Oh shut up you clown. I think it is time to change your tin foil hat. The only thing you succeed in when writing a post like that is to show everyone that there are muppets that actually live and breathe.

The dems felt they had to shut it down. They were attacked by their own voters for not shutting it down earlier this year. It’s all meaningless political posturing. Nothing at all will change because of any of this. Is Nvidia all the sudden going to make less money? No.
