Is that directed at me?

It was a joke. A joke based in truth.

Imagine for a moment what would happen if it was discovered that Gates was a Trump supporter?

I’m not saying he is a Trump supporter. He’s a super duper liberal Dem Party supporter.

But imagine if he was a secret Trump supporter? Everyone on the left would collectively lose their damn mind .

Me just mentioning this as a joke has caused a downpour of down votes.

Now, who is it that’s got the mental illness?

So, it wasn’t a joke. It was bringing politics into a thread where none was needed.

That’s being a tool.

He gave 90k in 18 to republican individuals. 190 to Dems.

He contributed to 8 Dem races to 6 GOP. Open Secrets.

That don’t look super duper.

No they wouldn’t. You clearly don’t pay attention. He said he could vote for trump if Dem proposed taxes were too high.

They’re are plenty in the left that don’t like billionaires. There are plenty that don’t like Microsoft and the way they do business.

Because it involves politics. In a thread that was nothing about politics.

It’s stupid. And many come here for a reprieve from politics.

Gary Kildall might unhappily agree if he were still alive.
