So Apple apparently temporarily pulled advertising because they didn't want ads for their stuff to appear next to Tweets about the LGBTQ night club mass shooting. I'm guessing Tim Cook got a "I'll personally remove it" promise from Musk to handle such issues in order to keep advertising, as if that's the reasoning you'd think they'd be concerned about their stuff appearing in ads next to all the anti-Semitism and other white nationalist shit.

Is the left getting the Hunter Laptop story wrong?
I get it, its sort of a Franken moment, cause in comparison to what right?
But! The level of access from the Biden campaign reaching into twitter pulling on willing bodies to do its bidding seems wrong too. I know its the smallest burger ever. Still. Or am I losing it cause I saw the opinion expressed on CNN?

Or, is it possible, that you're getting it wrong? Not sure why you're tripping over Hunter's dick to play Elon's Advocate, but whatever, you do you.

That was the "Handled" "smoking gun" Musky tried to pass off as a scandal.

The list of links for removal were all Hunter's junk.

At this point I'm guessing Musk is personally jealous of Hunter's dick, since literally everything Musk makes a fuss about these days is due to personal slight that he feels.

I think the Biden camp has the right to ask that materials like dick pics taken from a laptop without the owner's consent be removed. Just as releasing nudes from anyone without their consent would be treated.

Looks like the Biden Laptop scandal is just more vaporware.

We all know that that's just an excuse to hide all the evidence of complete mind meld collusion with Joe and his son.

Yea? And I am of the firm belief that its healthy to question *everything* ever so often. But hey, you do you.

Except you weren't questioning everything, you were being a tired boring dipshit devil's advocate for no reason other than you apparently decided to play contrarian for a day. Not sure if that's due to some fandom for Musk (I seem to recall you getting near Ponyo levels of defending him over some of his antics) or if you just decided to play at being a bothsides dickhead, but you should maybe actually question things if you're gonna claim you're questioning "everything" instead of just question one simple aspect whilst you admit you don't even know what the fuck you're talking about, while you simultaneously try to cast aspersion at others for, you know, actually questioning things enough to learn enough to know what they're talking about. But hey, you certainly did you.

Anyone else remember when Republicans were discussing scrapping the natural born citizen requirement so Arnold Schwarzenegger could run for President?

The Republican Party doesn't care about freedom, rights, responsibilities, or traditions.

It cares about power.

Wait, what? I thought republicans cared about law, and tradition. What was that about Obama not being born in the US or some crap?

I enjoy how Elmo's acquisition of twitter so closely resembles the right-wing agenda for America. All hail the job creators whose excessive leveraging means countless must be laid off to meet the debt servicing! Gaze in wonder as we expand free speech through malicious lies while silencing any attempt to speak truth or rationality! Love your freedom.. or else!

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Laws are just a means to an end for these people. The moment they no longer have a use to them, they will change them to their benefit.

Another Musk company under investigation, this time for animal abuse.

Neuralink faces federal probe over alleged animal abuse, “hack job” surgeries

Current and former employees blame mishaps and abuse on pressure from Musk to go faster.

"Current and former employees blame mishaps and abuse on pressure from Musk to go faster."

If he mistreats people, is it any surprise he also mistreats animals?

OR maybe your sort is the reason we cant have nice things.
Are you in a constant state of pain and this the time of day the drugs wear off? Cause I finding it hard to rationalize your behavior within standard psychological operational parameters. You fucked up man, but you already know that right? Please tell me you dont lorde over people in your daily, family, for the love of god no kids *please*.
For anyone *else* reading this bullshit, cause I sure as fuck dont care about you, this is what set me off rewinding and re-contemplating some of this shit. Not doing a crazy Ivan, not doing a spin, just re-evaluating some shit... (and some people here would like to create an environment where that is frowned upon. Well fuck him.)

The ignore button is there for a reason, push it.
Every now and then I clear my ignore list, and your new BFF here is always one of the first back on it.
Some folks feel empowered by the autonomy of forums, they get to be fearless and powerful without the risk of facing their adversary. Back in my day that was referred as being "chickenshit". A term that really does need to make a comeback.

AFAIK there are only 2 positions Republicans consistently espouse, tax cuts for the rich, conservative judges. Every other position they lie about meaning their opinion is completely fungible. Ex...

crime (only if perps are POC)
The Constitution (suspend it)
supporting the police (not capital police)
pro-life (until birth)
religious freedom (Christians only)
grooming (as long as they get to bang underage girls)
