Outright fascist.
Outright fascist.
Propaganda works. Period.

Forgot the quote marks around “friends”.
Srs wtf If you want to live in russia, do that but everyone’s going to be part of one or more mafias, that’s how they do.
Got him confused with the NY AG from a few years ago. Not him.
After working at a corporate law firm, Vance moved to San Francisco to work in the tech industry. He served as a principal at Peter Thiel’s venture capital firm, Mithril Capital.[21]
In 2016, Harper published Vance’s book, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. It was on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2016 and 2017. It was a finalist for the 2017 Dayton Literary Peace Prize[22] and winner of the 2017 Audie Award for Nonfiction. The New York Times called it “one of the six best books to help understand Trump’s win”.[3] The Washington Post called him the “voice of the Rust Belt”,[2] while The New Republic criticized him as “liberal media’s favorite white trash–splainer” and the “false prophet of blue America.”[23] Economist William Easterly, a West Virginia native, criticized the book, writing, “Sloppy analysis of collections of people—coastal elites, flyover America, Muslims, immigrants, people without college degrees, you name it—has become routine. And it’s killing our politics.”[24]
So bad home life, goes to Yale Law, works with noted shitbag Peter Thiel and is now doing evil out loud and proud. Great.
The nature of Russia’s wartime government means that there’s no guarantee that the Central Bank’s figures are completely accurate. Large swathes of data are no longer made public, while government departments have a clear incentive to present a picture rosier than reality.
The article goes on to suggest the “bumper year” was due to Putin dumping a lot of gold into the banks to make numbers go up. “state spending”.
Propaganda works. This is straight-up restaurant-quality propaganda with no proof and no way to prove the claim. Are we actually going to believe the russian economy is booming? The fuck? No. Did China slip a few billion in the ol’ Putin hat for good measure? Sure, maybe, why not. Are they just straight-up cooking the books for the clicks? Very likely. Booming economy? HAHAha - no.
An incompetent traitor judge stays on the bench.

Article: The changes come as Republican lawmakers step up efforts to punish businesses that consider climate change and the environment in their operations.
TL;DR: RepubliQans fucking everything up to destroy the planet, yet again
Comments: Dang Bank of America! oooo that bank! banks, right?! Let’s all make sure not to vote for the current Democrat
Member that time when Microsoft got dragged in federal court for ten years before they eventually decided Microsoft was a monopoly for forcing their browser on everyone and then sweet fuck all happened to them for it?
Well the judiciary sure has changed - now they’re way more computer savvy and they . . . checks earpice . . . I’m sorry, that should be: they’re just as fucking clueless as they were thirty years ago if not even more so. We’re screwed, goodnight.
“comma, republiQans”
[Dionne] Warwick was the first to respond on X, denying she was going and calling the PAC’s announcement “absolutely ridiculous.”
Soon afterward, Martin Sheen, who played the president on the TV series “The West Wing,” took to Instagram.
“I do not endorse RFK Jr. nor will I be attending his party,” Sheen said. He added that he’s “whole heartedly supporting Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket in 2024.”
Cripes so they just said a bunch of people who definitely weren’t coming were coming and now that they’re not we’re taking our ball and going home? Classy.
vile! AAAAHHHHHHh dead
We’re in the golden era of batshit incompetent fascism.
Could be worse.
You could be a decent country if you’d cut through the gerrymanders and the corporate lobbying constantly pushing the worst of the worst to the forefront of every damn decision and conversation.
We’re aware. We call them “Republicans” and “Fox News” and we’ve been dealing with their propaganda and dirty tricks for 50 years. With limited success.
So, let’s recap: Polls are wrong. That’s a given, but we use polls all the time, so why do we do that if they’re wrong? Because they’re a particular kind of wrong that varies over time. Still wrong though.
Imagine thinking “reality television” was reality. In fact, that’s how we watch “reality television” because that’s how our brains work - we “buy” the premise of the show so we can enjoy it. It’s not reality though. It’s highly produced and manipulated by editing, production choices, music, etc. Same thing with polls.
Here’s the poll results. As opposed to the article about them.
The methodology of the poll is a broken link. But we can follow the sitemap to how they do it. It’s fucked up. Basically, they have a group of pre-selected, “recruited” participants who agree to take polls every so often.
Full stop - do you agree to take polls? For money? no money? It’s weird. At least it’s not reliant 100% on cold-calling people who actually answer unknown callers and plying them with 20 questions on how they feel about The Politics.
Respondents have been recruited over the years, and they take our surveys frequently. The panel provides a relatively efficient method of data collection compared with fresh samples because the participants have already agreed to take part in more surveys. The major effort required with a fresh sample – making an initial contact, persuading respondents to take part and gathering the necessary demographic information for weighting – is not needed once a respondent has joined a panel.
(Emphasis added)
Also, if they don’t have a computer, they’ll give them a tablet to take the survey on. Which, to be honest, seems fucking adorable. But I digress.
At any rate, There were 5,200 pre-selected polling drones who were asked questions about the “Israel-Hamas” war. That’s right. This is a poll about Ukraine-Russia that these people have beent taking since January of 2023. The most recent version changed it to “Israel-Hamas” poll, where they just tacked on at the end “oh by the way, how do you also feel about Ukraine?”
Which is just super fucked up. In many ways.
Cardinal Scum: Lord Google! Our Premium service is only making 8.5 Billion net profit per year, a miserable increase of 25% from last year!
Lord Google: These peasant eyeballs have disappointed me. Force the plebians to ingest propaganda as in the olden times! And as for the so-called-Premium subs . . . we will crush their purchasing power!
Cardinal Scum: Yes Lord Google! Brilliant!
Lord Google: Muwahhahahahahah!!!
Cardinal Scum: (hesitantly) Heh heh . . hee heee heeh hehehehh yesssss . . yes
Absolutely the most hated. The marketing chuds are gaslighting by claiming to be less hated. Nah, nah brah. Seriously the most hated. By FAR.
