Apple Withholds Republican Convention Donations Over Trump Politics

[maxsix]

I remember when republicans refused to do anything the day oboma was elected. they sat around and accomplished almost nothing getting the rep of the most useless congress in recent times. calling him racist names treating him like less then a president. trying to ban obomacare over and over and over and over and over The names they called the president the racism was and is amazing. So why not take your blinders off and look how republicans treated him. Wait can't do that can you?

The President is supposed to be a Strong, Smart, Clever Leader.

Leaders routinely overcome adversity, routinely inspire people to work together. They get things done that others cannot.

Hussein is an exemplary victim. Whining, crying, pointing fingers at any convenient target. Over and over, crying "The Republicans Won't do" this and that.

Such a sad dude... that doesn’t deserve to be called a man, must less the title he holds.

In France there are Socialists and Communists, for example. That is the left.

Social liberalism is no more liberalism than it is socialism.

Hussein is an exemplary victim. Whining, crying, pointing fingers at any convenient target. Over and over, crying "The Republicans Won't do" this and that.

And yet, here Republicans sit - unable to win a national election in what will end up being sixteen years. Maybe an even twenty after that. Beaten by a "victim" and a "whining crybaby", over and over.

How pitiful these tough, rugged manly men. Pathetic? Yes.

Zing. Thumbs up on that one!

“The constitution shall never be construed...to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”
― Alexander Hamilton

"peaceable citizens"... interesting choice of words.

Riiiigght... because surely it's "Hussein" and not the great and mighty Trump who cwaies like a widdle baby every time the media says... say... *SNIFFLE*... NOT-NICE THINGS about him!

There are plenty of countries you can live in with socialist or communist government so why try to ruin/change the US from what the founding fathers intended? And yes, Bernie is a self proclaimed Socialist with unsustainable economic and social policies by everyone's measure (One of the largest issues with Socialism).

China holds 1.2 trillion of US debt.
Meanwhile US infrastructure is raging and will fail more and more frequently
The only 2 metrics the US is number 1 in is prison population and military spending
Countries with a more socialist view point out perform the US on
Health, education,free speech,corruption, freedom of the press,welfare,poverty, crime, etc etc etc

In REAL terms, people in the USA we better on in the 1970s than they are today

Are you about to argue that he was a Founding Father and for big government? Please spare us as it is largely false.

He also died in a duel so he was ultimately pro 2nd amendment.

You can be killed in a duel and not own a gun.

Says a liberal website. Nice job.

The Republican Party is, and has been a disaster for over a decade. Anyone familiar with politics has known all about the problems they have. As such it's easy for the Democratic Party to win, only the insecure would brag about that hollow victory.

Lets look at Hillary vs Trump.

Really?
You call this a race?

The Clinton Machine has provided Hillary with a well experienced campaign staff of approximately 800-900.

Trump has under 100.

Really?
Liberal Progressives are excited like it's a close race? Liberals here are creating a thread for every little revelation or made up story about Trump. All this fear and paranoia over an outspoken man with almost no chance to win.

Really...

 

[APlotdevice]

Says a "liberal website" which you probably didn't even bother to read because you would rather just assume everything on Fox News is 100% accurate because it comforts you.

Source? Proof that it's a liberal website?

Mark this day on your calendar...we actually agree on something!

The Clinton Machine has provided Hillary with a well experienced campaign staff of approximately 800-900.

Trump has under 100.

The number I heard today was 30. But maybe that's just paid staff. I suppose he could have more unpaid staff.

Really?

Almost? Then by your own admission there is a chance. Thus the numerous threads. But let's not pretend that the right wing doesn't create a multitude of threads about Hillary too.

 

[Hirakata]

Apple never donated to Adolf Hitler when he was up for Chancellor of Germany either. So it's no surprise they also withhold from Trump.

When I clicked on the story, I was wondering how long it would take before someone brought up AH, but the twelfth post? Wow! Must be a record.

smh.

 

[highdough]

Just curious? Rhetorical question. How much ACTUAL objective research has gone into shaping your viewpoint?

More than just about any Trump supporter, that's for sure.
[doublepost=1466482014][/doublepost]

Who? Are you talking about Obama?

I don't get the point you are trying to make...

Well, if you're making those (false) claims about Obama, then why on earth would you support Trump, then, since he actually does all of that?

 

[KPOM]

Such good friends he didn't remember Ali was muslim when he tweeted he couldn't think if any great muslim athletes when Obama said there were many.

Ali and Trump were friends. Progressives like you are entitled to your opinion but not your own facts. Open-minded liberals like you have convinced yourselves that anyone who disagrees with you is racist or a bigot, and thus have closed your minds to any thought that someone like Trump could genuinely like Ali, and that he was speaking in hyperbole. You lack any sense of subtlety.

Elizabeth Warren tweeted that GOP senators literally voted to sell weapons to ISIS when they voted down a gun control measure. Never mind that her heroine Hillary Clinton actually did sell weapons to terrorists. No one is less tolerant of dissent than you open-minded liberals.

