Henhen. You don't mean it. I thought the Washington Post and others are fake news. So why are you believing them now?
They are fake news. When you see them post such against Biden, know that they are now throwing him under the bus. They must have a reason to do so, Bad decisions made by Joe should not taint his puppeteer.

One of the villains I been mentioning about lawfare against Trump is gone.
Matthew Graves the US Attorney DC has resigned. He has prosecuted thousands of J6. He prosecuted Bannon, Peter Navarro and Roger Stone on charges he knew were designed to silence them.
He never thought Trump would win.
Another stupid zealous liberal hack.
He refused to bail first offenders, twisted the law to get them the most harsh sentences, withheld evidence, had them incarcerated and beaten up in prison, had others in solitary for months, basically he was on a mission to silence Trump's followers.
Basically he was the modern day Torquemada. Attorneys in his office are lawyering up and looking for jobs outside of the government. Full panic mode there.
It's not a good idea to put him among people he prosecuted .Gitmo would be best for him. Military barracks would also be safe for him.

Joe Biden and his attorney general Garland need to be locked up.
Garland was selected to go after Trump.

President Joe Biden regrets tapping Merrick Garland to be attorney general as he privately complains the Department of Justice didn’t do enough t0 prosecute President-elect Donald Trump, people familiar with his comments told The Washington Post........

Elon Musk oped in Germany caused an editor to resign Earlier he had said afD was Germany last hope.
The reeling was massive.
Welt editor-in-chief Jan Philipp Burgard is careful to remind readers (multiple times) that:

"The AfD is in parts xenophobic and anti-Semitic. That is why it is a danger to Germany."


Musk countered that assertion

“The portrayal of the AfD as rightwing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!


He continues
..AfD has understood that economic freedom is not just desirable, but necessary. Its approach of reducing government over-regulation, cutting taxes and deregulating the market reflects the principles that made Tesla and SpaceX successful,”
.....committed to a controlled immigration policy that gives priority to integration and the preservation of German culture and security. This is not about xenophobia, but about ensuring that Germany does not lose


Germany parliament was dissolved and elections are due in Feb.

Given how the EU demonizes fr right Musk is throwing a spanner in the works.
The globalist under WEF and EU are losing ground.

I've checked the sane Twitter thread, here are the numbers on the southern border CBP contacts with illegals crossing the Southern border

Under Biden , this is nothing but a well planned invasion.
Data is almost a year old.

The H-1B fires are ebbing off. Democrats were ecstatic that the issue would tear the republicans apart. Both groups pro and anti have had a discussion ( I suspect Musk was sloshed up) in a way that unites the republicans. Republicans will have to take a common stand on
H-1B visas going forward.
Major issue ironed out .
***Let me add that much as Trump said he uses H-1B visa holders,it's been pointed out elsewhere that he most likely meant H-2B visas , the temporary permits for mostly hospitality and farming industries. Data doesn't show Trump Org seeking H-1B permits ****

Another of Biden lies. There was an absolute wall between him and his sons business.
The National Archivist released photos of Joe Biden meeting with Xi and Hunter Biden Chinese partners.
Why it matters.
Xi was days into his Silk Road initiative.Joe denied he ever met Chinese who were sending millions to Hunter 20 plus shell companies for no work done.

https://nypost.com/2024/12/27/us-news/feds-finally-release-photos-showing-then-vp-biden-meeting-son-hunters-china-biz-partners-days-before-he-leaves-office/?utm_campaign=nypost&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

NARA had planned to release these photographs on October 23, 2024 — thirteen days before Election Day. Lawyers and representatives for President Biden and President Obama delayed NARA’s release of these photos — as they did with other critical records — until after Election Day.”

After a FOIA filed in September 2022 the Archivist deliberately delayed to release them.. The FBI and CIA also had them for years so JBiden denials were known to them.
The same archivist who started looking to pin a crime on Trump for taking away documents after 2021.
JB withdrew Trump security clearances to make him.inelligible to hold on to copies of classified documents.

What goes around comes around. This archivist interfered in 2024 elections.
Trump bought off Stormy T Daniels (aka STD) silence, NYC secured all his business records and discovered that the reimbursement to Michael Cohen was entered as Legal Expenses not as " paying off STD".

Democrat crimes can go round the earth twice.

