And Apple being top donor... does anyone think they're the good guys any more?

@jwildeboer Anonbox is your email friend. 💌
Ryanfullywoolly@mastodon.socialOct 19, 2026, 1:16 AM@jwildeboer curious WaPo picked up the story ...
infinityinfinity@troet.cafeOct 19, 2026, 5:11 AM@fullywoolly
Telling the people "no taxes"used...
just for the case (midterms)
@jwildeboer- Ryanfullywoolly@mastodon.socialOct 19, 2026, 5:46 AM
@infinity @jwildeboer That is a good angle but I'd be curious how many in the population care more about where the money comes from vs the blatant corruption. And the connection between Amazons "donation" and WaPo with the story. Maybe you're right and that's all there is. Maybe it's a hope to be on the right side of history ...

@fullywoolly My (possibly biased) observation as WaPo subscriber: In the last few weeks I have noticed quite a change in their reporting. They got a lot more aggressive and critical towards the Trump admin. @infinity
MacCruiskeenmaccruiskeen@social.linux.pizzaOct 19, 2026, 1:35 AM@jwildeboer A hive of scum and viiliany.
Peter BlokPeterBlok@toot.communityOct 19, 2026, 2:24 AM@jwildeboer Just think about all the good that could have been done with this money: education, housing, infrastructure, health care, etc., etc
Instead of spending it on a ballroom.
Oct 19, 2026, 2:26 AM@jwildeboer who's surprised at this stage, it's always the same 15 mustache-twirling, nefarious giggling bozos on these lists
JohnnoDjityDjity@mastodon.socialOct 19, 2026, 2:41 AM@jwildeboer These would be all the same people complaining that their taxes are too high????
Arnoarno_in_sing@mastodon.onlineOct 19, 2026, 2:53 AM@jwildeboer Top10 must now feel scammed that they donated far too much to be on the top 10. Bottom half shouldn’t have bothered as they don’t make the top half and are thus easily forgotten.
Alexnap@social.coopOct 19, 2026, 2:54 AM@jwildeboer daaaaang the government is cheap. We should pool our money and buy our own senators.
an actual busrenardboy@mastodon.socialOct 19, 2026, 3:04 AM@jwildeboer kind of feels like the usual suspects huh
NewsHundNewsHund@mastodon.socialOct 19, 2026, 4:43 AM1. Wow, Apple didn’t just kind of donate here.
2. I see several foundations on here … can nonprofits make political donations?
ArapallaArapalla@aus.socialOct 19, 2026, 4:48 AMSo, who is leaking this stuff and why?
- Oct 19, 2026, 9:08 AM
@Arapalla My best guess is that it is someone in the Trump admin that is proud of all the donations they organised and wants to brag about it ;)
divVerentdivVerent@vivaldi.netOct 19, 2026, 4:59 AM@jwildeboer One would think this list should at least include one "civilian weapons" manufacturer.
But no. Not even one. Not Smith & Wesson. Not Daniel Defense. Not Palmetto State Armory. Not Bushmaster. Not Remington. Not Colt. Not Mossberg. Not Ruger. Not Marlin. Not even Hi-Point. None of them. Even though one would _expect_ them to donate to "red" causes in the US.
This isn't political alignment. This isn't "thanks". It's outright corruption, payment for future actions.
bbbhltzbbbhltz@framapiaf.orgOct 19, 2026, 5:08 AM@jwildeboer Poor things, can't imagine what it is like to pay their taxes. I shed a tear every year thinking of them... Bootlicking little cucks.

Oct 19, 2026, 5:35 AMDid I miss it or is Elon not on the list? That's kinda surprising...
Paul HealeyDialectician@universeodon.comOct 19, 2026, 6:53 AM@13reak @jwildeboer Trump has to pay Emperor Elon, hence the subsidies and the ultimate racketeering tool: StarLink
Conny Naschconnynasch@mastodon.socialOct 19, 2026, 7:12 AM@jwildeboer Bribery and corruption, completely disgusting! 🤢
amaliaamalia22@mastodon.socialOct 19, 2026, 7:26 AM@jwildeboer Pass the guillotine!
CoolBlenderKittenCoolBlenderKitten@mastodon.artOct 19, 2026, 9:58 AM@jwildeboer
All the while people are starving and homeless and can't afford medical care.
But of course there's no money for these "luxuries"
And even worse: people accept this
Preston MacDougallChemicalEyeGuy@mstdn.scienceOct 19, 2026, 10:59 AM@jwildeboer This is a list of lackies who will receive a #Trump meme coin from #IvannaBallroom.
