It’s one factor among several. Another large factor is that Chrome was easier to deploy and manage in a corporate environment for many years. Really until Edge came out a whole lot of people had it foisted on them via their IT department at work, I’m sure many still do but Edge has definitely changed things and made that less common since it gets included with the OS. Combined with Google constantly pushing it everywhere these workers were guaranteed to encounter the option to download it at home even if they didn’t explicitly seek it out, and since they already used it at work it wasn’t a scary download it was familiar and made by that great company Google that everyone is so impressed by. They click the download and that’s that, they don’t even know Firefox is an option.

Vance is referencing curry because Laura Loomer recently said the White House will smell like curry if Harris wins.

Reading over the details, he is fucked. There’s no way he isn’t spending a long time in prison, probably the rest of his life.

If you work at a company with a competent HR department they will be very interested in hearing about how your supervisor is forcing you to eat lunch with her while she interrogates you about your sex life. That is 100% not appropriate in HR world. Just don’t ever believe anyone in HR is actually your friend, stick to the truth always, and document everything. Literally, keep a log of everything. If you end up in lawyer world they will be very happy that you have documentation of dates and who was there and what happened.

Almost certainly it was explosives. Mossad very likely designed a functioning pager that contains explosives but looks identical to the original pagers and this is effectively a supply chain attack.

They’ve done a similar thing at a smaller scale with individual phones in the past. What is different is this time it’s not targeted at a specific person and instead involves thousands of devices going off simultaneously. It’s not a big risk unless you have nation state level threats up against you because it’s hard to pull off, they have to get a functioning device with explosives in it into the hands of the target and the effort involved in doing that is significant.

Growing up I had a relative with one of these cards, signed on the back by the leader of the SWAT in the next town over. My relative was high on opiods while driving with me in the car when we got pulled over because he was nodding off and kept swerving and rolling stop signs and doing other dumb shit. He showed the cop the card and that was that, the cop was suddenly so nice and just let him drive off obviously drugged out of his mind with a child in the car.

This is exactly it. Shutdowns are not popular, if they shutdown the gov before the election it is going to cost them significant votes. They are already worried about the impact of Trump on down ballot candidates, a shutdown will almost certainly cost them seats. This is MTG expressing her panic because she realizes how stupid the GOP is behaving with an election about to happen.

“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”

He seems more like an independent nutter who suffers from mania than any kind of an actual spook.

I was reading about those Blood Tribe assholes, they are a Nazi gang that moved into the area about a year ago specifically to stir up hatred in the community.

There’s that DuPont heir who infamously got away with raping a baby.

That would require the rule of law but we apparently ran out of that awhile ago and forgot to buy more. Or really, it never applied to certain people as much as others and now that is truly laid bare by the failures of the legal system to bring consequences for the crimes we have all witnessed Trump committing.

It’s literally just a Mastodon instance that isn’t federated.

I’ve been using it for a number of months now and have been really happy with it. I think it saves me time and aggravation compared to using Google.

Shit, I’ve seen some of his videos! I remember laughing at first because I thought he was playing a stupid and cringe character, like he was doing a parody. Then I realized no, he is actually just a gross person who really is stupid and cringe all the time.

Sending Trump to Rikers would be both hilarious and a great way to make Republicans finally start caring about the inhuman conditions that exist there.

I remember Trumps White House doctor also got caught handing out drugs like candy. I’m sure Trump took advantage, certainly lots of his staff did.

There’s been rumors about him taking prescription stimulants since at least the 1980’s, and various allegations of him snorting Adderal on the set of his TV show. I would be surprised if he took street meth but maybe he has a desoxyn prescription.

If this is their plan it’s a really bad plan. Laura Loomer is not getting them votes, the more she is the face of their campaign the worse it gets for them.
