I’ve been trying different search engines and was pleasently surprised by startpage so i started looking into startmail too and then when i searched for startmail i saw they have a link directly to their dan bongino section https://www.startmail.com/bongino so thats a huge pass from me

    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.

      He is also a former Secret Service agent. You can dislike him but at least include that he has a bit of LE experience.

        What does that have to do with anything?

        Hell, this has “I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?” vibes.

        I mean, I’ve technically designed a component that’s gone into numerous commercial aircraft. Does that make me qualified to head up the FAA? Or would that make me qualified to lead NASA?

        These chuds are so unqualified to lead any of these departments. The one saving grace as that none of these guys know what they are doing, so short of firing people, they’re just going to embarrass themselves for the next 4 years.
