@realDonaldTrump You couldn’t lift anyone like that your obese with orange make up. And you dance like Elaine on Seinfeld. That noddle is clearly cooked.

It’s November 2028 Andrew Yang is our 48th president with over 70% of the vote on the promise of UBI. He flips every swing state. Big tech stocks crash as they are on the line for the UBI tax. Some push AGI but most find happiness walking away from a meaningless existence.

Bernie Sanders discusses how H-1B visas go to jobs like "teachers" and are widely exploited by India-focused IT outsourcing firms. Scorns Bill Gates lobbying for unlimited H-1Bs for Big Tech. This was over 17 years ago but could have been aired last week.

H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD 🧵

I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data.

I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I'm now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works.

Here's what I found 👇

[bounca @bounca]

Kamala raised 1B. The withholding of the war chest /future donations from mega donors was used to push Biden out. It’s too bad all that “get money out of politics” was just talk and no action a common feature of the democratic party.

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

NEW: MSNBC’S Claire McCaskill pathetically attempts to insult @elonmusk: "He thinks because he can do rockets and electric cars, that he can figure out how to get people to vote."

IVapid legacy media talking heads can’t go 5 minutes without attacking Elon; and they’re all suddenly hyper-concerned about the “scary” amount of money in politics:

"I think it's really scary territory. You know, we have some billionaires in this country. And if you look at the top ten donors to Donald Trump, they've given over $1 billion to just the top five. Yeah. I mean, and that was not counting how much more Musk has spent. Musk is in Pennsylvania. He thinks because he can do rockets and electric cars, that he can figure out how to get people to vote."

Democrats are massively outspending Republicans, thanks to many high-profile billionaire donors that NEVER receive an ounce of scrutiny — some of whom are also actively involved as campaign surrogates.

This is pathetic, even for the propaganda press.

Once again the so called defenders of democracy are out stripping the people of choice which is the cornerstone of democracy. Same playbook different cycle…

[Duopoly Destroyer @realnikohouse]

Ohio disqualifies Jill Stein from the ballot with a rule that should disqualify Harris & Walz too. But to cover their asses, they lied by claiming it was Stein’s choice to withdraw herself from the ballot.

This is what we mean when we say the U.S. is not a real Democracy.

[WikiLeaks @wikileaks]

Some questions for @realDonaldTrump:

1. How will you handle the so-called deep state “wolves in MAGA hats” circling your transition team, posing as MAGA to obtain powerful positions in a prospective Trump administration? After all, personnel is policy.

To @TheDemocrats ,

This is my career suicide note, but it’s also a thank you from someone who is done with careerism. I’m a lifelong member of your party and I’m voting for Donald Trump. Why? It’s not just your industrial-scale censorship or your endless wars or the fact that you disenfranchised millions of Kennedy voters through lawfare. If that were all I had, it would be sufficient, in terms of conscience and rage, but there’s more to this story than anger. Your hatred and censorship has taught me to admire @realDonaldTrump and to love my fellow working-class Americans, and for that I thank you.

This vote is for all the traumatized people who have been canceled and banished just for saying no to the establishment. This vote is for the surveyor, the farmer, the HVAC man, the nurse, the hairstylist, the Deadhead, the veteran, and my fellow adjunct professors who have told me their stories about being bullied by the Democrats in their friends and family and their colleagues at work. This is for the young Black woman in my class last year who, on the day of Kamala Harris’s visit to campus, said, “You’re going to hate me, Dr. Armstrong, but I’m not going. I’m voting for Donald Trump.” Why would she think I would hate her for the way she votes? What has happened to our country?

Somehow, Donald Trump has changed my mind. Where I once saw a cartoon white supremacist, warmonger, and narcissist, I now see the man who renegotiated NAFTA and the only president in the twenty-first century not to start a new war. Where I once saw the pal of the neocons, I now see a man who has awoken from his slumber and disavowed Dick Cheney, George Bush, and John Bolton, even as my own party embraces these “men.”

Why has the greatest entrepreneur of my generation (@elonmusk) risked his career to side with Trump? Why has the most consequential grassroots environmentalist of my time (@RobertKennedyJr ) sacrificed friends, family, and reputation to side with “The Orange Menace?” Why has the most courageous peace activist of the twenty-first century (@TulsiGabbard) left our party? Because Tulsi, Bobby, and Elon see what I see. Donald Trump is resilient and he’s risking his life to change the fate of our nation. Trump is transforming the Republican Party into the party of peace, free speech, and the working-class. He has converted George Bush’s billionaire boys club of Big War, Big Ag, and Big Pharma into a party that cares about public health and embraces regenerative agriculture.

Now I don’t think the GOP is all the way there yet, but they’re clearly the party that embraces dissent, and dissent—brave speech—is the fuel for evolution. So, for the first time in my life, I’m voting Republican. In the name of peace in Ukraine and free speech here at home, I’m casting my vote, as a Kennedy Democrat, for Donald Trump.

Very eloquent way of describing this moment in American politics. Insane that it has come to this but the democrats and their most ardent supporters only have themselves to blame, pinning this on trump is just easier and intellectually lazy… 🤷‍♂️

Just last week:

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

That Harris feels incapable of surviving a basic solo interview after nearly four years at the pinnacle of power in the White House―even with a channel that deeply favors her party―is a problem. A Vice President shouldn't need "Training Wheels" Walz ready to jump on her grenade.

[Martyr Made @martyrmade]

One of Trump’s best qualities is one he’s most hated for by the Regime, namely, that he takes pride in being able to have a civil working relationship with other world leaders, even if they are not our friends. He brags about getting along with Xi, Kim, Putin and others, and understands, like most statesmen before the end of the Cold War, that you have to be able to talk to these people and have them trust your words, even if you don’t like them. It’s rare in America these days, and should be a bigger deal at a time when most Western leaders look at the world and see only Churchills, Hitlers, and Hitler-appeasers.
