    Between this, JD Vance’s “racist lies for the greater good” stance and the right’s desire to make it illegal for doctor groups to endorse evidence based medicine for trans people the GOP has just gone into full fascist propaganda mode.

      Well, your first two sentences are actually valid when you divorce them from the current context and remarry it with the reality of the bad stuff being ads, paid misinformation, and general enshittification 🤷

          That much is true, of course. Everywhere including his own ramblings do that, though, so that’s not really characteristic of Google specifically 🤷

      And then Vance is President? I’m not sure that’s better, all the same horrible views, somewhat more coherent, has no idea how a human behaves, is on the record that if he’d been Pence he’d have helped with the coup

        The only reason Pence grew a backbone is he truly believed he would be murdered if he’d left the Capitol, and replaced with The Speaker of The House. It wasn’t honor, or duty, or courage, it was purely self interest in survival.

      The terrifying thing is that thanks to the electoral college and FPTP, he has as good a chance as Kamala despite being grossly unpopular

      We need reform but as long as we keep pretending that the Republican party is a legitimate political party, that’s not gonna happen

        I think there will be multiple lawsuits (Georgia, North and South Carolina, etc.,) and shady election poll shenanigans, and SCOTUS will appoint him King. Like what they did to Gore.

    This reminds me of a girl I went to school with in like 2nd grade. She had clearly just learned the word “sue,” and proceeded to run around the playground shrieking “I’ll sue you!” at the other children.

    It just amazes me that anyone can support such an obviously damaged, antisocial person. No one would tolerate this behavior from their teenage child. Well, no one who isn’t rich enough to be able to ignore consequences that normal people would face.

    “I’m the best, I’m the most popular, I’m the prettiest, I throw the best parties, I have the best clothes, car, phone friends, and everybody loves me best! And anyone who doesn’t agree is a fat loser who is probably in Chess Club and Band! And GAY!”

    How can anyone support a spoiled, entitled, narcisssitic, psychopathic overgrown high school mean girl for the most powerful office on the planet? My theory? 40 years of Jerry Springer and Judge Judy.

      How can anyone support him? He’s normalizing their shitty behavior and they love him for it.

    See, this is an example of why he looked Putin. If you publish negative stories about Putin, regardless of truth, you’re going to fall out a window. Trump wants that.

    We do live in a world where simply mentioning the bad shit people do can get you in trouble.

    Over on another forum site I mentioned that border security in Egypt made a British 15 year old girl strip in an airport and I received a 3 day ban off admins for “Inciting hatred based on identity or religion”.

    I never mentioned religion or any identity. I just said “Egypt made a 15 year old girl strip naked in an airport and that was a pretty shitty thing to do.”

    Unless someone posts the actual transcript of exactly what he said, I just don’t believe it.

    I’m 99% sure if I looked into this, it isn’t what he said. That’s how it’s gone whenever I’ve looked into other stories like this.
