This was literally the guy who started his entire political career in earnest by calling in to Fox News and talking about how Obama wasn’t “American” because he’s black. Trump found his political fame because he advocated the “birther” conspiracy.

It’s honestly crazy that anyone could be surprised. He’s been up front about his racism for fifteen years now.

I find the wording of the article to be remarkable. “At the opposite end of the supply chain.”

Eric (not his real name) was no longer just a consumer of China's spy-cam porn industry, but a victim.

A “consumer” who has admittedly been watching this type of “spy cam” footage for twenty years (since he was a teen, according to the article) and never once thought “wait, what if that was me?”

Then when he grows a conscience in his thirties he contacts the BBC.

This is of course the same game he’s been playing since 2016. His fans are just legitimately too blinded by their cult to realize it.

Literally every time. Now that he’s not running, he’ll just keep repeating it for every election because it works for his idiot base of Christian nationalists.

They certainly seem like the people to know who is wanting to move somewhere with less climate chaos!

This is backwards:

Substack specified that more sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, passwords, and other financial information, was unaffected.

Credit card numbers and passwords are so easy to change.

Leaking phone numbers is way worse.

That’s actually why I looked it up! I was like “oh is he finally going down the drain?”

Not yet. Evil lives longer than good so he seems fine, but we can take comfort in the fact that he isn’t seeking re-election in 2026.

He’s 83, way too old to be a senator. He turns 84 on February 20th and I hope he dies before then.

Unfortunately, Mitch McConnell didn’t have another stroke like he deserves to.
