Well yeah, we can’t allow government agencies to work properly, because then it would invalidate their claim that all government agencies are shitty and inefficient.
*He cheated us and we want our money.
Well yeah. It makes sense when you remember that these people buy that bad things happen because God is unhappy with us. The economy is suffering, because we let drag queens read to children, and that offends God. It’s just the same magical thinking as followers of Apollo trying to appease their god. But now it’s being hijacked by much bigger and more complex political and propoganda machine.
They have a browser plug-in. I use it on Firefox on my desktop and on my Android phone. My uses it on Chrome on both as well.
I started using Kagi. Yeah, I have to pay for it. But we’re paying for Google too, kagi is just more honest about how.
… For non-rich people.
Exactly, a millennial has now clue about the newfangled kids stuff. Just hit “close friends”
Isn’t it more like a network of several billion dumb computers?
Something definitely happened in the 70s. The civil rights movement of the 60s, seemed to spark a principal skinner moment. Plus Watergate and push back against Vietnam. “Could we be out of touch? No it’s the children”
Communism’s boogeyman effect was wearing off, and the conservatives needed some new material. Racism is always a good lever. So you get the southern strategy, Powell memorandum, Heritage Foundation, and the seeds for what will become Fox News.
I think there’s a good argument for the early 70s as a starting point.
Eh, it’s the culmination of decades of planning and scheming by the Heritage Foundation and others. Donald Trump is just a symptom. Sometimes a single symptom overshadows the whole disease.
Ummm, it’s just a rule. What’s to prevent any future president from undoing the rule? It needs to be a law to protect people, and good luck with this house.
Wasn’t the first, Ross Perot had a huge following here in rural Utah for that very reason.
Conservative minds are more fear based. Narcissistic, sociopathic minds run for office. Fear based sociopathic and narcissistic minds aren’t flexible enough to see something from someone else’s point of view and assume that their own view is the only logical choice. Therefore they project.

Aluminum then?
But it’s not greed! It’s increasing share holder value! /s
The entire selling point of cable was no signal loss and ad free… Then the point of satellite was more options and ad free. Those sneaky ads keep finding their way in.
I’m convinced that Jan 6th wouldn’t have happened if pro sports hadn’t gone on hiatus during covid. Before covid a lot of people found their tribes via sports (or NASCAR). When the events stopped or got lame, the people needed something Trump and Fox News jumped on that. If you watch Trump rallies they’re basically tailgaters with a new sport.
Hear, hear. What a modest proposal. 😉
