Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican nominee for Vice President, is not the cultural icon she was a decade ago. In March, she appeared on "The Masked Singer," where she sang "Baby Got Back" dressed in a pink bear costume
Palin was a huge embarrassment. And, our current Governor is far even-more *embarrassing* (read between the lines.) His name is Mike Dunleavy. You should all go and search for his antics. He's done for Alaska what Trump has done for America: Turned it into a *joke* (which, makes Alaska the biggest joke within the biggest joke in the entire world! Go us!)
I loved and respected Senator John McCain, but his introduction of Sarah Palin into national politics was such an unmitigated disaster for the country.
Almost literally every day I'm glad I deleted my Facebook account years ago. I'm trying to encourage my family members to do the same but they are hooked on their Groups, to oversharing, and performing identity to their friends and fam :(
Social media has been an easy way for Grifters, the practice of unethical behavior and utter falsehood to be the source of much profit and much division in this country. The event of a computer in a phone has helped us get where we are today.
... Here I sit typing away on this tiny keyboard both blessing and curse.
The presence of a UTM tracking code is not in general nefarious. Is the problem that Palin or her people add her name manually to the UTM? I just tried it with a link to this Popular Information article -- I removed the UTM code that was automatically generated and substituted my name as the source. Now you can tell how many of my friends on Facebook click on my link. ;) (No kickback to me required.)
Nobody needed to tell me. I live in AK.

Poor AK! You really have been doubly blessed then, haven’t you?

That’s an understatement. She managed to pull out the raw underbelly pelt that had managed to stay semi hidden up til then.
I read an article recently describing Sarah Palin as a sort of "proto-Trump" and this bit of grift helps make the analogy that much more apt.

I should be more fair, some of them have no other way of keeping abreast of family events and photos.

This is so vital. Thank you.
