      For sure. Hopefully someone is monitoring the family’s various cryptocurrencies for large purchases

        It’s actually pretty depressing how little money it takes to buy a senator. We’re talking hundreds to single digit thousands of dollars. Not really going to set that off, sadly.

    Dog and pony show that concludes with a backroom deal and a slap on the wrist, as always.

      They’ll roll out the Zuckbot for some public speaking so everyone can focus on how weird he is instead of anything else.

      Yup. Thats what I think this is all about. They didn’t pay orange man enough money up front.

      Or he just wants more.

    Nice of them to pretend like they aren’t gonna do a 180 on the whole Biden anti trust stuff.

    They could just shut down Meta and it would take a week for everyone to adjust.

    I do have to say that it makes me chuckle, a lot, to see these billionaires paying trump millions and millions to get his blessings and favors, and then he turns around and fucks each of them in the ass.

    Part by incompetency and stupidity, but also because he knows his position now, he can ask more, and more, and more, and he never had to deliver because what are they going to do?
