Who's Dan Bongino?
he's a very conservative podcast host whos now the FBI deputy director who pushed the conspiracy theory that trump actually won the 2020 election and rallied against face masks and "In 2018, Bongino said, "My entire life right now is about owning the libs. That's it."" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Bongino
He's subscribed to just about every conspiracy theory imaginable & advocating for killing Democrats. It would be like Alex Jones becoming FBI deputy director.
Ew, gross. I wonder if that's why I stopped using startpage...? It's been so long since I bothered, but at least I know now why it should be avoided.
Such a weird thing for them to do - why would a Dutch company highlight a connection with a US Trump supporter? Is it a very recent thing? Like Proton's CEO massaging Trump's ego?
Am I missing something in the link? I see the url yes, but I only see the quote of him endorsing startmail. Is there any other info on what kind of partnership they have? Genuinely curious because I use startpage a lot and will definitely stop if this is true.
They have a special discount with his code and mention its for fans of his so they sponsored his podcast directly
Am I missing something or did they take it down? That link redirects to https://www.startmail.com/ for me.
Wow it didn’t do that before it was a dedicated site with his photo and his endorsement i edited the OP to include a archive.org link
