It's kinda wild that this isn't a bigger story. Trump and Bezos have been feuding since 2015. Trump has definitely tried to bully him/Amazon. People are generally scared of what Trump may do when in office. 11 days before the election, Bezos tells his WaPo they can't endorse a candidate, and then meets with Trump people.

Beore you respond, imagine if this were the other way.

Well, considering that Bezos and Musk are competitors in the space industry and that Trump is already allegedly beholden to Musk, then doesn’t that sort of create a new layer of complications if this round of conspiracy theories is to be believed?

Well you would be wrong. I knew this would be the angle that trump supporters would take because there is really no other angle to take. That is why I said from the very beginning in 2016, when the beginning's of the trump catastrophe brought me to the PF, that the worst thing possible would be to normalize trump.
trump is not normal, trumpism has never been normal, ..... that's a critical point.

Normalizing DOJ going after political opponents is good, Normalizing FBI going after political opponents is good, Normalizing the FISA courts to go after political opponents is good, Normalizing manufacturing evidence against a political opponents is good, Normalizing murdering Americans is good, etc.

trump YOU is are not normal

Fixed for correctness. That is why Orange exists and why they are voting for him, YOU.

You have voted for at least three people that either admitted to murdering Americans or were part of the process to murdering Americans. There is no normal about your thinking process. The real crazy part is your deep hatred for people that aren't voting for your murderers and calling them names.

Well, for example, he squashed Amazon's $10b contract with the DoD last term.

Why don't you and @Sandman 423 read the links before you respond? If you had just read the headline of the link, you would know not to ask me this without reading.

But did he or was that just another baseless rumor?

Several industry experts and Wall Street analysts, however, say they believe that any Trump factor in the JEDI decision was overrated and that all signs point to Microsoft having won the deal on its own merits as a heavy hitter in cloud computing.

'I hesitate to say that Trump was the reason'​

"I hesitate to say that Trump was the reason behind Amazon not winning this," James Bach, a federal spending analyst at Bloomberg LP, told Business Insider. "Microsoft was more than capable of winning this without any kind of influence."

Trump reportedly tried to stop Amazon from winning a $10 billion cloud deal, but experts say Microsoft won on its own merits

Edit: I went back and read your links.

1 was telling the USPS to raise rates for package delivery when the USPS was asking for 10billion in loans from the taxpayers, that's hardly trying to punish Bezos
2 the DOD contract is addressed above
3 Really? How is SCOTUS allowing states to charge sales tax for out of state customers Trump punishing Bezos?
4 Yeah the anti-trust probe is a legitimate question.

My phone or VN has started retaining posts if I don’t submit them. I probably started responding to Hill, then did the other one, had to delete the old post and I screwed up and somehow merged them.

Unfortunately I got sidetracked and a nuanced agreement about the effect of social media got lost.

Tl;dr: like fire, political violence needs more than just rhetoric but social media dividing people up into echo chambers and disseminating messages makes sure the fuel is extra combustible and that the rhetoric reaches it.

It's like you're a paid attorney. Yeah, we can give him the benefit of the doubt on everything, despite all he says, his general "**** it" attitude with everything, and the fact that he has a vindictive personality and deals with people in vitriole. Let's give that guy the benefit of the doubt on a bunch of ****.

After all that, we still have to also ignore the fact that if this wasn't done out of fear, it was very likely quid pro quo.

Put your life savings on it. You betting there is nothing there or that it's out of fear/quid pro quo? I know what I'm betting.

Is it an iPhone? I didn’t upgrade iOS for a long time. Finally did it a few weeks ago and I’m seriously considering going back. I feel like it was the “new iPhone came out so we all but bricked your phone” update.
