It really pisses me off that the money I spend on Apple products is getting funneled to a corrupt lying socialist political hack. I just spent close to $3K last night at Apple on a new MBP for my daughter, headed back to college.... which by the way we are paying for out of pocket.

I don't know why business leaders, entertainers, etc. can't keep their political views out of their business.
It would piss me off even more if it was going to that xenophobic megalomaniac Trump. What a disgusting excuse for a human being he is!
 
Did you do any research on Point 4? List the details please.

But the fact is that he did screw lots of contractors out of money, while still profiting from those same ventures. And it wasn't a one off mistake, he has a pattern of doing business this way.

Do your own research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump.

While he has been in many lawsuits, only a handful did he lose and many of the lawsuits he initiated. Liberals want to believe anything negative about Trump and facts are not something they want to trouble with.

I am not a fan of Trump. I think he's dangerous, but I can't stand people lying to try to keep him from being elected.

But unfortunately, there is only one person who I can say would be a more awful choice than him and in this race it's either him or her.
 
I think Apple should do what Google did with Eric Schmidt. Make Tim Cook Chairman and have someone else run the company. Let Tim do all the environmental and social stuff, meeting with governments and whatnot. I think that's where his heart is.

So..you didn't do any research. Yet you are making the unfounded statements.

You claim Clinton is worse,but you have nothing to back that up too. Okay.

Thanks for playing.
 
Sell out to Hillary in anticipation that she will become president. At least tim is prudent...
 
I agree but this personal thing that he is doing...not as a company. So he could do whatever he wants.
If he uses a single second of is time between 9 and 5 massaging some politicians ego it’s not personal.
 
You could talk about how Trump is hiring Russians to hack the DNC, or how he declared bankruptcy so he wouldn't have to pay his contractors the money he owed them, or his racist xenophobic remarks, or how he supported a kkk candidate, or how he can't borrow money in this country anymore because he is such a poor risk...

Yes, they even found the check he wrote....oh wait, no they didn't. Would that be based off his call to hack the servers that no longer exist and were disconnected months ago sitting with the FBI I take it? And I believe the rules were when you declared bankruptcy back then, those contractors got paid by the government? The racist remarks are my favorite though. Then we have the David Duke endorsement which he rebuked 7 times loud and clear, but the media kind of swept that a way so they could keep the racist label on him. I guess he's a racist too for wanting the Syrian Muslims vetted properly before they enter USA so we don't get more France like attacks? Now he did say he would be happy to work on getting them refugee camps and feeding them over there so humanitarian efforts helped them, but not more terrorists piling in over here. But you don't want to hear that part because it wouldn't support your delusional fantasy message that the world is safer, and everything is roses.

Where do you live? The US economy is doing much better than 8 years ago. Also, he's supporting Clinton, not the criminal Trump.

And this is part of that moves towards fantasyland. What numbers are you looking at to support that?
National Debt before Obama was $9 Trillion, and Obama stated this was just un-American to leave our children with that much debt. Now? $18.6 Trillion.....with a T. This increase is higher than the increases of every president before him...COMBINED. Because it was him, no longer un-American, I like how that works...double standards are good to live by.

Income levels in 2008- First of all thanks to Obamacare, more and more companies just keep employees at part time to avoid having to pay them the significantly increased cost of Health Insurance. That would include my wife. Average Household income in 2008 was over $69,000. Last tally was over $65,000. Perfect timing too, as our incomes went down, the Bush Tax cut expired, so taxes went up. You would think the debt would decrease with that added income to the government, no? And with Obamacare, the cost to insure my wife and I increased from $315 to $850 per month. Great thing about that was I had better coverage at the $315, now I have to challenge every claim they keep denying, plus I get to pay 10 times higher deductible.

Lets talk about Government dependency? Food stamps in 2008 47.6 Million, now 94 million....more people on food stamps than ever in our history.

Homeownership? the lowest since 1967 at 63.4%. That's down from 68% in 2008.

The largest determining factor of a US economy is GDP. Obama is the first president in our history not see a Gross Domestic Product increase of 3% in a year. This ranks him 4th worst president on US Economy in history.

So were you just referring to the stock market when talking economy? Because that feeds the evil rich people.
 
Cheers :rolleyes:

She's gonna need it. She's outspending trump to just be tied with him.
LOL Polls don't mean a thing at this point.

At this point in the last election RNC they had Mitt Romney tied with Obama and we saw how that played out on election day.

What is that? Some sort of Apple Corporate policy?

"Thou shall only work on Apple stuff from 9 am to 5 pm"

Because he's a moron.

Apple is struggling to keep revenue advancing year-over-year, and he tries his best to alienate 60% of the consumer base. Well played, Cook. Now where's that MacPro update? --oh!-- It's not in the schedule due to all the social warrior garbage.

To be fair, the notion of infinite growth is a myth. It's literally impossible for any business.

However, now we see why the iPhone 7 is probably the most uninspired iPhone yet.

Tim is asleep at the switch and allowing himself to be distracted. Not just him. All the Apple executives are running rogue with side affairs in a way that was never allowed in previous years.

The last truly amazing iPhone design was the iPhone 4/4S. It's no coincidence it happened under Steve Jobs. Every other iPhone has been merely okay ever since.
 
WHY on earth would Tim support the Rep[whatevertheirnameis] :confused:.......... AND that big eyed pea brain cheese head Ryan:mad:, who is willing to send Gays to the gas chamber, and I bet he WOULD do it IF the others like him, support him ............. It's like being "Jews for Hitler". I guess it's the "bottom line" that counts in the end. Human Rights. What's that...........??
 
These are political donations, not personal ones. And she could not legally donate them for a purpose other than that for which they are donated to her. So your snark is misplaced.

I have been a supporter of Sec. Clinton for many years. She is a genuinely good person who I believe will make a fine president. For that reason, I am happy to see this news. But for those who disagree, this is Tim Cook's personal fundraiser, not Apple's.

Since when has the law been a concern to Hillary?

Hillary is not a good person, she is one of the most evil, soul-less people I have ever seen. I'm sorry, but you've been lied to. I'm sorry you've believed it.
 
How is calling for a foreign country to hack a presidential nominee not controversial?! Everything he says is controversial.

He never called for a foreign hack, or any hack. You're being lied to by the media.

First of all, his comments were sarcasm, which apparently some people don't understand. Second, his comments were a poke in the eye of the media and the establishment who have all but swept Hillary's treason under the rug. Third, there is nothing to hack cause the server doesn't exist anymore.

If the 'missing' emails have indeed been gathered by someone somewhere on the planet in an earlier hack, it sure as hell would be interesting to see what further debauchery she was engaged in.

CEO shows support for a democratic candidate, the right goes meh.
CEO shows support for a republican candidate, the left goes insane with boycotts and calls to ouster the CEO.

Tolerant, as long as you believe exactly what they do.

Sorry, just had to say it. Now back to being a free thinker, and holding my nose to vote for folks on BOTH sides.
 
Did the Koch Brothers switch sides

Oh yes, the "evil" Koch Brothers, who have done more good in the world than most of us combined. Oh yeah, let's hate on them. Why don't you ask about the funding George Soros (order of magnitude more wealthy) provides to socialist/marxist organizations/causes embraced by the Democrat (err, New Socialist) party?
 
Why can't he just concentrate on business?

You obviously have no clue how business works. This IS business. You can't sell Apple products when your dear leader gets your country in so much trouble you can't export more products. Trump is a joke.
