Google adapts to conservative executive branch.

No, that's not how they f*cked up. They 100% backed one candidate and now risk having no influence with the other candidate. In a banana republic you'd see people backing the "wrong" candidate in jail, their business all of a sudden getting shut down over some trumped up (ha!) charges or some BS like that. Nobody's talking about that kind of stuff. The actual reality that google and facebook are afraid of is that they will not be part of the group of big players at the proverbial table with influence over future policy direction. Nothing more, nothing less.

Nobody except for the president-elect, that is. lol.

"I have respect for Jeff Bezos, but he bought The Washington Post to have political influence, and I gotta tell you, we have a different country than we used to have," Trump said during a speech in Texas on Friday (see clip below). "He wants political influence so that Amazon will benefit from it. That's not right. And believe me, if I become president, oh, do they have problems. They're going to have such problems."

I'm not concern trolling, I'm posting articles that pertain to P&N, fuck off.

You're busy spinning shit to fit your narrative, Silicon Valley going to Trump Tower is news, and Google's situation is interesting as hell, and an example of why corporations are careful to contribute equally to the candidates.

Fuck you for trying to reframe the message.

Of course you're concern trolling, that's basically what you've been doing nonstop since you started posting here. It's not like you've done a very good job of concealing that.

You've now made two demonstrably false claims about an article that you've repeatedly whined about people not reading. The most likely answer is that you never bothered to read it yourself, making you a hypocrite. Contributions by Google's employees do not equal contributions by Google. This is basic, basic stuff.

So because people are not going to jail for not showing appropriate support, it's okay for political leaders to commit other arbitrary acts in retribution, provided it's not sending people to jail?

So much for living in a liberal western democracy.

"freedom of men under government is, to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power erected in it; a liberty to follow my own will in all things, where the rule prescribes not; and not to be subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, arbitrary will of another man" ~John Locke

Conservatives have been swearing on their mothers' graves for decades that campaign contributions have no effect on how they govern so why would Google need to worry about a Trump administration? Contributions simply don't matter as conservatives are above such things.

And for the most part they are full of shit, but this guy doesn't look like he needs to kiss anyone's hand for contributions.

And he is wiling to listen to opposing views so we need to wait and see.

He didn't threaten anything, there's nothing wrong with his statements.

"He wants political influence so that Amazon will benefit from it. That's not right. And believe me, if I become president, oh, do they have problems. They're going to have such problems."

Nothing wrong with that, he's saying he's not going to allow someone to buy a part of the press to gain political influence to benefit his business. And?

So because people are not going to jail for not showing appropriate support, it's okay for political leaders to commit other arbitrary acts in retribution, provided it's not sending people to jail?

Who said anything about arbitrary acts in retribution? Are you talking to the voices in your head again?

Maybe Trump doesn't need the money but Kazukian seems convinced that Google must face retribution for the folly of not contributing sufficiently.

Trump met with Al Gore before his transition team sent their ridiculous demand letter to DOE so we'll just have to wait and see how Trump deals with information he doesn't like to hear.

It's interesting to watch you spin endless conspiracy theories about liberals based on no evidence but then suddenly become mysteriously blind when it comes to explicit threats from conservatives. Gee, I wonder why.

I'm a pragmatist, they screwed up, most corporations are careful to donate to both sides in political races, so they don't have to deal with this kind of problem. And you have to admit, 23K VS 1.6 million is a huge disparity, in addition to the other things Google did.

He didn't threaten anything, there's nothing wrong with his statements.

Ummm since when is "And believe me, if I become president, oh, do they have problems. They're going to have such problems" not threatening.

It's scary you support those kinds of threats

They crossed the line, and common sense, there are consequences. You should have been in Waxahachie, TX when Obama shut down the supercollider project. Payback for not supporting Obama.

What line did Jeff Bezos cross? Because according to Trump, he is guilty for being a wealthy man who bought a newspaper. Something every super wealthy American has the rights to do

According to this article the project was canned in the early 90's, by Congress

"Large in size and scope, the project dissolved with surprising quickness. By the summer of 1993, after seventeen shafts had been sunk and fourteen miles of the tunnel bore out of the pliable Austin Chalk, Congress decided to stop funding the project, whose projected cost now exceeded $10 billion. "

lol, this idiot keeps getting better. That Obama is so devious that he got Congress to shut down the supercollider in 1993 as payback for not supporting him 25 years in the future.

Twenty years ago, on October 21, 1993, Congress officially killed the project

Do you lefties all go to some sort of joint "leave out the important context" training course? He explained that he felt Bezos was trying to gain political power by buying a newspaper, then turn that political power into benefit for his business. He then says "they are going to have such problems" -- because he won't allow them to gain political influence through media purchases, he exposes the lefty media for what it is. Nothing at all wrong with that, and there's no threat.

... except for the part where there was no explicit (or even implicit) threat.

No, we just don't go to a 'desperate attempt at rationalization' course like you've apparently been to. It's pretty telling that you have to invent a whole story in order to find a way to argue that his explicit threat was somehow not a threat.

 

[MrSquished]

Whoops, Clinton.

You have proof Clinton maliciously shut down the Super collider? And for what reason exactly. It wasn't like Texas was going to vote Democrat.

By all means give us some evidence
