Google, Microsoft, and Apple are all giant corporations. The people who matter inside of those corporations are more often than not conservative. Any sort of 'woke' shit they do is a business decision (because guess what, tolerance and shit is more popular than being a chud) but they wouldn't do anything if they didn't think it would make them money.

CNN is owned by a Trump donator. ABC is owned by Disney, more liberal than most but definitely not a bastion of liberal ideas. The Freedom Caucus wants to outlaw certain types of human beings, the Squad more or less attempts to push progressive policies that would be beneficial to marginalized groups (and occasionally says really fucking stupid shit, looking at you Tlaib) but AOC in particular is in a completely different stratosphere of being a politician and policymaker than a single individual in the Freedom Caucus. The quad also has demonstrably less pedophile sex traffickers.

No, I don't think being mildly annoyed at "woke" initiatives in the same ballpark as their (wrong pronoun, I'm sure) existence being offensive and they (did it again) should be snuffed out. Then again, I do not see that type of comment that often but also tune out as soon as an article goes down that road. And trust me, the Religious Right is just as annoying with their unbelievable hypocrisy.

CNN owned by Trump donator or not, they do lean left but not nearly as much as they were during Trump / Covid Years.

100% agree with the business decision comment regarding woke initiatives. Same thing the banks / financial institutions did during occupy Wall Street. I have long been a proponent that private businesses can do, cater to whatever / whomever they like. I still don't get the whole Boycott Bud Light / Target thing recently. Very easy to just not shop at a store or purchase a product without making a big production out of it.

The Florida judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents trial dismissed the case against the former president Monday on the grounds that the appointment of and funding for special counsel Jack Smith was illegal.

Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump nominee to the bench, said in her 93-page decision that Smith's appointment was "unlawful" and unconditional.

The decision came on the first day of the Republican National Convention, and following an assassination attempt on the former president over the weekend.

It is so great that Xers are still the forgotten generation. People now are either a Boomer, Millennial, Z and whatever is next.

But to be fair, you are a Chud.
