You think it's perfectly fine for a major media corporation to expose, threaten, and blackmail people because they posted a GIF of the President wrestling someone with their logo superimposed over the face?

Can't help but think of the timing of all this. CNN getting bent out of shape over a gif while remnants of 'nothing burger' was still in the air.
Now, no one needs to talk about 'nothing burger' anymore because this is recent events and therefore everything before it is no longer relevant.

if you're gonna create politically-charged memes, man up to the backlashes of your work. Don't hide behind a screen and keyboard.

Someone should make a clip of the Newsroom intro followed by Aaron Sorkin just staring off into space with a dumbfounded look on his face | |

No suprise to me that Manic would be PRO big companies bullying the little guy.
See how he likes it when the gas company tells him to stop expressing his opinion on RS cuz it reflects badly on their brand.
