Apple CEO Tim Cook Plans to Host Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton Next Month

[Savor]

Apple is betting on the right horse. Tim Cook is a gay man with a good heart. Bill & Hillary is the modern-day Camelot. A more powerful American political couple than Jack & Jackie ever were. Eleanor Roosevelt was a strong woman but was never POTUS. When some of us Generation X-ers and Millennials hit their age (close to 70), there will be movies and a TV series made about them. Billary should be riding off into the sunset in their golden years. Living legends? Maybe they are sincere with their intentions?

Bill was 45 when he was elected. That's still young to have mistresses and still be sex-crazed. Sex is the key to a long life. Look it up. Hugh Hefner is still alive. Helps decrease the chance of prostate cancer for a man. Sex drive slows down in their 60's. This is the homestretch of their lives. Maybe Grandma Hillary gets breast cancer. Grandpa Bill gets it for prostate. Still want to make a difference as senior citizens. Bill had all those extramarital affairs but it didn't seem to ruin Hill or Chelsea's love for him. Media just loves picking it all apart. When you look at their marriage after what they all went through is when you that love and dedication was put into it. Get knock down. Get back up. Only makes you stronger.

All I hear from Donald is Crooked Hillary and getting rid of minorities. Spitting venom. Where are his policies? The same minorities that work for peanuts because the dollar is stronger than their currency. This isn't the 1950's where being a conservative white person living in the suburbs was heaven and things were MADE IN USA. Whites are not even the majority. Latinos are becoming it. Bill Russell was a victim of racism even in Boston. Segregated restaurants, schools, buses, etc back in those good ol' 1950's. Coons, remember?? Spooks? With social media back then, would all of us really like Ike?

Final years. Ready for to the final chapters to this powerful, political love team...

Both suck, but Hillary as president is more scary than Trump as president.

Maybe Tim can teach her how to use email....

Blaming the Russians for the DNC email hack was stupid. As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton approved Russian uranium deals that she then collected donations from stakeholders:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/u...ssed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html?_r=0

She's already in the Russian's pocket. She's the most corrupt politician in world history.

The Obama administration lost all credibility when Obama failed to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the personal email server she used for her position as secretary of state. Attorney General Lynch then struck a deal with Bill Clinton on their private jet meeting - Lynch probably also got to moisten a cigar for Bill - that's what they meant when they said it was a 'private' meeting - but they dropped the 's'. And why Hillary thinks wiping always requires a cloth - she's been wiping Bills cigars for years with her hanky, which is why she's now coughing so much...

By the way, we should raise taxes on the top tier to pay back all that money the Bush admin stole fighting the wars in the middle east, and is the reason we have such a big debt.

I'm in the top tier, just barely, and you're not raising my taxes. I am taxed plenty, thank you very much. If you raise the rates, I will emigrate to Singapore. Now you're out the hundred grand a year I paid in taxes. Where are you going to get that money?

 

[normanfox]

I am not a big fan of Trump but Hillary is a proven liar, a career politician what has no accomplishment but many failures (Libya, Email, Clinton Foundation, Bill love/lie affair, Watergate, DNC corruption (Sander has no chance).

at my company and many other companies, you would be fired if you violate email security policy. and they will not hire you back, let alone promote you. Yet Hillary put the national security at risk (to hide her secret from the Gov) with her personal email server. The Gov did not punish her and even promote her to the president.

Imagine this: Eddie Cue sends email with Apple confidential trade secret using his personal email server. Samsung got this secret by paying hackers. Apple lost tech advantage due to this. Do you think Apple would promote Eddie Cue to CEO?

Paying for a war that former President Bush started. On trumped-up charges. The intelligence community was telling him that the data he had was bogus, but President Bush just really wanted to invade Iraq. Well congratulations, President Bush got thousands more Americans killed and injured than Osama Bin Laden could manage. By invading a country that had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. But it only cost trillions of dollars. And tens of thousands of American casualties. And an order of magnitude more dead Iraqis (I know, I know, dead Iraqi civilians don't count as much as dead Americans). And stirred up a hornets nest of hatred towards the US in the Middle East (why is this never learned, that when you screw with other country's sovereignity, they don't like it?), the repercussions of which we are still suffering to this day.

President Bush and his cronies created this problem, and you want to talk about how much President Obama has to spend on this mess that they saddled him with?

Um, check your facts. Congress has the sole power to declare war, not the President. Democrats were in charge (with a majority) of the US Senate when the Iraq war was declared by an authorization of use of force. Hillary Clinton was part of that Democrat Senate majority. The Democrat controlled Senate could have blocked the Iraq war before it even came to a vote, but they did not. The Senate has access to the same intelligence as the President. So Hillary and the Democrats are even more to blame for the Iraq war because they declared it.

But it gets worse. Let's assume Hilary fans are correct and that she and her Democrat party are geniuses of foreign policy. That means they knew Iraq would go very bad, but let it happen anyway because they knew they could blame a Republican president (W) using a biased media, and also undermine our military's ability to prevail. So they declared a hapless war that got thousands of American solders killed for their own political gain. The contents of the publicly released DNC emails that show the bias against Sanders is just more proof of the Democrats moral corruption, which is unbounded.

Please check all this out - if you vote for Hillary Clinton, you are voting to destroy America.

See above... Getting solders killed for political gain is tantamount to treason.

 

[macpro2000]

Not much of a fan of Hillary but she's at least better than Trump.

Yeah sure, if you like liars.

 

[Kabeyun]

But why would she need more money?

