I don’t think they need to be afraid of anything. They could just be looking for more blackmail material or just the raw feeling of the power to watch me take a number two whenever they want.
Bad bot linking to pay walls and not posting the article text.
It’s incredibly important to do so because conservative and right-wing media is all free. They don’t paywall anything. This is part of the disinformation brain-drain. The quality, real stuff is locked away but the bullshit is out for display.
Start displaying the real stuff.

Same way they made indefinite detention of American citizens legal: make the yearly NDAA dependent on it and you could mandate that every State of the Union starts with a compilation video of dogs being silly and it would pass.
It’s never fun stuff like that, though. It’s always things that would be political suicide to even suggest in countries with functional governments. Because the things the Republicans want are always heinous, especially the things they want most.
Is it for p0rn watching? I feel like with the current Temporary Speaker of The House, it would be for p0rn watching
