I had no idea that ads were getting this pervasive. I don't have a smartphone. I don't live near or even visit Chicago. I don't watch TV. And I own tech that is old enough that I have all the power over it. Despite years of them trying to get me to pay for a YouTube membership through trying to destroy adblockers or putting up minor annoyance hurdles that we figure out how to combat nearly as quick as they can come up with them, I can watch YT all day long without ever watching a single ad.

I don't know how ya'll do it. You should say no.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

We don't watch ads either.

Just to give you an idea of how biased the headline and article are ...

Why didn't they lead with Bill Clinton, also on the list?

And it ends with

Quote:
Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing, stating he severed ties with Epstein decades ago and recently insisting he was never “friendly” with the child abuser despite proof suggesting otherwise.

"proof suggesting" is an oxymoron. "Proof" doesn't "suggest", it proves. "evidence suggesting" or "hearsay suggesting" would make more sense.
