It sure sounds like Bezos wanted to endorse Trump. Nice that all the elites are lining up with Trump. They’ve always been the corporate party, despite what their voters think.

They're not tech moguls, they're fucking oligarchs, and we are now an oligarchy. Just call it what it is. They know a useful idiot when they see one, and now they have him in their pocket. We're all fucked

I am old enough to remember WaPo last week killing an Op/Ed cartoon on that topic bsky.app/profile/annt...

The media watchdog FAIR addresses "repitition"--> "It’s bizarre to argue that a regular cartoonist’s work should be killed because the paper published a column—or even two!—with similar content..." fair.org/home/wapo-ki...

Yeah, to see how quickly they can destroy our democracy, install tRump as a dictator of the new oligarchy, & they can line their pockets with our tax money, trample the constitution, & rewrite history to make them look like gods. No thank you. I won't be watching. tRump is a felon. You forget that?

The confirmation hearings are no longer used as a job interview. They are a pony show to act like we have representation in government. This song & dance pacifies the public. Government lost the propoganda naritive when Ticktok came out. This is why they are getting rid of it. Welcome in tyranny.

Modern day tycoons, only we get to observe how big of buffoons they are these days. You had to assume these guys were competent in the past before the internet let us in. I’m not sure why we still hold them of any esteem though now that we know they are who they are?

FU Bezo and the anti Americans who work for this shit paper Since 2015: #3 Texas received $2,173,613,809 in FEMA #2 Louisiana received $2,440,034,579 in FEMA And, the #1 shithole state to receive FEMA, while trying to deny others: #1 Florida received $2,514,393,663 in FEMA

A very easy fix Stop using their services. Personally I have stopped using eBay Amazon and Facebook I will never use Star Link I have vowed to never again use a American franchised fast food restaurant I'm one person I don't make much of a difference But a few Billion doing the same That will

"After years of acrimony" WTF. I wouldn't call 465 million in a low interest loan in 2010 acrimony. Nor all the incentives he received in the last 10-15 years. This grifter has received all kinds of Govt goodies from every administration.

Trump, scrap your inaugural balls. Redirect donation to aid Californians left homeless by wildfires. Direct these billionaires to donate 10 times more to relief efforts. Because nothing says 'let them eat cake' quite like Americans dancing in glitter while others sift through ashes of their lives.

I guess that's why WAPO hasn't reported anything on the Jan 6 Special Council's Volume 1 report. Boy, that sure would be AWWWWWKward for Bezos at the inauguration. Your new tagline should be "Journalism Schmirnalism."

Wait—how could that be? Didn’t the Supreme Court philosopher-kings decree in Citizens United that unlimited “independent” expenditures wouldn’t buy access or pose a risk of corruption?

The presidency of Donald Trump and Elon Musk will be like a Superman and James Bond 'crossover' with Trump in the role of Lex Luthor president and Elon Musk as leader of Spectre, but without Superman or 007 fighting the villains.
