The nearest Steelers bar.
Not long ago, (D)ims told us they were concerned about the influence of money in politics. Funny how that theme went out the window when Bammy raised a billion dollars in 2008. Hmm. Not a peep from most of them since (Gabbard being the exception). Wonder why, wonder why ...

Political contributions by the tech giants last year:

  • Alphabet - Total contribution: $21 million. Top recipients: Joe Biden, Democrat super PACs
  • Microsoft - Total contribution: $17 million. Top recipients: Joe Biden, Democrat super PACs
  • Amazon - Total contribution: $8.9 million. Top recipients: Joe Biden
  • Facebook - Total contribution: $6 million. Top recipients: Joe Biden
  • Apple - Total contribution: $5.7 million. Top recipients: Joe Biden
  • Netflix - Total contribution: $5.42 million. Top recipients: Democrat super PACs
  • Twitter - Total contribution: $689,000. Top recipients: Joe Biden
And of course that spending does not take into account the $350 million Zuckerberg spent on Democrat-heavy districts to "get out the vote" (only the (D)im vote it seems).

Making a lot more sense now why those tech companies are savaging conservatives and why (D)ims no longer worry about the influence of money in politics.
 
They absolutely don't care. Every single thing they have done this year drove wedges into the population. This last deal breaker wedge of pushing another impeachment while big tech censors all dissenters will not end well.

They really are doing permanent damage here. I don't really think they have thought this all through or maybe they have and just don't give a ****.

Dems apparently believe they have to destroy the country to save it.

I thought I might have a twitter account, so that I could cancel it. Alas, I did not.

I have one but only to follow some Steeler, NASCAR driver's and Trump. In 10 years I've sent 40 tweets and amassed 14 followers.
