Barr: Hold my beer. lol

But honestly this should lead to immediate impeachment, if not imprisonment. I consider this a yuge bombshell, but we all know how corrupt and rigged the system is, so it will be an uphill battle to achieve anything significant.

Brandon will make a deal and pardon himself and his family and their future unborn children. This will get buried.

May even have another trick added. While he is pardoning his own, Brandon will pardon Trump for whatever invented crime they stick on Trump so that Brandon can magnanimously claim to "put all this behind us and move on to serve the American people."

LOL, that would shock the shit out of this world. Trump was an outsider. It is astonishing that they allowed him to serve 1 term. Its atypical in closed systems. Insider vs outsider is a thing.

Vijaya Gadde was the woke attorney of Twitter. Seems like its the governments that don't want freedom of speech from what she is saying. What would you do if you were in their shoes in response to legal demands? This is the real world, it was and will be like this going forward.

I'd expose the government. On a communication platform, I'd publish the demands and any phone calls I had with them, and point out this is a violation of the 1st amendment and the people making these demands are traitors to the Constitution, and that everybody that joined the military has an taken an oath to fight against such people.

The thing is Twitter was made from the ground up to be a propaganda platform. It was designed to push establishment narratives and to promote celebrities. It was never meant to be a place for open discussion. This is why Twitter never really did well or made any money. The only time people paid attention to it was when Trump was on it.

People know this already. There is nothing they can do that will change things.

YOU know this, trust me "people" don't.

Most people don't know what is censored or why. They denied censorship for years. Trust me on this one.

You blow the whistle when the government does something illegal. That's what you do. You don't cooperate, you (very politely) tell them to go get fucked, and you tell them to stop being traitors, and you have to be as explicit and as plain as that and I have been as plain as that. I'll get PeopleUnited all paranoid if I explained my DIRECT experience. I've been subject to intimidation and I threw it right in their face, and started asking them what rights did they have to X, Y, Z, etc. I explained crimes they've done, I've pointed it out, I explained how they could verify what I said was correct and when I was done, a very shaky voice hung up on on me.

Your average shithead has NO CLUE what they are doing. They just bureaucrats following orders. They don't think.

Just like only you can allow yourself to be insulted, only you can allow yourself to be intimidated.

I have always thought that everyone I see is at least as smart as me or smarter. But a street smart friend who manages 400 employees at GM echoes what you say. I am going to assume that you and my GM friend are likely correct. I find it difficult to believe but I guess I am wrong.

I'm getting more positive about everything. They REALLY want the "Right" to do something violent that they can run with. The FIB is obsessed with creating Right Wing Extremist acts.

More and more people see something wrong, many feel too powerless, isolated, etc. to "Do anything" about it.

I talk to people in meatspace and the number of times Manufactured Consent BS simply comes up without prodding from me is astonishing.

"Use the Male Insert"
"These days, who knows. That Swimmer Guy one?"
3 women laugh, two of them under 30, and both Black.

I've heard 3 Black Chicks tell me Trump was great, when talking about jobs/money not politics directly.
"I made more money under Trump than I ever did before"

Why won't they just manufacture their Gliewitz? Because there are too many leakers. They have to push it as indirectly as they can.

Now they still might, but I think the cynicism/skepticism level is so high now... it may just not work.

Musk appoints WEF member as Twitter CEO. And no one paying attention is surprised...

Tulsi was a WEF member as well. It's certainly not reassuring, but in the end it is about how much censorship will or won't happen, actions are far more important than affiliations.

Yeah, look at the image, and look closer at Tulsi's affiliation. Apples and Oranges.

And on the "free-speech" doesn't exist on any mainstream platform my friend. Don't tell me you think Twitter is completely open now. Musk has not re-instated accounts, and blocked plenty. A watered down version of the truth is still a lie..

Of course not, but it's made huge strides since the "pajeet" was in charge, so no, we don't want any of those idiots back. If she makes problems, people will revolt and she will be switched out. Don't forget Musk needs to make money on it, what he paid was one of the worst deals in history. Let truth social win, I don't care. You gotta wait at this point, will Tucker start a show on titter, etc. etc.

KD called her out on the vaccine pushing and demanded gallows a la @Patrick, and got suspended for 12 hours:

YUP.

I told people not to trust Musk.

It's fine to have hope, but deadly to have trust.

mell says

No, this isn't correct.

I'm 51, when I was 30, and some shithead company started pulling crap like censorship, the engineers and users fled the company. This happened to Yahoo! - remember the former "king of the Internet"? If you were right, Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter wouldn't exist today - or at least they would be minor players.

A company that engaged in the SNIFF of censorship sank in days, not even weeks or months, this is why corporations lie about their censorship. This is why companies hide behind "terms of service". Most employees don't know, they honestly do not.

And you're like "how can't they possibly NOT know" - well mask up and take an experimental vaccination for a disease which you have over a 99% survival rate. People are easily controlled. They are shockingly easy to control. More easily controlled than I ever imagined. They are so easily manipulated, I'm honestly questioning if they are seriously really human beings and I'm not kidding. It's not just intelligence, it's awareness, and most people I know aren't aware. They are more machine than animal.

The Chick is WEF ... BUT... she DOES know how to get paid for content. Musk remains in charge of several twitter departments and in overall control of the company.

And it was INSTANT, just like the way I was suspended for saying "Trans is a contagious mental illness."

This drew me an INSTANT 12 hour suspension for "harassment."

