I agree. Then we could at least have two separate economies; one for domestic use and one for outsourcing. As to all this talk about freedom of speech (btw, I don't believe in freedom): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusionary_rule Who cares about so-called freedom of speech? It's not a real right. It's arbitrary

To stay on-topic I'm sure President Trump will be history by the 20th. I don't even care about the politics in this country as I'm more of an anarchist although I did vote. I don't understand the hype behind presidents. They don't really wield much power but I guess if one is addicted to the media they'll see power where it isn't. I'm not too sure

Trump may pardon Lil Wayne, release men jailed by Biden laws (nypost.com)

If 10 years ago someone claiming to be a time traveler told you Trump would become president and pardon Lil Wayne on his last day in office what would you say?

I woulda believed that before believing that the same president could incite an insurrection after undermining the democratic voting process and attempting to stage the same coup he had been saying for 4 years he would stage if he lost, and then still have the support of most of the Republican congress and voting population despite 64 losses in courts (bipartisan judges too) when trying to challenge the results, and broad bipartisan denial of election fraud by election officials on all levels.

To Trump's credit, at least he decided not to take the advice of the MyPillow guy and institute martial law.

This shit all sounds like some really weird dream where disparate figures and events from pop culture of the past 15 years all came together in a strange soup of mental word salad.
 
Drain that swamp!

Trump revokes ethics order barring former aides from lobbying​

Shortly after pardoning members of Congress and lobbyists convicted on corruption charges, President Trump revoked an executive order barring former officials from lobbying for five years after leaving his administration.

Why it matters: The order, which was signed eight days after he took office, was an attempt to fulfill his campaign promise to "drain the swamp."
  • But with less than 12 hours left in office, Trump has now removed those limitations on his own aides.
