The radical pushback is getting stronger. I love it. Hopefully this is only the beginning, because regular folk will continue to just be observers until they can't help but see momentum and want to participate. Tim Sweeney 2028! (jk)

Radicals are loud and animated because that's the only way they know how to act when people aren't listening to them. It's severely similar to child-like behavior.
 
Wokeism already discredit itself and was already on the way out before Trump was elected. He's a weirdo loose cannon, but if he contributes to "nature healing" faster, everyone wins.

Disclaimer: I'm not American, and I never thought of Trump as anything but the lesser evil out of two poor options, but I'm open to good surprises.
Trump is not a random disaster (at least for those who dislike him) he is a reactive force against insanity that pissed off good half of the US. He would not need to be here if we did not have problems that we seem to be stuck with.

Well ... Apple, Google, Amazon and Meta, along with Twitter, together deplatformed Trump 4 years ago, and on top of that killed the story about Hunter Biden's laptop which undoubtedly would have swayed the election.
Then Big Tech was continuously involved in mass censorship and gaslighting of the population (except for Twitter after Musk acquired it). They are already claiming the Biden administration forced them, and nobody doubts that, but an official investigation will reveal .... nobody knows what, but the Big Tech is apparently horrified.

So Big Tech simply has no other option. They already started to dismantle DEI / "fact checkers" and censorship, which is a very very good thing. But a thorough Twitter files -style investigation should take place in all these companies. We were on the cusp of losing our democracy and devolving into a 1984-ish dystopian nightmare, and must make sure that will not happen again.
 
Jeff Bezos once said, "your brand is what other people say about you when you’re not in the room." Based on this, AI has observed what others say about Donald Trump when he's not present:

Positive Comments:
Some admire his business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit, citing his success in building a real estate empire and creating jobs.
Others appreciate his unconventional approach to politics, seeing him as a disruptor who challenges the status quo and highlights issues that might have been overlooked.
A few praise his commitment to his base and his willingness to take bold actions, even if they are unpopular with others.

Negative Comments:
Many criticize his divisive rhetoric, accusing him of promoting hate speech, xenophobia, and racism.
Others condemn his handling of crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and social unrest, arguing that he has exacerbated problems rather than solving them.
Some question his integrity, citing allegations of dishonesty, corruption, and conflicts of interest.
A significant number express concern about his environmental impact, stance on climate change, and rollback of protective regulations.

Neutral or Mixed Comments:
Some see him as a complex figure, acknowledging both his accomplishments and flaws, recognizing the controversy and polarization of his presidency.
Others view him as a symptom of broader societal issues, such as the erosion of trust in institutions, the rise of populism, or the amplification of extreme voices by social media.

In summary, what people say about Donald Trump when he's not in the room is likely to be highly diverse, reflecting a wide range of opinions, from admiration and appreciation to criticism and concern.

As a politician, he serves as a bridge between the desires of his constituents and his own vision of what they need and are capable of achieving.
 
Couldn’t agree more with him. The way they flip-flop their allegiances is absolutely disgusting. One moment they’re parading around as champions of democracy, and the next they’re cozying up to Trump because it’s convenient for their bottom line. It’s just so weak and pathetic.

Look at Cringe Lord Elon Musk, perfect example of this behavior. He’s out here playing every side, trying to be the edgy "free speech hero" on X, yet he’s bending over backward to appease anyone who could benefit him financially or politically. These tech leaders are nothing more than softies when it comes to standing up for what they claim to believe in.

And honestly, anyone who agrees with Trump needs to get their brains checked. The guy is a walking contradiction, and yet these billionaires are falling over themselves to impress him. It’s a sad state of affairs.

I love how everyone calls these people dummys.

How many millions do you have again?

OT: I agree, Business and Politics shouldn't mix, but....that's how its been since the beginning of time. Calling someone out for it just makes Sweeney look like a little crybaby. He isn't going to change it.
 
How many millions do you have again?

By that logic, if you have lots of money (subjective, of course), you don’t need a moral compass? Sorry, but having a big bank account doesn’t excuse being a spineless sellout. Wealth doesn’t automatically make someone right or beyond criticism. If anything, it makes their actions more impactful and deserving of scrutiny.

Sweeney is standing up for principles, calling out the hypocrisy in plain sight, and that takes more guts than bending over for political favors like the rest of these so-called "leaders." If you’re okay with big tech selling out their supposed ideals just to cozy up to power, maybe it’s time to rethink your standards.

In b4 I didn't get the point.
 
Low information readers getting trolled!

Tim Sweeney had no reason to bring Trump into his battle, for only to get People's attention (bcz anytime you hate on Trump, miscreants come out to feed).


Epic Games problem is legit, but has ZERO to do with Trump or those who visit him (fake news narrative). THE STORY IS: that Tim Cook & Sundar Pichai Companies hold MONOPOLY ovr you people.

And ironically, it will be Trump who crushed these Monopolies and breaks them up. So that Tim Sweeney can have Customers buy his games on those platforms.

Imagine if Microsoft charged Companies to release software for/on Windows..!