NARA was hiding 99.98% of pages of Joe Biden’s pseudonym emails from Congress. Congress will investigate their actions and drag these bureaucrats for questioning.

Popcorn futures look bright.
**If I backtrack here, some of you were saying there is no evidence that Joe benefited from China. You bought into his lies despite evidence his whole family getting money wired from China. **

The woke late night hosts abject failure. 98% of the jokes against Trump. Their efforts came to nought.

Embarrassment for woke late night hosts as new study shows how their anti-Trump pleas fell on deaf ears

Late-night hosts relentlessly made Donald Trump the focus of nearly all of their jokes before the presidential election, but failed to sway the voting, as revealed by a new study.

A shocking 98 percent of the jokes made by Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and Saturday Night Live in the lead up to Election Day made Trump the butt of the joke, according to media watchdog group Media Research Center.

As many as 1,428 of the 1,463 political jokes on these shows – from September 3 through October 25 – were targeted at Trump, the study found.

‘That’s a whopping 40:1 ratio or almost 98 percent to 2 percent,’ said MRC analyst Alex Christy, as reported by Fox News.

Even when the late-night hosts mocked then-nominee Joe Biden, they often softened the jokes with comments about Trump.

In June, Seth Meyers touched on Biden’s age and cognitive decline but then made sure to note Trump’s criminal convictions.


Leftist bubble came crashing down

Almost like they knew all along but were gaslighting themselves into believing otherwise. Just because they stood to benefit from his funds buying the election for them. Now they want to be honest.

What happened to “the left is jealous of billionaires”? They knew our money was fattening the bank accounts of these billionaires but wanted to make us sound crazy for pointing it out? Who knew? 😒😒😒🙄
Elon Musk bought the election.... You may be denial because you know very well that Kamala out raised Trump and outspent him by very huge margins.

.........
Harris outraised her Republican opponent, with groups including the Democratic National Committee and affiliated fundraising vehicles — among them Super Pacs, which can raise unlimited amounts from individuals — attracting more than $2.3bn and spending $1.9bn.

Trump groups and the Republican National Committee took in just over $1.8bn and spent $1.6bn.


Democrats have out raised Trump in the last 3 elections and he still beat them.
In 2020 Zuckerbucks spent $400 million paying for drop boxes, paying off election workers. He literally lived
in the WH pre 2016. Ditto Schmidt of Google Inc, which helped democrats in 2016 literally techwise, and both platforms have been helping the democrats since then in every election.
This year X refused to toe the line and the election against a pathetic candidate was too big to rig. Elon spent $250 million going from reports, so 250m out of 1.6 billion bought the election.
Listen to yourself please.

It is damning.
Everyone knows the talent-centric visa classes have been abused for years.
Mass deportation of illegals was the in.
The first step for a holistic overhaul of the immigration system that'll ultimately slash illegal immigration and increase legal immigration.
The egotistical loudmouths threw a wrench in that. It can still be saved. But this was a needless own goal.

America immigration on paper is good for everyone, but as you noticed it opens and leaves a lot of loopholes.
There are republicans and Democrats who want it that way, it's good for business and power
Guaranteeing a commensurate pay ensures only specific skillsets not available at home are let in.

For those who are interested in H1B data , a Twitter user has analyzed 5 years of data .
His findings are surprise surprise. Most of the applications are in the tech sector, but there are still hundreds of thousands of other sectors like finance, the big four accounting firms have thousands of them.

It is sad. You are really and truly ignorant and know nothing. Every time you reply to one of my posts it is clear it has gone over your head.

I am not referring to epstein

I am referring to Einstein visa.

Melania trump a model came into the US on an Einstein visa - a visa reserved for people of high academic and technical ability. Maybe that is what you consider legal because she is white.

Just as musk came in on a student visa and then dropped out of college to start a business

I am sure you know what the rules are on immigrants working while on student visas.

But the rules are different in this case. I wonder why?

The maga movement you have sold your soul to is pissing all over the so called 'model minority' . What do you think they would have to say about you?
Apologies. It's due to my low trust in Democrat supporters, I always assume it's a lie first . I misread Epstein. He used to bring in "models'" from Eastern Europe then traffic them.
At least she didn't hop over the border or got herself pregnant before getting citizenship.

As for Elon, I don't know much about the rules,the democrats would have gone after him if he brought me the law You are in a better position to explain why they didn't. Trump also never went after him when he could have.
