President-elect Donald Trump realized early in his campaign that U.S. IT workers were angry over training foreign visa-holding replacements. He knew this anger was volcanic.

Trump is the first major U.S. presidential candidate in this race -- or any previous presidential race -- to focus on the use of the H-1B visa to displace IT workers. He asked former Disney IT employees, upset over having to train foreign replacements, to speak at his rallies.

"The fact is that Americans are losing their jobs to foreigners," said Dena Moore, a former Disney IT worker at a Trump rally in Alabama in February. "I believe Mr. Trump is for Americans first."

Yes, US nerds were angry about training H-1B replacements, but how much could they have helped put him over the top?

    Sorry but not only is it accurate, she pushed with her husband to expand 3 strikes laws and increase prison sentences for drugs that were used exclusively by blacks, for example if you were caught with powder coke (used by whites) you got much less time than crack which is an "inner city" (translation black) drug. Wanna watch the video? [youtube.com]

    So you can call me names, label me a troll for showing reality, but the fact that anybody DARES to try to use the bigotry card against Trump when defending a woman that has literally targeted black teens specifically and destroyed tens of thousands of black lives, many permanently thanks to 3 strikes? Is not only wrong its fucking disgusting and shameful.
