Washington Post: Some conservatives see “Twitterfiles” as a dud. “It’s not really the smoking gun we’d hoped for,”

[toobfreak]

Nah. I actually read articles.

National Enquirer and USA Today?

I don’t just look at the headlines and go with the vibes like you guys.

Don't you even scratch & sniff the small enclosed foul odor packets?!

In this case, it’s all on Twitter which most of you say you’ll never use.

I use Twitter all the time, like when someone posts a link to a picture or video there. Seems these days, even major publications can't print anything themselves, instead, they always refer you to a Twitter link! Everything is on Twitter! Damn, that Elon Musk guy sure made himself a grand investment!

 

[Mac1958]

Hunters CHILD MOLESTING believe it or not is the side story. But because they are CHINESE MINOR SEX SLAVES they don't even qualify for a side story.

The man is the worst of the worst of the worst and DUMBFUCKS like you make light of it.

Child molesting enablers are as bad as the molesters themselves.


**** YOU MAC

Could you calm down and show me what you're talking about?

I'm not denying anything. I'm just trying to cut through all the noise. As usual.

Just be specific for a change.

In that case, conservatives of Twitter have gotten themselves worked into a frenzy pinning “censorship” on the government despite the fact that Taibbi himself acknowledges the government played no role based in his review of the emails.

Even worse, the emails haven’t even reviewed by anyone else and we don’t know the stipulations Taibbi had to agree to in order to get exclusive access.

**** YOU MAC

Look at the rage and anger and confidence you have on media reports you’ve heard about somebody you don’t even know. That’s what sheep do. Pathetic.

The authorities have all the “evidence” that you’ve seen to make your accusations. If the evidence is verified then hinter will be arrested. If not then you’re just another gullible puppet of media hyperbole

 

[Uncensored2008]

Yes. do you expect Tucker Carlson not to pretend this is yuuuge?

Will the Jeff Bezos Hate Blog, The Amazon.Com Post be hiring assassins to kill Musk? Maybe chipping in on the one Biden is hiring?

Will Bia Dang dispatch Oberfuhrer Garland and the FBI to arrest Musk on charges of "sedition" (illegal speech against the Reich)?

 

[Uncensored2008]

The Washington post noted nobody collided with Twitter. making claims in a message board isn’t going to make a TwitterGate a thing.

Bezo's Hate blog helped censor what was allowed on Twitter,

Lying on this message board isn't going to make Twittergate go away.

In that case, conservatives of Twitter have gotten themselves worked into a frenzy pinning “censorship” on the government despite the fact that Taibbi himself

Look, I don't give a flying crap what people do on Twitter, the fact remains that we now have it confessed beyond a shadow of a doubt that government entities have been working with if not pressuring social media companies to alter or restrict content on a number of fronts in the government's interest. The idiot Joe Biden has even admitted as much and championed it. In effect, creating a partnership with private industry to do through them what the government is not allowed to do themselves, openly and directly, circumventing the intent of the law.

Zuckerberg has told us how the FBI has come to him repeatedly with directives on content that might help Trump or hurt Biden, and before that, he was hip deep in tampering with the 2020 election giving 413 million dollars to shadow organizations which would be proactive in scurrilously affecting election proceedings to stop Trump from being reelected.

So no, there is no unjustified "frenzy." Just alarm at another egregious violation perpetrated by our government.

The USG has and will continue to be in the business of combating foreign interference into our elections, which uses social media as their main tool.

It’s not a partisan thing, except for the fact that the foreign interference is overwhelming directed at hurting Biden and helping Trump.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

This Washington Post article on “Twittergate” is very good:

Well ya can't say the elites aren't on to something when they insist a large portion of the population has to go.....

Pyetro have you been boosted ?

 

[toobfreak]

The USG has and will continue to be in the business of combating foreign interference into our elections,

Meanwhile, also in the business of meddling in other country's elections, a la Obumma and Netanyahu.

which uses social media as their main tool.

Should have thought of that when they created social media.

It’s not a partisan thing,

Get real.

except for the fact that the foreign interference is overwhelming directed at hurting Biden and helping Trump.

But I thought Trump was the laughing stock of the world! Now you are admitting the world wants ANYONE BUT BIDEN, America's alleged most popular president ever?

The Obama and Israeli election story is right wing media hype.

Trump is the laughing stock of the world, which is why our enemies want him to be president.

Social media is used by foreign opponents to affect our elections. The government will continue to fight against this.

/----/ Stay tuned boys and girls. There's more to come.

