A useful thing I've found for this sort of thing on Google is filtering by date. You can add before:YYYY-MM-DD to a search and it will filter out most results that happened after that date. It's not perfect, but it can be useful. "after" with the same format works as well.

For dumbasses like me, duckduckgo has a graphical selector for this, it's the "Any time" next to the safe search toggle.

Downside is you have to choose a range instead of a single endpoint, so I tend to just say "from 2000 to one month ago". (one month ago because the filter is pretty leaky, I'm guessing due to related articles and caching, so I lop off extra on that side too).

I'm surprised Google didn't nuke the API for dislike extensions yet.

Could be because advertisters were throwing a fit over it. Removing dislikes from public view is one thing, but marketing companies want to see that data so they can tweak their algorithms, and removing it altogether could be a substantial financial hit to them.
 
You love to see it.

Joe Manchin says Bernie Sanders is not what 'the majority of Americans represent' after Sanders hinted at Manchin getting primaried​

(article)
  • Joe Manchin fired back at Bernie Sanders after Sanders suggested Manchin could face a primary challenger.
  • The two senators are both in Democratic leadership, but they have an increasingly fraught relationship.
  • Manchin has come under fire for his position on the filibuster and Build Back Better.
Sen. Joe Manchin snapped at Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday after the former presidential candidate and Vermont senator mused that Manchin could face a primary challenge after he voted against the party's efforts to weaken the Senate filibuster.

"Well Senator Sanders is not a Democrat," Manchin told Newsy's Nathaniel Reed while back in West Virginia, pointing out that Sanders is a self-described Democratic socialist. Manchin said Sanders' ideology is "not what I think the majority of Americans represent."

Manchin and Sanders are both members of the Senate Democratic leadership. But they have an increasingly icy relationship due to their divergent views on how to move forward on Biden's economic agenda and voting rights.

"They have forced us to have five months of discussions that have gone absolutely nowhere. I think it's up to the people in their own states," Sanders said to reporters last week when asked if he would support a primary challenge to Manchin, HuffPo reported.

Manchin told Newsy he would welcome a primary challenge. A successor to a dominant West Virginia family and a former governor, Manchin has easily dispatched previous primary challengers. He won his 2018 primary by nearly 40 percentage points.

"I've always had primary challenges. I've been running since 1982," Manchin said. "And I've never ran… one race where there wasn't a primary. So it's nothing new for me."

Sanders, who is an independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats and ran twice for Democratic presidential nomination, supported an effort to make an exception to the Senate filibuster to pass voting rights legislation. Manchin has said he supports the legislation itself, but he and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have remained staunchly opposed to any efforts to weaken the filibuster.

Manchin also dealt a significant setback to Biden's agenda in December when he declared that he could not support the president's climate and spending plan, known as "Build Back Better." Sanders has repeatedly pressed for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to hold a vote on the proposal in its current form even if it fails.

I think it's because when the pandemic started Fauci was painted as the Science Pope, an infallible man with a heart of gold who just wanted to do the right thing using the powers of Science(tm), so now they can't report that he tortured dogs in brutal fucking ways for no tangible gains or reason because if they do then they'll just look like massive retards who just praised and elevated him to the point of essentially becoming a saint just because he went against the bad Orange demon.

(also nice custom title, very based)

Excuse you, he is not the science pope he is the science itself, check your facts before you ruin your credibility like that.

Got to love Manchin here
 
You'd think the Dems would reel it back in after it became clear they weren't going to be able to bully Manchin.

But nope, let's go another round of threats, I'm SURE it'll work this time.

They don't really have much else, though. They can't offer him anything he'd be willing to risk what he's got for, so all they've got left is threats.
 
It's Null's sandbox, so his rules. That said considering the apparent janny changes of this and the previous threads subtitle was to rib us I would think people responding with ribbing "tranny janny" ect. would be fair game. I didn't see anyone call out the mod by name but maybe I missed something. Either way if one of the rules of the site is to not insult the jannies just let us know.


Back to Biden. Has there been a worse 3 week stretch for any president ever? The hits haven't stopped coming for almost a month now.

Seems like the Democrats selected Hochul because the liberal women of New York got tired of the liberal men sniffing their panties while virtue signaling niggers, and wanted to turn New York into a dead gay nigger commie run state themselves.

I believe it. Liberal women in NY are just that fucking retarded, ESPECIALLY in the city.

When Trump became a thing, and even president, all you fucking saw on dating profiles of NY women were shit like "If you voted for trump, don't bother contacting me, I want someone that shares my political views". Well, clearly they got what they wanted, and rather than take responsibilities for their poor decisions (and go for men that 1. aren't liberal and/or 2. won't turn into scumbags later on), they would rather nuke an entire fucking city just to shift blame off themselves.

Every decision Hochul has made has been a horrible one. I knew the instant this bitch was useless when she uttered the phrase "CLIMATE CHANGE" after the hurricane turned the subways into a fish tank, rather than, you know, spend money to fix the subways.

For those that aren't aware, politicians in other counties of NY (like Nassau County on long island) ain't taking her shit anymore. The Supreme court ruled the mask mandate in NY unconstitutional on monday. The only group of people that are still being adamant about the masks are schools because according to "mental health experts" they say that "these constant back and forth is upsetting the students so we are keeping the masks on as to not upset them"

EDIT: Nevermind, appellate judge put masks back on the table (Archive: https://archive.md/TsvDT )

What are the chances Biden does some hail-mary shit like ordering the DoE to forgive student loans? I could see that flipping some votes in his favor.

Biden can do that. There's no such thing as "forgiving" a loan. The money has to come from somewhere, so whenever you hear people demanding the government "forgive student debt!", what they're actually saying is "I want the government to pay off my student debt using taxpayer dollars!".
