I’m 100% absolutely judging anyone still taking a paycheck from FB in this day and age. It speaks volumes about their character.

Nobody who isn’t too far gone on the Trump Train thinks the bribery story is anything but horse shit. That’s what “unlikely to cost him the election” means.

His whole schtick is “it was all a Russian hoax!” with Trump. He is the opposite of objective. And wrong.

I don’t read the Tesla subreddit, but HN is so full of Musk sycophants that I’m sure a more pro-Tesla place exists.

Lol. Although I guess that’s true in a “not letting Trumpers forget he is a Russian stooge” kind of sense.

It’s The Federalist. No one needs to read further than the URL to know how separate from reality everything the piece is.

How many roofs of cars from those manufactures were torn off during the drive home from the dealer?

Guessing the NYTimes has less than 3 people on its board that would be put on trial for war crimes at the ICC if the US didn’t forbid it, which isn’t something an org with Yoo, Kissinger, and Rumsfeld can say.

Geez, people are really going the extra mile trying to justify something that 100% happened because Trump heard about how the TikTok Teens ruined the Tulsa rally.

Ancestry.com was founded by BYU grad students and is based in Provo. It couldn’t be more “Mormon”.

Sorry, too busy writing down everyone who doesn’t think “silence is complicity” just in case their resume comes by my desk someday.

Interesting that you choose Watts and Compton. Almost like you choose two random neighborhoods you believe to be disadvantaged.

How exactly do your friends volunteer in this two places that just happen to show up in Dr Dre songs from the early 90’s?
