What super-charged his grift was those dumbasses that gave him that game show. He was known in and around Manhattan for being a loudmouth bullshit artist, and I think Stern would give him some time on the air because Stern probably thought it made for good content to showcase this asshole.

But that stupid show really amplified the grift. It's interesting how the show creators seem to characterize his "offices" as rather rundown and depressing, and no wonder.

I bet there is at least a plurality of Americans that still think he's a great businessman thanks to that bullshit show.

    but Google Maps went ahead

    And Apple.

    And you are exactly right. I don't mean to say the everyday American is switching to these new names donnie came up with; my point was that the powerful bent the knee, almost immediately, and with no objection at all. The only people adopting these in the everyday are complete choads.

    “own the libs”

    That's cool, because we can put anti-donnie stuff on every bit of paper currency that passes through our hands, but nearly for free.

    Oh, and while you are at it, cross out that anti-American bullshit about trusting in their god. :)

    We are all in the direct line of fire of this shit. Our jobs are getting destroyed, we are getting deskilled (if you even have a job) and entire occupations will be laid to waste.

    And, even if you somehow aren't going to be impacted by this on your job, we ALL are going to be collateral damage when the AI bubble goes pop. We'll probably be throwing gobs of taxpayer money to patch things up in the aftermath.

    All while we STILL don't have the right to clean air, clean water, while nothing is being done about climate change, while we don't have food safety, while we have RFK jr heading up our health, and we don't have universal health care, and so on.

    LOL, the guy Thiel invested in is going to resign? Then what?

    Also:

    But if Meta is truly interested in prioritizing the safety of users, the board should request the resignation of Mark Zuckerberg and restructure to put safety above profit.

    You are kidding, right? When is a MNC going to prioritize anything over profit? You think they have been on the path of enshittification for well over a decade now for any other reason but profit?

    Yet again, Republicans vote for politicians who actively work to undermine those voter’s interests.

    The need to own the libz. Also women, POC, LGBTQ, etc...honestly, the tribal, cult-like need to hurt others is really their brand. Even if they are repeatedly a shot in the shorts all the time in that process.
