  • Trump says Tim Cook complained to him about the EU

    jdw said:
    I always find it absolutely hilarious when the leftists indirectly out themselves by making statements about Trump being a "confirmed liar" when all that is based on their watching the news (i.e., America's propaganda outlets). 
    No, "the leftists" — and every other sane human being — come to that conclusion from reading the court transcripts and judgements. 

    We also watch his "speeches" and can read scientific studies, official statistics, and historic documents, that directly contradict things he is saying, on camera. 

    In addition to the situations where HE HIMSELF has admitted to lying or directly contradicts himself — he has publicly admitted to having lost the election in 2020 "by a hair's breadth". So he knows he is LYING when he claims he won in 2020. As does everybody else claiming that. 

    So while there are things he lies about where we have to base that assumption upon watching the news, there are many, many other things where we KNOW he is lying from countless other sources.

  • Trump says Tim Cook complained to him about the EU

    Sure, Gramps. Tim Apple called you; that's nice. 

    And he complained about having to pay back taxes — I'm not surprised you'd call that a "fine", given your convictions. 

    Those terrible people. 

    Come on — are you sure this Tim Apple fellow called you, or did you just get off the phone with Carlson or Sean again, hm? 

    Now drink your lemonade, Sister Margot has some chicken nuggets for you, if you keep your hands to yourself.

  • Trump vs. Harris: How to watch the September 10 Presidential debate online

    After the debate, the question on everyone's minds is

    WHO WILL SAVE US FROM THE STORMING HARDS OF CAT EATERS??!!?!1??



    While on the surface, the pet-eating story seems comically like a b@tsh*t crazy, delusional old-man rant, there is a reason this particular falsehood was trafficked earlier by neo-Nazis. This is a proverbial racist dog-whistle, trying to paint a scary picture about Haitian migrants running rampant through lily-white suburbs. As with many of Trump's weird rants, often when they seem so bizarre, it's because he's not actually talking to you. He's talking to his base, which is primed to pick up on meanings you're not even thinking about. While you hear a crazy rant, they hear the Great White Hope (behind a layer of orange bronzer) who will save them from those people.
    While it did seem crazy and desperate folks tried to use that to cast a villainous hue upon the messenger, it has proven to be TRUE. All over the news.
    You are either a liar or very, very easy to dupe with the dumbest of lies.

  • J.D. Vance shouldn't open his mouth about Apple if he doesn't have a clue

    Clueless idiot. Oh and btw Springfield do you know that your pets are getting eaten?  Fido is being roasted up right now. Smh you can’t even make this stuff up!
    You do realize that body cam footage has been leaked online, right?  
    Yep, there's body cam video; the earliest news sources of the story are from August 2024, and they're absolutely unanimous: the woman in question is an Ohio native, most certainly NOT an immigrant, and the incident did not happen in Springfield.

  • Apple must pay EU $14 billion over Ireland tax arrangement

    Okay I NEVER want to hear an EU citizen complaining about how much Apple products cost.
    Mostly, those complaints are bullshit anyway, since Europeans who complain about the price difference almost invariably forget that U.S. prices are ALWAYS listed without VAT.

    Once you subtract that, it's usually only about 5% or less — which gets us customers two years of mandatory warranty, and the employees a bunch of rights including employer's contribution to mandatory health insurance and social security, four weeks' paid vacation, and legally mandated notice periods before getting let go. Prices usually include a bit of buffer for exchange rate fluctuation, as well. 

    AW10: US$399 = 362€ at today's rate. 
    362€ + 19% VAT (in Germany) = 431€. 

    List price in Germany: 449€  ~4% more. 

    We're doing fine.
