Considering the billions in untaxed profits the tech companies are making, this seems like good policy to me.

Mostly non-violent protests.... Majority Of Democrats Refuse To Support Resolution Rejecting Political Violence by Tyler Durden Friday, Sep 19, 2025 - 12:50 PM In a vote that exposed the dark side of the majority of Democrats, the House on Friday passed a resolution honoring slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk and rejecting the political violence of recent years. The passage, however, was not without substantial opposition. The vote was 310-58, with 95 Democrats joining all 215 Republicans in voting yes on the nonbinding resolution. The 58 no votes all came from Democrats, but another 38 Democrats voted present (would not take an open side) and another 22 Democrats did not vote. In other words, 118 Democrats in Congress refused to support the resolution. [url=][/url] The resolution passed nine days after a gunman assassinated the 31-year-old Kirk while he was speaking to a large crowd at Utah Valley University. Kirk was a co-founder of Turning Point USA, which helped turn out the youth vote for Donald Trump in 2024. The alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, is a confirmed leftist living with his transgender boyfriend. The assassination was followed by mass online celebration by a large contingent of leftists. Democrat leaders have sought to hide or downplay both of these facts, while continuing to suggest that Kirk deserved to die because of his political positions. New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), who has continued to portray Kirk as a "racist" since his death, argued against the resolution, claiming that it would "bring great pain" to millions of Americans affected by the Jim Crow era. Many Democrats continue to take Kirk's comments out of context as a way to defame his memory (a subtle rationalization for his murder). This response from Democrat politicians is not surprising given their cold reception to the idea of a silent prayer for Kirk in Congress immediately after his murder. Some Democrats can be heard yelling "No!" and rejecting calls for the prayer as the Speaker Mike Johnson demands order. This behavior and the refusal to condemn political violence is yet more proof that the extremism of the political left is not limited to a "fringe minority" of activists - It is a cancer that has metastasized all the way to the top of the Democratic Party. One can theorize all day as to why so many Democrats refused to put their names on the resolution and at the very least signal that they do not condone the actions of politically motivated assassins. However, consider the fact that leftists have lost the elections, lost the young male vote, lost the overall debate and they are losing the culture war. They may see violence as the only viable avenue left for them to regain power.

Moreover, this will SCREW over startups in Silicon Valley, who quite frankly can't afford this shit. T Yep, It's pretty scary that we have fallen so far behind China the last decade. The U.S. used to lead in 58 of the 65 areas mostly technology. Not anymore. Now we only lead in 5. Just looking at the list of patents China is publishing currently vs the U.S. ought to concern leaders in this country. They don't care. Just destroy all research at universities and as you said don't let the smartest, most motivated people come to America. Circling the drain... E