 

[thekev]

Im not sure someone with the mentally ill liberal type genetics can comprehend such a concept: that actions have real life consequences. People like that are not fit to be leaders.

If you tell me we should do what is correct, not what is best for our country, and willingly let us be destroyed, I would not want you as my leader, and I would hope the rest of the country agrees that we shouldn't let ourselves be destroyed.

All the solutions to our current chaos involve some extreme measures, thats why its ok that Trump threatens to be a little extreme, we need some extreme solutions because the USA is extremely ****** up.

It's clear that you aren't familiar with genetics or interested in writing a genuine response. As usual it's it's just an ascription of individual behaviors to inborn traits. I'll leave you to your nonsense.

According to that right wing rag the Washington Post, Omar Mateen was a Hillary supporter.

Liberalism is not libertarianism and socialism is not communism.

Those are correct statements.
[doublepost=1466487744][/doublepost]

"The Republicans Won't do" this and that.

So that must mean they're going to fulfill their constitutional obligation and vote on Merrick Garland's nomination?

This is new and recent research. You're probably not aware of it or keep up with modern psychology and science.

I have no idea how limited your education is.

All I have is facts I have researched.

I guess to you not knowing about something is the same as it not existing.

I'll leave you to your passive aggressive debate techniques.

[mrxak]

Looking forward to your comments and criticism toward's Google running the Clinton campaign, your candidate of choice.

I said I'm not comfortable with big companies (that would include Google) supporting any party's (that includes the democrats) convention. This has nothing to do with Apple or Google, Republicans or Democrats. I'd also be uncomfortable if Microsoft supported the Libertarian party, or Sun supported the Greens. Let the parties buy their own stuff for their conventions.

And where the heck did you get the idea Clinton was my candidate of choice? That's just hilarious.

 

[samcraig]

Quoting Hamilton? Perhaps you should read this:

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-americas-gun-fanatics-wont-tell-you-2016-06-14

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution doesn’t just say Congress shall not infringe the right to “keep and bear arms.” It specifically says that right exists in order to maintain “a well-regulated militia.” Even the late conservative Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia admitted those words weren’t in there by accident. Oh, and the Constitution doesn’t just say a “militia.” It says a “well-regulated” militia.

What did the Founding Fathers mean by that? We don’t have to guess because they told us. In Federalist No. 29 of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton explained at great length precisely what a “well-regulated militia” was, why the Founding Fathers thought we needed one, and why they wanted to protect it from being disarmed by the federal government.

It sounds like we agree then on a fiscally conservative policy. We should not be world police but we should bring justice to those who do us harm.

I also note you did not give an example of a country that is better off than the US. If this were the truth then wouldn't everyone be moving there instead? Freedom isn't about getting "free" healthcare, education, etc. It is about having the ability to make any choice for yourself, whether it is right or wrong.

"peaceable citizens"... interesting choice of words.

I agree. The Founding Fathers were smart men. I think we can all agree that violent criminals/felons should not have guns, which is why we have a required national background check by the FBI at time of purchase from any gun dealer in the US (gun show or otherwise).

 

[gaximus]

Thats just your opinion. Half the country doesnt agree with you.

You and other business and people in general should respect that fact.

Its way less then half the country that doesn't agree, its just half the country that doesn't want Hilary as president. I can't stand Trump, but I hate Hilary. As a republican I have no idea what i'm going to this election.

Also respecting others' opinions about presidential elections make for non-passionate debates. People need to be passionate about political stuff.

 

[MadeTheSwitch]

As a republican I have no idea what i'm going to this election.

I suggest watching the CNN town hall with Gary Johnson and his running mate tomorrow night June 22nd at 9pm eastern. http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2...-and-vice-presidential-candidates-on-june-22/

Two former Republican governors who left the party because the party left them. Maybe you'll like what you see and hear. I'm going to watch to see what they have to say and learn more about them.

Where on earth did I mention Warren or Clinton? Stop changing the subject. My comment was about Trump. I'm not talking about anyone else.

Why is it that Trump supporters do the exact same thing that flat-earthers do when you confront them? The change the subject and try and distract you with something else.

Trump lies more than any other former candidate from either party. He personally insults those that disagrees with him more than any other former candidate. He has less understanding of any of the issues than any other former candidate. He's threatened to ignore both the constitution and Geneva Convention. His success in business is VASTLY exaggerated and he has FAR less experience than any other candidate.

Plus, he's an absolute joke around the world.

What anyone else does or says is not at issue so stop trying to change the subject.

None of that stuff is true or accurate portrayals. If you saw the History documentary you would know that.

Either way, nothing is stopping that train. Nothing you say or do can change the revolution that is happening. The more you hate on trump the more you give him publicity and when those debates starts and he changes gears and acts all presidential and charms the land, people will remember all the filth people like you spewed out and they will support him more than ever before with a vengeance.

Phase one and two are complete, in a few weeks it will be time for phase three.

There are no brakes on this train!