Sorry, I am not from the USA so I might be missing something.

Happy to teach.

This isn't to raise money to give her as a present. It's to help finance her Presidential campaign.

The 2010 Citizens United vs the Federal Election Commission decision by the Supreme Court of the United States (the highest court in the land) essentially determined that corporations have the same rights to free speech as individual citizens. In my opinion this can't possibly be what the authors of our Constitution wanted, but nonetheless this is how the text was interpreted in the majority opinion. This led to statutes allowing unrestricted money flowing through so-called Super PACs (Political Action Committees) which don't have to curtail or report donations as long as they can justify their activities as educational rather than supporting a particular candidate.

These legal developments have opened the flood gates allowing vast amounts of money, often anonymous and undisclosed, to flow through the American political process. Candidates without access to enormous amounts of capital in their "war chests" can't compete in terms of expensive polling, advertising, staffing, and ground operations costs. Bernie Sanders may be proud that his average donor gave $27, but he needed 8 million of them to stay in the game.

America is turning into a plutocracy. Say what you will about Clinton or Trump (and can any Trump-The-Billionnaire supporter really criticize Hillary Clinton's money with a straight face?), the Democratic Party platform is the only major party platform supporting both the overturn of Citizens United and strict campaign finance reform, and that's why they have my support. The more money and politics are intertwined the more the haves will take advantage of the have nots. It's simply human nature.
[doublepost=1469849554][/doublepost]

Yeah sure, if you like liars.

If you hate liars then you must really hate Donald Trump too. Or is it just liars you already hated for other reasons?

 

[ethanwa79]

Why can't he just concentrate on business?

LOL. He IS. Clinton is better than Trump for Apple.... Trump has already called for a boycott of all Apple products. How does that help them AT ALL?

Not only that, but he is free to do whatever he wants. He's a citizen like everyone else.

He called for those boycotts and tweeted from his iphone a bit later, the hypocritical pig that he is :- ).

 

[Treq]

do you know how much Obama is paying for the war right now? for Afghanistan, Iraq, Libia, and Syria? not including subsidize 70% of NATO budget for other countries riding free in EU.

I'm in the top tier, just barely, and you're not raising my taxes. I am taxed plenty, thank you very much. If you raise the rates, I will emigrate to Singapore. Now you're out the hundred grand a year I paid in taxes. Where are you going to get that money?

1. How patriotic of you to cut and run without paying your share of the bill.
2. Good luck making that kind of money in Singapore.
3. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

What the heck are you smoking?! You MUST have typed that wrong... You must mean that TRUMP is more scary as president than Hillary. Unless you know more than all the national security experts, economists, and just about every person with half a brain in the free world.

 

[Aragornii]

So we have a woman with a history of being anti gay rights running against a man with a history or being inclusive, and the gay CEO of Apple votes for the "don't ask don't tell/DOMA" candidate. Congratulations Tim Cook, you've outed yourself as a partisan and not a man of principal.

 

[CarlJ]

Congress has the sole power to declare war, not the President. Democrats were in charge (with a majority) of the US Senate when the Iraq war was declared by an authorization of use of force.

Lovely, so then it was all "if you're not with us, you're against us", and wrapping themselves up in the flag and yelling traitor at anyone who won't go along with their plans, and yelling "cut and runners!" any time anyone suggested we stop this madness...

... but now it's really the Democrats fault that Bush maneuvered the country into a pointless war. Good to know. I guess we'll have to keep that in mind for next time.

First this...

"Apple has informed Republican leaders it will not be supporting the party's 2016 presidential convention in Cleveland next month, according to sources who spoke to Politico today."


Then this...

"Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to host a fundraiser that will benefit Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, reports BuzzFeed. Cook, along with Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of environment, policy, and social initiatives, will host the event as private citizens, not as representatives of Apple."


Apple, a California corporation in the most liberal state in the union. Cupertino located in Silicon Valley where the uber wealthy entitled generations are more disconnected from mainstream America than anywhere else. Heavily populated by far left liberals, Tim Cook jumping in bed with Hillary Clinton is no surprise.

Stupid... But not surprising.

He can't, because Tim Cook is homosexual and being homosexual is what Tim Cook is now all about. It was better when he was all about being an executive of Apple Computer, but those are bygone days. Now he's the Homosexual CEO™ and that means being fused at the hip with the Democratic Party. Because of their bitter history of being oppressed by an overweening state determined to pry into everyone's private life, homosexuals are obliged to help Democrats usher in an overweening state determined to pry into everyone's private life.

You seem to be misaligned with recent and current developments. That "homosexual CEO" might have contributed to the current acceptance of gays,

There is a huge difference between the folks who don't really care what gays do in their private lives, but who don't want the definition of marriage changed, and those in the various countries who bought access to Hillary who regularly torture and murder gays. Big big difference. If you can't see that, then you need your head examined.

It does not matter what those folks want. The big lie of "marriage being a 'religious' invention" has been exposed ages ago. The pathetic "christians" have never complained about government being involved in "marriage" until government became open to the current defintion of "marriage" (depending on country, of course, here I'll just say "go **** yourself" if some cultist idiot tells me that his "god" doesn't approve of my marriage :-D )

No, hopefully they don't want to murder gays, but why on earth should anyone feel thankful for that, since some "christian" cult is trying to claim the term "marriage" falsely to be their own? What a pathetic and disgusting joke.

Actually, he is. While the Trump brand is already pretty bad in the US, it is 10x worse in the rest of the world. Aligning with Clinton is both more ethical and better for business from an international perspective.
