    IMO It's all over, I'm just trying to enjoy it as much as possible. The Titanic has struck the iceberg, she's taking on massive quantities of water, and the compartment seals have failed. Might as well enjoy the minstrels playing on the deck while we cram into the too-few lifeboats.

    When there is literally an entire political party and their followers willing to attempt to sell non-stop lies to the country -about trying to overturn an election no less (!!)- we won't be coming back, it will only get worse. (Just see the Texas gerrymandering and expected reaction, for example.)

    Good game, America. Trump has changed you into his image.

    I can’t believe you don’t understand that google articles aren’t a good way to get accurate info about the topic(not because they may lean left) and that’s been the main rebuttal.

    Were you here in 2020 when all the drama queens were screaming that America was broken .....and could never change.... and that SCOTUS would keep Trump in power ...and blah blah blah?

    And yet, Joe Biden beat him. Joe Biden who was a shell of his former self.

    America is fickle and gets bored easily.
    That is why I hate how Trump represents "conservative" thought.

    I know your side will go scorched earth on its revenge tour when the time comes. I wonder how many on the left will have the integrity to push back like some on the right have.

    This.

    Anyone who doesn't understand how Google curates it's search results to fit your harvested interests may think that search results are a valuable metric.

    Google makes their money harvesting your info and sending you to products/news etc that you personally are most likely to buy.

    The left right thing mostly depends on what you search for the most.

    COME ON MAN

    The top results in a search, sure, the algorithm is leaning. But Google isn’t WRITING articles. It’s not creating facts or news. We’re adults. The top results are useless, sure. But isn't the right the party of truth seekers? There is nothing stopping anyone from looking beyond the top search results.

    Can you imagine walking into a library and saying, there's no good research sources in here because they're put off by the books they see on the front shelf of the library, despite said library having an endless collection of material.

    You guys are so far gone you literally don't trust an entire search engine? Or is it convenient to denigrate Google because it keeps you from having to look beyond the top page and find info that doesn't support your deep state thinking?

    Huh??? Who on the right has "pushed back" on trump policies??

    Maga has so far followed him in lockstep down his hate filled self serving vindictive rat hole. Virtually no R politicians have opposed trump anywhere and very few of his rank and file supporters so spare us the "integrity " line.

    Virtually no R politicians have spoken up in support of old R values and if they did they still voted for trump policies.

    Fiscal Conservatives?
    Free Trade?
    Small Government?
    Law and Order for all?
    Family Values?
    Support for Allies?
    Etc, etc

    Integrity indeed. :rolleyes:

    The idea in the OP was that the quantity somehow mattered. People have rightfully pointed out that you can't use that as an effective measurement.

    Of course. The fact that a larger quantity of Republican lawmakers are arrested for crimes involving underage kids not only matters, it's the point of the entire thread.

    Also, why is a Republican sitting President trying to hide information about a deceased pedophile? And why did he just send a convicted sex trafficker to a lower security prison?

    Also; release the Epstein files!

    But Google isn't erasing articles. The algorithm dictates which results show up first but they don't erase articles.

    If there are more articles on Republican misconduct in this realm that simply is a function of either a) there being more reporting on Republicans behaving this way or b) Republicans committing these transgressions at a higher rate (and thus it being reported/written about more).

    A betting man would posit it's a combination of the two. That's not a Google slant or bias.

    Through its search algorithm, Google assuredly knows whether you lean left or right and thus curates search results accordingly.

    Which is why I included more than Google results.

    No offense, but you're not a politician of which I was referring to. That should have come across in my post. Maybe you should run for office, I hear NC has a few spots opening up soon if you're bringing integrity to the right. :cool:

    So if your earlier post simply references posters here, it seems that you are saying none of the liberals here have integrity. :eek::rolleyes: If that's your "honest" opinion, its a sad one. Im done tho, should not have posted, but was bored on a Sunday afternoon. As my wife always says, it's a waste of time, rarely do opinions change on a message board, just adding to your frustration. Plus I suspect both of our posts are off-topic. :cool:

    In closing I will add that there are no R's in politics these days with the integrity of a John McCain. IMO of course.

    Lol. The point is, you can't base quantity on how many shows up in a weighted search.

    And I agree. Release the files.
