goods.

Under the takeover proposal, GameStop said on Sunday it is offering $125 per share for eBay in cash and stock. The video game company, based in Grapevine, Texas, already has a 5% stake in eBay.

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen said in a letter to eBay's chairman of the board that it has received a commitment from TD Securities to contribute $20 billion to help fund the deal.

eBay said on Monday that it will "carefully review and consider the unsolicited proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interests of the company and all eBay shareholders."

The Wall Street Journal, which first reported GameStop's offer for eBay, said Cohen is prepared to launch a hostile bid if eBay rejects the deal. EBay could be a "legit competitor to Amazon," Cohen said in his comments to the Journal.

"EBay should be worth — and will be worth — a lot more money," he told the paper. "I'm thinking about turning eBay into something worth hundreds of billions of dollars."

GameStop has a market capitalization of nearly $12 billion and is far smaller than eBay, which is valued at around $49 billion.

GameStop shares fell in early trading on Monday, dropping 2% to $26. EBay's stock rose 5% to $109.72.

Why do US state politicians need to conduct business outside the US in the first place?

Probably safe to say, the other half helped them in some way and should be sent home as well.

My question is, why is the Department of Motor Vehicles engaged in registering voters in the first place. That's the Board of Elections responsibility, not theirs.

This isn't just a problem with registering illegal aliens.

My daughter went to DMV at 16 1/2 with a driving instructor to obtain her driving permit. A couple weeks later she received her voter registration card and sample ballet for the next general election in the mail. We asked her why and how she registered to vote. She remembered that while at DMV they asked her if she wanted to register to vote and she simply answered, yes. I should add that she was registered with democrat affiliation, despite not knowing what it even meant.

She could have easily cast a vote since no one checks for ID anyway. We had to explain to her that just because she had a voter registration card, that she still couldn't vote until she turned 18.

DMV has no business being engaged with elections/voter registration just like the BOE has no business registering cars and drivers.

Just further proof that our elections need to be protected. We need to demand ID checks for all persons casting a vote. I show my ID all the time for much less important things.

Not a single question was answered. Not one. Each question was answered with nonsense.
