I bet it’s Lindsey and Mumbai Mike. They never met an American that they wanted to make unemployed in the tech sector. Or a foreigner they didn’t want to give amnesty to. They wouldn’t do anything to hurt their Indian jobs program.

List of traitors to the American worker that wouldn’t want big tech hurt:

Notice Heels-up Kamala Harris is the first co-sponsor. Filter by Republican to see the Republicans with the most to lost if the Cheap Indian Labor Express goes away.

Look and see who’s getting campaign donations from the big tech folks.

This is initial reporting. Details and context will come later. That said, I think it’s a waste of time to bring them in, as the CEO techs will just lie like they have every time before. Just change the refs and make them publishers without protections against liable.

From the comments on twitter I found this interesting:

The top-performing link posts by U.S. Facebook pages in the last 24 hours are from:

1. Fox News
2. Fox News
3. Dan Bongino
4. Donald J. Trump
5. 11Alive
6. NPR
7. David J. Harris Jr.
8. Dan Bongino
9. Dan Bongino
10. Dan Bongino

People on Facebook are mostly looking at conservative sources for news and election coverage. Maybe there is hope after all!

Some of them are definitely anti Trumpers, but others are definitely “free market”

Some realize that Parler and Rumble are gaining market share and that Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are censoring themselves out of 50% of their business/ad income.

And the censoring isn’t damaging Trump that much.

American patriots won’t put up with this censoring and will take their $$ somewhere else...

Conservatives don’t believe in Government restricting what private companies do, do we?

Wishful thinking...that they’ll be desinated as publishers. Should’ve happened YEARS ago, and nada.

The iron is hot and NOW IS the time to bring these lying sacks of cr@p in to testify.

This is why we need to get rid of RINOS. They aren’t Republicans. They’re Democrats posing as Republicans. I believe that a lot of them only ran as Republicans in order to get into office. They would be a lot more comfortable in the Democrat party.

With Lee and Romney as our Senators, I’m ashamed to say I’m from Utah!

Both are worthless A-holes!

Repubs are full on wussies, have been and always will be.

They don’t even have Trump’s back, no matter what, and that is the only thing I appreciate about the Left, they stand together no matter what......but with the Repubs, all you get is cowardice and waffling.

I disagree with all of your statement.

They operate as Dem Organizations, plain and simple.

If you never want to win another Election, keep on.

Cornyn just distanced himself from the President today.

Texas GOP Sen. Cornyn tries to distance himself from Trump, says he disagrees with president 'privately'

Well now that the dumbass outed himself, it's not private anymore.
