Carefully done study clearly shows X and TikTok pushing pro-AfD content to Germans whose own selections of who to follow are neutral. In other words, heavy pro-AfD thumb on the scale by Elon Musk and CCP. www.niemanlab.org/2025/02/in-g...

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

He who rambles on about Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer’s dick size, windmill cancer, and turning Gaza into a real-estate play, and thinks he’s saving the county, should have his head examined.

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.
