He's still a shit head, he just probably thinks this will limit corporate money to Dems, plus most of the Republican party takes donations from shady or compromised sources like the NRA, so it doesn't hurt them as much to limit corporate contributions.

Because kings have to have serfs and slaves, and all the yokels think they're going to wind up the kings, they're wrong.

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

It's funny how whenever Trump goes on one of these tangents it's always reminiscing about some woefully outdated way of handling whatever he's complaining about, just like the old man he is struggling with understanding the modern world, too bad his voters are every bit as lost in modern life.

We need to unionize, or the existing Tech/Communications unions need to get better and expand to include us.

We also need to force tech departments to stop offshoring their workers, I love our Indian tech Bros as much as the next guy, but companies need to hire local first rather than ripping off Indian tech Bros on the cheap just because they can.

And lastly, let remote workers who can do their jobs perfectly fine working remote stay remote, there is absolutely no reason why someone who works in cloud or virtualization technologies should have to be onsite, same with developers, same with so many other positions, both tech and standard.

Donald Trump, second generation German immigrant, who has lived within sight of Lady Liberty most of his life, what an embarrassment, not only to Americans, but specifically New Yorkers, one of the most mixed melting pots of a city in the entire world. What a racist idiot, especially when you consider the fact that south and central Americans were here before white people, so if anybody is diluting America's blood line, it's white motherfuckers like myself and Donald Trump.

DeSantis is a Harvard law school grad and Navy lawyer, he absolutely has an idea what all of those governmental entities do, this is just him and the GOP trying to normalize the fascistic accumulation of power, step one of becoming a dictatorship.

Also this is the GOP's plan to do exactly that:

It's just a step by step to purge the government, then whatever else, of undesirables while making an effort to destroy our government one piece at a time. Fascistic Libertarian hellscape here we come! (Also this is nothing new from them, just more open fascism)

Half of their most current videos feature Tucker Carlson, a well known Russian and Right wing sock puppet, and white supremacist and neo-nazi supporter, and the other half seem to follow the latest right wing media trends as they occur.
