Do you really need a 35 page report to determine what's happening?

You are correct

He's definitely trying to live out his favorite sci fi.

He sure did try to fit in with that group for a very long time.

It's supposed to be. According to law an H1B employee should be treated with the same rights as someone who is a citizen or a permanent resident. You're supposed to document that no citizen would take the job. In practice it's difficult for H1B employees to change jobs because of the limited window to find a new employer so they can easily be manipulated and abused.

I also jever thought of gim as a genius. I also never bought the idea he was a force for good. He's always been a narcissist. He just used the "good work" he was doing as a shield. We now see his true self

"Progressive extremism"? Does anyone understand what progressivism is? What did she want done in Israel? Total elimination of the Palestinians?

I'm thinking it will be a repeat of his first time. He had majorities in both houses and couldn't get any major policies through because of infighting. With wich a slim majority I think we'll see the same thing.

I thought we'd at least get to Trump's inauguration before the major infighting started. The next 4 years will be brutal. I hold on to some optimism that we'll make it through but it's going to be hard.

That line of thinking would be valid if anyone was interested in policy. Trump is only interested in two things- 1) getting elected and 2) getting revenge. He used Musk to get elected and now they have different priorities. This happened in his first administration.

Same for me. I got DSL in the summer of 2000.

The bad thing is we all reap what they sow.