 

[martybegan]

“The Twitter thread, based on internal communications posted by Substack writer Matt Taibbi, showed the company independently decided to limit the spread of the article, without Democratic politicians, the Biden campaign or FBI exerting control over the social media network. In fact, the only input from a sitting politician that Taibbi noted was from Silicon Valley Rep. Ro Khanna (D), who told Twitter executives they should distribute the story, regardless of the potential consequences for his party.” ibid

Yet another rightwing lie debunked.

Internal communications.

We haven't seen the EXTERNAL communications yet, and I'm wondering if we will ever.

Musk can release internal memos and emails, his lawyers maybe have to figure out how he would release the external ones.

If they exist at all in the "official" twitter communication channels. If they were done on the sly we may never see them.

Can we clarify if I am incorrect here.

If its to be believed, HB traded on his name to be on boards and get more money than he should given his normal talents.

Ok. Thats why nepotism is bad. Absent showing monies flowed to Joe Biden, then...and? Its literally done by every politician that ever lived in the US. I am fully for making it harder through criminalizing it as much as possible but...er...so what?

You want Trump to be president?

Is that what your Emperor Xi wants?

Nice attempt to spin.

No, he didn't "trade on his name," he sold access to the white house, directly to the vice president of the United States. Influence peddling.

 

[Marener]

Nothing fascist about us. Know what is fascist?

Demanding we suspend the constitution in order to install Trump to the presidency.

That’s unequivocally fascist.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Nothing fascist about us. Know what is fascist?

Typical exchange with a democrat:

democrat: Fascism is right wing
American: What makes it right wing?
d: Because it's fascist
A: Okay, but what makes fascism right wing?
d: because it's capitalist
A: Weren’t Mussolini and Hitler collectivists with the state controlling the means of production?
d: They were corporatists
A: So they sold stock in and exchange?
d: well, there were private owners
A: So there was no exchange or stock involved like a corporation would use?
d: greedy Capitalists pigs
A: but there was no stock for the public to buy and ownership was set by the party that ruled the government?
d: see - capitalists
A: Government controlling the means of production is capitalism?
d: Racist
A: isn't racism a collectivist concept? The denial of individualism in favor of group identity?
d: Racism is right wing
A: From the trail of tears, slavery, the Klan, Jim Crow, to BLM, haven't the democrats been behind virtually all racism in America?
d: Democrats were Republicans back then
A: That's just stupid. Back to fascism.
d: Fascism is right wing
A: Fascism holds that the state - the government, is supreme. Isn't that what democrats claim?
d: Republicans are fascists
A: Don't Republicans advocate for individual civil rights?
d: We need courts to make laws at the federal level to ensure rights for women by imposing law from the top
A: shouldn't people decide for themselves on a state by state basis?
d: You're destroying democracy

Demanding we suspend the constitution in order to install Trump to the presidency.

You Nazis democrat demand we end the Constitution all the time.

Did you just convict a person for speech against your Reich? You want to imprison people for speaking - which destroys the 1st Amendment. You put political prisoners in the gulag for protesting against you - which destroys the constitutional right to assembly.

That’s unequivocally fascist.

It's certainly stupid, but doesn't even come close to using the FBI to censor social media as the Nazi democrat party did - now proven.

 

[Marener]

democrat: Fascism is right wing
American: What makes it right wing?

Suffice to say your little conversation doesn’t understand what fascism is. First and foremost, fascism isn’t an economic system, it’s a political one. Fascists think the nation state takes precedence over all. Whatever economic system helps that is best. No, there is not collective ownership of the means of production. In fact, fascists grew out of a counter movement to socialists.

What is fascism? It’s a fanatic devotion to a national identity that doesn’t really exist. That identity is usually mono-culture, mono-race and mono-religion. So the idea that white Christians should dominate the US is indeed fascist. Multiculturalism is the opposite. Moreover, they had an adherence to notions of national strength, specifically by venerating the military and police. They reject multi-nationalism. They reject globalism. Both of these dilute national characteristics. There’s more. It’s complicated.

You Nazis democrat demand we end the Constitution all the time.

Did you just convict a person for speech against your Reich? You want to imprison people for speaking - which destroys the 1st Amendment. You put political prisoners in the gulag for protesting against you - which destroys the constitutional right to assembly.

The 1st amendment has always been limited. Obviously. You know as well as I do that, for example, incitement to violence is not protected speech. This is a stupid point.

Trump literally called for the suspension of the constitution in order for him to be installed as president. That’s absolutely batshit crazy.

It's certainly stupid, but doesn't even come close to using the FBI to censor social media as the Nazi democrat party did - now proven.

Not proven. Taibbi specifically notes that the government didn’t censor anyone.
