Yeah, his "facts" are pretty weak. "Would have" caused gas to be $7 a gallon? Last time I checked, there is no time machine that predicts the future, and this is speculation, not fact.

This guy is filled with nothing but negativity, so I don't really blame Apple for rejecting the app. It provides no value to the platform. But, to be fair, censorship is pretty bad too. (Arguably, to be censorship, you have to be trying to say something, where clearly this guy has nothing to say. He just uses words with negative connotations and relates them to an opponent. Yawn. People caught onto this like 20 years ago, dude.)

Also, perhaps a more relevant question: who the fuck downloads a cell phone app to read about a specific politician?

He also didn't even pause to consider that Apple might not like politics and started accusing them of supporting the Democrats. This guy is a nutjob.
