and has named South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to succeed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorkas.

A fair point, though “a ton of money” is essentially 1% of their net profits for the year. Selling Chrome to someone who gets another .5% is not going to do anything at all.

So it is on firefox as well . . ? And also with Edge, for those poor bastards.

Why not just force them to pick a different default? Or something meaningful like splitting them out of Alphabet entirely? Or stop sucking? Okay, well that last one may be hard to administrate.

Oh please does he look like a date rape kinda guy?

I mean . . .

It’s just . . .

Yeah, okay. Gross.

What the what?

“sell your browser, that’ll limit your search monopoly”

. . . HAH?

I give you the pigs, weasels, skunks, and slime mold, and Beavis. Dunno about Butthead but i’ll take it under advisement.

Yyyyyyyyyes.

Uh. Yeah, I guess that is one takeaway from that.

Rhetoric and policy should be connected in a serious government leadership.

Yeah but unserious just won everything. Is serious angry?

Oh, there’s plenty of room for anger currently. Sure. And I’d prefer we direct it to the corporate news media myself, but the point is that it’s only going to go so far before it has to change to not-angry. And be what it really is.

If you’re saying you’ve got a movement whose entire purpose is to kill nazis, I’m onboard, right - but after we kill most of the big nazis and the rest have scurried off under their rocks, then what? Kill nazi sympathizers? Okay - I might peace out at that moment, but once that’s done then what? Start a record company?

I’m just saying - anger is a useful device but it’s no be-all and end-all as the few remaining halfway-human members of the republiQan party are surely considering now that they’ve won everything with lies and nazis again.

At some point you have to run the boring meetings and pass the cost-cutting measures and deny someone their dream pony because it won’t fit in this year’s omnibus bill.

I mean, that’s easy. It just doesn’t have any politics in it.

Edit: overt politics

Frank Zappa said “Anger is fuel” so yeah use it if you got it. Just saying that movements of anger have to at some point become peaceful or they just end up being the new dictators, upended by the new-new movement of anger.

It’s not like a new story, it’s just new in our highly mediated world.

Oh yeah? Let’s fight about it!

(not really, just saying. Eventually you get tired of it and everythings just kind of angry.)

Fair enough! So ordered.

You just wanted a pepsi! And they wouldn’t give it to you!

I’d be interested to see what the 600 “bullet ballots” in Maricopa County are all about. As a hotbed of election denialism and a swing state it’d be interesting to see if there really were that many people who were only interested in voting for president and nothing else.

The ship’s captain is reportedly a Russian citizen.

China, you’re in this with russia. You sure that’s what you want?

Yay!

Aww that’s so sweet. It will take months to pass -if it does - and will then be struck down by everybody’s favorite Texas trump judge.

It’s that kind of incisive political analyses that make all the “lolDemz” leftist commentary worthwhile. Thank you for your service. /s
