    Mike Johnson is a walking argument for voting against 70+ year-old geriatrics who can’t string together coherent sentences.

    All it takes is one exceedingly unlucky accident and that motherfucker becomes president.

      It’s a bit bonkers that the way the American system works can so easily result in a president who is a member of the other party.

        That’s by design, sadly.

        And not only that, a majority of voters seem perfectly content with it.

    Isn’t this the kind of thing TOR and a private browsing session was made for? Additionally this is just bizarre.

      Maybe it’s a way to make sure they don’t forget. Like “oh hey bro i saw u had some lewds in ur history make sure u go incognito next time” “Damn u right man good lookin out” fist bump

    Does this not seem deeply disturbing for any politician to ever admit? It’s not shocking anymore, just disturbing still.

    It must be that software that you install that lets your “accountability buddy” check your browsing activity.

    Is porn intake measured in sieverts or mW/cm² or what?

    What level is considered safe?

      I don’t have kids, but if I found out that my son was beating it to furry porn I don’t think I’d be able to sleep at night.

      Edit: not saying that I would hate them or anything, just that it would bother me and I’d be concerned about them. Humans dressing up as animals and saying “call me Wolfy, I am a Timberwolf because that’s what I associate most with” is just fucking weird. Humans are humans, we aren’t another species.

      There comes a point where being accepting and inclusivity goes too far, some things shouldn’t be normalized, because then everything becomes normalized. I know I sound like the “being gay is unnatural” people, but what I’m talking about is humans and non-humans (as I re-read this, it’s literally the plot of the Futurama episode with the Lucy Liu bot and proposition Infinity). There are people out there that love and have relationships with inanimate objects (cars, The Eiffel Tower, The Statue of Liberty, sex dolls, etc…). Should we normalize a lonely person bringing their sex doll out to a restaurant and having a date with them? At some point we’re reinforcing unhealthy relationships and you have to draw the line somewhere.

          I’m not saying I would hate them or disown them or anything, just that it would bother me. It’s like, what if you found out that your kids watched midget amputee scat porn? Would you be like “ok that’s normal, carry on!”?

            I would remember why I already knew that I never wanted to know what porn my kids watch. I would only have a problem with abusive types of porn, that would require a talk about consent, respect and boundaries.

              They’re both fucked up, but at least scat porn is two (or more) humans not humans dressed as animals fucking each other.

              Furries are just fucking weird, man. Some things just shouldn’t be normalized.

    I get that lots of jokes are to be made about the porn part but what really should be concerning everyone is that the current Speaker of the House pays a third party to snoop on every aspect of his phone.

    Was he using his personal phone for any of his duties in Congress?

    Is he still using this phone with even more potentially secret government information as a member of the Gang of 8?

    This is a MASSIVE security risk, who the fuck knows what information this Covenant Eyes “company” is now privy to.

    ETA: From a Wired article from Sept 2022: https://www.wired.com/story/covenant-eyes-anti-porn-accountability-monitoring-apps/

    “But Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You do much more than just police pornography. When WIRED downloaded, decompiled, and tested Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You, we found that both apps are built to collect, monitor, and report all sorts of innocent behavior. The applications exploited Android’s accessibility permissions to monitor almost everything someone does on their phone. While the accessibility functionalities are meant to help developers build out features that assist people with disabilities, these apps take advantage of such permissions to either capture screenshots of everything actively being viewed on the device or detect the name of apps as they’re being used and record every website visited in the device’s browser.”

    Emphasis mine. This is exactly what I’m talking about. Dude has this software on every one of his devices and now the Christofascists behind Covenant Eyes and any one willing to hack them, ie foreign governments, has screenshots of everything he is viewing. Massive massive security risk.

      Covenant Eyes is what Anna Duggar was using to keep Josh Duggar accountable. He’s been in jail for like a year now for CSAM. Pretty sure C.E. is just a data mining operation that uses fundie fear to make money.

        He would? Or he did?

        If he uses a second phone, does that not immediately undermine the point of showing his porn to his son? Since any secret porn his son would tattle to god about he would just watch on the second phone, yes?

        This is a pretty massive concern. He keeps US secrets for fucks sake.

        What is your source for this?

        Should he? Absolutely, his personal phone with this tracking software should never be anywhere near the Capitol.

        Dude doesn’t even have a bank account, show everyone the proof that he’s actually using a different, secure phone. Never assume Republicans are doing what’s secure, there is absolutely no proof that they do.

      Dude, I’m willing to bet the son has at least one.

      “I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

      A quote like this tempts fate. I thought he was trying to avoid temptation.

    Alcoholics have a sponsor too, so it must be a really bad addiction if he’s even willing to drag his kid into it as an emotional crutch.

      If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.

          Nah this stuff is full on spyware having a VPN wouldn’t stop it from triggering. This is the software Josh Sugar had installed on his PC turns out partitioning the hard drive and installing another OS will get around it.

      I remember this kind of stuff back from my days as an evangelical Christian…they applaud this kind of nonsense, even though every single one of the users of this kind of software has some way around it. Purity culture craziness.

      This is what happens when you’re brainwashed from childhood to believe you’re born evil, anyone not on your “team” is evil, and you must blindly obey authority.
