Disinformation and whataboutism? That's quite a day for you, sir.

A deliberate misstatement. The talking point is "Republicans are destroying democracy." Which they certainly are.

Naah, it's more fun this way.

It will always trip me out how Mitt Romney went from being the GOP nominee for president in 2012 to a reviled RINO in less than a decade by not moving. He's the same guy with the same positions and the party shot far to the right.

Ah, thanks. I missed that. I guess I need to update my "all these brands are really all owned by XYZ" chart again.

I don't usually want to open LinkedIn at all. I wonder if they paid MS for the shortcut?

A similar tactic was used in the movie Patriot Games.

You have to read to the last paragraph to confirm what you already knew: he's a republican.

Jagged Little Pill is the first album that comes to mind for this question, but if I'm honest I'd skip the track "Perfect".

Well stated. I think a lot of corporate action nowadays, especially with any industry connected to the internet, is based on similar logic. "How can we squeeze maximum (profit/market share/growth)? If we go too far, we can always undo it thanks to the internet."

I wonder how long it'll be until BMW reintroduces the Heated Seats subscription, or GM changes their legalese to allow them to sell your driving data to 3rd party companies? Those corporate moneygrabs were rolled back due to consumer outrage recently but they'll probably be back in some form in the next five years.
