Google made a bad bet on Clinton
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 13, 2016 | Peter Roff

Posted on 12/14/2016 6:50:20 AM PST by kevcol

There's more but, unfortunately for the folks trying to game the system, the polls were wrong. All the strategic guidance, financial support and public endorsements Google gave to help catapult Clinton into the highest office in the land were for naught. President-elect Trump's victory is something the vaunted Google algorithms failed to predict, meaning its tremendous run in Washington is about to come to a screeching halt.

Google's trying to make nice but Trump has a long memory, especially where those who opposed him are concerned. Company executives are headed to Trump Tower for a meeting, ironically enough, at the same time they're in New York for a "thank you" event thrown by the Clinton campaign.

The Yahoo home page is no friend to Donald, either.

Why is Google any different than all of those “donors” who sent millions to the Clintons?

I assume this is the end of the “foundation”...too little return for “donors”...

Of course they picked The Hildabeast!

Only a company that is evil to its very core needs this slogan:

(Compare to "the most ethical administration ever" and "the most transparent administration ever"...)

Maybe the end but the “foundation” has a couple billion $$$ to feather their ever-soiled nest. An Independent Prosecutor needs to investigate the criminal lunatics.

It isn’t personal. They hate anybody who is Conservative or who wants to fix the corrupt system.

It is what money does to weak minds. Google and Yahoo both wreak of far-left stupidity. Never go there for sure.

Google’s support of Hillary was not based off of polls.

It was simply that she was the liberal in the race. Period.

Yep.

If a man has to tell you he’s a hero, he’s no hero.

If a woman has to tell you she’s a lady, she’s no lady.

If a company has to tell you they’re not evil, they’re evil.

To the very marrow of their bones.

I discovered some months ago that google protects the privacy of the venezuelan socialist hunta. There is an upscale neighborhood in Caracas where Maduro’s thugs live, and every house is blocked from view in google earth.

What’s both funny and sad about this is if these companies played it straight, and instead of being political they did what was right, they would earn twice as much money for their shareholders.

The Yahoo Finance page is just as bad.

Hmmm, seems such ‘cooperation’ would make it easier to identify targets.

It’s the sidebar smut on Yahoo that finally drove me to getting rid of the (paid) Yahoo email.
