You have one ass and pretend it’s a mouth

Well thanks for at least providing an honest answer since the other guy couldn’t answer a direct question to save his life.

You don’t get to be a condescending asshole and then whine over stuff like this; incredibly soft posting

So to take [Jeb] Bush down, Clinton’s team drew up a plan to pump Trump up. Shortly after her kickoff, top aides organized a strategy call, whose agenda included a memo to the Democratic National Committee: “This memo is intended to outline the strategy and goals a potential Hillary Clinton presidential campaign would have regarding the 2016 Republican presidential field,” it read.

“The variety of candidates is a positive here, and many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right. In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more ‘Pied Piper’ candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party,” read the memo.

“Pied Piper candidates include, but aren’t limited to:

• Ted Cruz
• Donald Trump
• Ben Carson

We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to [take] them seriously."

…

An agenda item for top aides’ message planning meeting read, “How do we prevent Bush from bettering himself/how do we maximize Trump and others?"

You want to throw someone in jail without a trial or having their day in court?

Lmao hell yes I do, this happens for literally every serious criminal case (and a bunch of not-so-serious ones, too). If you actually took the idea that Trump is a fascist seriously, you’d be asking why shouldn’t he simply have been shot.

Everybody knows he’s guilty, however if you don’t get everything just right then he gets away on a technicality.

If everybody knows a fascist is a fascist and your only solution is to follow the rules real hard and hope, you are a danger to the country and should be nowhere near the levers of power.

one candidate has already attempted to overthrow democracy

If Democrats actually thought this, Trump (at minimum) would have been in federal prison on Biden’s first day in office.

They either don’t believe he’s a fascist or are utterly incapable of dealing with fascists.

Yeah, because short of escalating to WWIII the war was lost from the jump. Is being right about that for two years a bad thing? Is losing two years and a ton of casualties later worth anything?

I believe they did an IPO

massive fragile ego, frankly horrible, acting shitty, basic fucking table stakes

you come across as hostile

Go back to reddit

If you can take a moment to move your massive, fragile ego out of the way

Lmao do you think of yourself as a professional?

Or they pad it with a ton of absolute garbage

“Reality is stranger than what TV advertisers can imagine” is a lot less interesting than “reality is stranger than fiction”

Lmao

for leaving reddit pedantry behind.

Lmao using 2010 internet sarcasm doesn’t mean you have a point

We know there’s no benefit to him here because a court forced him to go through with the purchase after he tried to back out. He did not want this mess.

Twitter doesn’t generate profits:

Twitter has been operating at a massive loss for years, failing to book an annual profit since 2019 (Mauer, 2022). For eight out of the last ten years, the company has posted a loss.

If anyone wants to nitpick over the 2/10 years when they reported profitability, consider the real value of getting in the black twice in company history in an environment where you’re gearing up for a an IPO. The long-term trend is clearly that this is not a viable business model.
