Like JD Vance, Trump loves people that need to humiliate themselves doing a 180 in service to him and shamelessly covering for him in public.

A few from the top of my head: Lindsey Graham Ted Cruze Nikki Haley Ron DeSantis

Are suggesting Trump's campaign has anyone competent enough to hack the Internet Archive in an attempt to remove material from years ago? Or are you saying that maybe someone hacked the Internet Archive to plant creditable sounding comments about Trump's campaign staff?

Maybe I'm way off though, and you're not trying to create a new conspiracy theory and just forgot to finish your sentence.

Yep, this is all about exhausting public resources and damaging the image of public education so that less people question the push towards "private" education making a profit for the grifters, and will allow them to rewrite the rules.

I feel like although possible now, that this may need to change going forward since I'm not sure how Amazon can validate your review if not done through their platform.

This of course fragments reviews to specific retail storefronts, but if the platform can't validate at least the fact you purchased the item I don't see anyway they can even begin to know you're leaving a legit review.

I don't see a link for this, but found the github page for Mentions United.

But as stated during the trial, the reason he wanted to hide the Stormy stuff was to protect his campaign. So by making a deal with National Enquiry to catch and kill the story to protect his campaign, not his family, means it was a campaign finance violation because he tried to do it on the DL instead of declaring it the legal way.

And you're right that paying someone to stay silent isn't illegal (as long as the thing you're having them stay silent about itself is legal), but doing it in furtherance of his campaign without properly reporting it is illegal. So pretending it's just a casual falsified business records case is downplaying the election interference by trying to hide payouts to protect his campaign bid (electability).

Edit - it was the 2nd crime (election interference) that made each count a felony instead of a misdemeanor.

Well if you take a company like Amazon they know everything about you already, including if you actually purchased the item you are reviewing. And that should be a simple first "hurdle" for a reviewer to be legit. They already have a way of sorting them out and labeling them in place. So I would assume this means if you don't have that label your review doesn't go live. They can then add more qualifiers to prove they know the reviewers are real, since this seems to put the onus of proof on the company not that FTC.

Edit - some words

Yeah, I think for 99% of people tech has really stopped evolving and we have allowed corporate bean counters to lock shit down and then abandon it. When the nerds ran the show we had innovation and constant improvement of a product because technology is awesome. Then capitalism killed it. Now you get a cool car with a shit infotainment system outdated and never updated the day you take delivery, when we could have some crazy shit with badass HUDs and sensors for everything. We could make it harder for assholes on the road to try and kill everyone. We could make all cars in the area aware of the road hazard driving 45 in a 55 during rush hour. None of that stuff makes the line graph go up though, so we wait for the next nerd with money and a desire to create the future.

I see articles like this stating he has donated $0 and doesn't intend to contribute anything. He also calls out Musk for what he is doing.

According to OpenSecrets.org, which tracks campaign financing, Cuban last donated to a candidate in 2002, when he gave $1,000 to Democratic California Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren's campaign.

Things like this are their goal when they use buzz words like relaxed regulation, "small government", and "free market".

Has someone posted an argument, or do you in the future see yourself seeing an argument with someone on here taking the side of "alternative facts" and letting that change your mind? If not then it's just someone likely downvoted to the bottom that people will ignore anyways, not worth the time to post it. I think something like Facebook works for these types of things better, as the population is generally older and more likely to see and reshare just any nonsense true or not.

Because I personally don't see the fediverse as a great medium for trying to bring people into the cult, and the ability to bring people out of the cult is even less likely online, fediverse or not.

The original Facebook was just "hot or not" for a college campus, and required invites.

I used to do this as a kid, and would add cheese to make it a "sandwich".

And the best part is that unlike most politicians, where a team needs to dig into their past to try and find something, Trump is saying the quiet part out loud daily.

Let's just listen to music. Lets make it into a musical. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?

• Trump (who was exhausted after 4 questions)

Plus it makes for a unified message (just like "weird"), which the Dems have been lacking against the Rights lockstep conspiracy message of FUD for decades now.

He is facing several other criminal cases. He already has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York in relation to a hush-money payment [in his election interference case].

We are 8 years into this and the media still constantly tries to downplay what this shithead tried to do to the American people in his neverending quest of greed and narcissism.

“Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” Taylor [Miles Taylor, a DHS chief of staff under Trump] wrote, recalling an alleged exchange with Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief of staff between 2017 and 2019."

Just real normal stuff to say about your daughter. /s 🤮

Yeah, as a tax payer I hate to see my tax dollars go to ever increasing security for this man looking to take away our freedoms and crush minorities and vulnerable people. He spews outright lies that are hurting people all over the country and we are supposed to just pay to keep his hate speech toxic verbal diarrhea mouth safe so he can possibly be elevated to a position to amplify his harm to the country and it's citizens.

It's fucking insane and infuriating.

For commercial services like Twitter or Reddit the bots make sense because it lets the platforms have inflated "user" numbers while also more random nonsense to sell ads against.

But for the fediverse, the goals would be, post random stuff into the void and profit?? Like I guess you could long game some users into a product that they only research on the fediverse, but seems more cost effective for the botnets to attack the commercial networks first.
