As my grandma used to say “Being smart has never been a burden for that one.”

He can’t carry very many burdens after all. On account of the spinal damage, from being a republican.

Literally five seconds on Wikipedia was too much for this christo-fascist dipshit. So of course he should be running a state of 31 million people.

It’s because they use this dogshit version of Wikipedia so they can control the lies and make everything about them instead of just being truthful about everything.

Warning…this website is FILLED with conservative lies, propaganda and complete nonsense…nothing on this site should be taken as factual.

The entry on Earth and the “biblically illiterate scientists who claim the Earth is 4.5 billion years old” cracked me up. I can’t tell if this is supposed to be serious or someone created it as a parody.

It’s all just, wow…

IIRC, it’s the son of Phyllis Schlafly that started Conservapedia…and all because he was a butthurt baby over the “secularist” and “liberal” and “materialist” bias [1] of Wikipedia.

He seemed to be especially pissy over the all-too-normal practice of dating things with BCE and CE because his “lord” was not being centered enough or whatever. These are the same kinds of stupid things that occupy the minds of dipshits that go all apeshit when they hear “happy holidays”, FFS.

[1] Oh, and, hey, whaddaya know, now the Nazi Musk is all butthurt about Wikipedia, too.

I bet more scientists have read the Bible than these “Christians”.

Trust me, as a regular editor at Wikipedia, I’m all too aware of this bootleg. Mercifully I’ve never seen it come up organically on Wikipedia; literally no one cares about it.

I imagine it suffers not only from being quite stupid and authoritarian, but also from the network effect.

Yeah, I used to think all but the very stupidest of qons would laugh at that site. Once donvict got elected the first time around, I think a more substantial amount of deplorables would think it’s “the troof” vs. Wikipedia’s “fake news” than I would have before.

Oh, and for people that don’t know, that site is serious as a heart attack. It’s not meant as a joke, although it very much is.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
