      Several other good things started under Biden have continued under Trump’s FTC and FCC as well. Trump supporters think Trump is responsible for it though.

        Some of ‘Bidens’ decisions were started under the previous Trump administration as well, and Biden supporters all said Trump would never had done that.

        policittn is always like that.

          Do you happen to have any examples off the top of your head? Most of my news is fairly left-wing bubble so I’m unlikely to ever hear about that kinda stuff

            Back in 2020 his DoJ filed the antitrust lawsuit against Google that concluded successfully a year ago.

                🫡 I too am prone to being bubbled so I collect anti-talking-points like these in a dedicated note. A sort of grounding technique I guess.

                To be clear, this is not only the best example I had off the top of my head, it appears to also be the best relevant answer from my note, and while Trump took credit for it after the fact, I am certain he would have accepted bribes to make the case “go away.”

                  Maybe someday it’d help for me to implement something similar. For today I kinda just have to focus on feeding myself and figuring out how to be a person, but appreciate you sharing that approach, I’ll keep that in the back of my mind

                  I greatly appreciate your being able to remind me of what happens outside my bubble, at least in a small way. I’m less good at remembering details and keeping up with it all, but I try really hard never to forget there’s stuff I won’t see, or won’t hear about because of where I engage with people.

                  I agree, I have no doubt he would have gladly dropped it in favor of some personal gain. And he had been angry at Google for what he perceived as left wing bias, which I believe was a lot of the motive.

                  Anyway, thank you, and I hope you have a lovely day 😊

      The Trump admin is more about comically open corruption than traditional conservative non-interference in the market. Trump is trying to get Intel to hand over 10% of the company’s ownership. Traditional conservatives are not running the Trump administration.

      Instead, their motives are a lot more corrupt. They don’t support corporations in general. Instead, they support corporations that bribe them and oppose corporations that don’t. The gym industry evidently hasn’t placated themselves sufficiently to the Trump regime, so Biden’s lawsuit is allowed to continue. It will be withdrawn the moment they bend the knee and pay up.

      Trump has a spreadsheet of companies loyalty to him. It’s possible the gym cartels didn’t give him enough bribes.
