Amazon owner just made $2 billion in an hour. Unfortunately, the geek elite hate America and its workers. Trump ought to anti-trust all the current geek elites, Gates, Zuckerburg etc. There are plenty of new techies capable of making bdtter products.

As much as I am against abortion Pence’s statement and timing makes one scratch their heads. Maybe God will bless them for their stand but if precedent is anything, no time to fall on one’s sword before the battle has begun. Pence gonna end up being a poison pill?

What rymes with wussies?
