United States government takes 10% of a private company

Nobody said all :joy:

Wow just wow

The hypocrisy claim started with a specific post by MAGA

Con1 “I don’t support this.”
Con2 “Me neither.”
Con3 “I also don’t support this”
Con4 " Same here. This sucks.
Con5 “Ditto.”
etc. etc.

Libs (again and again and again without reading a single post)
“see? all the cons support this. They are all hypocrites.
Heck Trump probably could shoot someone on 5th avenue.”

Quote the all post. If it’s again again and again you would have no trouble posting them

What is with the drama llama nonsense?

Why are you ignoring the maga posts?

I mean after saying libs are talking to themselves you start quoting your own darn posts. If that’s not comedy and complete lack of self awareness then….

Show me.
Name names.

Who, on this thread supports this?

My contention:
You’ve got some pre-conceived narrative stuck in your head
and started repeating it without even reading the posts on this thread to see if it is true.

And it had nothing to do with your posts or most posters in this thread

Don’t start about preconceived notions and your imagined posts that nobody posted

If you can’t see two obvious attempts in this thread by maga(which was not posted by cons but by MaGA) to (1) waive it away and (2) support it then i cannot help you. It’s purposeful and you can wallow in your purposefulness. You took the time to review the thread. You quoted the correct posts by posters who are not maga and yet you somehow managed to ignored two discussions with maga wherein there were the two things i. mentioned. It must be on purpose. I don’t believe in willful blindness

Okay.

List three posters on this thread who support the gov’t taking a 10% stake in Intel.
(If you cannot then I am probably correct the multiple accusations of hypocrasy are pretty misplaced, right?)

Correct i agree with you the broad brush of hypocrisy is absolutely misplaced

Thank you.

I honestly cannot find 3 cons on this thread who support this.
but I had no problem finding half dozen cons and one ex-Repbulican who oppose it.

Yet when I stated my opposition for the third time the responsese were

and

prior to that I read similar posts.

The world is larger than this thread.

The point is, every accusation is turning into a confession.

Dems are socialists? Well, that ship has sailed. The GOP is excusing taking actual ownership of a US company. And not like GM, GM fell under the US because they were going bankrupt and no bank was able to help them because the economy was crashing. We made a profit once they went back on the market. Same with Chrysler. And it stopped us from going into an even deeper dive, saving millions of jobs. Given all that, Cons were all about calling that Socialism.

Now? The US isn’t saving Intel, they are just getting their slice of the pie like any good Socialist government does.

So, the GOP lost the Socialism line. They lost the pedophile line by covering up for Epstein and Maxwell. (For probably good reason, Trump was probably very involved in that whole mess). They lost the Constitutional line by allowing an Imperial Presidency and an abdication of power from the Congress in regards to immigration and tariff policy.

We’re building concentration camps in swamps and putting troops in the streets and no one is batting an eye. I suppose going full Socialist was the next logical step.

You’re asserting that there are MAGA responses in this thread. Help us out and provide examples.

Eh. You can see them yourselves. Or don’t. I made my assertions. I don’t feel like debating the ins outs of who is maga and who isn’t and what constitutes support and what doesn’t. I’ll stick to my “preconceived notions”.

Not just one US company. According to Trump there are many more to come.

“People come in and they need something,” Mr. Trump explained, saying of the Intel deal specifically: “I hope I’m going to have many more cases like it.”

To some conservative economists, Mr. Trump’s declaration appeared both curious and problematic. For a generation, Republicans preached the idea that government should not interfere in free markets and bet taxpayer money on winners and losers — and yet the president himself appeared to acknowledge his tactics on Monday as a new form of industrial policy.

“I think what we’re seeing is less a strategic, thoughtful shift toward state capitalism and more an opportunistic display of corporate shakedowns,” said Michael R. Strain, an economist with the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute. “Either way, this does create significant risks for the companies that are entering into these deals, and for the long-term prosperity of the American people.”
