Kudos 👍🏻Mr.Jeff Bezos

So sorry CIA Bezos, it must be hard for you to cover all the bad Shi..you have done now that your God Father Brennan is not around... Will you be visiting GITMO any time soon.?

Question for MelaniaTrump. In reference to your BeBest campaign; is JeffBezos 'Beign Best', in how he's responding to AMI, and by extension, Trump and SaudiArabia? Oh, a little Help for you. The Answer is an Emphatic Yes!!! Thank you, JeffBezos!

Washington Post Owner Jeff Bezos...

Jeff Bezos cheated and this crap is his fault.

National Enquirer: You can't offer to NOT strip Jeff Bezos of his dignity, when he has ALREADY been stripped of his dignity. 😯

It's sad that such a garbage tabloid like NatEnquirer still exists yet Weekly World News went under. I'd much rather read about Bat Boy's whereabouts than some billionaire's extramarital affairs.

Awesome

Trump + Pecker == Black Cube

What does Trump have to do with this story Nothing, that’s what!! This is terrible journalism!! If you have something on Trump to link him to this story, let’s have it! Just bringing up his name to insinuate a link is pathetic!!

Aka your Boss!

Fahrenthold Democracy dies in the darkness. Cockroaches like David Pecker die under the bright lights.

Thank you Bezos, the Virginia fiasco is off the news.

Is this the kind of sleazy society we want to live in. Pass laws that people own their data. Enough

This times do sounds like the 70s, journalistic blackmail, Nixon style president anger, and crazy battles between leaders of industry and the yellow press, crazy times to be alone, maybe stressful, but never dull

Thank JeffBezos for being a whistle blower. It seems the National Enquirer has yet again engaged in extortion to suppress a story. More power to Bezos & thanks to all of Amazon for their great services.

nytimes WSJ maddow NicolleDWallace wolfblitzer JoeNBC Lawrence Anyone want to take odds on whether Donald Trump was behind the Jeff Bezos black mail from the National Enquirer! I’m just saying

Fahrenthold Anything to distract from Virginia.

I'm supposed to be concerned about this oligarch's privacy while the WaPo prints innuendo and downright fake bullshit (prop or not) Fuck that guys 'time' - tax the rich!

SMALL men always get their comeuppance.

'Bezos went on to say in the statement that “any personal embarrassment AMI could cause me takes a back seat because there’s a much more important matter involved here,” Bezos wrote. “If in my position I can’t stand up to this kind of extortion, how many people can?” Exactly! 👏

Why in the world would Jeff Bezos use a smart phone to send d*ck pics? It boggles! 📸🤡🍆🤢🤣

Bezos blog Target's competition national enquirer.

It’s about to go down!

Hoisted with his own PECKERd ?

Amazon CEO AND Washington Post OWNER*

👒💁‍♀️.JeffBezos Without Truth, Facts, Accuracy in the News Media, our Democratic republic becomes Russia. 👏🤜🤛✊👏

As we know the folks at National Inquirer are good friends with realDonaldTrump . Birds of a feather...

AMI & trump should pick on people of their own size...puny. Enquirer realDonaldTrump

what’s the big deal? we all know it looks like this:

Wouldn’t it be amazing if the National Enquirer sells its Jeff Bezos “merchandise” on Amazon? 😆😆

TheReynoldsPamphlet

excited for the POTUS tweets on this

Go Bezos!

Bezos said the Enquirer made the blackmail threat after he began looking into how the tabloid acquired text messages that revealed his relationship with Lauren Sanchez, a former TV anchor.

What kind of a News outlet would try to use extortion for people to lie? One that should be investigated by the Mueller team! One that should be banned as a News outlet because they have no ethics, no morals! It NOT news it is propaganda!

Good for you JeffBezos - you are to be commended for standing up to this horrid, disgusting, vile rag! You are entitled to a “personal life” and it is no one else’s business!

National Enquirer & Comp. could probably have a better luck squeezing few dollars from Bezos if his wife wasn’t planning 2 leave him. But why people want to know JeffBezos private life & pay 4 it?

