      It make sense that if corporations control both parties, and Boden has done good work for workers rights, they’d hamstring the “not-super-evil” party and push for the other party… It’s a conspiracy theory but billionaires want Trump since he promises tax cuts, relief, and loopholes. For the rich.

        Most labor friendly president in US history = protecting rail corporations from a stike?

        Standards are low.

        Trump brings with him chaos. He’s going to use those presidential immunity powers to murder people. I don’t see how that uncertainty will bring profit.

      Yeah, I gotta say that making the election a referendum on Trump personally seems a whole lot more likely to be successful than making it a referendum on the federal AWB. That wasn’t a political success story for the Democrats.

      But, I dunno. Maybe his team has some kind of angle, like they’re trying to move some critical demographic that they think that they can influence.

      EDIT: I gotta say that aside from the question of whether it’s a good policy or whether it’s a good move politically, every time it sounds like a ban is proposed, it sets off a massive wave of firearms sales, so I’d guess that firearms vendors are going to have a good time.
