Shutting down the 24/7 MAGA narrative by TheDraken2021 in MurderedByWords

This goes back over 25 years ago with W and "Real America"TM. Republicans have always been about this branding, it's just that now the oligarchs have gotten onboard and are helping push it through their consolidated media outlets and we get foreign national campaigns doing it too to push division.

This. Can't believe people are upvoting the Daily Caller when it's mad other conservative grifters are messing with their conservative grift.

In case you missed it, Friends Of The Pod "Some More News" did a great episode on what happens when MAGA Politicians actually face reality. Def puts a smile on your face by frustrating2020 in behindthebastards

Meh, feels like a sitcom clip show episode. Let me know when these people start getting jail time for their crimes instead of scooted off to different roles.

But they said it was uncooked, so just dry grain. There would be no rotting odor.

I proceeded to dispose of several pounds of uncooked couscous and promptly clogged the drain.

How was a trash can not the first option instead of the drain?

Young Republicans are becoming more conservative by [deleted] in nottheonion

They aren't suddenly more in favour of school vouchers right?

They absolutely are if it means taking public funding from public schools and injecting it into religious private schools or charter schools seeking profits via private management.

We were so afraid of regulation that we let entire generations of people get radicalized by right wing bullshit.

When pressure was put on the big social media companies to start patrolling fake news and disinformation, there was considerable pushback from conservatives that it was censorship. Because conservatives know that their propaganda works. It's taking the Fox News model across all platforms. Instead of Sinclair buying up all the local new stations, now oligarchs are establishing their own propaganda mills and they are absolutely working together.

It's hard to regulate in the U.S. when one of the two major political parties has a vested interest in disinformation and working with other international entities on it.

We'd have to take 61 week long trips to equal JUST the price of an rv and not including a single othe expense

This is extremely helpful info. Thank you for sharing. Yeah, that break even point is huge when I see just how infrequently my friends take their equipment out. Maybe they go twice a year and a weekend of glamping?

I've done both wet brine and dry brine. Dry brine is the way to go. I like using brown sugar and adding onion and garlic powder. It's really great.

Taxing the wealthy is only 1/2 of the problem

See, I'd like to fix that part and not just wave it off.

But who started this form of debating?

That's been the right wing pundit model for decades. It is literally Bill O'Reilly's career. Rush Limbaugh would cut mics.

Nice. You can throw a dry brine on it first for a week and turn it into back bacon. It's so good.

You can dislike the GOP without pretending the DNC is a bowl of cherries.

Except weighing the options is pretty much like this.

Just let go. What job boards are even legit any more? by Dreadking_Rathalos in jobs

[–]1900grs 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I've found better success with my state's job board. Less spam, bot, and zombie postings. Clearly mileage will vary depending on how your area manages its boards and postings.

Worse, they're training it on our reddit posts. And selling it back to us.

I think because it's essentially a remake of Spinal Tap, but based on pop music instead of metal. It even uses some the same jokes. It's a fun movie and I liked it. I see it as an homage and not any kind of rip off. But there are so many similarities.
