Not any director. Her job is Director of Government Affairs. It's a clear conflict of interest for her to be launching her own political campaign while employed as a corporate lobbyist. Her frivolous lawsuit will get tossed.

These vpn believers don't understand how concentrating all of the traffic thru a single chokepoint (the vpn provider network), they're infinitely easier to network monitor.

Why do you want to exist in an echo chamber? Suppressing ideas doesn't make them go away.

We've heard ad nauseam that the rich need to pay their fair share.

This goes for importers as well. Pay your taxes.

The real substance of these complainers is that they can no longer dodge import fees thru de minimis exemptions. Tough luck. Pay your fair share.

Your reply to me is all emotion, no facts.

As for "economic damage", this is where you really diverge from reality.

The S&P 500 has risen back to pre-Liberation Day tariff announcement levels.

Gasoline prices are down.

Egg prices are down.

April jobs report is out, beating projections by 44,000 jobs.

The media's economic fear-mongering never materialized.

So yes, the US economy effects me -- all in a good way right now. President Trump's agenda is working. The people wishing otherwise will be the ones who need to cope.

None of those things have happened.

Trump was elected on deporting illegals, closing the Dept of Education, removing men from women's sports and to stop sending money overseas. The insular HN community doesn't understand this is what the majority of American voters want. Many of us are very happy with the direction things have been moving.

Perhaps take some vacation days to get that "partner" of yours citizenship?

It's funny you say science requires a lot of honesty and trust, then point at what happened in the past 5 years.

Very few people believe "safe and effective" was telling the truth when it neither stopped someone from getting sick or from passing the virus on to other people. Now the lack of trust is spilling over into other v's that have been effective in eradicating past ailments like polio and measles. The "scientists" have no one to blame but themselves.

As a US citizen, revoking visas from criminals and people who espouse hate has been a huge net positive. We don't need visitors bringing their third world blood feuds to our homeland.

The primary technology we are lacking an implementation for is voter ID. After we ensure only eligible voters can cast a single vote, the next valuable technology is education.

Across the board budget cuts say nothing about supporting the scientific method. These university could easily fund their projects out of their massive multi-billion dollar endowments. We should ask why they aren't.

Not that old talking point. American left and right are judged on an American left/right scale.
