  • He’s losing this case on the merits, frankly the judge is being too lenient on him since he’s a former lawyer and prosecutor who definitely knows better but is lying anyway, but his lawyer and publicist are telling the reporters after court that this is all a liberal witch hunt.

  • Again, you’re trying to make excuses for him based on what you assume his intentions are. There’s no evidence that Trump solicited these donations, so it’s not comparable to the mafia. He just had to keep quiet and politically agnostic and Trump would likely not have noticed. The fact remains that Apple is way more popular than Trump would be unlikely to take action against Apple. I’m judging Cook based on his actions and the harm it will cause. I don’t care about his intentions; the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

  • Still beating this strawman?

    The Uncommitted movement warned Trump would be bad. Everyone knows this. They gave clear minimal criteria for Harris to get their endorsement like allowing just one Palestinian to speak at DNC to endorse her and her campaign said no despite allowing Israeli-Americans to speak. She was more willing to throw away votes than cave an inch, in hopes that voters vote for her anyway, and most still did, by that point the loss is on her.

  • HIPAA can be violated without giving a name, if certain details are disclosed; eg the only 6 year old in the state with rickettsiapox who was admitted on December 21.

    But no, this tweet did not violate HIPAA.

  • And did I vote for him or endorse him or donate to him or support him? No.

    At this point if you really are missing the point that badly I can’t help you. You threw away your principles in an attempt to give democrats a win and have nothing to show for it. Peace.

  • Ok, then what evidence do you have that Biden’s private discussions had any tangible benefit? Biden praised and hugged Netanyahu in public, but if you want me to believe he was harsh on him in private, show me what secret “behind the scenes” action made it worth it to allow Netanyahu to publicly insult Biden and make the US look complicit in war crimes. Did it prevent escalation of the war or bombing of Lebanon? No. Did it force Israel to stop bombing Gaza hospitals? Did it force Israel to publicly hold soldiers to account for war crimes? Nope. Did he force both sides into a ceasefire or get hostages with American citizenship back? NO. Literally every one of Biden’s publicly stated Israel-Palestine policies failed.

    You have nothing to show for this “trust Biden, he’s working behind the scenes even if he’s looking like a fool in public for praising Netanyahu and acting blind to the atrocities in Gaza.”

  • It seems I was confusing you with another poster in this thread, and for that I’m sorry. You bashing “people like yourself” was ambiguous as was your comment putting down the needs of Muslims overseas.

    Of course, I support the trans community and I think both our communities are about to suffer over the next few years.

  • Not at all. It’s frankly telling that you view this as some sort of zero-sum game, that we must sell out one minority or another. We all succeed or fail together; it’s why Muslim-Americans and LGBT groups have been working together politically for over 20 years. Despite that, it was still shocking to see how many LGBT people immediately tried to abandon Muslim voters because they thought it could help Biden/Harris win in swing states, and still bash them even now after the election. (Even though anti-trans ads played a much bigger role) You’re doing what you criticize others for even here and now.

    Hillary already tried this in 2016, throwing Muslim Americans and Arab Americans under the bus in order to boost her votes among conservatives and Republican voters. It failed, and Biden/Harris decided to try it again.

  • They just do not care about other people, so the suffering of one minority or another isn’t important to them.

    Frankly, they were more irritated that these minority groups exist in the first place since they get in the way of whatever political goal they have. It’s like the movie Don’t Look Up, where the president says that this asteroid or comet or whatever is so inconvenient for her because she was going to spend the summer having a political fight over Supreme Court nominations and can’t they just push this extinction-level-event crisis back to another time, like the fall or after the midterms?
