It's absolutely stunning to read the level of support for the incoming fascist regime in the US, on these pages.
Yeah, it'll be the same ultra-fascist leadership as last time 🙄
All these industry leaders donating to Donald Trump always makes me think of Gustav Krupp in 1933. Nobody ever learns from history.
Actually Trump is not one to take revenge. He’s already saying he won’t prosecute any one of the people involved on the political witch hunt. He never went after Clinton either, so he’s not someone that would go after the corrupt, he understands it’s a dirty business. Elon on the other hand is a very vengeful person, I’m sure he will try for the government to go after Apple
As opposed to Biden, who's been peddling his last name for decades & whose family members have been flexing his name to curry favors & bags of cash and when caught gives unprecedented pardons to sweep the issue under the rug right?
Tim has formed something of a friendship with President Trump and using his own personal money. I don't see the problem
Between this and Laurene Powell-Jobs suing farmers who wouldn’t sell their farms to California Forever, Apple’s magic is officially dead and gone.
It is not his ring they are kissing...
You can still get your pop corn. US News media has still NOT learned a lesson. TDS is fun to watch. Much better than any form of entertainment.
This right here is why Democrats lost 100% of Congress. Yall never learn.
tim crook donating to felons under the guise of unity but really a quid pro quo
It’s not new but lobbying of all types I despise, no matter who is doing it and whatever side benefits.
Unfortunately you try and prevent it then it reverts to lots of small “gifts” and through other shady means to try and hide it.
I never understood what sense those expensive inaugurations make. They costs more than $100 million each. That's as much as a Hollywood movie. They are paid by donations, but what benefit does the president have from that? Couldn't he make better use for so much money? Instead there are now a lot of donors who expect a favor from the president just because of that senseless inauguration.
$100M is peanuts. Western North Carolina still in shambles, yet Zelensky gets billions every other month.
THAT is the website you’re going to link to as your source? Like, seriously? Of all the websites you could have picked, this is your source. You further vindicate my point.
Donald Trump’s 10 Worst Attacks on the LGBTQ+ Community
Healthcare access. Unsafe schools. Transphobic propaganda. Trump has endangered LGBTQ+ lives in countless ways.www.them.us
Looks absurd but Cook is there because of hardcore capitalism and he just also "happens" to be gay.
And as Marx taught the world, Capital is incapable of caring about people. It's technically operated by people but it's people who are accurately selected to guarantee they'll always put profit first.
The only reason US is not higher on the list of most corrupt countries in the world is that the whole political system is designed around corruption. When corruption is legal, it doesn’t count.
It’s literally the same act. A private entity pays a political body to obtain a benefit. The definition of corruption is that this payment is illegal. As long as it’s legal to pay the government for private benefit, it’s not corruption. But I challenge anyone to describe the difference.
The fact that this payment is made by Tim Cook and not Apple, only makes this abundantly clear. He’s obviously doing it to gain a benefit, but in Trump land, it’s more beneficial - and orders of magnitudes cheaper - for the person to be in good standing than the company. If Trump likes the person, he will provide the company with benefits. It is corruption, if not by the letter of the law.
