Or could you consider that maybe, maybe, there's jhst nothing to see here. Is it that people want actual justice, or at very least accountability? Or is it that people just need a negative ball cast against Trump? Would all of people's worst theories about Trump somehow be a victory to said people? Would finding out that Trump was involved somehow make people happy? I sincerely wonder this.

Spit shine the trailer hitch? Is that an oral sex reference? Directed personally at another poster? Why are you allowed to post this way?

Fubah, Apple had a 3rd quarter net profit of 24 billion. They are at 94 billion net for the fiscal year. The tariff is not the problem. Companies raking in record profits on chinese slave labor is the problem.

 Personal attacks and name calling are unnecessary and against the rules. If you can't debate in good faith, why are you even here. And i'm quite sure you don't know the definition of "dotard" because you use the term incorrectly.

On the topic, Apple is one of the most profitable companies in the world. We're talking 100 billion net profit anually. AppleTV and iTunes not withstanding, those profits are bolstered by their primary business, device sales. iphones have some of the highest profitvmargins in the device space. Estimates as high as 60% on some models. And I would argue margins are even higher, given how R&D can falsely inflate production costs.

Apple can afford to eat tariffs abd remain insanely profitable. They won't because they are a greedy company beholden to shareholders like BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, and the Saudis. They achieve insane profit margins by using what amounts to Chinese slave labor but the tariffs are the problem?

What happened to the Democratic party I grew up with? I'm from Oakland, right next to Berkeley. The liberals I grew up around were against these corporate fukks, as GG says. They were against warhawks too. Those days seem to be gone with the wind and Tuesday.

Which victims and witnesses were harassed? And how do you/we know anything of what Epstein knew? Why create this narratives outvof thin air? The woman in question was approached by Maxwell because she was reading a book on massage therapy. Why promote a false narrative that Mar a Lago was some recruiting/grooming ground?

Which family are we talking about? The family so horrible, she had to run away from home and face abuse? The family that had nothing to do with her in life but now wants to cash in on her in death?

I will say it again, in life, Virginia named implacated many rich and powerful people, but she never mentioned Donald Trump.

They're all crazy. Psycho is a short hop. Not a leap. Not a jump. A hop. And definitely do our part. We're lucky more don't snap.

Makes no sense whatsoever. My wife mentioned the minimum security thing to me a little bit ago today. As I have said before, politicians are so corrupt, I would be shocked if she was in jail in the first place, rather than secretly living in Israel. Personally, I think she deserves the death penalty so this move doesn't sit well with me.

Hey, summertime is always gonna exist as long as those kids are alive. We come from an equatorial people. They'll ne alright.

Back to the statue.

@Sacramoni

 Is this thing of an actual historical person of just an artist's interpretation like the last one? That thing was so bleeping dumb.

Before her untimely death, the woman implicated many famous and powerful men. Not once did she mention Trump. I would bet Trump wouldn't have even known of her. Someone in upper management would've had to fill him in.

She's like a 4 that you would still screw, if that makes sense?

Couldn't happen to a better company. Apple has become like Lockheed and Boeing. They tell us the cost of F-22 or F-35 and we just say "OK". Iphones cost more than $1,000 in spite of being made in China? Why?

@UNIMAN

 But apparently they all just want to come to build houses or pick strawberries.

This should be in the promotions forum.

Does the DNC even have 300K left after pocket... spending over a billion on... stuff, I guess?

And if Fredo is DJTJ, he would actually be Sonny. Eric would be Fredo. Baron is Michael.

@wallstreetcappers

 If you objectively looked at how many conflicts you yourself instigate, you would probably have an existential crisis. Please spare me the lectures on avoidance.

This statement is so comical, it may as well be a vaudeville act  i'll keep "observing how others act and interact, and how others avoid confrontation."

One thing is obvious. One group can create threads saying that every member of a political side is pedophiles, including members of this site. Others can them chime in, stating that posters on this site are pedophiles, and that is "avoiding conflict" but me saying "Democrats is bad? Just so we're clear of your version on how things go around here. You followed unpluckedgems into a Penalty Box thread, which mods never do, but you, as a mod, have the audacity to speak on "my side" "avoiding conflict"? Your narcissism knows no bounds.

@wallstreetcappers

 Again, for the umpteenth time, who is "my group"? I dont fit into any of your boxes, and I have asked yoi multiple times to not refer to me in that way, or at very least, identity the group. Moderators don't act this way. Do you see any other mods carrying on like this?

@wallstreetcappers

 You won't gaslight me. Your bias in moderation is pretty well documented. You can't even lean on the "i'm not the only moderator" narrative because you literally threaten posters on almost daily basis.  We all know it's you. You make up rules, which are no where mentioned in the terms of this site, and then you aggressively target the posters who fall on one side politically. You preach about rules but routinely ignore infractions from one political side. You stalk and harass posters, even they ask you please stop. You instigate rather than moderating. You are an absolute menace.
