Vance: But Peter, won't everyone realize that you just bought the vice presidency by supporting me?

Thiel: Just tell them "tech people bad" or some shit, they'll be none the wiser.

Something we actually agree on.

I agree, but I also think the same about him (and he basically has no power until Trump chokes on a filet-o-fish).

Vice President JD Vance said Saturday that “we believe fundamentally that big tech does have too much power,” despite the prominent positioning of tech CEOs at President Trump’s inauguration last week.

Oh - but not those Big Tech guys, they're cool.

Wasn’t he hand selected by Peter Thiel?

Nobody bought the $JD coin 😢😭

Who would ever give a shit what these clowns think? How is this news?

Oh right we're violently controlled by these wackos...

Big tech has too much power!

That's why we let them pay us large sums of money so that we let them do whatever the fuck they want. Apparently Facebook now blocks distrowatch links, one of the bigger sites about Linux, and Linux got labeled as something something evil.. this, of cout, has nothing to do with Microsoft, it's just totally coincidental

They are literally pulling a Hitler/Putin. What the actual fuck. Have people in the party say things that that your opponents agree with just to give the illusion that the ruler is fair and has a wide variety of view points to consider.

This administration needs to be over last Monday.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

We got what we want, now we vilify them.

Where have we seen this before? Oh right. Fascism.

Don't worry JD, this will sort itself out thanks to Zuckerberg and Musk driving people to alternative platforms.

These authoritarian populist tactics, after those people who voted for them (or will be able to vote) will say like "and you said that this person is bad!"

They use the same tactic in Russia regularly. When politicians destroyed life of millions of people, after some time one poitician in Duma will say the right thing or propose a law for popular social issue, like "we're against domestic violence" (domestic violence is common in this shithole), or on "elections" they will offer sausage or money for a vote to population.

I don't know what they are trying to achieve by that, but maybe that people will restore trust in them, and will continue to believe that "BS-democracy". And after that these politicians who support dictatorship will continue to launder resources from the country. But in Russia they do that because they need people to participate in pseudo-elections, that will legitimize their fascist regime.

I say that the executive branch has not been given the power to create laws or judge whether or not they are legal... but that seems to be what his administration has unilaterally decided is true now.

The laws are on the books. They should be implemented in good faith by the executive branch. This is not being done.

That interview was interesting

She kept trying to get him to fall into traps or get angry but he was calm and respectful the entire time. This man is someone who can talk.

It's a Good Thing then that a Tech Bro didn't just buy the President Of The United States!

He's just jealous of Musk. He wants to be Trump's buddy more than anything.

Reading the article, it sounds to me like he is saying "More to the left guys, I want to see Don's anus rimmed squeaky clean!"

Wait until Big Tech buys those nuclear reactors.
