Tbh this is probably something Trump, 79, will forget he said in a week or so and no one will take any action.
Oh no, there's going to be all sorts of government contracts paid out for this. THEN nothing will be done.
"There was no indication the Patriot Games would pit competitors against each other in a fight to the death, as of this writing." Lmaoo
Funny thing is, if they decided policy this way I'd guess it'd be more representative than the House of Representatives for California.
It will be for the poor immigrants to stay in the country. We already know the rich ones need to just pay up.
yeah like that ball room
Wow, now even Snopes has the “give us your email for access” bullshit?! How disappointing.
I even turned off my adblocker for a bit to read this and there are so many pop ups after closing each one. The enshittification continues.
No thanks
This is what happens when everyone uses adblock
Adblocking is a defense against malicious advertisers and scammers which makes it a security tool.
Blaming adblock is like blaming people for going to the bathroom during commercials.
Resume viewing. Resume viewing. Resume viewing.
If the online ad industry was just about serving ads you could say that I guess. Early Internet ads were usually placed pretty intrusively on websites, and very soon went from annoyance to security risk as ads became a disturbingly common vehicle for malware delivery. Today malware via ads is far less common but an ad isn't just an ad -- now ads are powered by, and an agent of, a surveillance network.
If an ad could just be an ad it would actually be safe to roll without an ad blocker; I would infact do so as well unless a site was really egregious with their ad placement, I want to support websites doing good work. The Internet ad industry forced us into blocking their ads. My adblock never turns off, even for sites I'd very much like to support, because ads are just a pile of malicious code. Ad blockers would have stayed niche techy things if the ad industry wasn't scummy as hell.
So anyways, I feel I got a little rant-y. My point is that the ad industry themselves fed the demand for ad blockers. Ads themselves and website placement didn't get egregious because of ad blockers, ad blockers became common because ads and ad placement got egregious.
Well he didn't say it per se, as he had an AI version of him announce it officially. Wish I was joking.
Trump is the first virtual president
They're giving Trump and his family busy work to do while people like Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth do more heinous things. It will be as pathetic as their military parade.
It will happen…it will just be partisan, shitty and tacky when it does.
