Is the Amazon enemy of the Spanky enemy my friend? Can I despise them both, but root for Amazon? Can’t they both lose?

With Bezos going after Trump in court and Bloomberg going after him in print/TV all we need are a couple more deep pockets to step up. Let the SC see how they like Citizens United when Democrats use it.

Ignorant Moron wants to build a wall, increase military spending, cut student loan assistance, food stamps, and cut Medicaid so he’s counting on beating Bezos

who has more pull, Congress or Bezos?

my bet is that Bezos’ requests will be met with the same middle finger the rest of America just received from the Trump party

donnie dementia and his band of merry co-conspirators strikes a blow to the nation formerly know as the US again (more like continuously but the verbiage doesn’t flow as well)

This isn’t some drywall contractor in central Jersey Trump simply refused to pay. This is a guy who’s going to hire the best lawyers and is even going to pay them. He also has a pretty good case because Trump has difficulty distinguishing between things he shouldn’t do and things he really, really shouldn’t do. This is exactly like one of Toho’s monster-battle films and that makes popcorn particularly appropriate. :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

Yup, depose him. But then also funnel $1B into anti-trump TV advertisements. Be like Mike… :slight_smile:

1 / It’s Aliens vs Predator, all over again.
2 / And they are both bald in reality.
3 / Trump might be deposed some day, but when you rig the AG/DOJ and judicial appointments you can delay it until 2026.

wonder what the reaction will be when the abuser turns his ire on his sycophants, when they are the only ones he’ll be able to abuse to get his “pain” jollies off of as the rest of us don’t provide the required endorphin rush?

the abuser rarely turns on his neighbor like he does his own family, I speak from childhood experience

Why stop at deposing a syphilitic king, when we can defenestrate him too?

“Trump’s ‘personal animus’ towards Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos resulted in the company losing out on a massive cloud computing contract for the Department of Defense.”

And the worst part for taxpayers?

DOD could’ve gotten free, overnight shipping if they’d signed up for Pentagon Prime.

Here’s an article from WaPo from yesterday about the wall in Arizona next to Organ Pipe National Monument. In the old days there was a 4 ft high wire fence separating Mexico from the US, now this. Makes me furious.

“Let’s say you’re at a big cocktail party and someone you don’t know comes up to you while you’re talking to your dad and girlfriend and asks for a meeting. Let’s say this person is the kind of person who actually uses the word ‘minions’ to describe the people who work for you.”

“How do you respond?”
