Tech giant Google donated $285,000 to President Trump's inauguration despite the fact that Eric Schmidt, the chief executive of Google's parent company Alphabet, worked directly with Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, FEC filings reveal.

Google, which enjoyed direct access to President Barack Obama's administration and attended more than 400 White House meetings along with its affiliates, was forced to pivot following Donald Trump's November victory.

Yep, that's a pittance of corporate protection money, especially for Google in an otherwise corrupt political-corporate axis.

Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and the msm own the "Millennial" mind.

The nazis and the soviets were pikers by comparison. Hell, they make the norks look like amatuers.

The millenials think they are so much smarter than everyone else but they are just a flock of brainwashed sheep.

Google has learned how to play the same games in DC as every other company.

Agreed. But someone could put this info Page 1 Thanking Google for supporting Trump and get some SJW angry enough to turn on Google. That could be fun.

“Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and the msm own the “Millennial” mind.”

There was a post here recently that indicated that the Silicon Valley companies were in the process of drafting their own “constitution.”
