MAGA republicans think that "the left" is the threat.

Wannabe-socialist Americans think that "conservatives" are the threat.

Meanwhile...

Man, I can remember when Google was brand new. Back when it was literally just a search engine, and not even the best or most popular one.

Back then, it was "Oh, yet another company trying to compete with Infoseek and Yahoo. (yawn.)"

How the mighty have fallen...

I'm posting this here because--like everything else--we have proof all around us of the absolute **** that's going on in the world, and yet nothing gets done. If Zuckerbucks are as effective as they were last election, we'll have our first Socialist President and VP in November.

They still don't have any stated platform either. No foundation, no specifics, just more basement-dwelling while planning on election theft for the win.

The shape of things to come? J6ers are still in prison for walking through the capitol, so perhaps we're already there.

It's fascinating, though, how many of those early search platforms are still online. Lycos, Webcrawler, Excite, Dogpile, ask.com, all still function today.

Who the heck is paying for their hosting?
