  • stupid republicans. they were convinced that by putting the squeeze on pornhub they could dictate how that site operates when

    1. this isn’t the web 1.0 anymore. websites have been able to geoblock content for at least 20 years now

    2. vpns exist. it’s not going to stop people in texas from still visiting the site, nor is it the only free streaming porn site and

    3. unless a credit card or drivers license is required, age verification is easy to get around. “this content is restricted to adults 18 and over (21 in utah). by clicking yes you acknowledge that you are of legal age by penalty of perjury. are you 18? (yes) (no)”. I was on adult sites at 16.

    this law proves these people have no goddamned clue how the internet works.







  • I don’t think they’re trying to help trump per se. I absolutely believe they’re trying to foster outrage politics. and they are willfully ignorant of what they are reporting just so they can gain/maintain access. and they are so scared shitless of being labeled “liberal” that they are bending over so far backwards they’re facing front again that they normalize or equate everything a republican does to a democrat when it’s clear one is not the same level of scandal.

    these are the same people who tell us that the people who frequent “this ohio/illinois/indiana/iowa diner” are more real americans than people who live in cities are.

    doing all of that benefits trump. but I think that’s a side effect of the real problem. when you are catering to a homogenous audience and trying to pass it off as something that is the pulse of the country you’re going to get this type of unbalanced coverage.




  • that’s because when political parties primary presidential incumbents, that party loses the white house. you want to put trump and his christian nationalist wet dream project 2025 in power?

    besides there’s the other fact that no other democrat was inclined to run for president, nor are any of them able to now. signature requirements to run in the super tuesday states were due last thursday iirc. so the only way biden will not be the candidate is if he has to step away from the presidency between now and the convention.

    biden is the candidate. if you have a problem with that you should have done something about that in 2016.
