    Secret society?

    “TPM was able to reveal the inner workings of the Society for American Civic Renewal in March using emails and documents largely obtained via public records”

    More like, it’s not a secret but no one was looking into at all… This is why this country is fucked. We’re all too tired and broke to worry about looking into anything except our hobbies and leisure. Which it leaves to “real journalists” who then create articles with headlines like this lol. Even after we read it, no one will care.

    I’m not doing anything to help here, but I’m too broke and tired and a new series just dropped plus I wanna get drunk and go to sleep.

    You’re welcome.

        No, but I “look into them” occasionally so I can see what I’m missing out on whilst my life passes me by

      Eh. The Freemasons and Skull and Bones are called secret societies but everyone knows what they do as well.

      In the case of the Freemasons, for literal centuries. They’re the most unsecret secret society ever… which is fine, because it’s a lot of stupid ceremonies for what’s basically just an excuse to get together and plan other activities. They’re harmless. They’re the guys who wear fezes and ride little motorcycles in parades throwing candy.

      They’re still supposedly a secret society though.
