Besides the potential issues with sending user requests to this site, it's only a single URL and could be easily ignored. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something. Wouldn't proxying and caching requests on behalf of your users make more sense?

I believe their site is encouraging users to replicate data from their site on other pages, the data being sourced from multiple locations is intended to be the attack.

It's truly vile how he treats the office and the democratic values he's meant to uphold and defend.

Why is he not impeached? Where is the American people?

He treats you with such contempt that he isn't above using the office for fraud and scams. He has done more to harm the US than Putin could have ever dreamed possible. Where is the American people? Hello?


> Why is he not impeached?

He was impeached twice already.

Impeachment doesn't mean what (I believe) you think it does. There were previous presidents of the US who got impeached and remained in the position as well. This part is not novel (the only novel part is that he managed to get impeached twice).


Removing Trump from office would require votes from some Republican Party members in Congress, and so far not enough are willing to vote for it.

He's been impeached twice, in his first term when Democrats controlled the House of Representatives, which is where impeachment happens. But removing a president requires trial and conviction in the Senate, and enough Republicans there voted against conviction. Several presidents have been impeached; none have been convicted.

> Where is the American people?

My belief is that the right wing in the US has almost absolute information dominance over a segment of the population. They can say anything and that segment will believe them and support it.


If the US makes it out of this in one piece, the Republican Party will likely be ended, at least for a very long time. This is now existential for them and they know it. That’s why they’re all going along with it.

Also, a huge chunk of those want to believe, because America Great. Leader Strong.

Nationalism is a hell of a drug. It is what start WWII.

I fail to see how a leader throwing tantrums all the time is interpreted as strong. To me, it seems like a weakness and a character flaw.

You are a lost cause, but a lot of people love ranting old men.

Bunch of boot-licking cowards if you ask me

> My belief is that the right wing in the US has almost absolute information dominance

I understand what your saying but I believe it's too much of an excuse. Every single person has a degree of personal responsibility to be at least somewhat informed on the state and happenings of your nation. A democracy simply cannot function otherwise.


I completely agree about responsibility. At the same time, we can't close our eyes, on principle, to the fact that people can be influenced or we will paralyze ourselves about a critical problem.

If I were a Russian assert, how would I cripple the US and undermine/dismantle it's vast array of partnerships, relationships, and treaties. This is how I would do it.

Trump isn't playing 3D chess, he's just a moron laying waste to the democratic values, traditions, and institutions that have enabled the US to succeed.

There's little difference between Trump and a Russian assert. He does the work of the Kremlin for free.


> generational responsibility

It's not generational responsibility. Everyone has at least some responsibility to defend the democratic values, traditions, and nation that have enabled them to live freely and peacefully.

For someone who has greatly benefited from the opportunities the nation afforded them, it's insulting for such a person to behave as if they possess no responsibility to defend the values, tradition, and nation that enabled them to succeed.

It's hard for me to escape how strongly I feel about this. As a European, I don't wish for such sorts of people to immigrate here. They can go back.


It was the USA that gave you those opportunities to succeed and build wealth, raising you out of poverty. Without you would not in the position you are today, that itself deserves at least some responsibility to defend the nation against those who would tear down and destroy the democratic values, traditions, and institutions that enabled you and people like yourself to live freely and succeed.

Truthfully, as a European, I don't want people immigrating here who feel no responsibility to defend the democratic values, institutions, and nation that enabled them to live freely and succeed. Quite insane.


> What about Steam games? What about any games?

I wouldn't mind restricting access for children to certain types of games such as those with gambling (surprise) mechanics. It's a clear example of harmful media that is at least in some cases exclusively engineered and marketed towards children.


It goes without saying that scammers often target the most vulnerable. People desperate to escape their circumstances. In such a situation, not everyone is able to think clearly.

Some might be duped. But it could also be a way for fans or whales to “donate” to him.

>does stop malware

Doesn't stop state approved malware in all its forms.


Not too long ago, Gnome calculator would freeze and crash when it tried to download currency conversion data. It would make such requests on each startup, eventually it was fixed in Ubuntu LTS but was broken for quite some time.


Is this a problem?
