Thank you

Yes I watched it the day it came out VERY GOOD!!
Thanks! I always heard them say they couldn't play it but I didn't understand why.
It's so weird that the big social media platforms simultaneously decided to throw away their "platform, not a publisher" protection to suppress a flimsy nothingburger story that should be like the buzzing of flies to a candidate with an insurmountable lead in the polls.— John Hayward (@Doc_0) October 15, 2020
It almost makes you wonder if maybe that candidate knew even worse revelations were coming, so he got in touch with his very dear friends at the social media giants and told them to crush the early releases at all costs, to shut the whole chain of stories down.
DNC Media long ago mastered the art of the soft embargo. They simply refuse to amplify stories that don't fit their precious political narratives, while the stories that DO fit get wall-to-wall coverage. They don't confront Democrats about inconvenient stories.
We know all the tricks by heart: "Republicans pounce" framing, changing the subject, whataboutism, attacking the sources of inconvenient stories, downplaying them as "old news" or "debunked" when they really aren't.
For Big Tech to instantly leap directly to Chinese Communist-style hard embargoes - clumsy, obvious, and coordinated suppression of information, so ham-fisted that it clearly risks bringing government regulators down on their heads - over a trifling story seems illogical.
All the soft embargo tools were readily available. They could have said it was just "old news," everybody knows Hunter Biden is a train wreck. They could have used "Republicans pounce" to wave the whole thing off as a partisan smear. No way they'd ask Joe Biden for comment.
But instead they instantly leaped to an unprecedented level of China-style hard oppression that was all but guaranteed to make the story a much bigger deal, and their actions could well have disastrous repercussions for the Big Tech companies. And this fallout was predictable.
It doesn't take a genius to see that the New York Post isn't some internet rando with 100 followers who can be squashed without blowback, or to see that people become 1,000 times more interested in a story they are arrogantly ordered not to read.
And it's predictable that this hard embargo tactic would raise deafening cries of election interference, because it obviously IS. No bubble is thick enough to keep the people who did this from seeing what the response would be, but they did it anyway, without hesitation. /end
Thank you!
Wonder if Hiden Biden and Camela are getting a whiff of this?...would love to see her face turn ghost white reading about it during the hearing.
My observations here: https://t.co/1SAwTyEwk9 https://t.co/X4qDc2lPALp>
Great job, Cruz, Graham, and Hawley. I think the senator from Missouri did a good job explaining why these large monopolies are held more to account then a private website. He said it came under freedom of the press. And I believe it was Graham that said that they were publishers, TV, radio, all those things in one. So glad they’re finally going to be taken to account!
Sorry I haven’t been here through the rally, a friend from California called and we talked politics while listening to the rally. She’s in Bakersfield and people are having fun parades, she said her water aerobics class gets interrupted all the time because they are talking politics too much and don’t listen to the instructor.

WOW: Computer Repairman Who Exposed Biden Emails Says FBI Told Him to Stay Quiet https://t.co/B6vToaEXcT via @BigLeaguePol— Bo Snerdley (@BoSnerdley) October 15, 2020
Look carefully at what Twitter is saying to justify censoring the Biden story. If applied consistently, it’d mean that some of history’s most consequential journalism — the Pentagon Papers, WikiLeaks’ war logs, Snowden docs, Panama Papers, our Brazil Archive — would be banned. pic.twitter.com/pQziZr1qwT— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) October 15, 2020
Wonder if Twitter can explain the difference in this story and Trump’s tax returns??
*crickets*
SMH 😯
CNN totally disappeared the Hunter Biden laptop story. This is mind-boggling. pic.twitter.com/MacIxWOlxC— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) October 15, 2020
That is a new version of circular verification or debunking. The left will always find a way.
So the POWERS that be cancelled my interview on @CuomoPrimeTime tonight. I’ve actually been ban from @CNN for a few months so I was surprised they even asked. But it seems like they can’t handle the truth.— Ice Cube (@icecube) October 15, 2020
For those who don’t do twitter.....
“WOW: Computer Repairman Who Exposed Biden Emails Says FBI Told Him to Stay Quiet”
FTA:The Delaware computer repair man who revealed Hunter and Joe Biden’s email dealings with a Burisma executive told reporters that the FBI had asked him to stay quiet about his acquisition of Hunter Biden’s laptop after they recovered the device through federal subpoena.
John Paul Mac Isaac owns a Delaware Mac computer repair store. He came into possession of Hunter Biden’s water-damaged laptop in 2019. When the younger Biden never returned to his store to pay for the repairs Isaac carried out on the device, the Mac legally became the property of Isaac under the terms of the repair agreement with Biden- contrary to false information from Twitter and establishment liberals who claim that the laptop’s contents were “hacked.”
Isaac ultimately took the information contained within the laptop to Utah Senator Mike Lee and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani in turn reported the contents to the New York Post, leading to Wednesday’s bombshell report on its contents.
“They told me that nothing ever happens to people who don’t talk, the FBI, and that made me scared, because that’s not something I would expect the highest branch of,” said Isaac. “Don’t, don’t — It was more along the lines of, in our experiences when stuff like this happens nothing ever bad happens to people that keep quiet.” he added.
A reporter asked him if he believed the FBI was conducting a a “coverup” over the laptop and the subpoena, and he seemed to respond in the affirmative. “Yeah that’s how I feel about it kind of. Well s***. No comment–It’s too late.”
Isaac’s suggestion raises serious questions about the FBI’s involvement in his possession of the laptop.
Part of the article.
The Trump strategy is to be seen and heard by the public as much as possible.
The Biden/Harris strategy is to be seen and heard by the public as little as possible.
Democrats do not see this as a red flag.— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) October 15, 2020
I knew it was with underage girls these people ARE SICK as Trump would say!!!
