Given I can't find anything in relation to this after some pretty thorough searches, would you mind actually sourcing this?

"Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska both said Wednesday they would not vote to support President Donald Trump's choice for education secretary, Betsy DeVos, the first two sitting Republican senators to publicly say they wouldn't back one of Trump's Cabinet nominees. Without Murkowski or Collins, DeVos would need the vote of Vice President Mike Pence to win approval if all Democrats voted against her."

So there are rumors swirling around that there is another executive order coming that could threaten some major immigration programs, namely the H-1B and L-1. There's a draft of the order that was leaked and is being passed about but right now no one is really sure what it will mean. I'm going to try my best to get out my immigration overview soon but if the order drops tomorrow or Friday, I'll try my best to post something within 24 hours.

At the very least, Trump is following through with his promise to drain the swamp.

Reminds me of how the Baharuth Imperial Knights felt in Overlord Volume 9, for those who get the reference.

Hah, I work at one of the largest consulting firms in the world, and the system is routinely abused at the expense of US citizens. The doubling of the minimum salary is fantastic, and "the entire tech industry moving to India" is a globalist pipe dream.

Nah, Malcolm Turnbull is such a sniffling brown noser that Trump could literally punch him and everything would still be fine.

My guess is he doesn't know the Liberals are actually the right-wing party in Australia.

... And that Turnbull endorsed his policies.

Also he apparently just Benghazi'd.

A White House official said the operation was thoroughly vetted by the previous administration and that the previous defense secretary had signed off on it in January. The raid was delayed for operational reasons, the White House official said.
Benghazi is a different issue. The question there is "Did the US have foreknowledge of the attack such that it could have been prevented?" Many people think so.

I wish I could wake up in the morning now without going "Time to see what fucking mango Mussolini messed up this time"

Today it's "Oh look he wants to fucking destroy the Johnson amendment which prevents religious institutions from endorsing and donating to political candidates, fuck everything."

So, just a cursory read of this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_Amendment

501c3's CONSTANTLY run afoul of this, and the line is very tough to navigate. I would much rather we not have tax-exempt churches (or even groups, to be honest), but fuck it, why even pretend the government does any work preventing these orgs from promoting candidates.

Sure, let's just openly let religious organizations donate to politicians now (aka, Republicans), and go out and tell their congregations/followers who they should be voting for.

If they want to do that, they better lose their damn tax exemption statuses.

I'm sure it's going to be very interesting when mosques and temples start campaigning.

Black churches have been doing this for decades.

Okay, Mormon churches have been doing it for decades, too. There you go.
