Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide

I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

I'm not actually confident anyone will do any public shaming this time. These are the leaders of the the Trump GOP. They are the most important members and everyone in the GOP knows that these are their leaders and supports it.

I'm honestly surprised that Politico even published this scoop.

Do you think Politico thought they had a big scoop here that would shock people? I honestly can't imagine more than 10 percent of America being surprised by this and 95 percent of the GOP will celebrate it.

Dem voters are enraged at the Schumer propped up bumbling, geriatric old guard so in theory she should get stomped but Mainers are freaking weird and I have no idea why they like any of the politicians they end up voting for.

Trump took office with a Israel-Hamas ceasefire in place, then announced a vision for Gaza as a US-owned resort, with most Palestinians living there gone. Israel restarted military ops in March and imposed famine. Thousands of dead Palestinians later, the Trump admin helped broker another ceasefire.

Opinion | Trump’s Nobel peace prize campaign is the least important part of the Gaza deal

If the ceasefire holds, the administration deserves much credit. But the fixation on Trump getting a prize distracts from things that actually matter.

They refused to say that COVID was a bioweapon developed by Fauci and Dems in a secret Chinese lab to hurt Trump in 2020. That's why those people were all fired.

And we were in a cease fire when he was sworn in. The biggest difference now is that Israel has bombed basically every single neighbor in the region other than Saudi Arabia and UAE since then and proven they have ton be aggressively contained.

I still remember a handful of phone numbers I haven't dialed in 20+ years.

I used to make up little jingles in my head to remember them.

My own suspicion is that Biden and his top State Dept people are and were all extremely pro genocide and at heart evil motherfuckers. I believe they wanted to help Bibi and now those insiders are all pretending Biden was a braindead dupe because they are trying to salvage their own future careers.

The first thing any Dem admin that follow this has to do is freeze all Trump family assets and flag passports for travel bans within minutes of swearing in.

Every dollar this family has belongs to the government and the same is true of most of his top billionaire donors and advisors.

Didn't he finish out his life in exile in his slave colony because people back in European society hated his guts?

There are How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo and Stitch promos and merch all over the place in Sao Paolo, Brazil. It's been way more noticeable than the occasional marvel licensing deal.

Let's rename it after the entire Italian American community that invented the modern version of what the world calls pizza. Not only is this worthy of a holiday, but it will annoy Italian nationalists. Win/win.

That dude needs a group of guy friends to insult him and call him names until he just asks girls out to make them stop. It's his only chance.

Unfortunately most of us did not hate the state of Israel back then and it cost too many people their lives and homes.

We fucking do now.

China is the only country that understands what Trump is and handles his bullshit correctly. Maybe Putin, but even he makes some errors.

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

If Kiley wants to write and pass an immediate strict gerrymandering ban for every federal and state elected body where the representation has to be within 5 percent of the overall vote he is welcome to do so and Dems will support his bill. Otherwise he should fuck off and die.

Did you rent it or has it finally shown up on one of the streaming subs after all these years?

WTF is an "off the record lecture?"

If you don't want everyone finding out what sick shit you believe and talk about, you probably shouldn't be a "lecturer."

I couldn't watch Morbius all the way through. I made it about 1/3 to 1/2 through it and just couldn't watch it anymore.

Kraven the Hunter was at least watchable and had okay action sequences. It was also a pacing, plot and writing mess but I could watch it.

He's certainly a capable actor. I've never understood what he wants to be though. He takes trash roles in badly written big budget projects then tries to method act his ass off like he's Daniel Day Lewis.

Anyone who wanted to serve America would be seen as an existential threat by everyone else in that crime org and immediately destroyed and threatened into silence.

I don't really mind weird attempts to make Tron a thing every decade or 2. The thing that bothers me about this one is that big studios apparently still believe Jared Leto is a true A lost movie star who puts asses in seats.

He just isn't. He never has been but Disney and others all think he is.
