    Nobody cares about Hunter Biden's dick pics. There's a bigger story here that you not surprisingly don't care about.

    That his father's presidential campaign asked Twitter to remove Hunters leaked nudes from the site, since it was illegal to post them and against Twitter's longstanding rules anyway?

    That bigger story? :chris:

    "If you don't want to see Hunter's pee-pee, you hate freedom!! :shakefist:"
    That's basically the rhetorical corner the rabid-right are painted into at this point.

    You have written more than someone like Tererun slobbering in anticipation of Hunter Biden dick pics. You want to see those pics more than Hershel Walker wants to be a werewoof. You have written more about your desire to see little Biden's limp cocaine filled dick than there are words in Dayton Kitchen's diary.

    You are not fooling anyone.

    Part 5 has dropped.
    12. But the Twitter staff assigned to evaluate tweets quickly concluded that Trump had *not* violated Twitter’s policies.“I think we’d have a hard time saying this is incitement,” wrote one staffer.

    28. Things escalate from there. Members of that team came to “view him as the leader of a terrorist group responsible for violence/deaths comparable to Christ church shooter or Hitler and on that basis and on the totality of his Tweets, he should be de-platformed.”
    Every accusation is an admission.

    Here we get to the meat of it.
    43. Ultimately, the concerns about Twitter’s efforts to censor news about Hunter Biden’s laptop, blacklist disfavored views, and ban a president aren’t about the past choices of executives in a social media company.
    44. They’re about the power of a handful of people at a private company to influence the public discourse and democracy.

    In other words, try and influence the voters to vote a certain way.

    7. There were dissenters inside Twitter. “Maybe because I am from China,” said one employee on January 7, “I deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation.”

    I’m happy they cut him off Twitter. It was a great decision. It was completely toxic and bad for America having him there and you’re all better off as a result

    Your binary thinking is moronic. It's possible to not like Trump and still believe that what Twitter did was wrong. It does not shock me one bit that you don't have a problem with Twitter banning people who don't violate their terms of service, after all, you've done the same thing here.

    I've held your hand long enough. I've re-posted what Bari Weiss posted today about Twitter. You can read it all yourself. I'm not holding your hand any more. If you can't see the bigger picture here and make Hunter Biden dick jokes or you can open your fucking eyes and see the truth.

    Yes, @Diacanu you have to listen to every fucking idiot in the world before you can claim any opinion. How do you knw the moon is not made out of cheese and the earth is round when you only listen to scientists and factual data?

    Republicons like FF are soi full of shit when they try to claim that just because you have not listened to the random ideas of some idiot you are not paying attention. We have been paying attention and that is why we all know there is nothing there, and nothing has been offered up to refute that.

    Fuck, remember when he banned trans people from the military in a series of poorly worded tweets, and in between the first and second tweet his own generals weren't sure if he was about to declare war on another country or not? And so they had to just sit tight and wait for the next tweet while hoping North Korea or Iran or whoever wouldn't just start firing missiles because they thought they were about to be under attack anyway?

    He'd have been banned years earlier if he hadn't been a sitting president.
