We heard what happened. That is some shit. First they make it a pain in the ass to read the site with all the ads and bloatware, now they want you to fucking pay for it? Sounds like a raw deal.

Well should you be turned off permanently by that proposition, this is a good time to (re-)introduce ourselves. Right now I go as NationalZero✓TEAM SOROS™ on Disqus, but you may also know me as SpartanWarrior✓ TEAM SOROS™. I’m not a regular presence on Mediaite, though I do comment there occasionally. My esteemed co-editor, Jackinec, however should be much more of a familiar Disqus avatar to you folks. Together, we run this upstart aggregator, NationalZero.com, taking the top stories, the dumbest stories, the shittiest stories out there in the world of politics and what not and squeeze them down to a quick newswire format like you see here. Sometimes a whole “article” is just a tweet from some moron like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Jim Jordan. Other times it’ll be a 40-second clip of dumbassery on Fox News. Or a screenshot of some really stupid right-wing memorabilia. The idea is to keep you informed and/or entertained, plain and simple.

Unlike Mediaite and some other sites out there, we’re in a transitional phase revenue-wise. The fake ads you see below are just illustrative for placement as we shop around for a direct sponsor. We will not be serving you ads for a pair of headphones you looked at four days ago on Amazon, because that’s bullshit and it slows down your browser. We do accept and appreciate donations via PayPal, but you owe us nothing. Contribute only if you want to and have the means to do so. Otherwise your readership and comments are support in and of themselves. Especially hot news tips.

With that, we’re looking forward to seeing you here if you don’t feel like spending whatever the hell Mediaite is charging per month. So welcome to National Zero.

And one last thing… There’s no Gipper here. That sick freak lurks around, but unlike on The Hill and Mediaite, he’s too chickenshit to comment here because he knows I’ll edit his comments to make him look like a deviant. Or more like a deviant than he already does.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL POINTS:

1. If your first few comments get placed in “Pending” just sit tight and I’ll manually approve you to comment going forward. It’s a stupid Disqus bug that they’re working on fixing.

2. You’re free to post memes, GIFs, tweets, etc in the comments, but that’s a trust system. ZERO TOLERANCE for any porn or otherwise graphic content. Use your brain with that. Some things we’ll let you off with a warning, other things are an immediate lifetime ban. You’re all adults.

3. This is a profanity-filter-free zone. Only racial and homophobic slurs are in the filter, as well as certain URL strings to block spammers. The word “href” is banned because of those bastards, so if you want to put a link in your comment, just put the URL. Hypertext is going to get put in pending.
