It's naive to not know that Trump helped Netanyahu to play God by killing the deal last year just like he openly killed the immigration deal for electoral advantages.
it is silly to succumb to alternate realties just because of losing the election.

Be that as it may, time to buckle up and become billionaires by buying the Presidential predatory meme coin :)

I don't know if I really buy it. That's certainly plausible but you know Biden could've also just pulled the plug on those large Israel arms funding bills if he really believed peace was on the horizon but a certain presidential candidate is playing sabotage and letting Bibi Netanyahu run amok. Instead he doubled down on funding genocide and got played on all sides.

Biden pre-emptively pardoned Liz Cheney, Mark Milley and Anthony Fauci. Can we really be considered a liberal democracy if military generals had to be issued pardons to prevent political persecution by Kakistocrats?

Not sure about investors, though it added few billions in Trump’s NW :)

Why are pardons sacrosanct? Who decided to honor them? What prevents Trump from sending in the Feds or Army, etc and rounding up Fauci, etc? Is it the supreme court? Thats his pick. What else?

Yeah, nothing is off the table. Clown show is back roaring with a series of Executive Orders. Most peculiar of them is his orders to stop Federal agencies recognizing birth right citizenship. Even babies born to parents on legal visas don't get US citizenship starting next month (assuming this EO holds in court). So desi parents on H1 visas take note.

Normally, I would say no way this would be held up by courts but with this SCOTUS I'm not so sure.

Trump has now withdrawn US from WHO. I am not disappointed. WHO has outrun it's utility and now it has become an organisation filled with inefficiencies. It's handling of wuhan virus was despicable at best. Corrupt as hell.

US also needs to withdraw from nato, UN and all such meaningless organisation. They hold no value and simply waste of money. Especially the money US doesn't have.

Ramaswamy is out before it even started. I think his big mouth got best of him in h1b debate. He should have kept quiet and worked in the background. His ohio gov election thing is probably just a cover up. In any case I never understood how he could possibly agree to work with musk. Musk will overshadow and overpower everyone in Doge.

Executive orders are already such that it will make very very difficult for h1bs to survive and Musk has done nothing to stop them. It looks like Maga is winning in real life while musk may have won on twitter. Birthright citizenship is just a distraction while they pass all these other orders with real impact.

It's certainly is not a good time to be brown in America. White supremacist will be emboldened and will take upon themselves to harass brown folks. Without any fear of repercussions.

Birthright citizenship law will impact H1B/waiting for GC crowd which is 75% Indian. More than a million will be affected. Desi kids will grow up in America but will be asked to leave when they reach 18 to a country with which they have little connection. This may impact new MS/H1B from India.

Yeah being a non-white is going to be difficult in the country - it is going back to pre-1965 environment.

Dont have kids so I dont care. The only thing I am concerned about is large scale asset seizures of non whites in the US.
