They owe it their shareholders. Management exists to ensure shareholders get maximum returns.
Everyone can feel that X is certainly the most influential social media right now.
Snowflakes who like to post wild claims no longer enjoy free rides
They really thought their departure would pull X down. They're all clowns grin

Democrat yelling about unqualified Trump appointees. Peep into Bidens nominees.

Elizabeth MacDonald
@LizMacDonaldFOX
As the media and Democrats attack Trump’s nominees—RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Gaetz etc—let’s take a look at how unqualified Biden’s nominees are for their jobs -

Xavier Becerra, HHS - not a doctor, he’s a lawyer, ex-attorney general of California

Jared Bernstein, Chair of Council of Economic Advisors - not an economist, Bachelor’s degree in music, masters in sociology

Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary - no transportation background, Mayor of Indiana, “pothole Pete”

Mayorkas, DHS Secretary - no security background, lawyer, Asst U.S. attorney, Obama transition team

Jennifer Granholm, Energy Secy - no energy background, Michigan Governor

Gina Raimondo, Commerce Secretary - No trade background, Gov of Rhode Island

Deb Haaland, Interior Secy - New Mexico Congressman

And just for kicks…Bill Nye, the environmentalist “Science Guy” — no background in environmentalism or science, he’s a mechanical engineer and comedy writer

I have two girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) told the New York Times as he explained why his party lost last week

Expected he is facing heat from his fellow Democrats for just saying common sense stuffs

It truly fascinates me that the people who made Trump take a mugshot are clutching pearls about AG Gaetz.
Trump 2.0 is Operation IDGAF.

Gaetz. Tulsi. RFK. Hegseth. Are moderate picks.

Hardcore MAGA are still in reserve.
Stone. Lindell. Kudlow. Bannon. Flynn. Boebert. McCollugh. Guiliani.
Folks with ax to grind.

-Lord
There agony just began... This is Trump's axe to grind. He basically has nothing to lose especially how the corrupt Dems treated him.
They should read "Art of the Deal"... Trump would get 99% of his nominees in this time around. This isn't 2017.

Reading these posts from Nigerians who've never stepped foot in the US, noone should be suprised Nigeria looks the way it does.
From cheering outright Corruption to looking fwd to "axes to Grind".
The government to them is purely a vehicle for personal wealth and vendettas.
They are so consumed with their personal grievances and story lines they've lost grasp of the larger picture.

Put your acolytes on the Supreme Court so every matter goes your way.
Put you defense attorney and friend in the role of AG and Deputy AG so no one can prosecute your misdeeds and they can go after your enemies.
Put your acolytes in Congress so no one there can reign you in and no one can stop the graft.
And even when your acolytes in Congress are against what you do, just go around them.
Everyone is an enemy and any guardrail is an unnecessary constraint to be demolished.
How's that working out for you in Nigeria?

The ones complaining the hardest about these picks are members from Trump's own party.
The founders created the US with Checks and Balances so no person esp. the President could be a king because they left Great Britain where they felt they were persecuted.

I guess you guys know better than the system of government that's worked well for over 200 years.
Again, how is this strongman government working out for you in Nigeria?
But when you tell them Trump is planning to be a dictator, they’ll say you’re a conspiracy theorist.
The man literally said it and it looks like he’s going to do it.

These ones really think this is a game of football where on party won and gets bragging rights. It’s people’s lives and livelihoods. Not Arsenal and Manchester United. So childish.

Dude just fk off and stop quoting me.. You're the most annoying pr!ck here.
I bet you those senators are all mouth, they'll be forced to confirm Trump's picks or face retribution and primarying. This is no time to play softball again after what Biden's nominees did. Four years is gonna be too long for you. Be ready to get real job and get off food stamps

Statistically, he has more to worry about with the men around her. Be it in his family, her male relatives, male friends, male classmates, male church members and male acquaintances than he’ll ever have to worry about a formerly male individual playing sports with her. I don’t make up the facts. They’re there for anyone who’s not blind. The men around her put her in more danger than an imaginary prospective former male athlete.

If he wants to protect her, he should vote for gun ownership reforms. To reduce the chances that a male in her circle will get a tickle in his brain one day and decide to go mowing down the humans around him with an AR15. That’s been shown to happen hundreds of times this year alone. Hundreds of times!

Compare that statistic to the number of cases of a formerly male sports player hurting a teammate on the field. Seems like one is more of a priority. I’ll never believe a republican cares about children until they start voting for gun control legislation, feeding children in all schools, free healthcare for children etc. Y’all love kids until they’re born. Then you want them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 8:12am On Nov 16, 2024
This is the cycle every time.

For the last 50 years, republicans will ruin the economy and democrats step in to fix it. That’s why it’s obvious anyone who said they’re voting for Trump for the economy is either a big fat liar, a band wagoner or someone with the memory of a fish.

Republicans on average always have net negative job growth and all the negative markers of a failing economy. If they are so good at leading, the republican states won’t be the lowest rated in education, highest In poverty and lowest in healthcare access. What they want is to keep holding onto their hate and voting that way while benefiting from economic prosperity that California and the likes bring to the country.

If only everyone could live strictly under the govt they voted for.
IjeBos:
Yes, because another Republican, Bush, deregulated and crashed the Economy.
So, Obama had to make the best of bad choices and bailed out the banks to save the WORLD.
They put the regulations back, Dodd-Frank, etc.
He was so successful the US came back to what it was during Trump's 1st term.
Trump came, deregulated again and not only crashed the economy because of his actions during covid, but caused bank runs because of the deregulation.
Biden again had to clean it up.

Now only someone without an inkling as to what has transpired in the US Economy would ask such a stupid question as you did.
But no one here would call you an intellectual or Economically literate.

So a father, Elected Democrat cannot show concern for his daughters safety when playing sports

If men can play in female sports then why do we need female sports again

When will you also join a male sport or send your daughter to play with male so we can believe all these you are saying

People expect people who don't believe in Government or Expertise to run Government well.

AOC removed pronouns She/her from her public profile

Seems she might be one of the smart ones cos after the election loss she did a public poll of her followers asking why if anyone voted Trump but Democrats elsewhere and they should give their reasons

It varied from Gaza, economy, wokeism, male in female sports etc

Everything you write screams that you surround yourself with a certain set of people.

Free healthcare? Who gets free healthcare? Most people's healthcare are subsidized by their company.
If you have enough resources you can create an enclave even in a place like Arkansas.

My boy lives in Lagos, sends his kids to private school in the US and comes back for his yearly checkups.
My g/f lives in Lagos and gets US health care provided by her job.

Esp. with remote work, it makes it easier to live in a less expensive place.

You really need to expand your mindset. You seem so limited in your thinking, exposure and education.
