Apple CEO Tim Cook will host a fundraiser with House Speaker Paul Ryan next week as the iPhone maker tries to strengthen its relationships with key Republicans — despite its decision to pull support for the GOP convention because of its distaste for Donald Trump. Cook will help generate cash for Ryan at a private breakfast on June 28 in Menlo Park, Calif., along with Gary Wipfler, the company’s treasurer, according to an invite obtained by POLITICO on Monday. The money benefits not only the speaker but a joint fundraising committee aimed at helping to elect other House Republicans.

Traitor meets Traitor....more in the pipeline I am sure..
Fascinating. Ryan is in trouble with Nehlen on his butt.
We have given money to Nehlen. Please, everyone, do likewise.
I didn’t know Tim Cook is a Republican?
A curse on both their houses!
Whatever ambiguity some may claim as to the Constitutional intent on other issues, there is absolute clarity as to the functional intent with respect to one overriding issue. That issue, the primary issue in the 2016 Presidential campaign is clearly to determine whom the new President will have the duty to serve; whose interests must be honored; which people must be favored. To address this issue, we start with the stated purpose of the Constituion--the avowed intent of the framers--the ratified intent of the subscribing States--the Preamble:
We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
"The people" to define the purpose & function of the Constitution, were beyond any question, the people of the specific ratifying States, in 1787 to 1791. "Justice" can sometimes be rather an abstract concept, but "domestic tranquility," obviously is our domestic tranquility, not the promotion of anything abroad, not calling for meddling with other peoples lives. (Nor will reviewing the specific grants of power that follow, suggest any non-American focus or purpose for either.)
The "common defence," both from the obvious context, as well as the specific grants of function that follow, is clearly the common protection of the people of the 13 sovereign States that ratified; as, indeed, the "general Welfare" is that generally beneficial of those same specific peoples.
Finally, with unmistakable clarity, is the language that identifies who precisely are to be the beneficiaries of the secured "Blessings of Liberty": The Founders & their "posterity"; the lineal descendants of those specific peoples; the descendants of the Founders, down through the generations.
Is anything in this interpretation, even arguable? Does this statement of intent waffle in anyway, as an indication of whose interest is to be favored on any Constitutional question that involves Americans on the one hand, and any other people under the sun? Is there anything in this that suggests a duty to allow any other people a right--that is a Constitutional right to demand entrance into America; or to demand anything from the American Government under a claim of legal or moral right?
Now granted, a great many of us, our particular selves included, trace our ancestry to those who came in after the Constitutional Union was established. Our personal rights of participation grow out of acceptance into those communities Blessed with that secured Liberty in the various States. They do not, by anything in the Constitution, amount to a departure from the Constitutional purpose or concept. Nor can we, if in office, claim a moral right to alter the intent & functional purpose, we have sworn to uphold, on our own initiative.
Those Republicans, like Speaker Ryan, who wring their hands over the public media, over Donald Trump's sometimes very blunt ways of deciding between alternatives, will try to cloud these points. They cannot rebuff them if we stick to the obvious. If you honor the Constitutional intent, in all things relating to the behavior of the American Government, you must put America & the Americans first.
When challenged, the unapologetic Conservative American should always return to the basic concept!
Yet note: Nothing, in what we have written, will prevent anyone, who feels a calling to preach their Faith to the people of another land; or to become a medical missionary in some other land; or to pursue any particular calling or interest anywhere on earth; from doing so. What it does do is define what one can do with respect to the resources, functional duties and policy imperatives in applying any allocated power or resource entrusted to the Government of the Unites States.
That is the point. And properly argued, it is the key to victory--to Donald Trump's victory & to America's victory!
Hey Cook, give me a couple of days and I have a bucket to donate to your cause.
“...Trump woes...”
???? Trump has no “woes”. The challenges he is dealing with are typical issues that come up in any campaign. (other than than the traitors in his own party - that isn’t typical, and although pathetic, can be dealt with, and are certainly not “woes”)
Pollutico has a projection problem.
Just received an email this morning from a group called Team Trump. Email address is RNC@govictory365.org. We don’t have much money to contribute this time around but certainly none of it will be wasted on the RNC. We did contribute directly to Nehlen, however, and the gal who is running against McCain.
Cantorize the traitor Ryan
address is RNC@govictory365.org.
This is where Paul Ryan’s money should go, he is part of the RNC, and this money is for people trying to be re elected...
Trump has his own donation site at his home page...that money goes to Trump!!!
And they pulled their support for the GOP convention! A principled person might turn him down because he isn’t supporting the nominee of his own party’s convention. Not Paul. He likes what Cook did.
Vote Nehlen August 9!
Ah, a Queer Apple supporting a Perverted Cheese Head!?!?!
If you want to donate to Trump, better to donate directly to his website (the one you posted looks like one for the RNC)
https://secure.donaldjtrump.com/donate/
I agree HL! I posted the link to the site for direct donations to Trump below (post #17)
Yep. We don’t donate anything to RNC or any other group. Always and only directly to the candidates site. We did send RNC two cents one time with our letter of opinion about them. Sent a small contribution to DT earlier this year and bought our grandson one of Trump’s hats for his birthday last month.
Have asked for RNC to “unsubscribe our email address” more times than we can count but they don’t seem to be able to comprehend what NO means. I’m sure their email lists are from multiple sources so who knows the source for this latest one in. At least the offices of Senator Cornyn and Rep Olson got the message.
Oh NOW they love Ryan. What were they saying about him four years ago when he was running for VP?
