Every day in right wing media, the gullible simps who believe the billionaire-concocted narratives are subjected to scams trying to part them from their money.

Today, Mike Lindell is running a "free" pillow grift that costs $16 shipping and handling https://www.rawstory.com/mike-lindell-free-pillows/

Donald Trump's campaign is explicitly trying to cancel RFK Jr. from right wing media and as you would imagine, none of the people who pretend to care about "free speech" have mentioned it, let alone condemned Trump https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/01/rfk-jr-trump-2024-elections-00155425

Passive or news-ignorant Americans overwhelmingly support Donald Trump, while people who actually read news support Joe Biden.

@otownKim Trump wasn't lying when he said he loves the ignorant. That's who supports him.

@csstrowbridge He thrives off ignorance. If you don't follow the news, his actions are so bizarre that they can seem unreal.

@joeinwynnewood @Nonya_Bidniss Yes that is a very, very important thing to do.

The Christian right can't get converts anymore so they're resorting to trying to breed more of them.

They can't recruit so they must reproduce. They're desperate that Christianity in America is being taken over by Hispanics.

Microsoft has released the source code to MS-DOS 4.0 and also a binary for "Multi-Tasking MS-DOS" which was the original DOS 4.0.

The concepts and some of the code for MT-DOS 4.0 also went into what eventually became OS/2 1.0 https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/opensource/2024/04/25/open-sourcing-ms-dos-4-0/

More of the history here: https://starfrost.net/blog/001-mdos4-part-1/

Unfortunately, the young devs who released the code didn't do so in a DOS format https://www.os2museum.com/wp/how-not-to-release-historic-source-code/

Mike Johnson and other Republicans reminding left-wingers who hate Joe Biden that they are much, much worse on Gaza and on free speech https://thehill.com/homenews/4619558-johnson-there-is-an-appropriate-time-for-national-guard-if-student-protesters-dont-disperse/

Right-wing outlets claim only they are unbiased about the news.

In truth, Republican media outlets are much more biased than the MSM. They have hard management requirements that hosts/correspondents are required not to break.

Newsmax reportedly has a hard requirement to censor tough criticism of Ukraine. All right-wing outlets censor their reporting significantly

Fox's number-one propaganda tool is to not tell its brainwashed viewership about stories that make Republicans look bad.

Every actual news outlet has multiple Trump news stories at the top of its website. But not Fox. They barely mention it at all, and only in covering an op-ed for another media publication.

The right loves to accuse others of "media bias," but NBC or whoever would never be so totally flagrant in coverage.

Every so often, I like to post some of the bizarre religious fundamentalist content on Republican websites.

These are the "deep tracks" that really reflect the mindset of the people who control the Republican party.

These people believe the Bible is literally true. They don't believe in evolution. And they loathe and oppose with every fiber of their being anyone who tells them their views are debunked.

Fox host Ainsley Earhardt is concerned that Trump's hush money prosecution is going to make it harder for other men who pay off mistresses to run for office.

He is truly a selfless man!

@paninid Yes. And everyone knows that he would totally have the teevee pompadour if he hadn't lost so much of his own.

@paninid I used to run in the same right-wing circles and I actually did think he was gay until I saw some clip of him saying he had a wife 😏

@paninid The gay hating closet case is one of those stereotypes that continues to hold a lot of truth

Donald Trump fell asleep in court for the third time this week because he has the attention span of a toddler.

His former aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman gave a great reminder of how as president in 2017, Trump frequently fell asleep in important briefings and couldn't sit still. He's only gotten worse with age.

Trump is a total creature of his handlers, and his handlers are Christofascist sociopaths.

There's no doubt whatsoever that Donald Trump is the GOAT Grifter. His ability to trick people into flushing their money down the toilet is world historical!

In court, Donald Trump had to listen to scores of ridiculing social media posts by potential jurors and their relatives 😃
