They may have called Hillary Clinton a Turd Sandwich, but they also had their Trump stand-in look right at the audience and tell them to vote for the Turd Sandwich. The message was not “Both sides are equally bad”, it was “both sides are bad but holy shit, guys, are you seriously considering voting for that guy?”.

Silicon Valley and San Francisco quietly raise their sanctimonious hands.

South Park practically looked right in the camera and begged you not to vote for Trump.

I agree that the entertainment industry should probably never get on their moral high horse again about...well, anything.

Add them to the list of Jews for Trump, college-educated antivaxxers, and Clarence & Ginny Thomas

I agree with much of what you say in your comment, but those of us who are familiar with Anita Hill’s crucial role in feminist history would definitely take issue with this assertion:

He could have sold the sites. He didn’t want to.

There comes a point where the money you make is no longer earned, it’s stolen from someone else who worked for it. Being rich effectively requires this.

Sorry to shout but WHY DID HE BUY IT THEN?

so you’re as pro-union as someone who is anti-union

Hint: The salary of the employees doesn’t come from the private coffers of the boss, it comes from the assets of the company, where it flows to because the work of the employees is valued by those bringing in money - whether it’s paying readers or advertisers who appreciate the viewers the work of the journalists…

I’m as pro-union as anybody...

Just because you were in a shitty union doesn’t mean you can extrapolate that all unions are shitty.

The hand that feeds you holds a huge fist of food but gives you a morsel and when you dare ask for more, it punches you in the face and lets you starve. But don’t ever bite it, you’d make it upset.

Then you’re not pro union. This guy took the ball and went home. They didn’t even start to negotiate

Why is every single rich person evil as fuck?

Yeah, he controls the means of production and does whatever the fuck he wants with them. That’s some capitalist shit right there.

Any claim that this is anything other than retribution for unionizing is horseshit. If it was merely a matter of numbers not adding up - and Ricketts no longer being willing to eat the losses - he’d try to sell the business to someone else and thus recoup some of his losses.

He gave $1 million to Trump.

That’s capitalist af.
