At his post-election press conference Wednesday President Biden was asked if he had concerns about Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter. "I think that Elon Musk's cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at," he responded.
"Look, we had a great relationship with Twitter before Musk butted in," the President said. "They were very compliant with our desire to censor erroneous information, ideas, and opinions. Trump was permanently banned. Questions about the covid vaccines were quickly stifled. Dissent from our policy on the war in Ukraine was suppressed. Musk has reneged on all of this. He says Twitter will allow freedom of speech now that he is in charge. This poses a direct threat to our security. So, hell yeah, we're going to look for any way we can to persuade him to get back in line."
"Examining the transactions he's had with other companies could turn up something fishy," Biden added. "Maybe he's getting payoffs from China or Russia. What might these countries be expecting in return? I mean, considering that we are subsidizing the purchase of his electric vehicles I find his unwillingness to cooperate with us to fight against the disinformation that Twitter users will now be able to disseminate under his self-proclaimed 'freedom of speech absolutism' ungrateful. I'd prefer that he cooperate voluntarily, but if duress is required to influence how he runs that company I am ready to provide it."

Wow. So blatant is Biden’s disregard of our 1st amendment rights that I am almost stunned. Almost. I feel like I’m living in 1932 Germany.
For some time sword was knocking around in my head, just couldn’t bring it forth. Then I remembered.
Imbecile!
That’s what Joe is.
A very slight correction. Otherwise, terrific. You must be reading their minds, John.
yes, I am
