Trump praised programs that allow foreign workers to travel to the US for jobs many on the far-right have argued are being stolen from American citizens.

Looks like President Musk is still in charge.

    Are we not slamming anymore? We’re now stabbing?

    For a brief irrational second, this headline gave me actual hope.

        Legitimately, I’d argue that it makes more sense than “slammed” since it likely alludes to backstabbing. I don’t think I was ready for that sharp of imagery this morning, but I won’t argue with the wording.

        Anyway, what’s with your obsession with US politics, you damn foreigner?? (Congratulations again)

          Hey, I’m still a U.S. citizen too! Actually, I didn’t qualify for a “communications officer” job at the Royal Mint because I have dual nationalities.

          Because, you know, they might tell me something secret that they want the public to hear, what with it being a communications officer position.

          And thanks again.

            I get their concern. It may not be the “what” so much as the “when” of the information.

            edit: I’m still crossing my fingers for you finding a UK job, though. I’m sure you’re looking at the same places I am for you. I see there was a position for video editor open on the Isle of Mann just 4 months ago, so I have high hope for your prospects!

              I have sent out you have no idea how many CVs. Literally hundreds for every open job, plus cold to anyone I can think of. But unfortunately I have been looking at a bad time because almost everyone’s going to be gone through the new year. I’m betting I will get a bunch of interviews in the first couple of weeks of January. I still plan to be over there by the end of the month if at all possible, but I can’t until I get work. My family can’t even get a family visa if I live there earn less than £22,000 a year, so I have to have a job before I go.

              Thanks for the help!

    Vice President Trump has to get on board with President Musk’s policy platform in public even if they disagree in private.

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Trump trying to tighten H1-B visas in his first term to make it harder to import foreign workers?

    And lo, America realized the foreign Nazi techbro had control of the whole country once he had the leader chosen by the neophytes and bigots cucking for him.

    First, Acting President-Elect Musk kicking the Maga-Brains in the balls with his H-1B dreams, now Good Little Boy Trump biting at Bannon. I love them coming apart like that. Let the fight begin!

      It’s going to come down to moneyed interests, I think. How they keep the racist interests happy is the real question.

      They are going to need some major distraction for the people that will not benefit by and/or be actively harmed by H-1Bs taking American jobs…I just wonder what it will be. It was a pretty big mistake for Musk/Bannon to give away the job-stealing game so publicly. It’s like they are rubbing magabrainz noses right in it by this public slapfight. The magabrainz are not really known for their long-term memory, but this is really close to home for a lot of jobs and it was in the headlines for days…I bet more than a few remember and so MurdochCo is going to need one helluva distraction to keep their minds off of this, most especially if they do lose their jobs and/or have a hard time getting a new job with similar compensation due to the H-1B scam.

      The ultra-rich in his base, whether they are racist or not, are most likely delighted by the prospect of destroying American jobs.

    And Bannon is why Trump is where he is.

    May the MAGA civil war completely halt their ability to get anything done.

      There is one thing I’d like to see them accomplish in the MAGA civil war, and that is the absolute and utter destruction of the MAGA klans.