Here's what the guy said:

A WEF lackey and jab-happy mastermind who in fact conned 2/3rds of this nation, on purpose, into taking said jabs under false pretense. She deserve the gallows but then again Musk has billions of reasons to not care about the PEOPLE in this country and, indeed, worldwide.

I'm pretty sure Twitter has woke AI policing and insta-banning now. No human could possibly have operated as fast as I was banned at least.

It's happened to me. Again, it's a Rube Goldberg machine in there and Tesla Software and old Paypal people brought in are scratching their heads at how everything works. Every couple of weeks they warn users of downtime or slowdowns as they test hypothesis about how Twitter actually works.

There's no doubt Ace Tomato Company and the Hoover Institute have had insiders, or their own people, implementing "tools" whose function, design, and placement are deliberately made obtuse.

Maybe there is a way to beat woke Twitter algorithms. Use variations of words that the algorithm may not be able to figure out and flag?

Musk subpoenaed in the Epstein case against JP Morgan. Just a reminder, Musk is NOT your friend.

You assume they are good intentions. They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.

Elon Musk Punches Back at CNBC After Having His Tweets Labeled as ‘Conspiracy Theories’
“Honestly, some of these conspiracy theories have turned out to be true.”

... “You do some tweets that seem to be or at least give support to some who would call others conspiracy theories,” stated Mr. Faber.

“Well, yes, but I mean, honestly, some of these conspiracy theories have turned out to be true,” retorted Mr. Musk.

“Which ones?” asked Faber.

“Well, like the Hunter Biden laptop,” mentioned Musk.

“That’s true,” acknowledged Faber.

“That was a pretty big deal,” emphasized Musk. “There was Twitter, and others engaged in active suppression of information that was relevant to the public. That’s a terrible thing that happened. That’s election interference.” ...

“Even today, Elon, you tweeted this about George Soros,” Faber mentioned.

“I said he [Soros] kind of reminds me of Magneto. Calm down, people,” replied Musk. “[Let’s] not like make a federal case out of it.”

“You said he wants to erode the very fabric of civilization, and Soros hates humanity,” continued Faber.

“Yeah, I think that’s true. That’s my opinion,” replied Musk.

“Okay, But why share it?” Faber asked. “Why share it when people who buy Teslas may not agree with you? Advertisers on Twitter may not agree with you? … It makes you a lightning rod for criticism. I mean, do you like that?” he asked. “People today [are] saying he [Elon] is an anti-semite. I don’t think you are,” expressed Faber.

“No, I’m definitely not,” replied Musk. “I’m like a pro-semite if anything.”

“But why would you even introduce the idea then that would be the case?” asked Faber.

Elon Musk replied by setting up a scene from The Princess Bride, which he called a “great movie.”

“I’m reminded of the scene in The Princess Bride. Great movie. Great movie — where he [Inigo Montoya] confronts the person who killed his father. He says, offer me money; offer me power. I don’t care.”

“So you just don’t care?” questioned Faber.

“I’ll say what I want to say,” replied Musk, “and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it.” ...

“When you link to somebody who’s talking about the guy who killed children in a mall in Allen, Texas. And you say something like it might be a bad psyop. I’m not quite sure what you meant,” professed Faber.

“It [Allen, Texas mall shooting] was, I think, incorrectly ascribed to be a white supremacist action [in the media],” replied Musk. “And the evidence for that was some obscure Russian website that no one’s ever heard of that had no followers. And the company that found this is Bellingcat.”

“And you know what Bellingcat does?” asked Musk. “Psyops,” he answered.

“I’m saying that I thought ascribing it to white supremacy was bullsh*t,” conveyed Musk. “And that the information came from an obscure Russian website and was somehow magically found by Bellingcat, which is a company that does psyops.”

“And there’s no proof, by the way, that he was not [a white suppremacist],” retorted Faber.

“I would say that there’s no proof that he is,” countered Musk.

“And that’s a debate you want to get into on Twitter?” asked Faber.

“Yes,” replied Musk, “because we should not be ascribing things to white supremacy if it’s false.”

David Faber: So you want to fuck with my master, the establishment?
Elon Musk: Yes
David Faber: Are you sure? You don't want to suck establishment balls (like I do)?
Elon Musk: No. I don't get my paycheck from the establishment.

Patrick says

Unless I missed it, no one called out the 800lbs gorilla in the room... that thing is ugly as fuck. Lazy eye. And WTF is she wearing for what is a business function? She's wearing a faux leather shit or jacket? Is that a zipper on it? This looks more like a BSDM conference.

The way professional women dress and look matters. I don't care if that's sexist. If I'm fat at 350lbs and look gross women and men will always judge me as being a lesser human (I'm not fat). That's just fact, unless you're fat yourself. You're still judging your fatness to me.

Anyhow, whoever he picked was going to be ripped apart either way. I don't think it's a good hire so not going to rehash everyone's comments. But I also don't use Twitter or generally give a shit about it all. It was a dying platform before Trump. If the thing dies guess what, Musk won't pay federal taxes personally for life given what he paid for it. He'll keep getting government contracts for his other businesses. He just won't take income from them and pay himself from Twitter as it slowly dies as it was before.

Kind of a brilliant strategy assuming he truly is the sole owner of Twitter.

Musk bought Twitter to make more money on tax losses and not pay tax. No one here is paying the highest marginal tax rate. At billions 37% tax rate is a lot and that's not including the corporate tax rate. He's gaming the system and knows he bought a loser. He can carry forward losses and pay himself what he wants. This is what rich people do.

WookieMan says

You mean pay himself whatever salary, benefits, perks etc. he wants and then if it doesn't work out, just declare bankruptcy and move on? Trying to understand.
