Sackler Family

One of the wealthiest families in America who are complicit in the opioid crisis, thanks to Purdue Pharma (which they own) peddling Oxycontin aggressively & misleading its potency.

The Sackler Family are basically white collar drug lords

Kevin McCarthy

The loathsome and pathetic Republican House Minority Leader of Congress

Lord help us if a partisan wimp like Kevin McCarthy ever becomes Speaker of the House. The guy would kill his mother to please the former guy

Theranos

A defunct health care corporation invented by Elizabeth Holmes that was once considered revolutionary in conducting blood tests that required only a finger-prick but there was one big problem; it was too good to be true. It was a big sham. The technology was worthless (engineers with their PhD's couldn't get the blood testing equipment to work), the tests were highly inaccurate (one example; a patient complained about ringing in her ears, Theranos test said she was at risk of having a stroke, her doctor thought something seemed off, gave her a real blood test and it turned out the symptoms were just the result of insomnia!), investors were mislead despite a boatload of red flags (Theranos never demonstrated the technology and showed them the labs. Investors just liked the cool idea of a test requiring just a drop of blood), the company was tyrannical chaos and mistreated their employees pretty harshly, etc.

Holmes and her equally scummy partner/sugar daddy Sunny Balwani have been indicted for wire fraud. Just read the book "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup" by John Carreryrou if you want to get the full details. A must-read.

I'm just glad I never got sick and relied on a Theranos blood test. I might have died!

Mainstream Media

A pejorative used by dumb right-wingers that get their information through Facebook memes and YouTube conspiracy theorists

I hate to break it to you, hillbilly, but credible sources that actually fact check are a part of the mainstream media

Model Mayhem

A networking site geared towards aspiring models and photographers. It would be a great site, but it has flaws that are enough to overlook the pros. It's EXTREMELY unprofessional. For starters, the moderators are always on their high-horse & they'll ban members without any kind of warning if you get into a political/soapbox argument on the forums (I fail to see the connection between off-topic arguments & expanding your portfolio). And there's alot of perverted photographers who lack talent that are only interested in finding attractive models to shoot nude (or nearly nude) for their own personal pleasures & provide no benefit for the model.

Overall, Model Mayhem sucks & avoid it like a plague! It's only a matter of time before the site crashes & burns (which it will).

Skeeter: I want to build a portfolio with some nice photos. I'll join Model Mayhem.

Homer: Don't. It's unprofessional & shitty. It's full of pervy photographers who just want to see you naked & idiot moderators who exert their power plays & punish you for name-calling on the forums.

Skeeter: Okay, nevermind. I don't have to join to know that site sucks cock

Lauren Boebert

Another one of those nutjob conspiracy theorist US House members that represent America's right-winged bottom of the barrel and the QAnon cult.

Lauren Boebert is just as crazy as Marjorie Taylor Greene

AOC

A self-righteous congresswoman whose populist rhetoric, purity circle jerks & grandstanding are doing more harm than good for the Democratic party.

James: Will AOC be President some day?

Alex: No, she wouldn't be able to win a statewide election in New York let alone a primary. She's useless other than being a lightning rod that energizes the GOP.
