@Tom43685794 @RepThomasMassie @TRHLofficial @marklevinshow @grok can you give a list of the bills and amendments Congressman Massie has submitted/endorsed?

@Wid_Lyman @BorderHawkNews I don't understand why these people aren't arrested. disturbing the peace if nothing else.

@gothburz That is fucking evil. I hate everything about what you do. Traitor.

@waide_c @FBIDirectorKash @ericgarland I thought election denying was bad?

[vengent @vengent]

@beefinitiative I suspect the US beef herd being smaller is a feature not a bug of these type of changes. Run it so low it can't survive, then stop imports. The people against meat eating will do anything for their "moral imperative".

@TheEricPHays @LayoffAI Because Kamala ie Biden2.0 totally would have stopped immigration? lol

H-1B approvals by president.

6.1 million petitions filed since 2009. 93.8% approved. 990 per day.

Obama: 94.5%
Trump I: 88.4%
Biden: 97.6%
Trump II: 97.6%

Yes, this includes renewals. Yes, that matters because they are still here.

Left. Right. Irrelevant... 94% APPROVED.

[vengent @vengent]

@vr_ghosty @Tectone yes, something that happens less than 5% of the time vs the 95%. Clearly it exactly the same.

🚨 THEY WANT YOU ALLERGIC TO MEAT

A peer-reviewed paper argued it's ethically permissible to let ticks infect Americans with a red meat allergy—to fight climate change.

This isn’t a joke. It’s bioethics via bioweapon.

Congress Trades While Americans Work

The problem with congressional stock trading is not that every trade is automatically illegal. That is the distraction.

The real problem is the system itself.

Members of Congress sit on committees, attend briefings, meet with lobbyists, vote on spending, and shape regulation that can move entire sectors. Then they are still allowed to buy and sell individual stocks while holding access the average American will never have.

That is not a free market. That is a conflict built directly into the job.

The STOCK Act was supposed to restore trust, but it mostly created a disclosure process. File the form. Report the transaction. Let the public find out later. That may create a paper trail, but it does not remove the conflict.

In engineering terms, this is a bad control system. You do not solve a conflict of interest by adding a delayed indicator light. You remove the failure mode.

Congress should not be trading individual stocks while in office. Neither should spouses or dependent children. Put the assets in a blind trust, broad index funds, or Treasury securities. That is clean, simple, and easy to understand.

THIS WHOLE SYSTEM THAT ENRICHES THEM PUTS THEM AT DIRECT ODDS WITH WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR VOTERS

Public office should not come with a private market advantage.

Ban congressional stock trading.

I’m a little confused here.

Medical graduates spend years in med school, take on massive debt, and go through the Match process competing for a limited number of residency spots.

So why does @IndianaUniv have “Notice of Intent to Hire H-1B / E-3 Employee” listings for Medical Residents across IU hospitals?

Residency training is already a bottleneck. So what’s the rationale behind sponsoring visas for these positions instead of prioritizing U.S. graduates who are also competing for them?

@TwitchSupport What stops someone from view botting an opponent without their permission to get them in trouble? You can't accurately apply intent to these bots.

@Tea4gunsSC2 I already am perfectly capable of building and managing servers, switches, firewalls and more. You sound unhinged. Moving on. Have a good one.

[vengent @vengent]

@Tea4gunsSC2 Choosing family over strangers is natural, choosing neighbors over strangers is natural. It's not bigotry.

[vengent @vengent]

@Tea4gunsSC2 I'd say if its the land of the green people, then green people first. Doesn't make one a bigot to believe in prioritizing your own people over others.

[vengent @vengent]

@catturd2 Ouch, some of just don't post that much or attempt to accrue followers =(

[vengent @vengent]

@jmfamp @bennyjohnson So where are his plans to fix it? to lift up americans instead of just ignoring them and importing his indians?

[vengent @vengent]

@Stevendadboss @bennyjohnson I take it you didn't read what he posted about america in the past then during his full throated celebration of H1B visa?
