It is gonna be Hilarious when they try to push JD Vance as "even more extreme" than Trump after the past decade.
It will be entertaining to see how they do that, after DIRECTLY comparing Trump's Madison Square Garden rally to a fucking Nazi Party rally just a little before the election this time.

They pretty much have to paint Vance as Satan himself to say he's more extreme than Trump.
 
Question for farmers whose employer hires pajeets through H1B. My office very recently hung up a bundle of paperwork about H1B next to the labor laws poster that's required in every place of employment. It has info like the base pay and roles for H1B hires (which was six-figures, by the way).

Has anyone else seen this? I'm wondering if I missed some piece of news that's requiring them to do this or if it's a nothingburger. Just wondering if anyone else has seen or heard anything about it.
I don't know details but I have read that Trump's team has proposed changes to H-1B so that the wages are markedly higher so they're less of a "cheap labor" pool for companies and thus less incentive to hire. I don't know if it's in effect yet or ever will be but I hope so.
 
On that note, we got another Dem who died while in office.

Edit: Ninja'd! Should have looked up on this page.
Between their leadership dying off and vet members no seeking reelection, 2026 is going looking more and more rough on the dem's. It's going to be pretty interesting to see what happens and if the right can maintain or grow their numbers (and if get off their lazy asses and decide to codify any of this into law)

The same way they do everything else...ignoring everything they have done before.

That seems like a Trump solution, really.

Appease the corporations by raising the number of H1-B visas available, but then change the conditions so that nobody wants to bring in any H1-Bs for anything but the kind of high-level expertise the system was intended for.

The art of the deal.
 
>Sec. Rubio slams Sen. Chris Van Hollen for his El Salvador trip: "We deported gang members -- including the one you had a margarita with -- And that guy is a human trafficker and that guy is a gang banger."
Late but I don't get it. Why is there no punishment for interrupting and breaking rules? Why can't you just lose your job if you refuse to do it properly? When will politicians actually get consequences for doing things?

The only way to really punish them is through elections. They're not going to vote to punish themselves and most are all buddies behind the scenes.

They're above the law as they pontificate no one is above the law.

It's all fake, like wrestling. They give each other the finger and the chair in the ring, and then go out to a cocaine rager together for a fun weekend

it's hard to use the law against the people who make the law

They'll do what they do every time, "Boy howdy, we know we said the last guy was Hitler, but we had no idea just how much more Hitlery a conservative could be. This guy's such a Hitler, he makes the last guy look like a fluffy kitten!"

They already did it with Desantis when it looked like there was a ghost of a chance he might run, and they will do it with whatever Republican runs in 2028, even if it's Mitt Romney again.
