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/

Who’s Dan 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’s subscribed to just about every conspiracy theory imaginable & advocating for killing Democrats. It would be like Alex Jones becoming FBI deputy director.
Ew, gross. I wonder if that’s why I stopped using startpage…? It’s been so long since I bothered, but at least I know now why it should be avoided.
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.
What does that have to do with anything?
It is kind of relevant that he has some relevant experience for becoming the deputy director of the FBI. Now, some people don’t like cops, the FBI or his politics, but that’s a different discussion entirely.
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?

They have a special discount with his code and mention its for fans of his so they sponsored his podcast directly
Am I missing something or did they take it down? That link redirects to https://www.startmail.com/ for me.
Wow it didn’t do that before it was a dedicated site with his photo and his endorsement i edited the OP to include a archive.org link
