      Don't forget the $200k gold bar bribe attached to it

      that's maybe $200k if it's covered in gold, but if that's an actual gold bar, then it's worth a couple million or so.

        When you're rich and powerful as fuck but still bend the knee to a felon rapist pedophile.

        All of America's most "powerful" people are little fucking bitches. Little bitches are calling the shots and representing us to the world. Jesus Christ how pathetic is this country going to get?

                Knife up the butt is a good look for Trump.

                  Here's an idea, instead of killing thousands of CEOs why don't we just off 100 Republican Legislators? Let's compare outcomes: fuck all they're replaceable OR a legislative body that actually represents us.

                  You do know that they will buy more? Legislators are a dime a dozen for oligarchs.

                    There's nothing cool about Apple and never was. They're just really good at advertising to people who don't understand technology. You have always been able to get the same grade of technology for way cheaper by purchasing from elsewhere.

                    I've been an IT professional (as a job) for over 2 decades. I have had numerous jobs and worked with a lot of tech people. I have had exactly one fellow employee that liked Apple and that dude was straight out of high school and we hired him on as an intern at first and he knew basically nothing.

                    Apple is good at advertising and robbing people blind. That's it.

                      In other countries this would be a criminal offense. For example in Austria: if the value of the gift is above 50000€ , it's 6 months - 5 years; if over 300k€ it's 1-10 years of prison.

                      It's criminal here too. But laws don't matter anymore because the "party of law and order" decided to elevate a felon rapist pedophile.

                        Dumb people buy Apple products, so they'll probably keep buying them, because they're dumb.

                          You're misunderstanding. I said neoliberal for a reason. I wouldn't call either party liberal, and the issue I have is labeling them as such.

                            His sexuality doesn't mean anything to me either, I was just pointing out the incongruity.

                              Ya but I am pretty sure Google has done a lot to help Trump. Any big tech company wants to be on the good side of Trump.

                              With the degree of information, and capacity to profile individuals at scale and model complex systems, Google likely knew Trump would be in the white house long before anyone else. They fired up the bribery train early on.

                                So if it’s only an 18k carat gift it’s just fine? Because Google are the good guys

                                  It is a gift. The same gift that the Noble gave to their King, so they would not get replaced or lose power. It is a Hail to the King move.

                                    Right okay, the parties fighting for liberty, fairness, and true democracy aren't liberals they're "neoliberal". Whatever that means.

                                      Of course he has his own phone. Let me guess, it randomly charges your account and you can’t cancel the plan?

                                      Nah but it's total shit, IIRC it's mid-tier specs not even flagship. Idk why you'd want to put your name on a mid-tier phone... 🙄

                                          I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.

                                          I'm going from Android to Apple soon, because I'm finally totally over all the present day Android BS. Good luck, have fun.

                                          Word to the wise: don't buy anything less than a flagship. Older flagship if you're wanting to save some money. Samsung is best. I've played around with all kinds of mid-tier Androids & it's a frustrating experience. The phones just don't work well for long. Motorola sucks ass, don't even bother.
