    In all fairness who could have predicted that the Leopards Eating Faces party would eat his face?!?

      If trump goes full putin, the leopard will literally be eating his face or maybe he’ll be served some polonium tea. I doubt he’d get thrown out of a window since he probably has so many bodyguards. I don’t understand how these billionaires think they’ll be safe from his wrath.

        We’d know immediately. Trump is incapable of not giving away the game with what he thinks are subtle comments.

          “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”

          I think we’re already there. It’s only a matter of who is the target of the moment.

          You’re right, except he’s also great at saying opposite vague things. They would never know for sure if he would do it. Just like he said he was going to do project 2025 and then took it back. He immediately went into project 2025.

            If he flip flops like that it’s usually because people yelled at him for giving the game away or just because people are mad about it. He’s an open book. Remember he was good friends with Jeff epstein up until the whole raping kids thing, then he suddenly didn’t know him very well.

            Oh to double tap the “subtle comments” thing in reference to Jeff epstein, he mentioned that Jeff liked young women, even younger than trump himself does. We already know he peeped on 15 year olds and made sexual comments about other underage girls, so we can say with certainty he knew epstein was fucking kids.

      I really hope this gives Aliexpress et al some ideas atleast.

      Amazon might be complicit, but I feel like external vendors shouldn’t be so timid…

      Amazon walked back this plan before it even began, I think this was lower level employees leaking the complicitness of their upper management. Bezos never wanted to go against daddy Trump.

      It turns out that leopard teeth are sharp and hurt quite a bit when dug into the face.

        They just bent the knee. The leopard really only likes eating the poors anyways. Only eats the wealthy and powerful after it’s done eating everyone else.

    I want amazon to suffer, but if you are gonna side with Trump here then you are just shooting yourself in the foot. Adding tariff costs to price listings on amazon would do a lot to get people mad at Trump.

    Who was that bald billionaire in the front row at Trumps inauguration? The one that had creepy ass Zuckerberg staring at his wife’s rack?

    It seems that guy got exactly what he paid for.

    wait what happened to the free press 🤨🤔🤔 could it be that such a thing is merely a mirage in liberal “democracies”?

      Democracy, liberal or not, can only exist where there is a free press. That’s what was so concerning about Bezos’ actions with WaPo in the lead up to the election. His and others interference with the press is what has helped us all descend into authoritarianism. Imagine a world without the likes of Rupert Murdoch or massive ownership consolidation of most sources of information.

        While I’m not defending our current situation for news, there is a reason conditions are the way they are. The general unprofitability of running a news network in the modern day, especially when both print and online advertising rates are rock bottom, forces all but the biggest players out.

        Social media, 24/7 cable news, and forum websites are many peoples’ main sources of news, often due to their entry price of 0. As a result, the death of well funded independent journalism was inevitable, and we’re all suffering the consequences of that. Especially those who don’t know how or don’t care to verify their sources.

        At this point I tend to have better luck running a Wikipedia search on the latest events and checking the citations section than checking any major website/app’s feed, especially with most media feeds being curated nowadays. Unless open platforms gain wider adoption, where people all over the world collaborate to find answers to the world’s problems, I doubt things will improve.

        As long as the press is a capitalist enterprise it will be owned and directed by capitalists. This not a malfunction of the system, or an undesirable byproduct, its core to the maintenance of capitalism that its press be owned by capitalists.

          I don’t disagree but I also want to clarify that a press run or funded by the government is the opposite of a free press.

            Right, but it follows that at the moment no western liberal democracy has a mainstream free press since they’re all ran or at least funded by their liberal government or by private capital
