Best of luck - anything that's an alternative to Amazon, Google, Netflix/Disney/Hulu, Spotify, etc. and their many subsidiaries and affiliations is a plus in my eyes!

I will say this, sometimes there needs to be a "bad guy" who says what we're all thinking, even if it comes across as mean. Otherwise, how would any of us know what behaviors of ours that other people find irritating, so we c

You still failed to prove that he "did nothing"; choosing one particular metric that shows there was zero change does not mean Trump did nothing. It just means the trajectory didn't change, by this one metric. You also don&#x

It’s crazy how many news organizations are complaining about Russian propaganda, and then out of the other side of their mouths are using propaganda to strongly imply if not outright state (falsely) that Fox is supporting Russia and Putin’s

This argument can only be made in good faith if you completely ignore the events of the past 5 years, where anyone who was outspoken but didn’t tow the CNN/neolib line on just about any of the big issues was either directly or indirect
