GOP Brain Trust

Unread post by Lester The Nightfly »

House Republicans wrote a letter to Yahoo 'Chief Executive Officer' Marissa Mayer, but she hasn't been CEO since 2017

https://www.businessinsider.com/house-r ... y-6-2021-9

House Republicans wrote a letter to Marissa Mayer — who they described as "President and Chief Executive Officer" of Yahoo — warning her of legal action should the company hand over private data to a committee investigating the January 6 riot.

However, Mayer hasn't been CEO of Yahoo since 2017, when she resigned after spending five years attempting to pull the media giant back from a steady demise. She also stepped down from the company's board and now runs a startup called Lumi Labs.

Not surprisingly, the letter was signed by a who's who of the greatest minds the GOP has to offer like Biggs, Gaetz, Boebert, Gohmert, Gossar, Cawthorne, Brooks and the ever lovely and talented Taylor Greene. What a proud moment for Republicans' everywhere.

Isn't "GOP brain trust" an oxymoron these days?

So the GOP will punish them if they obey the law?

In other news, President Biden can barely find his way to the White House.

It's just another case of Republicans trying to control our lives.

Well, that throws a whole new light on the issue. It's a real justification for the threats being made by the brain trust.

So let me get this straight, TCT starts a whole thread a form letter being sent to a former CEO, that was wrong on Google?

Too bad Joe Biden didn't Google how not to cause inflation, high gas prices, and how to leave country in orderly fashion.

Furthermore more he should have Googled Carter Administration fail.

Yes. That further justifies the threats by the brain trust. They really had no choice.

Then, that settles it. The tech firms need to be punished.
