Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Did Biden ever even really talk about 2025? I'm loving that this is one of the very first places she goes and I hope she just presses hard on it non-fucking stop what's in it
Tell them their porn's going away. Do it in the fucking debate. Do it pussy.
Unfortunately a large number of conservatives support that. Like how Mike Johnson has an app that tells his son whenever he's jacking off.
How is that app supposed to work?
Honor system, which makes it even more creepy. He has to decide to tell his son he jerked off.
and the son wants to know? or has he deleted the app without telling?
His son grew up with Mike Johnson as a father. He’s either a true believer or he knows that you do not step out of line when it comes to dad’s creepy shit.
His son just probably has a laptop and boots using a usb into linux. All of these christian goodie-do-gooders are going to create a nation of hackers.
Lmao part of the reason I went so deep into the Linux world was because my school board had super advanced network policies that were able to effectively block specific traffic and pretty much any commercial VPN. I had to build my own server at home to connect to from school using a bunch of traffic cloaking techniques to get unobstructed internet access.
I didn't really use any sites that were blocked anyway, but it made me go "watch me bitch" to whoever was overengineering the censorship system in our school board's IT.
Shadow socks? Ssh?
tell me.how
Also fuck your school board's it
The biggest hastle was that any persistent tunnel I would make over any protocol (I tried OpenVPN, WireGuard, SSH, Shadowsocks, etc) to any IP address would be blocked after (I think) 3 hours. This let them basically block any VPN that wasn't already explicitly blacklisted outright.
My solution was to make a simple API on the server that got a new IPv6 address for the server and returned it.
There was a WireGuard server running on port 53 and listening from any incoming IP. On my devices I would call the API every hour when idle and change the IP in the WireGuard config. On Android I had a Tasker automation to do this and on my laptop a shell script on a cronjob.
Lol I wasn't joking, it actually is an app and not the honor system. His 17 year-old son gets an immediate notice when his dad starts cranking his hog.

Who is going to tell him that his son has a way around it?
Yeah imagine expecting a 17 year old boy to NOT look at porn.
So it's looking at porn, not cranking his hog.
Are you suggesting that Mike Johnson is edging himself?
Yes.
Maybe he just appreciates the porn, aesthetically.
Forgive me son, for I have sinned.
If I remember correctly, it lets each user view the other's search history.
That, but also an immediate notification if you go to a porn site.
I don't like my freedom! But you can also restrict someone with Google and not even need to see those sights. So I dunno what the fuck they are doing. Family link is easy and takes like 5 minutes to set up.
TIL. This is weird as fuck.
No ballsmala?
you could probably use vpn or whatever to get around that. i think it's worse that they want to incriminate sex workers
They'll go back to their couches.
Biden was too soft to mention it... Good thing he's out of the race
the heritage foundation has been putting out a project 2025 like document since 1980 and nearly 75% of all of the recommendations have been enacted by both democrats and republicans since then, including biden.
biden didn't talk much about project 2025 because, if you looked into it, you'll find that biden was a big proponent of the 1980's & 1990's versions of the project 2025; so it was politically advantageous that he pretended that it never happened and he never did it to ensure a distinction between him and maga stayed present in today's political discourse. the same is true with gay marriage; lgbtq in federal service; student loans; segregation; feminism; etc. and i bet that's why he dropped out.
I would just like to point out that this is an example of the tried-and-true rhetorical technique of shrugging off issues with a dismissive "that's not new." We see politicians and spokespersons do it all the time, because, maddeningly, it works.
But, it doesn't actually matter whether it's new, does it? Couple things: The Heritage Foundation has put out a similar document every election cycle for decades, but the contents have changed; this iteration could be (is!) much, much worse. Even if Heritage had been putting out the same plan all along, and we didn't object then, well, we can still object now. We don't have to keep making the same mistakes in the future just because we made them in the past.
It’s almost as if career politicians aren’t great choices cause of all the baggage.
