Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How would that even work?
Destroy the Google HQ, data centers, and assassinate it's leadership?
I mean he could maybe direct a Republican Congress to legislatively fine and tax Alphabet into the ground, but there are definitely a large number of Congress that have money in Alphabet.
He can't even come up with coherent rants, how could he come up with a way to fight someone as big as Alphabet.
i just don't understand why
We hate google for being a giant, evil corporation that bribes republicans to vote against things like net neutrality or privacy rights
Why would a republican go after google? theyre on the same side
Because Trump is an absolute moron, and his followers agree with anything he says.
Also, he, nor anybody else who would pursue something this dumb realize how many things run on google's cloud, middleware, SaaS products, etc. His middle schooler mind thinks "google = google.com search," when Alphabet's business is so much bigger than that.
Remember when he said that Goldman Sachs has to forgive all Puerto Rico’s municipal bonds? That was fun.
Alphabet is largely guided by the intelligence community.
This is consistent with Trump attacking the CIA and the deep state.
It's been found to be a monopoly. I'm sure they'll appeal, but we may find out what it looks like in our own lifetimes.
Well he can make it an executive action and basically kill everyone and blow everything up.
