Modern day Gulf of Tonkin incident - a staged diversion.
Why is CBS going to pay extortion money to a child sex ring member sitting in the Oval Office?
This is why MAGA Republicans ban books and defund education. Both foster critical thinking skills and questioning - not blind subservience.
I totally understand your logic but with Cook's vast wealth, probable progressive politics and age, I'd depart rather than prostrate myself to this shameful horror that can't be erased. Despite a stronger hand than perhaps ever dealt in all of human history, he folded.
Still a capitulating bribe. I'd resign first and keep my dignity. Let the next CEO prostrate themselves on camera. Cook's despicable behavior only emboldens Trump and won't age well.
Didn't know.
I don't consider most European countries as true, textbook socialist countries. To me they are liberal democracies and smart. So I guess we disagree on definitions but agree America is badly failing and at growing risk. Except Hungry, I'd gladly move to basically any European nation today.
I'm not embarrassing myself but your worded reply l reminds me of the mess I left behind on Twitter and is still fortunately rare here. Don't want an honest discussion hang out there.
I do have high regards for many European nations especially Scandinavia. Our US model is as broken and corrupt as I saw in socialist countries
Well I've studied political economics at a PhD level (didn't get degree but close ran out of money) and traveled to a number of socialist countries like the Soviet Union and China. I know socialism only works for the elite.
Conservatism is broken because Republicans stopped accepting facts with the rise of Fox and Tea Party movement. Socialism never worked except for the elite and never will.
Supporting free markets with non-invasive small government!
Want your daughters to needlessly die? Move to Republican state!
Still a weak cave that won't age well. I'll take adtech spying that's not limited to Android over giving the Rape King a sloppy public blowjob. No Tesla in my pocket. Never!
I Agree but the optics are terrible. Cook rolled over like a nervous puppy. Glad I don't carry a Tesla in my pocket!!
Yes, small non-invasive government.
I've never owned an Apple product and laugh at everyone that vastly overpays and now carries a symbol of capitulation to authoritarianism in their pocket. The new Tesla!
I'm satisfied I've never purchased an overpriced Apple product - zero regrets especially now.
I never have and never will. Overpriced, over-hyped stuff now a symbol of open authoritarian appeasement. Fuck that!
But I haven't seen images of them bowing with gifts of gold and praise for the rapist king.
I don't see them handing over gold gifts to Trump and openly praising the rapist king.
I don't see Google leaders presenting a gold gift or servicing Trump in public. Cook's weak display was disgusting.
I refuse to buy anything from Apple. Never have never will. Overpriced and now a symbol of weak capitulation to a rapist king.
I love my latest Pixel phone and PCs. No bowing to a king.
I love my Android phone and PCs. This is so disgusting. Boycott Apple. Stop the monopoly. Restore your integrity.
So glad I don't own an Apple product and probably never will. The new Tesla.
I'm so glad I refuse to buy Apple products. Love my Android phone and PCs without feeding the dick-tator.
I can't help but think China is paying him to purposely undermine the US.
This really is a death cult.
And Trump will demand a Nobel Peace Price or will sanction the EU or bomb Norway and Sweden.
Presidential material? I didn't think so but this might change my opinion.
Yes and the difference is while Biden s cognitive abilities declined he was actually surrounded by spectacularly talented people that took our country to good, prosperous not dark, dangerous places.
So I guess this "brilliant lawyer" forgot about the Supreme Court case where the homophobic baker was allowed to not sell to a gay wedding couple. Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, 584 U.S. 617 (2018)
Compassionate Conservatism.
Well blue states are mostly less vulnerable.
Like the KGB. Putin as former KGB head is a masterful instructor.
I have a go bag ready.
Cruel and unusual punishment and I'm not an attorney..
Let's hire more!
Idiots. Tax Americans then pay them. This will require a new bureaucracy. I thought point was to cut back.
So Trump isn't making America great again?
A very good MAGA boy. Well trained!
Trump should pardon him and make him the Minister of Truth
Arrest and deport pollsters and reporters! Make this disappear! Make Russia Great Again!!
Sounds like a threat. Keep quiet or die like the boyfriend.
The former sex model? I guess that was art.
