It's not just these two. Other oligarchs like David Sacks and Peter Thiel are also campaigning for more Indian H1Bs. This is the payment they want for supporting Trump with donations and supporting statements.

Biden did the same thing with his "parole." They're all legal now.

Not to mention that the Indian Trump hired as his AI adviser is on Youtube recommending Indians commit marriage fraud in order to stay in the US permanently.

Revealing details.

This is why I didn't vote for Trump. I don't trust him to do what he campaigned on. Remember in 2016 he was all in favor of reducing H1Bs. And now, just a few months ago, he stated he wanted to staple a green card on to every foreigner's diploma from any college, including 2 year colleges. Trump needs to make a statement now, today, about whether he agrees with Elon and Vivek wanting to flood the country with H1Bs. BTW, I see several claims that Musk is shutting down and shadowbanning X accounts that criticize him and disagree with him about H1Bs. We don't need Elon and Vivek running America's immigration policy.

Elon and Vivek going whole hog on unlimited H1B visas for Indians.

I prefer to watch playoff games from the 1970s on Youtube. Don't care for the NFL these days. Here's a good one:

Better Chinese than Indians, IMO.

Prayuth was better. Now, you're all seeing what real authoritarian rule looks like. Hun Sen model of government on its way to Thailand.

Musk and Vivek now catching hell on twitter/x for wanting to open the doors wide open to Indian H1bs. Waiting for comment from Trump. Who's running the show?

More inflation means a higher cola on my SSA. Fine with me.

China isn't anyone's friend. They steal/stole technology, dump their overcapacity at below price costs on their trade partners, engage in a mercantile concept of trade dominance, and have made clear they want their political system to dominate worldwide. Maybe you prefer to live in China. I don't. Welding people inside their apartments, without food, access to medicine, and no ability to seek help during Covid is Xi's dream for the future. Not mine.

I sort of like it.

Eight years to prepare for this sort of thing, and the US has done nothing about this and other rare earths. Politicians just a bunch of rogues looting the treasury and hoping things hold together before they shuffle off the stage. Don't care about what happens in 10 or 15 years.

Remain a member so as to do everything possible to create havoc within the organization. But cut all funding. Do the same to the UN.

Just lease out the half empty bases to China.

It's worse than the old Soviet Union. Look at all these ancient, incapacitated old people who have been in charge of the US government. She hasn't visited her office for the past six months, but she has still been issuing messages on Twitter/X. Feinstein, McConnel, Pelosi, Biden. All non-functioning people still directing the government.

Looks like these F16s work well enough. No need to buy new jets.

I think he's talking China, here.

I saw elsewhere on X that a Saudi girl living in Germany reported the man to the police in September 2023. He promised to kill random Germans. The problem is a Christmas market isn't random. It's a Christian centered event. Who knows what this guy is really all about? It doesn't even matter. It's clear he's a violent nutcase. So why import violence prone loonies into your country?

He's supposedly an anti-Islam activist. But his targets were Christians, not Muslims. It's not as if there is a shortage of Muslims in Germany or Europe. "Why" seems a perfectly good question to ask.

Why would someone critical of Islam conduct a terror attack on a market celebrating a Christian event? Why not attack a mosque or muslim gathering?

I think there's a great deal of truth to this. Trump likes the parties and international meetings. He also likes having adoring audiences. All of which is interesting considering what I just saw in the British press. It seems the UK is sending a new ambassador to the US who has publicly insulted Trump several times. I see the British speculating their man will be frozen out. I don't think so. Trump, for some reason, is an Anglophile and allows all sorts of slights and insults from the UK. I'll bet he let's this pass too. I remember when he spent his first term angling for a reception from the late queen. This is what the man likes, not the nitty gritty of hard political work.
