The companies dont care about you per se.  The government would care about you precisely. That’s why they need subpoena power and legal authorities to do this sort of thing.

No more married women or unwed mothers. And if you're divorced...

Better yet, recommend marrying them off to get them out of the workforce.

Big companies probably aren’t going to monitor you for dissent, at least not until they’re contracted by the government.

Expand  

They might monitor you if you are doing damage to their company with media stories or law suits. The fact that they have the capability to do this is a problem, always has been.

If you oppose the king. Full force Autocracy.

Some House Freedom Caucus members are screaming payback if Dems successfully force a vote on the House floor to release the Gaetz ethics report, saying it could lead to them getting other reports involving current or former Dem members, per Politico

Expand  

I say bring it on, expose them all both Democrats and Republicants. Drain the swamp, because the incoming regime definitely won't

Wonder what that does to the ethics investigation then?  Didn't it stop because he wasn't a member of congress anymore and considered "irrelevant"?

This assumes Elon and Trump won't have a falling out in the ensuing time period.

If they do, it'll be Elon kicking Trump to the curb, since Trump looks up to people more wealthy than he.

I know what you are saying, but as long companies can do it and they are not regulated, I feel as if they are just as dangerous as the government.  Somebody has always been bound to use this capability for nefarious purposes as I am sure they have already done.  Trump could not begin to understand how to do this on his own, so he'll need help from others.

That is because his whole life has been about accumulating wealth and he is not a good businessman.

I posted something similar an hour or so earlier, but because I couldn’t find anything reputable to confirm this, I deleted it.
 

It’s a rumor, but it doesn’t feel real to me. I say we let discretion be the better part of valor and wait to see it linked to a News outlet that has some credibility

[CMRivdogs]

Pam Bondi, come on down! You're the next Trump A-G nominee

At least she has actual experience as an AG, even if it was Florida

So it seems that the Trump method of operation is to make outrageous nominations for cabinet, and other positions.

Some will be refused, some will drop out, and Trump’s 2nd or 3rd proposals will have people sigh with relief, … when , if they were initial choices also, there would be concerns.

but it looks like people are gonna roll over and play dead.

Hasn’t anyone learned anything?

[Tiger337]

On the positive side, most of them will be fired within a year and they'll be mocked and humiliated by Trump.

It was probably an attempt to discredit bsky by the perverts in charge of X or the Russian bot farms.
