I am not so sure about that. Trump is more or less openly atheist and he paid only lip service to the "Bible Thumpers" and they fell all over him. He even mocked them with his "drink my wine and eat my little cracker" line.

Maybe he genuinely found religion. Personally I am a "lapsed Catholic", I believe in faith but I don't really practice it. But hey, good for Zuckerberg if that's what makes him happy. Politically it seems like he is a moderate Republican and they generally don't buy into the "Religious Right" mantra.

Mark Zuckerberg would rather employ H1-Bs instead of Americans. He's been whining for years about how this country needs more H1-Bs---that's a bald faced lie. We don't need visa workers.

LOL! Sure.

If you didn't think Trump was qualified, what makes you thing Suckerberg is? Anyway, it's a little early, and Trump will probably have eight years. After Trump, it will likely be Pence.

Democrats aren't going to regain power for decades at the rate they're going.

The Guardian is a leftist news organization compared with the BBC. Then again most are, such as Reuters, the Associated Press, etc.

To say nothing of censoring speech ...he's a real live liberal, that's for sure. Don't think we need the likes of him in politics.

That's exactly what we need - another young egomaniac for a President who puts everyone before Americans and continues chipping away at our civil liberties.

No thanks.

Obama is a Christian. Trump isn't.
