Use duckduckgo or some other privacy friendly search site. Just look up privacy search. Preferably not with google. Changing the default is the first thing I do on a new device. Google pays billions to Apple (and others?) to make it the default.

DDG erases search history daily. And there are others, as well. Google never forgets and never says no to money or a toy badge.

Google owns youtube.

Look under search engines.

I don't know "connections" but actions and inactions speak loudly. Could be money laundering. They both live by it, AFAICT.

See "Scarface" and those duffel bags of money.

When Trump is sent up, he will probably get a cozy cell with his "goodfellas", and finally do something useful. usonian Dec 30 #4
