      Anyone who’s still using Amazon and wants to keep democracy is drowning in cognitive dissonance. Amazon is a bigger threat to decent lives for non-millionaires than any single politician, even granting that Trump is a nightmare.

    This is that “liberal news media” that Republicans keep yammering on about.

    The one that’s owned by six corporations.

    Where are the conspiracy theorists when there is actually something going on? I guess they stand back and stand by…

    In a 2019 lawsuit, Amazon claimed it lost a $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract to Microsoft because Trump used “improper pressure … “to harm his perceived political enemy” Bezos.

      That doesn’t really matter. They were just trying to use the system to get more tax cuts and passes.

      Kamala wants to raise taxes on the rich 4+%, while Trump wants to lower them by ~1.5% (again). These asshole would want to see Trump harm americans and destroy the system for a few extra % in their pocket.

        I agree, but the quote adds some context to why Besos would do such things. I’m not agreeing with it in any way.

    If Idocracy is a documentary, what does that make Elysium? It seems like we are headed that way more and more.

      Not for nothing but what would even happen if someone like Bezos got caught red-handed killing someone on twitch.

      I don’t think very much. Free shipping to come in before 10am is just too good to pass up.

    The Richest People on EARTH supporting Trump is PROOF that the Middle Class will be BETTER under Trump! Jeff Bezos and Elon Dipshit are KNOWN to Treat their Workers EXTREMELY WELL!

      I think the laws we already have about free speech mean the government absolutely can’t tell a newspaper owner what to print. They can be held liable if they break laws, but not endorsing a candidate is not illegal.

    long as he doesnt force a trump endorsement in its place, it could be an arguement for impartiality
