Anyone else noticed tankies seem to have gotten quieter as well?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Remarkable, isn't it
No.. but that is probably because I have collected a small list of the most active halfwhits in my blocklist.
I hope more of them get called out.
I also hope they have to pay back their "earnings".
$100.000 a week? Throw them in prison.
It's funny how fox and right wing news cherry picks the info they say the DOJ is calling Russian propaganda while saying that this is clamping down on free speech.
We don't care that these people are saying inflation isn't great and people are struggling fiscally...we care that they're blasting out the message that "Ukraine is the enemy" and "we should apologize to Russia". It also looks like they've been pushing weird Kamala sex stuff lies too. It's a classic lie sandwich, a lie told between two "truths".
[Tim] Pool said on his podcast that he’s been contacted by federal authorities and plans to provide a voluntary interview.
Of course, the first rat to jump off the ship and into the federal lifeboat is Tim Pool. Not even slightly surprised.
From here, it'll be a race to give statements and turn on each other as all the best deals get made to the earliest and most thorough cooperators.
Charlie is not an activist, he is a radical. More accurately, he is a terrorist who bussed other terrorists to attack the Capitol on January 6th.
He's a terrorist that our government has declined to prosecute.
Traitor.
They engaged in treason. The word is traitor.
Unprosecuted is the word I fixate on
The standard response is: the DOJ must be lying. MAGA is particularly susceptible to misinformation at this point, so for many, that claim may be enough.
