Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED.

      I doubt it will change much, the rest of the party is still in tact. They’ll just move Vance to to king dipshit and continue as they were.

        Is he really capable of leading the party he’s always struck me as the sort of person that would get out of depth in a slightly melted ice cube. Trump gets away with it because he just says it all does something ridiculous and then the story moves on to that. Vance doesn’t really command the kind of following they need.

      Pedo king is fitting.

      Trump the King of the pedophilia, protector of corruption, leader of the racist white army.

    I’m addition to everyone else here’s much more pressing political concerns, this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines.

    Mossad should release autoreply_writer.exe

      I’d be more concerned about the programs the government is installing onto the machines

    This is what happens when the people exposed to the highest levels of lead are give access to all the hate they can eat and free-reign to use that lowered cognitive function in positions of power.

          I’m reading lemmy using the Android voyager client, which seems to open the default Samsung browser which is quite limited in what it can do. I don’t see any options in the settings to force it to use Firefox, or any other browser unfortunately.

          So googling for “remove paywall” is not helpful

      I think we’re way past what’s legal or not in this shithole. His whole point from the beginning was that he could shoot someone and nothing would happen and americans were like: wow. I like guns too.

      He’s too dumb, also near death, but mostly, he’s just too dumb. All of them are. Our saving grace is that the evil isn’t smart enough to succeed at evil.

        I wouldn’t call him dumb. If he was literally stupid he wouldn’t have made it this far. He knows exactly what he does and doesn’t care. Hes evil as hell, but not dumb.

          The man himself is absolutely dense. Just listen to one of his speeches or interviews for five minutes. But the really smart (and dangerous) people are the ones whispering into his ear.

            This is my impression. Kinda like Dick Cheney whispering into George W. Bush’s ear, just… even more openly evil. And that’s saying something.

      This pissed me off until I remembered that all these positions were replaced by partisan shit-suckers and opted to ignore it instead. The fact that republican mouthpieces can lie to the faces of their supporters and still get believed means they’re hopeless to learn anything else. They live in a reality that is going to crash and burn in a few months, and they can blame none of it on any opposition but their own rejection of reality.