People across the country should call their 'family-friendly' grocery stores that stock the trash rag NationalEnquirer and demand that they remove it. ThursdayThoughts

Hoping NewYorkStateAG opens criminal investigation into AMI and Pecker. It's time to take this kind of yellow rag crap down!! NationalEnquirer

AMI has been blackmailing Bezos to stop investing them or lease Bezos's dick pics and more. Extortion. Extortion. Extortion. Thank you, JeffBezos what you wrote in the conclusion touched me, best wishes for you and everyone in WaPo.

ami probably getting $$$ from Saudis via kushner

Nice job, JeffBezos. What you do in your private life is nobody’s business and certainly not AMI’s. I hope this will lead to an end to their dirty practices. Thank you for standing up, even if this may lead to personal embarrassment, but your action speaks more than that.

Unbelievable. And disgusting. Jeff Bezos’ extramarital affair is not a matter of public interest. Period.

Hardly an accusation. AMI spelled it out, explicitly.

Fahrenthold I guess Jeff Bezos felt that millions of Americans have a vested interest in the way that David Pecker, AMI, and the National Enquirer goes about the business of stifling the vested interest of the American public.

No wonder Impotus was in bed with that trash tabloid.

When you have Billions & put your junk in photo on your camera your privacy is gone. In this date & time someone getting that photo will try to use it to get a portion of those billions. And that’s a fact.

NatEnquirer is one of the last bastions of finding real news. They r the pulse of the culture. They do NOT play 2 a pimp, except in some circumstances with a very powerful person, who is also being played by PsyOps CorpMiL OpChaos, MKULTRA etc

Fahrenthold Wild!

jeffbezos is mentally ill. He is divorcing his wife for a fling, BUT wait,-- look at his EYES in his photos. Diabolical WholeFoods is just as diabolical if not worse, as before crazy jeff bezos bought them.

Having 'F*** You' money comes in handy, and you need quite a bit apparently.

Written by 'Washington Post Staff' Awkward covering the boss's blockbuster claim of 'extortion' & his suggestion it has links to WaPo coverage of POTUS & Saudi Arabia.

CoI he owns this paper

NE still doing Trump’s bidding I see

Part of the agreement they were trying to extort is that they DID NOT HACK or STEAL the photos. Translation: THEY DID!

WATCH: Jeff Bezos's Washington Post JournoBots 🤣:

Sounds like a job for the FBI

So proud of JeffBezos & for standing up to authoritarians &RU mob oligarchs trying to undermine our democracy—Bravo, y’all.

Hmm... wonder who could be behind extortion of Bezos? Can we think of anyone who doesn’t like him? Can we think of Individual 1, oops, I mean 1 individual?

Fahrenthold Not really an accusation as opposed to a fact bc he PUBLISHED THE EMAILS.....

Just buy the company, Jeff

Fahrenthold Prison

Hmm 🤔 who would want to harm Bezos and is linked to Pecker? Anyone have any thoughts?

Fahrenthold It's worth asking how they got those photos. I would guess they were hacked. Who or what entity is known for having an army of hackers? 🤔

WATCH: Jeff Bezos's Washington Post JournoBots 🤣:

“accuses”, or “exposes”? It’s blatant!

He has the emails

For Trump to use from his friend Mr. Pecker.

What goes around, comes around. karma

Bravo Jeff Bezos !!

Please! Who HASN’T sent racy texts or pics?!

Trump has a team of people that dig for extortion dirt on his enemies. The Enquirer is part of it.

BEZOS BLASTS PECKER IN WILD OUTBURST

Karma...

Reported by his own paper...LMAO, what garbage the WP has become.

How does jive with burying a sexual assault story so as not to hurt a Dem candidate?

The richest man in world sent 'below the belt' photos to Sanchez

Inquiring minds want to blackmail it would seem.

And also the sole owner of your publication, you should DEFINITELY mention that every time.

I pray that Bezos demolishes National Enquirer, AMI and David Pecker. Wipe them out. Scums of the world.

An Amazonian cock, yes
