Word is that she is so unpalatable to Republican Senators that she won't get cofirmed,
[size=0pt]An appointee that has stated her guiding principle will be President Trump’s guiding principle, and she would no longer support aspects of the PRO Act that would overturn state right-to-work laws. Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of bad actors in today’s politics that will do or say whatever is most politically expedient for their own personal gain. It is well known that the price of admission in this administration is 100% fealty to Trump. Seems like they're growing the swamp.[/size]

If he "bought" the presidency, what do you call what Zuck did for the last guy?

There must be some sort of sado-masochistic streak in the industry...
sometimes I forget how liberal this site is, not quite Reddit level, but it gets close lol

If anything, the general tone here is very conservative. Moderators routinely knock down posts that say ill of the orange clown, while allowing ample talk in his favor. They've been known to deliver warnings and suspensions for speaking ill of our wannabe dictator.

You couldn't be further from the truth, but then again no one takes you seriously around here anyway.

Sorry, I forgot. Zuck set up an office in the White House. Held a press conference in the oval office with his kid while the president sat quietly at the resolute desk. Was given cart blanche to go after government agencies actively investigating Zuck's own companies, all while quietly trying to pick up a $400 million contract for his own company. And we're not even 5-weeks into the new administration. Edit: Musk, not Zuck. My mistake.

You mean the $400 million the previous president awarded his company? Didn’t Zuck spend over $400 million to get Biden elected? Spare us your pathetic outrage.

State Department docs from the previous administration prove otherwise. $483,000 for electric vehicles was approved under Biden. The $400-million for Teslas happened under Musk. Then they started quickly backpedalling when called out. They’re ****ing on your leg and telling you its rain.

According to false social media claims, he did. I can probably find other social media posts stating he eats babies to slow down the aging process.

I forgot how entertaining [and sad] the age of “alternative facts” truly was. Certainly no shortage of consumers for it.
