    hell you pull amazon in but meanwhile Amazon still has 1/4 of the retail sales Wallmart does (once you break out their server business)
    How the hell are they a monopoly?

    Even their server business has several competitors including a 1.4 trillion dollar microsoft (who for some reason was not included, how weird owning what 97% of the OS and other software markets).

    Guess MS was smart not to buy a newspaper....
    I was listening on NPR at work. I found the whole thing to be hysterically funny. All 4 CEOs sounded pretty amused.

    One rep used his 5 minutes to ask Sundar Pichai why his campaign emails were landing in a spam folder and how to fix his father’s email account

    Zuckerberg had to tell one person that it was Don Jr.’s Twitter account, not FB account, that was put in timeout because he shared fake coronavirus info.

    Holly hell. By the time congress caught up with the tech industry, the big 5, or 6, would have taken over the world.

    Agreed. If Trump steals another election, the U.S. will die as the country it is today. RBG will be replaced with a 35 year old neo-con, and that will lock the ultra-conservative vote of SCOTUS as 5-4 (and that's assuming Roberts continues to boggle the mind and vote "liberal"). SCOTUS will also replace Thomas and Alito with younger versions of themselves, and the remaining ailing Justices might lose one more - making it 6-3/7-2. People who don't fully understand American politics don't realize how important SCOTUS can be to our system of justice. And with Trump putting in a possible 6 nominees - we would be royally fucked.

    And that's just one Branch.

    The Executive would be unleashed, with Trump's horror validated by the election - four more years of a Dear Leader.

    Congress would be our only hope - the House probably won't flip, so that will keep us from the road to Gilead.... Until Ivanka Trump is elected in 2024 at the first female President of the United States.

    And then Orwell's dream will be realized.

    I mean if Lockout can say that some doctors recommend hydroxychloroquine, then I have more solid evidence here this is likely from suffering a stroke.

    But Hillary had swollen ankles at a debate/press conference in 2016 and Biden has an occasional spoken gaffe so obviously they were/are unfit for the presidency. Trump is the healthiest alpha male mega Chad to ever exist and if it did come out that he is sick then it just makes him an even more ultra alpha male quad mega Chad that he could president while sick.

    P.S. That it isn't obvious that /s follows my statement just further shows the hellscape that is this country.

    I mean, this is every hearing I've ever seen, to be fair. A screaming match of unruly children. This seems to be just par for the course.

    You're a lot more optimistic than I am. If Trump "wins" (he can't win an actual election but the Nazi party will cheat as much as possible, including sending armed mercenaries to polls), there will not be another election in the US. There might be a Russian-style "election". But at that point the US will be a dictatorship. The House not flipping wouldn't matter - their power to do anything will be removed, and they will be figureheads like the imperial senate in Star Wars, and they will be disbanded just like Palpatine did.

    Hydroxychloroquine isn't going anywhere near me unless I somehow manage to get malaria (yes that is HIGHLY unlikely). Even if a doctor told me to take it I wouldn't. (I wouldn't trust any "doctor" that made that recommendation.) That stuff is nasty and has a lot of horrible side effects. It just so happens, that the side effects aren't worse than malaria. They are worse than Covid though, so even if it DID do anything (which it doesn't), you're still better off with Covid.

    Combined with him not being able to raise his arm, this has every symptom of a stroke.

    Now, I wonder if it's: Stress, a poor diet and age
    Or: he's one of the people who Coronavirus didn't affect his lungs, but created a bunch of blood clots instead.

    We also had 2 people on this forum claim they had covid last year. With one that questions the shape of the earth, going as far as claiming starvation was the cure for his covid... in October...

    Just a reminder, Trump ignores the virus, to save the economy.

    Edit: Not the way people expected, but Trump presiding over the largest contraction of US economy, was predicted. I though it would be due to his refinancing, thus defaulting on US debt, idea...

    Important to point out, that all over seas military votes by mail. Including in countries where we have governments that don’t like us. Yet, that is not the way they target our elections.

    Edit: Holly shit... he posted that immediately after GDP came in... how fucking obvious can you get. Seeing a historic drop in GDP, causes Trump to demand delaying the election... I think he is less confident about his chances, than I am... maybe he realized that shooting someone on 5th ave, might be seen as not so bad... but, a historic GDP drop? People might care about that?

    Yup. It's definitely been the #1 objective with him. It is downright despicable because his response to the pandemic has only helped to push the narrative that we should delay the election. He's purposely allowing lives to be lost or "sacrificed" just to fulfill before his dream of remaining in power. If that's not evil, I don't know what is.

    Axious: “Worst contraction in history” just from the headline... still popping up alerts from all news sources.
    Time stamp on the Trump tweet you posted, that demands elections are moved and questioned voting validity: 5:46 AM PST...

    It took Trump 10 min longer to react to the news, than it took me... while his was pretty much complaining that he will lose... putting priorities in perspective...

    This has been the only political avatar I have ever used, for this very reason. I’m in Washington state, been voting by mail my whole voting life.

    *shrug* Everyone knew he was going to say this at some point. Fortunately he doesn't have the power to delay the election, though that won't stop him from using it as a new campaign slogan for months.

    I’m pretty sure Biden or at least Lincoln project, will use it as well.