Trump should arrest GM's CEO for communist treason! Right? How dare they announce negative earnings.
Oh. This will definitely help make this go away.
Jealous
Now why would Trump have ordered that one? Take all the time you need, MAGA. I’ll wait.
Seems like a multi billion dollars lawsuit here.
Maybe NPR can stop pretending to give equal air time to Nazi MAGA and cover them like they really are. Nazis.
I refuse to watch it after paying Trump a pure bribe. It'll continue to wither away.
How sad. He can join another Florida Man sexual abuser politician.
Is the secret coercive trafficking and sex with young girls? How does the Christian right deal?
An they say systemic racism doesn't exist. Fucking bullshit.
Open MAGA cannibalism. Rejoice.
Let the document discovery process begin just in time for midterms. I think QAnon might weirdly save our republic. These people are rabid animals - they shoot puppies and eat their own.
Oh piss on them. Trump is off the charts sick.
Let the document discovery process begin. Just in time for midterms. Sweet.
A partial release will put this latter to rest!
By pure chance sharing a side by side table in a closet-size Manhattan restaurant in the early 90s with Steve Martin and Harrison Ford dining together. After some small talk they went on to gossip about Woody Allen somehow thinking I wasn't ignoring my date and following their every word.
Oh military run concentration camps. Sounds like the Nazi, Soviets, Cubans and more. This doesn't end well folks. Read history before it's erased.
My psychologist friend told a malignant narcissist like Trump lacks empathy and is fine burning down their own house killing people inside.
But how will the ankle bracelet now fit?
Was OJ Simpson nearby?
Hahaha easier for her to spill the beans giving her motivation
Oh this will tamp down for certain.
And think MAGA used to whine about cancel culture
Brought to you by "Christians"
Nothing Trump does is successful. Failure is part of Putin's mandate to destroy America from within. A brilliant strategy made possible by gullible idiots.
Much of rural America struggles with just broadband coverage and keeping roads open. You fucking think farm automation is going to make up the difference for immigrant labor. Who's going to pay for these investments and service them????
And Bush Republicans used to warn about imaginary UN Blue Helmets invading parks.
The MAGA death cult killed hundreds of thousands of mostly Republicans with Covid and vaccine lies. Think they care about 30+ plus little girls at a Texas Christian summer camp? They don't. Pass it along as midterms approach.
An best of all unlike MAGA there is no planned cruelty or dehumanization with staged arrests, alligators and other brutality.
Next political opponents will be rounded up in detention camps. Think Russia, China and North Korea
American gulag system ramping up. Next to be detained are political opponents. Look at all authoritarian countries like Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba and more. No difference.
From the "free speech" and "small, non- invasive" government party
No golf or his video recorded preference for "fucking married women"? What happened?
From the no canceling culture free speech wing of the Republican death cult of lies. Enjoy your weekend!
Trump will pardon and hire him. Guaranteed.
Don't vote for a disgraced sexual abuser.
Both his brain and ears are broken.
Kennedy is a brain-worm inflicted ex heroin junkie quack killing children. The worst of the MAGA death cult.
Didn't know. Boycotting and spreading the word. It hurt Target.
Says the guy caught on tape saying "I like to fuck married women" like a good Christian.
In my line of work, I'm supporting two companies with CEOs leaving Texas to protect their families and employees. This makes my job easier!
Old faithful. He's bedrock of our democracy actually doing his job.
We're doomed.
Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...
I beg all ICE protestors to follow the law and please Don't buy or make your own tire spikes. These are awful, they slow down or even stop immigration enforcement and create headaches for all. Don't do it!!!
Please don't ever use purchased or homemade tire spikes. They do terrible damage to ICE cars and really slow everything way. Please!
Crap. Another Trump casualty. Think old white dudes like me will pick?
Haven't thought of this.
Says the no canceling free speecher
My tech CEO friend is relocating his company to the East Coast. Between gun worship and denial of even emergency reproductive care for female employees he's out.
Yes yes Yes
Nazi Gestapo didn't wear masks. These single mall cop minor upgrades are pure evil fucks.
I see ICE commandeering the stadium as a mass concentration camp for brown people and political opponents.
