And we have fucking computers to do most of the heavy lifting!

They did, though, on January 6th! They were looking for her and others.

Vested interest in any government that doesn't threaten their wealth. Capitalists always thrive in fascism.

And exposure from the Epstein Files being unsealed.

Maybe not, but capitalism and fascism want the same things. They don't care about Biden's age, just their wealth and not supporting anyone who threatens that. That's why all the narrative around Biden's age is all we get out of that debate. The wealthy own all means of communication.

There's a reason the saying, "the revolution will not be televised," is relevant. I think you may be missing the plot a little as no one thinks CNN drugged or did anything else to Biden. But the media can make it so the national attention is on Biden. They want him replaced or they want tRump to win.

They're playing chess while a majority of Americans are fighting about who gets the white pieces and who gets the red ones [cause they're playing checkers]!

Ding ding ding! Biden is a threat to the wealthy so the smear campaign is rich capitalists trying to replace Biden with someone they like more, or get tRump back in so they can get tax breaks. They care not for the dangers of fascism cause they'll still make profit, but with fewer regulations and faster.

Also, probably many of those implicated in the Epstein files are extremely wealthy and don't want that info taking center stage at anytime. The wealthy like to see those bank account zeroes increase! Soon as you threaten that, they try to jail, replace, or "remove" them using their near infinite means. The same ones named in those files likely also own local news groups and can influence local and/or regional news.

I'll give up on YouTube before I give up my ad blocks or 3rd party apps. Fuck off Google.

Begun, the AI Wars have.

I don't blame it for cutting off earth. This place is toxic and self destructive.

Discourse evaporated when the rightwing and Faux "News" declared "compromise" as blasphemy. That's why so many moderate Republicans will still vote along party lines, despite knowing the candidate is batshit crazy. To vote Democrat is to commit suicide to those people.

Edit: was trying to get this comment done before kid woke up from nap and barely made it. Fixed the faux pa.

Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a "get rich quick" scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it's high time we reminded you/them of that fact.

Ya know, I've seen a lot of posts regarding Elon Musk spam in this community, and calls to "ban" them, yet every week we get gloom and doom posts like this when some new subset of the world starts seeing this shit. I'd really like to see a pinned message about the fix, which is...

1. Install Firefox or a derivative, and add the uBlock Origin extension.

If you visit YouTube and see the pop-up, the page isn't loading the video content, or it just seems to be acting strange, do the following:

1. Click on the uBlock Origin brown shield in your extensions.
2. Click the three little gears icon to enter the settings.
3. Make sure you're in the Filter lists section from the top and click the Purge all caches button below it.
4. Click the Update now button.
5. Wait until the filter update completes.
6. Refresh the tab(s) that YouTube is in.
7. Press play.

I literally have no other installed add-ons for ad blocking, anymore. Only uBlock Origin. Any time I see the message or YouTube starts acting up, I just repeat those 7 steps above for any YouTube tab that was already open, and viola, the video plays. It has simplified so many issues for me and reduced the number of adblock extensions I need to run.

I definitely plan on donating this holiday season to their team, probably the biggest share of the pie between the FOSS apps I enjoy and appreciate. Should uBlock Origin ever fail, I'll just stop going to YouTube.
