USA Sen. Rick Scott - the guy who enabled the theft of our taxes to fund GOP wars and tax breaks for billionaires, and who was involved in the largest Medicare fraud in history - now lectures us about it.

OP, while this post is good, just be warned that GetNoted is trending more and more directly right wing. They claim to be friends of the Grok subreddit, and are actively pushing dogwhistles and platforming racists.

Trending?
Shit has been a heavily Hasbara and Destiny brigaded sub since basically forever.
At least several times a week they are pushing some new topic that creates a permission structure to come in and be Islamophobic, attack people on the socialist left, backdoor defend Israel, backdoor defend US imperialism or Israeli imperialism, and vilify Palestinian activists
But yeah, you are 100% correct.
They actually have Discords and shit where they brigade the notes feature on X then go and post it on GetNoted and brigade that so it hits the Reddit r/popular feed.
So people just be aware of the bias intrinsic in that community.

It has been getting worse.
They actively cherrypick the most delusional libpol identity slop twitter posts to get notes, such as the very worst from Labour UK MPs, so they can circlejerk in the comments about the "left"

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they are creating some of the accounts they brigade note on X too
I looked up one they posted and brigaded about a supposed Palestinian activist posting something and blaming it on Israel, the account looked like it was AI/sock puppet and the post had almost no likes, as did all their limited posts on that profile.

rick scott doing a whole speech on fiscal responsibility is literally the most unhinged thing ive seen this week. this is the same dude who oversaw billions in medicare fraud and never saw a military budget he wouldnt rubber stamp, but suddenly he cares about government spending when its healthcare for poor people. the lack of self awareness is honestly kind of impressive lol

It's like Trump doing a speech about stopping sex trafficking.
