If that were the case, there wouldn’t be a government shutdown right now. Fancy that.

Apple Donating to Trump's $350M White House Ballroom Project

I remember when people said Trump would turn the White House into Mar-A-Lago. And not accept results of elections or concede them. It was all written off as TDS.
This is a crap project for an egomaniac as he doesn’t put his personal touch on the White House, but tries to turn the whole thing into a freak show.
Nuance my friend. You understand it’s a process, right?
Funny how you indeed typed this before even googling to see if you are wrong! LOL! There is a lot of competition between the German universities. There is a lot of competition between our healthcare providers. How could this be?
Look at this monstrosity!
Straight up ripping off Speer's plans for Berlin:

If only these "donors" realized that Trump has no loyalty to them the moment he gets their "donation".
Everything. Despite his cognitive state, the Greatest President has some ethics : when being bribed, he feels compelled to honor the bribe. To borrow from poker lingo, the $1m ticket for his Great Dinner was the ante: without this, you can't even reach him. For serious business you have to bribe again, like ABC did with his $15m settlement, same as Paramount $16m and many others. Now $350m by Apple is a bold raise that will certainly trickle down to the trump organisation.

How much of the money being collected goes into Trump's pocket (indirectly, of course)? What most people don't get is that the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) built as a bomb-shelter/bunker during WWII sat underneath the East Wing. It has been upgraded with new technologies over the years, but the bunker itself is still only suitable for protecting the president in a WWII-style attack. The secret likely going on here will be a complete overhaul, enlarging, and hardening of the PEOC. While the American public is focused on the corrupt part of this plan, our adversaries will be watching via satellite to determine what is being put underneath the ground and what kind of reinforcement will be sitting atop it as the floor of the ballroom.
3 people are so upset that their supreme leader was called orange.. pathetic
History has a tendency to repeat itself.
The sad part is the people that aren’t educated on history and are clearly on the wrong side of it going forward.
Without saying "his party had the word socialist in the name" can you explain what made Hitler a socialist? Because his actions and policies don't really reflect it.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. That’s 12 days of work in over 3 months.With full pay and benefits.The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
It's supposed to. It's not a castle. That money is supposed to serve the people, not make fancy pointless crap like this. What problem does that ballroom solve?
He’s insisting that the DOJ pay him $230 because he got caught stealing top secret documents…then committed obstruction of justice to hide that fact.
I wish I could see the look on all the Cook lovers faces when they read this one! Classic.
Nobody knows anything about this. It's frustrating.
History lesson: it was "national socialism".
To the working class it was "national SOCIALISM".
To the wealthy it was "NATIONAL socialism".
That's how you end up with FASCISM: get both ideologies to vote for you.
Guess who only saw the SOCIALISM bit...
hi
here is the difference:
lets say that a progressive left of center company thinks that a President in office is in alignment with that company's general policy goals. (think biden, or obama, or bush, or reagan) and that company makes campaign contributions or donates to some cause that that President supports. that donation is because they have a common interest. they do it because they want to.
this is the way that democracies work.
then, lets say that a progressive left of center company thinks that a President in office is not in alignment with that company's general policy goals. (think trump, or next-President vance) and that company makes campaign contributions or donates to some cause that that President supports. that donation is because they have good reason to fear retribution. they do it because there is a crooked man in the Presidency.
this is the way tyranny starts.
apple has very able corporate executives whose names we have never heard of, whose job it is to know how to scratch the itches of dictators, in china, in india, in brazil, and now, in the USA.
god bless our souls.
I am disgusted that any of these companies are involved in this payola. He is raping the USA while people starve, lose their med insurance and so many other things. He is destroying the core values, institutions and morality of the country. He is a rampant dictator and it makes me sick that Apple are actively participating in is terrible moment of our history. Anyone who thinks destroying half the White House without so much as a permit, oversight or any permission is a good thing has little love for the country and its laws