Constitution reads equal to all...
 
I will respect what is being said here if he says it going the other way too. Most people have blinders on to their own 'principles' when it benefits their ideas but suddenly become principled when it does not.
 
It's hilarious to me that an argument against protecting monopolies in favor of competition, which can only benefit consumers, is criticized by some of those consumers as left-wing, radical madness or somehow "woke".

That word truly has lost all meaning, hasn't it?
 
I think a lot of what is going on here is that the companies thought they had gotten rid of Trump for good. They gave in to the pressure from the left with the seeming promise of a complete leftward shift politically. What they did not anticipate was Elon Musk and X so quickly having an impact on free speech and America's political direction. What's likely even more alarming to these left-leaning CEOs is the political shift among young men who are shifting to political conservatism and the religious right in droves. This was completely unanticipated. And while young women have went the other direction, lets face it, women accept and adapt to the world they live in more than men, men will fight for the world they want. Young men are the most dangerous enemy to have, always have been.
 
Given the way the world works this is how it is. Kissing as*.

Regardless Trump is still an idi*t. And the Americans who voted him in are too. He doesn't know what a Tariff is. Duh. His really in it for the money. The once was great US.A used to manufacture now they're a shadow of their former self, probably thanks to the last 50 years of presidents that had no idea how to do their job.

A man who is a successful businessman, billionaire, 45th POTUS, 47th POTUS and his 75 million voters are all idi*ts? So what does that make you?

-Ugh, Trump has been maligned but please put away your kneepads with his great man BS.

Dude is the same clueless hairless (?) ape as the rest of us, just making **** up until he dies.

If he manages to con a few more apes before it all comes crashing down, good for him.
I am sorry you have not found anything substantive to believe in. I will pray for you
 
Trump is a great man that has been treated badly. People hate losing power and this man has taken it away from them for which I thank God. If Harris had won we would all be living in LA
Which is about 8 times safer than living in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, or any of the republican strong holds Einstein. All this "Democratic crime" is absolutely lies. The people purveying them govern the most violent dangerous states and cities in the entire nation.

The real problem here is that a large portion of the population lacks the cognitive abilitiy to look anything up.

letmegooglethat.com/?q=The+most+violent+places+in+America

Critical thinkers, they are not. This is what Republican educational policies have wrought, a buinch of drones that couldn't think their way out of a wet paper bag, who think LA is dangerous, when they could just step out their back door to be in the most dangerous places in the country.

Well yeah, but Companies do not vote and can not get rid of people.

What happened was Americans got to peer behind the curtain and see all of the Media's lies and cover-ups that were exposed VIA Twitter/X (Twitter Files !!) and made the mainstream media outlets a laughing joke and without viewers. (Thank You Elon & Zuckerberg!)

Today, woke Journalists & Politicians could no longer lie and spread misinformation quickly because they now get Community Noted and sourced. That is why MSNBC and CNN are up for sale, bcz their fake news narrative has dried up.

Understand, that Joe Biden and his SJW can no longer silence people, who refute their insanity, with facts.



It seems many here (perhaps not living in America) do not know these are all lies the media told you:
- The LA Reservoirs were all full
- Hunter's laptop
- Covington Catholic
- White supremacist at Youngkin rally
- Border Control whips
- Jussie Smollett
- Bubba Wallace
- Kids in cages
- Don't say gay
- Mostly peaceful protests
- Ma’Khia Bryant
- J6 deaths
- Etc.. (Orange man bad~ )

All fake news media headlines^ that were 100% false..!



Fake News no longer works and that angers the Elite who want to pontificate. Wait until all the Elites in the European Union get exposed and their grift is ovr.

Power to the People.

At least you are smart enough to provide a disclaimer. I won't fault you for that lol

Correct^

So here is a visual for you that almost directly correlates to crime. The following is so shocking to non-Americans who do not live here, or travel throughout our beautiful Country but crime directly correlates to Democrats Cities controlled by Democrat Mayors and District Attorneys.
Democratic strongholds like Chicago, had 14 people shot ovr this past weekend...!

I hope this is Cognitive enough: (2024 Election Results)
-Blue are Counties that voted for the crime lords Biden/Harris
-Red are Counties that voted for a secure nation under Trump

His filed business bankruptcy 6x times, and his billionaire status isn't crash hot - https://theconversation.com/a-new-b...n-a-myth-he-is-a-self-made-billionaire-240648

And given what he hasn't done in his 1st term and you voted for him again for a 2nd term that says a lot. Why didn't another Republican step in for a nomination, same can be said for the democrats - Biden should never have ran at all. Remem 75m voted for Harris and 77m voted for Trump in last campaign but it's where the votes where that counted. Well you have 4 years with him. If he f*cks up your country don't be whinging or crying about it if you voted for him.

I don't live in the US. I can say the Libs here in Oz which I didn't vote for often, have royally f*ck up my country and it's potential.

Just remem these things, Tariffs won't fix sh*t, globalisation would take decades to reverse and you can't manufacture everything at home.
