When billionaires say they want to get rid of the head of the FTC, you know that's someone doing their damn job.

In that case the FTC chair has my full support.

Hopefully, assuming that Harris wins, this will count against pressure from the Democratic Party’s corporate wing to fire her.

Elon Musk is the immigrant they warned us about.

Man you know someone's doing an amazing job when the billionaires are upset and calling for that person to be fired.

A honest person has lots of enemies.

This has been proved time and again.

Such degenerates of the society such as ElMo is hell bent to openly destroy the democratic system the country USA stands for.

He should have been in SA and working in the emerald mine owned by his incestuous dad in shabby conditions with little food and no luxury for him to realise the blood that has been spilled for the creation of the country.

I agree with the article. FTC must be doing their job.

The Khan is coming for all of your hides, focus your gaze and weep.

The dems should’ve nominated Lina. I’d have voted for her in a heartbeat.
