Not earthshattering stuff, but this is just another indicator of the pompous, ignorant, completely empty-headed jackasses that Democrats send to Congress these days.
Monopoly on DERP: Elizabeth Warren Sounds Off on Apple iPhone and Gets Blasted

Leave it to Elizabeth Warren to focus on an issue that's 1/1024th as important as the many problems facing our nation.
We have a border crisis, average Americans feeling the price crunch of high inflation, and growing threats of war but Chief Spitting Bull is focused on the color of text message bubbles.
Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) ~ It’s time to break up @Apple’s smartphone monopoly.
Also, c’mon, let’s stop leaving green text people out of the group chats. It’s just not right.

You either listened to all that, stabbed your ears with the nearest sharp object about halfway through, or couldn't bring yourself to click it.
Here's a quick summary:
When Apple iPhone users text each other, it uses Apple's iMessage service, and your text messages are surrounded by a blue bubble. When a non-iPhone user messages you, it doesn't use iMessage and your text messages appear in a green bubble.
In Senator Warren's mind this is greenbubblephobic ... or something like that. Apple is 'ruining relationships'. Yep, she said that.
Seriously, bitch? THIS isn't just stupid ... THIS is AOC stupid.
And while we're at it, Lie-a-watha, let's look at iphone vs. android usage by the numbers in America. I did a quick Internet search and came up with this 2022 data - an estimated 133.4 million Americans own iphones (53%) and an estimated 118.1 million Americans own android smart phones (47%). And worldwide, Android is estimated to have a 70.7% market share. So ... surprise, surprise ... the numbers do NOT support your fantasies. Woof, Liz ... what did you teach at Hahvaad - basket weaving?
#MrD Sheriff, Dragon Co Texas #Texit (@LordotDragons) ~ *google* green text people: "Green text messages on an iPhone indicate that the message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage."
So, people are still getting the message, but it has a green background and that's a problem the government needs to fix ... #FFS.
For F**k's Sake indeed!
That's right. Apple is not blocking text messages or anything of that sort. They're just a different color.
Back in the day, Democrats loved segregating people by color, but that was quite a bit worse than text message color schemes. We digress.
Oh, Democrats are still very much into segregating people by color-coding them, don'tcha know! It's called racism born of the KKK-genetic makeup of the Democrat Party.
Physics Geek (@physicsgeek) ~ I can guarantee that this sounded just as stupid in the original smoke signals.
But are the smoke signals green if she's using an Android blanket?
It all seems like an awfully ridiculous thing for a U.S. Senator to be focused on. Are we supposed to believe people actually care what color text message bubbles are?
Enguerrand VII de Coucy (@ingelramdecoucy) ~ People with green text bubbles aren’t actually “people” in the technical sense.
Okay, fine. There might be a few out there. (Yes, they're joking.)
Scottergate (@Scottergate) ~ Green text people are the devil. Apple doesn't have a smart phone monopoly, but Democrats have a dumb Senator monopoly.
Apparently, Democrat politicians know for a fact that the Democrat rank-and-file are irretrievably STOOOPID, so they feel empowered to blurt out any moronic notion that is spawned in their methane-infused craniums and have no worries that these stinky turds will not be wholly and gleefully swallowed by their constituents.
It takes some effort to be the dumbest in a population of politicians, but Warren is putting up a heckuva run for the title. ...
