I’m not even going to get into the number of Trump enforcers and MAGA loyalists who are leading the project, all you need to know is; It is an official, high profile Republican project. Trump is the GOP and vice versa. End of song

All day every day I bitch about this. An entire industry based on fraud has forced the end users to change how we communicate instead of powers that be stopping the fraudsters. And as long as were gonna keep using it for polling, too, maybe it's fucking important?

I am once again asking you to consider that an entire information ecosystem established as the primary form of communication over a hundred years and allegedly regulated by the federal government was destroyed by scammers virtually overnight and we just don’t, like, ever talk about it

Yeah. It's not the end of the world, but it's mildly irritating that they just refer to him as "King Charles". I do not have a king. He is "King Charles III of the United Kingdom."

I’m once again begging American news channels to remember that Charles is not the king of America and we don’t need wall to wall coverage of the British monarchy
