    There was 30,000 at the Harris Houston rally. The ticket request was a 1.5 million.

    At this point, if I could, I would, but by the time I possibly could, he can't run again.

    What's so weird - Big Tech is in Trump's pocket now. Nearly every rich company is caving to Trump cause they know if Trump wins, they do not want to cross him or he will go after him. That's what autocracy looks like.

    If you think about what you wrote, it makes absolutely no sense. Biden has been going after Musk and Trump to no avail.

    Now that Lina Khan is likely gone from the fTC, the question remains on who will replace her. Khan was yet another DEI hire in which both Democrats and Republicans want to replace. Tech is fed up and have switch to Red due to Bidens shitty choice.

    The original Xeet came from a 5G Vax conspiracy theorist who blamed the government and big tech for deplatforming her. Zuck is so off hands now, that he'd be on board the Trump train if he knew his employees wouldn't revolt. Google, who's facing a possible breakup by the DOJ, will throw money at whoever looks the other way.

    The irony is that Trump and con media had mostly been and still are against Big Tech before Kahn stepped in as FTC commisioner. The old J.D Vance (4 mo ago) thought she was doing a good job. The media heat against Big Tech during covid was from Con leaning sources who were angry at FB and pre-Musk Twitter.

    Now it's a 180 where Thiel and Musk are funneling Silly Valley money to Trump Pacs so they can grease up the VC and M&A wheels. Lina Kahn might've "chilled" the mergers environment but tech has always been rate sensitive and we've been at the highest rates in over a decade. She hasn't even blocked 1% of all the mergers, and w/ tech, the FTC has been focused on the Mag 7 players Cons generally hate and distrust.

    Lina Kahn hasn't even won many cases against Big Tech, so it's telling that investors who made it big from these half trillion-trillions dollar companies are raising their pitchforks against her and Dems on the "anti monopoly threat" alone. The arrangement before was that administrations from neither party enforced against Monopoly powers from big tech that abused it in order to deepen their existing moats.

    Now that seal has been broken, these leaders and investors are becoming more mercenary or open with their personal political preferences.

    One of the most fascinating things in this election is how Muslims have been largely against Kamala due to the war, despite Trump being by far the pro-Israel candidate.

    Because it is very likely that my children will be Americans and will spend their lives here.

    Also, because I love the United States. With all flaws that any country has, there is still more emphasis on freedom and less emphasis on envy than in the rest of the world.

    It's a country of opportunity.

    Imagine if he vetted every illegal immigrant with as much scorn.

    Yes, it's interesting. I suspect it is different for different factions of Muslims. When I was in Saudi, the people I spoke to told me without hesitation that they favour the Republican party because "they are socially conservative, like we are". The factions of Muslims the Democrats seem to mostly invite and empower, like Kamala appointing spies for the Iranian Mullah regime, are mostly concerned with destroying Israel and eventually the USA.

    I don't think Muslims have been "largely against Kamala due to the war", they are much more socially conservative than the woke leftists are. The woke leftists stupidly think their LGBQTIA+, transgenderism, etc. stuff appeals to the Muslims, but the opposite is the case.

    The main problem is that you seem ill-informed because you get so much of your info from crap social media.
