You just accused me of not criticizing Trump then when I do I'm both sidesing it.

Bro this type of moral brow beating is not going to work when it comes to chattel slavery or genocide not matter how furiously you and your Reddit refugee friends masturbate each other about it.

It didn't work in 2016 when the issues weren't nearly as contentious and it won't work now. If Trump wins it will be libs like you's fault.

But go ahead and keep scoring pretend internet points by attacking anyone that criticizing Harris' obvious shortcomings as Trump shills.

The OP is about Harris. Trump is 10x worse than Harris but that's like saying genocide, chattel slavery and mass deportation is better because our side has pride parades!

Bro you these moral ransom arguments are not going to work when the things you want people to compromise on are genocide and chattel slavery. It's Hilary all over again.

Nope, she'll lose the black vote for putting them into the chattel slavery prison system. She'll lose the youth vote for supporting the Palestinian genocide. She'll get a lot of heckin' blue no matter who Redditors just like Hilary!

Where's the lie?

Ironically she'll completely lose the black vote after enslaving them by imprisoning them over crimes like their children skipping school

Mini primary! We could do it Wipeout style!

Bro what are you on about. Kamala came in dead last in the 2020 primary. She's has a enormous amounts of baggage like jailing kids and parents for skipping school.

She's more right wing that Biden. Why would anyone vote for diet Republican when they can have the real thing.

Hilary 2.0.

Well I'd pick one of handful of progressive democrats the Dems have or Bernie but that ain't happening. I'd at least pick Newsom.

Oh no

It's the cyber 9/11 they always worried about.

No woke, gets broke.

It also contained sex but it was the racist stuff that destroyed his career and provided grounds for the lawsuit.

Gawker was an online news/celebrity gossip site that ran in the early 2000's. They were pretty notorious for some of their unethical practices. Like finding the unique IMEI numbers of celebrities' cell phones in Manhattan then tracking them and putting their real time locations online in a user friendly map causing them to get ambushed by fans while doing errands like shopping or getting a haircuts.

They made enemies with billionaire Peter Thiel by outing him as homosexual when they published his text messages sent to a male sex worker he was patronizing.

While there's little proof it's believed that Thiel along with the Republican party changed a long standing law that prevented third parties from funding other people's lawsuits.

Regardless Gawker would get sued by Hulk Hogan when they published a private video of Hogan going into detail about his deeply held racist beliefs (saying the n-word numerous times, saying he didn't want his daughter seeing black men).

This lead to Hulk being disavowed by the WWE. He was removed from their Hall of Fame and banned from further appearances.

Thiel funded Hulk's defamation lawsuit as revenge for their earlier humiliation of him. A lawsuit Hulk would not have likely been about to pursue otherwise. While few would argue the merits, the damages were wildly inflated to the tune of 100's of millions. Hulk was long past his prime and even his modestly successful reality TV series was long forgotten at that point so he wasn't worth anywhere close to that amount.

While a fair ruling would have likely left Gawker intact this pointedly vindictive one forced them into bankruptcy. They closed their doors shortly there after to the delight of the right wing.

While many found Gawker's "Nightcrawler" like approach to journalism abhorrent. Unflinchingly procuring and publishing the most salacious celebrity gossip regardless of consequence, or newsworthy merit. Often in ethically dubious ways.

It's none the less a large part of why they broke they Epstein story first, which many in the media now admit was an open secret. They were true to their name, willing to expose some of the most powerful people on the planet on stories that defied all convention knowing that even the most upstanding and righteous person would compromise themselves to "gawk" at it.

I think they took a lot of pride in this, being able to bring down anyone of any race, creed, color or class to read their "dirty" tabloid. They know what your base desires want, even if you won't admit it to yourself.

You meet people this brave (reckless?) once in a lifetime with this brutal effectiveness. Sure there's plenty of war time journalists every bit as brave but their high morals seem to keep them from getting really dirty like Gawker did.

Maybe some will find that view offensive. None the less, if you relished the thought of a notorious child sex trafficker hanging from his cell. It's not chic online influencers and trendy memes you should thank. It's those reviled gossip hounds at Gawker. RIP ;__;

Republicans say they're against human trafficking but Hulk's lawsuit is what took down the journalist outfit that blew the whistle on Epstein (Gawker).

It's proving that POSIX architecture is necessary even if it requires additional computer literacy on the part of users and admins.

The risk of hacking (which is what Crowdstrike essentially does to get so deeply embedded and be so effective at endpoint protection) a monolithic system like Windows OS is if you screw up the whole thing comes tumbling down.

This is just the media gassing themselves up.

They own a bunch of chain hotels (Best Western?), and fix prices. The US has among the highest rates for hotels in the developed world. I recently went to Germany and for the same price I got 4 star amenities for what I'd pay for a very basic motel.

No, you can still own ONE hotel. The reason why hotel prices are so high in the US is because of the Patel Cartel.
