Search Results: advise on asking her out

Government prosecutors are seeking a dramatic breakup of the company that owns Facebook, asking for a judge to force Meta to spin off mobile apps Instagram and WhatsApp. Instagram's $32 billion US ad revenue in 2024 represented 48.4% of Meta's total revenue that year, according to Emarketer.

Trump has been getting advised that he should let the EU prosecute these antitrust cases that way they can take the blame and he can adopt the savior role.

Some advisors have also told him to extract concessions favorable to right-wing media in exchange for dropping the case.

He has also received advice that he should look to destroy monopolistic social media companies to create space for his Truth Social app.

Paul Manafort walking onto the floor of the Republican National Convention possibly illustrated that the GOP under Trump has become thoroughly corrupted into an authoritarian party aligned with foreign dictators.

Manafort first advised and then managed Trump’s 2016 campaign. A long-time Republican political operative, he came to the job after the Ukrainian people threw his client, Viktor Yanukovych out of Ukraine’s presidency in 2014. Yanukovych was backed by Russian president Vladimir Putin, who was determined to prevent Ukraine from turning toward Europe and to install a puppet government that would extend his power over the neighboring country. Beginning in 2004, Manafort had worked to install and then keep Yanukovych and his party in power. His efforts won him a fortune thanks to his new friends, especially Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska. Then in 2014, after months of popular protests, Ukrainians ousted Yanukovych from power in what is known as the Revolution of Dignity.

Yanukovych fled to Russia, and Putin invaded Ukraine’s Crimea and annexed it, prompting the United States and the European Union to impose economic sanctions on Russia itself and also on specific Russian businesses and oligarchs, prohibiting them from doing business in United States territories. These sanctions crippled Russia and froze the assets of key Russian oligarchs.

Now without his main source of income, Manafort owed about $17 million to Deripaska. By 2016, his longtime friend and business partner Roger Stone was advising Trump’s floundering presidential campaign, and Manafort stepped in to remake it. He did not take a salary but reached out to Deripaska through one of his Ukrainian business partners, Russian operative Konstantin Kilimnik, immediately after landing the job, asking Kilimnik how “we” could use the appointment “to get whole,” and he made sure that the Russian oligarch to whom he owed the most money knew about his close connection with the Trump campaign.
