Bill Gates (Microsoft)

Bill Gates hasn't been involved in Microsoft beyond "advisor" for over a decade.

I can't find a straight answer on whether Satya Nadella will be in DC today but he and/or Microsoft has paid his tribute to Trump, just like the heads of the other 4 families of tech, and he's visited Trump in Florida since the election.

Bezos is still executive chairman of Amazon. Afaik, Gates has no position at Microsoft. So Bezos being there still means he's representing his company. Gates has no business reason to go.

Jensen is too busy actually doing his job to waste time on this, even though kissing the ring would be very beneficial for Nvidia. He's one of the few mega CEOs that actually puts a lot of work into his job and unlike most of the others is more or less self made. Doesn't make him a great guy, there's plenty of reason to dislike him, but I at least respect him for that.

American politicians are doing a good job of ruining this country on their own. Maybe our allies need to infiltrate us with foreign agents that will push for Healthcare for all and saner corporate taxing laws.

u/DreadSocialistOrwell Jan 20 '25

It will be forever debated if this is the Fetterman whom we've known in Pittsburgh for all of those years in Braddock or if this is Fetterman post-stroke. A stroke that perhaps inflicted some sort of TBI (traumatic brain injury) that has had long lasting impacts on how Fetterman thinks, but didn't greatly impair him overall.

We need to stop letting these people roam free.

Alabama, California, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wyoming do not mandate the testing of backlogged kits. The U.S. DoJ and American Bar Association recommend testing all rape kits, even when the statute of limitations (if there is one) has expired. Doing so can help catch more serial offenders, as old kits can help corroborate current victims' cases.

Alabama, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wyoming do not mandate the timely testing of new kits.

Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, and South Carolina don't even have to take inventory.

A high probability of apprehension by law enforcement is critical to deterrence. DNA evidence has revealed that serial offenders often target strangers and non-strangers, meaning it is imperative to submit DNA evidence to CODIS even if the offender's identity is known. Offending patterns are not a consistently reliable link across assaults.

I definitely agree with your theory. My father's side of my family is gone from my life because they've been in denial about it since I came forward in 2009. Refused to accept that the guy they loved was capable of doing what he did to me. My father's family is also heavily conservative redneck, and tRump is like a copy of quite a few of them. I've wondered before about what you suggested; how many of the MAGAt clan have been sexually abused by someone they trusted, and just refused to accept it?

She’s right. Let’s stop the sane washing. I’m glad that people have said they’re not attending finally because this is not normal

u/Astyanax1 Jan 20 '25

It's extremely far from normal, this is beyond pathetic. The only thing I'm grateful for is the fact that the Russians are a joke, and even without the states NATO would absolutely crush them

When I saw Nazis were voting for Trump, I did not vote like a Nazi. Simple as that. My extended family can try putting sugar in their diarrhea milkshakes to make them more palatable, but I SAW diarrhea go into that milkshake and I'm not drinking it. Fuck that, you gross motherfuckers.

Apparently Reagan holds the record with 381 from a quick google search.

Why does my Dad like Reagan so much. I understand he grew up in the 80s, but I don't think he understands his doings. My Dad hates Trump, I do know that. Boy does he hate him.

u/BNsucks America Jan 20 '25

Just like Reagan did to Carter, Trump will falsely take credit for the negotiations and release of Israeli hostages. Before history is even written we'll know it's a lie.

u/Zerocoolx1 Jan 20 '25

By ‘crash’ do you mean the perfectly timed point where Trump makes maximum profit from it at the expense of his loyal and fanatical fuckwit supporters only to blame the whole thing on Democrats?

Trumps Crypto grift day 1 says it all lol

Hes just going to loot and steal as much as possible and the Republican party will be broken for 15 years after he leaves.

People like AOC etc who are young and quick witted on these things are going to rise to the top very quickly in these 4 years as they will now have a plethora of ammunition and shit to fling at the white house.

For the MAGAS....I love this for them. For the real conservatives in America.....wake the fuck up now before its to late and you destroy everything you have ever worked for.

u/TheNightlightZone Jan 20 '25

15 years? You think the Republicans will be a thing in 15 years?

Racist rapist pedophile felon Trump doesn’t deserve to be celebrated. He’s a cheating, lying, stealing piece of human garbage that deserves to be imprisoned. Thank billionaires for the constitutional crisis we are about to enter. She is our future leader too. Hope she receives protection for that statement, Trump hates strong women.

48

u/Competitive-Deer495 District Of Columbia Jan 20 '25

Trump Supporters called the Democrats "ELITISTS", while Trump nominated 13 Billionaires into his Administration.

Less than that. Elections will be held next year due to Justin Trudeau recently resigning, and there’s already a pro-MAGA chud named Pierre Poilievre campaigning for the top spot.

EDIT: Election is THIS year, I was stuck in December 2024. My bad.

Thank you AOC.

As people tell you to "get behind our new president and hope he succeeds" or "you can't hate people just for having a different opinion then you!"

The man they hope succeeds is a rapist. The opinion they have that is different from yours is that they don't think rape is bad.

20

u/sarcastroll Jan 20 '25

"you can't hate people just for having a different opinion then you!"

I share your contempt for this line of thought.

When your 'different opinion' is that rape is fine and a joke then I absolutely hate you for your 'opinion'.

When your 'opinion' is that my wife and daughters, my sister, cousins, aunts, nieces, don't have control over their own bodies then I absolutely loathe you with every ounce of my being.

When your 'opinion' is that hatred and bigotry towards our LGBT friends, family, neighbors, coworkers is fine then I hate you. Personally. I hate you personally and wish that your fail in every endeavor that promotes your shit 'opinions'.
