Amazon must have something Trumpco wants (for Pootey)

[deminks]

and wants pretty badly.

Brad's the guy who supposedly oversaw Trump campaign's liaison/work with Cambridge Analytica and Facebook.


Brad Parscale:

Do not forget to mention that @amazon has probably 10x the data on every American that @facebook does. All that data and own a political newspaper, The @washingtonpost. Hmm...

[WheelWalker]

1. Hmm...

[Fullduplexxx]

2. His developer buddies are bitching about amazon taking away business from their malls

[herding cats]

3. Is Parscale admitting Trump attacking Amazon is a vendetta with Bezos related to the WaPo?

Because that's what I'm seeing here.

[MBS]

6. Good call. n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Add to this his Brick and Mortar

Buddie Barrick is losing his ass on his Shopping Centers.

[herding cats]

11. True, but those aren't coming back.

Amazon is a vital supply of goods not available to a lot of Trumps base any other way. They've grown used to having their things delivered to their door - FREE two day Prime - and I don't see them being willing to give that up.

I could see some of them switching to Walmart home delivery. Which the company has been trying to grow into an Amazon like model, but they don't offer the diversity of goods Amazon does yet.

13. So aware of this,and Wal Mart

is in the process of Right Sizing their retail model. Meaning Store Closings to come,eliminating sku's,and abandoning old empty Store Buildings on local Cities. and Towns.

[Generic Brad]

12. Ahhh, I get it now

Bezos wouldn't give up his data to Cambridge Analytica.

[Thyla]

4. Data and the Space industry.

[Mr. Ected]

5. But Brad, do you have any proof that Amazon has weaponized or misapplied any of that data?

Another. false. equivalency.

Fuck those traitors.

[CincyDem]

7. Amazons real business is AWS

They lose money on virtually every shipment but print money via Amazon Web Services...one of, if not the largest providers of cloud storage to businesses...including many banks and financial institutions.

8. "Kiss my ring or watch your stock tank"

Trump really is an evil fucker. This country needs sanitizing and therapy to get over this clown.

[Buns_of_Fire]

10. Data on multiple shipments of size XXXXXL lingerie to the WH?

From the "Jedgar of Washington" line, no less.

[Raven]

14. I would think that the USPS makes a ton of $ off of Amazon. n/t

[matt819]

15. Was this supposed to be a threat?

If so, it's pointless, sophomoric, and moronic.

Yes, Amazon has tons of shopping and searching data on tens of millions (more?) users worldwide. So what? Is it 10 times the data FB has? Who the fuck knows. These guys don't, but the scare words are out there. So what can Amazon do with all that data on me? Ok, so they can recommend products I might be interested in or they might market other Amazon services to me - fire stick, alexa, kindle, etc. Again, so what? I can choose to buy, or not. I'm not being micro targeted for political purposes, unless there are secret messages in the foreign language TV I find myself streamin on Amazon. Amazon is not using my shopping data to feed me lies or change my votes on anything, unlike Parscale, FB, CA, and others. At worst, I'll buy a book I really didn't want to read, or a blender that is more expensive than the one I was going to buy.

As for Bezos's ownership of the Washington Post, again, so what? If the WP were using Amazon data for some nefarious purposes, we'd know that by now, since Bezos has owned the WP since 2013. And the WP is not Fox and it's not Inforwars and it's not Facebook. It's a mainstream newspaper and media service. Maybe the WP's eatvoraciously account on Instagram will change my cooking and eating habits. Oh, horrors.

Saying random "scare" words like Bezos, Amazon, WP, Soros, liberals, data, and 10x the data is typical of the right, and what's frightening is that it works in that universe, even when the message is pointless.

16. Amazon is a lot bigger than Trump Enterprises ever was or will be.

That's got to bug the Con. He's the failure, Amazon is the success.
