I've been trying different search engines and was pleasently surprised by startpage so i started looking into startmail too and then when i searched for startmail i saw they have a link directly to their dan bongino section https://www.startmail.com/bongino so thats a huge pass from me

EDIT: looks like they saw this thread or something and decided to have the link redirect to the homepage with the discount applied and removed his picture etc from their website. Here's an archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20250120094905/https://www.startmail.com/bongino/

    he's a very conservative podcast host whos now the FBI deputy director who pushed the conspiracy theory that trump actually won the 2020 election and rallied against face masks and "In 2018, Bongino said, "My entire life right now is about owning the libs. That's it."" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Bongino

    He is also a former Secret Service agent. You can dislike him but at least include that he has a bit of LE experience.

    Hell, this has "I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?" vibes.

    I mean, I've technically designed a component that's gone into numerous commercial aircraft. Does that make me qualified to head up the FAA? Or would that make me qualified to lead NASA?

    These chuds are so unqualified to lead any of these departments. The one saving grace as that none of these guys know what they are doing, so short of firing people, they're just going to embarrass themselves for the next 4 years.

    Such a weird thing for them to do - why would a Dutch company highlight a connection with a US Trump supporter? Is it a very recent thing? Like Proton's CEO massaging Trump's ego?

    Am I missing something or did they take it down? That link redirects to https://www.startmail.com/ for me.
