Washington Post - Jeff Bezos Cancels Endorsement
 
“Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.” Marty Baron

Time to spend my time and money elsewhere. signed a former paperboy who delivered the Post in Takoma Park back in 1970. :p

I am scratching my head.

After putting up such a front Jeff now cave.

Probably he is put off by how shallow Kamala is and regards Trump as pure noise.

One is amused and at the same time perplexed...how did the two rise to the top of these powerful United States? WTF.

Bezos was intimidated by Trump fucking with AWS's 2019 cloud-computing contract with the Pentagon over negative coverage in the Post. This is what fascism looks like.

Harris is a relatively serious candidate. She was a District Attorney, Attorney General, US Senator and Vice President.

Trump, OTOH, is a proven sexual predator, fraudster, 34x (and counting) felon, Putin-hugging fascist and wannabe dictator.

As a Putin fanboy, I guess I'm not surprised that you can't tell the difference.

I observe Obama trying very hard to convince black people, especially black male.

LOL Kamala is always giggling; she exhibits a lack of depth.
BTW her Attorney experience is her achilles heel.

The powers that be have already crippled and wrapped up Trump.

Still begs the question: How did these two reach so far?

What a load of rancid borscht. :rolleyes: When are you going to defend Kursk?

The Kursk is bait. Donbas is where the goodies are...Lindsay Graham knows that.

But seriously, how did these two reached the top of the pole?

This.

The oligarchs know they need to keep their bread buttered.

Trump: Reality television, fear mongering, conspiracy theorizing, white supremacism, and entitled white males wanting "social revenge" for ill-perceived wrongs. It gives you a glimpse of the dark side of the country.

Harris: I am sorry you can't dig a biracial accomplished woman. If you can't figure out the difference between the candidates...then thanks for the glimpse inside.

Kamala's depth is the Marianas Trench compared to the Cheeto Benito's. He'd drown in a puddle.

Kamala got this far because Biden flamed out with too little time for the Democrats to do anything but nominate her. Her resume compares quite favorably to anyone who has ever run for President though. Your opposition to her because of the tone of her laugh seems pretty damned shallow. At least she has a sense of humor and the ability to laugh. Trump never laughs.

Trump got where he is because the GOP (you included, it appears) likes authoritarianism. The appeal of authoritarianism is the most prevalent trait among Trump supporters and Trump makes no bones about his desire to be an authoritarian leader.

Personally, I prefer democracy. As Churchill said, democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others.

Stalin's sacred bloodsoaked Kursk is bait? No wonder you emigrated.:rolleyes:

I answered it quite clearly. However, you still have not explained your love for the murderous dictator and war criminal Putin who is the sworn enemy of liberal democracy and an ally of China, Iran and North Korea.

It is something I have asked you about for years (and redirecting the obscene profits of the oligarchs into his own pockets (and those of his siloviki)) for the past quarter century is not an accomplishment. It is just a continuation of the rampant corruption and theft of state resources, albeit with different beneficiaries.

Michelle Obama says she's a "little angry" at the hesitation to vote for Harris.

https://www.npr.org/2024/10/26/nx-s1...trump-abortion

Hmmm...a very late assessment. I noted the issue many months ago.

BTW where is Representative Jim Clyburn? I know he is a little older than I am but still...
He was the political figure who carried Biden over the hump.

You did not. You omitted the huge gender factor in the selection process for Biden's running mate.

The planned Trump tariffs will be horrible for Amazon. He probably hopes they can be mitigated--as if this act won't just tell Trump he has nothing to worry about from Bezos, he can do what he wants.

We are under no obligation to let you set the agenda here. Go ask a historian if you want to know about history. Your poor opinion of Harris is just opinion, not fact. Harris is a real person who relates well to real people and has decent values. In this contest that makes it human being vs psychopath. If your concern at this juncture is to tear down the human being, you are siding with the psychopath.

Your comment is shallow.

You sound surprised that he's holding the Reich-wing sentiments on Harris. At least he's reframed from calling her a DEI hire.

Pulled the pin today and immediately got an offer to subscribe for half my going rate. Fucking gutless cowards. Kiss my ample white ass, Jeff Bezos.
