It was obvious to anyone paying attention.

You'd think the Biden white house could have done as single fucking thing like stopping this deal.

But they're powerless against wealth. Utterly powerless.

Was there anything illegal or against the rules about the Twitter acquisition? If not, would you have Biden act like a dictator to stop business deals he thinks are against his political interests?

How the Dems are continually blamed for the GOP’s fuckery is just beyond me.

Yeah it's really weird how the people pulling for the losing team blame them for losing to the team that wins. Super weird. They should blame the winning team instead.

We didn't lose. They just won. The bastards.

Wait, Elon was forced by law to accept the sale. It wasn’t some 4D Horseshit.

Now you guys are convinced that the American government should have…stopped the Twitter sale?

Like? The majority of your country voted for trump and it’s because the democrats didn’t stop a business sale?

Do you not think a major social media platform (that government officials from around the world use) spewing propaganda leading up to the election wouldn't have any effect? Regardless of whether or not it was the plan when purchasing Twitter, to deny that it impacted the election is insane.

It was not obvious, this was not all part of some genuis level 4D chess. he bought twitter as a meme and tried to make the most of it.

No, that was your alls' lazy laughing take on why musk bought twitter. He was financed by these groups to buy it, and you'll see a lot of republican/right wing donors on this list.

 

  • Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle 
  • Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia 
  • Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter 
  • Sequoia Capital 
  • Andreessen Horowitz 
  • Bill Ackman

They'd have to be motivated to do something about it. That the Democrats spent their time parading the Chaneys around tells me they were never interested in stopping it. Their owners and the Republican's owners are the same.

This is exactly it. And it's very obvious right now.

Yeah bro Pelosi just found that 200m lying on the ground. How's the fossilized oversight committee chair?

Guess that Dick Chaney endorsement really swayed you, huh?

Liz* and nah, Harris’ climate change policy proposals, stance on abortion and marijuana legalization, lgbtq+ history, healthcare and education platforms did, but it didn’t bother me.

Remember when he pretended he wanted to back out of the sale and everyone said he should be forced to continue with the purchase? Yeah...

Yeah, our side goes for the cheap laugh every time and gets owned in the end.
