    He signed a secret agreement to help develop China's technology [1], lobbied against a bill aimed at stopping forced labor in China [2], and blocked the Hong Kong protest app [3], the New York Times app [4], and many others [5] in China.

    This is less than negligible.

      Apparently it still wasn't enough to have Xi tell his boy Trump that Cook doesn't need to waste time licking the boot.

      The ICE folks had enough guns of their own. And trumps party has spent decades making sure that people can open carry weapons. Bit of a conundrum, eh?

        Best not to respond to the trolls.

      More likely he was curious and didn't understand the vitriolic nature of the interactions. Kinda like a drunken Irishman stumbling into a bar fight in Istanbul.

      FWIW ICE agents will probably face charges for what happened to Pretti, so cool off on that.

      I don't think criticizing anyone for what they did before/after a particular event that they were not a party to is justifiable. Let's give everyone, including Cook, the right to free choice in use of their own time.

          How do you assault someone with a smartphone camera?
          • mindslight2 hours ago
            You record video of them as they perform a gangland execution on an American citizen lawfully exercising his second amendment right to carry a firearm. This rises to the level of assault in the dogma of the "MAGA" cult.

            Honestly, I'm still amazed at how fast they've speedrun openly rejecting what used to be a core conservative position.

      Throwaway account from a troll. Don't engage.

        It’s interesting that this issue has triggered the trolls. It underlines how damaging the story is to MAGA.

        This is a new account that is only here to troll. Just flag and move on. It’ll get shadow banned soon enough.
