As the hyenas pick at the corpse of the once proud United States, they occasionally snap at each other.

What I meant to say is "Will have more funding than they could ever dream of. " Small donors do not matter. They will happily take money from normies, but that would never change who they work for.

Do they though? A party that enables and empowers the oligarchy will have all the funding they need. Musk donated north of 270 million to Trump in the last election. Similarly most of he rich tech bros donated to Trump’s inauguration fund.

If they take care of the “voting problem” while in office, they have no further need for their base.

I’d stop shopping there if I had a time machine that could take me back to 2003.

*Hey look, this guy brought a rifle to a drone fight. *

The thing Joe Rogan has going for him is that he is friends with funny people and has them on his show. Just scrolling through this guy’s stuff it seems like it will just be depressing political news.

It’s good that a leftist podcast is getting attention, but unless it is occasionally entertaining I can’t do it right now. Oliver and Stewart do a good job of making me laugh at depressing topics… maybe my elder millennial is showing.

Two doses of the measles vaccine are approximately 97% effective at preventing measles. Certainly not 100%, but not too shabby.

Love Bill. The Monday morning podcast got me through the pandemic.

After an onslaught of bad news it’s novel to see something positive happening.

Podcasts are super popular right now. Theo Von, Joe Rogan, Kill Tony, Shane Gillis, Matt McCusker all have a huge audience. They are all pro Trump; Tony famously spoke at a Trump rally, and Rogan is constantly pushing a pro conservative message.

Social networks have all gone to the right, as their leadership stands to benefit. Most of our major newspapers and entertainment networks are also owned by billionaires.

They own the messaging right now, and people aren’t thinking critically because they are either distracted or don’t know how.

Yeah I don’t have high hopes for our institutions, and I’m probably in a strong state of denial. I just want something to hold out for.

Best case: Put out a warrant for their arrest. Step two, wait for the doj to not do their job. Raise hell about it, hopefully American citizens still care, get Congress to do their job, impeach the president (again)

That’s all predicated on citizens knowing enough about how the government is supposed to work to be outraged.

They have to try though.

He’s deeply troubled by all of this, and incredibly disappointed. The Republicans are really going to need to consider that.

I’ve worked on projects for the government as a contractor. There is SQL; SQL as far as the eye can see. I’m sure the NSA has some novel solutions to crunching shittons of big data, but day to day, at least in my experience, it is a lot of relational CRUD and reporting queries.

For the curious, it does clearly exist:

Hopefully it wasn’t deleted, deleted. Normally I feel like there would be backups, but I could see our fearless leader ordering it ALL to be permanently wiped such that recovery would be impossible.

What if it was awful?

Dollars are the new cents

Save us plumber!

Looks great!

These people are supposed to be representing their constituents; it isn’t supposed to be an episode of Jerry Springer. I’m surprised they aren’t literally throwing chairs.
