All in plain sight. Brass and shameful. Why has this been normalize?

Trump's ego.

Iāll bet those boots taste disgusting.
Just like $100 dollar bills, if you're lucky, you might even get a little cocaine with it.

Not sure if you know this but I find it fun to know so Iām going to share.
In English when deciding whether to use a or an you should look at the start of the following word and if it starts with a vowel sound then use an else use a.
Examples:
- An apple
- An hour (note doesnāt start with a vowel but sounds like a vowel)
- A goat
- A criminal offence
aaah i know this and normally don't make this mistake, thank you very much tho, i will fix it right away š«”

āThe move comes after Trump threatened to place a 25% tariff on Appleās iPhones made overseas and in the face of a potential 100% tariff on semiconductors.ā
Pussies

āAlphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fundā
Will you stop using Google products, including Android and YouTube or are you just a hypocrite?
Oh yes, let me protest this thing that just happened by throwing my Android-OS phone that I bought years ago away. That'll show 'em.
You're just as disingenuous and stupid as the morons on the right who smashed their Keurigs.
FYI, my next phone will probably be a Linux phone anyway and I hardly use YouTube at all these days, and when I do it's with AdBlockers on, and I never gave a cent to them for premium, so I cost them money to use their platform if anything. If PeerTube or some other non-Google video hosting service could go mainstream, I'd use that in a heartbeat. I've de-Googled my life as much as I could reasonably be expected to, and this was before their CEO kissed the ring. So fuck off with your judgemental attitude.

No, I mean brass: "figurative. Taken as a type of insensibility to shame: hence, Effrontery, impudence, unblushingness." (DEFINED)
Brash would not have been appropriate (defined as "self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way"). Tim was not rude, noisy or overbearing, but he was absolutely shameless!

Didnāt you watch the video? They turned a gold bar into a āstand.ā Truly revolutionary, Tim apple.
Wait for the price tag on the upcoming golden monitor stand.

The same loophole exists almost anywhere: "its a gift to white house or trumps library"
A gold bar gifted to an institution would still count as corruption in most sane jurisdictions. Sure those loopholes exist, but we tend to disguise them as investments or charity.

Note, this can differ by region. For example, "an historic ..." is common in the UK, whereas it would be "a historic ..." in the US due to accent differences.

Tim Apple is gay... I'm not aware of any reports of Epstein trafficking boys, but it would not be at all surprising.
To be completely honest, I had forgotten. His sexuality really makes no difference to me. It's just sad to see so many folks sucking up to Trump.
And no I wouldn't be surprised, while true Epstein didn't traffick boys, I would be surprised if he didn't have some connections to that.
Again nothing on Tim's preference for male or female or whatever he likes...but god it seems rich folks can't help but be into horrible things. -

literal fucking bribery

Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. Itās the sad truth.
But Apple cares about children. They were the first to run CSAM scans on their cloud storage and devices.

Cook speaks Trump. Fluently.
I bet Apple has a Trump Mitigation Team
-
Yes this is a bribe. Period.
Is it a bribe or ransom? Trump is extracting favors by threat.
-
I had to look it up: 24 karat is the purest form of gold. So yeah it's a gold bar 100% lmfao
Cook isn't handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it's 24 karat gold plated zinc.

On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong
Uhhhh... What. My experience has been the literal opposite. People here hate Google
And still rock an Android phone proudly

I don't use apple for the same reason I don't use fisher price as an adult. You are free to use your technology made for babies that's beside the point. The point is that the article in discussion is about Tim Cook and Apple providing a recent bribe to Trump.
Your comment is providing no value. You are attempting whataboutism and really shows the type of person you are more than anything.
To be clear, if googl was caught bribing and someone said "buh buh buh Apple!" Id be saying the same thing. Stop sucking dick like they owe you something to take a side.
When Google bribes Trump with a 24k gold gift let's discuss Google then ok?
So if itās only an 18k carat gift itās just fine? Because Google are the good guys
