The only thing I've heard to dispute this is "management always lies" and "you don't know anything". Well neither of those are facts, they are opinions. Its pretty clear that United is charting a course that doesn't include buying an airline or parts of an airline
Also I have as much right to "come over here" (whatever that means) as you do. This board is to discuss JetBlue. Its not the "Jetblue pilots forum". Its about anything regarding Jetblue. I'm sure you have your own internal pilot's forum. I'm sure its full of the rumors that Jetblue is imminently going to be acquired by United. I've been hearing it since 2019.
Here's a whole thread from 2019 about the impending UA/JB merger and how the SLI would even be done.

Nobody over here gives a sh!t about United, nor do we think a merger is imminent.. The fact that your company is doing well seems to have gone to your head…though ironically, it has nothing to do with you. The only thing JetBlue pilots want is for our company to do well. If any one of us wanted to work for United, we would have applied when you were hiring anyone that could fog a mirror. Now we’re at the mercy of a failed merger and years of poor management. We’ve cast our lot. Not one of us knows what will happen tomorrow, let alone 2, 5 or 10 years down the road. Just give the self righteous know it sh!t a rest bro. You know a lot less that you think you do.
