It’s not like in the days of cable people wanted Comcast or Verizon to censor channels or tag clarifying information on broadcasts—not sure why people want Facebook to be censoring third-party posts or controlling user content. (Beyond actual threats, harassment, incitement to violence, etc)

If you were attorney general for the third largest state in the country, you’re probably at least minimally “qualified” to be AG at the federal level.
But it sure doesn’t hurt to have the tailwinds of being nominated after a disgraced, coke-head pedophile.

Stronger safety next—at least Medicare, Social security and FEMA (when you need it)
Cheaper stuff/less inflation
- all-of-the-above energy
- no tariffs
Don’t need autarky, but chip security
What party does this?

It’s funny to see maga on other sites lose their shit: “why aren’t there any moderators here to get rid of the garbage posts and spam—this is unusable!”
But I guess the flip side is that I can’t say “penis” here without getting my posts flagged, and that takes out like half of my best limericks.

Pretty funny that Nick Fuentes is apoplectic that Trump isn’t racist or homophonic or antisemitic enough.

Trump inheriting America at height of its economic, military and political power.
GDP, market and employment at record highs; inflation finally under control
Russia humiliated and weakened; China well into demographic decline; green shoots of peace in ME
Let’s hope he doesn’t fuck it up again
