Yeah, I think I will pass on his 12 minute sex tape on there too.

NY Post runs a story on finding Biden/Burisma emails on a laptop from the "Beau Biden Foundation."

Facebook won't allow links while they "fact check."

NY Post editor goes to post on Twitter about this story, and gets a message that his tweet will not be allowed. He screenshots it, and posts it on his twitter account asking why he can't post about his newspaper's story. Now his account is locked for "violating twitter rules."

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how Facebook and Twitter would've treated this if it were a story about Trump's kid being involved in shady dealings? Rhetorical question... I think we all know what the answer would be.

The NY Times knows how to handle this far better than the NY Post. The NY Times always publishes scandals sourced from "anonymous sources" rather than identified individuals possessing actual documentation.

Twitter has locked Kayleigh McEnany's Twitter account for sharing the story. (Can you say, "unreported donations in kind", kids?)

The Senate Republicans directed this to the CEO of Twitter:

The whole timeline of this laptop story is insane. Someone drops it off to be repaired. Computer guy fixes it, but can't get anyone to come in to pay him the $85 bucks to reclaim it. After a certain period of time it becomes his property, and it somehow ends up in the hands of the FBI in December 2019 - before impeachment. The FBI, apparently, sits on it, and the guy gives a copy of the data he retained to Rudy Giuliani's lawyer less than two weeks ago, and Rudy gives it to the post on Sunday.

I'm incredibly interested to find out just what the FBI did with the information and who was involved. The e-mails pretty much justify Trump calling the PM of the Ukraine to ask him to look into things.

Here's the money shot from the Post article:

Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.

The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.

“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.

An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.

The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.

...

Less than eight months after Pozharskyi thanked Hunter Biden for the introduction to his dad, the then-vice president admittedly pressured Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk into getting rid of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin by threatening to withhold a $1 billion US loan guarantee during a December 2015 trip to Kiev.

“I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,” Biden infamously bragged to the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018. “Well, son of a b!+ch. He got fired.”

Perhaps Chris Wray would like to come forward and explain to the American people what has been done with this in the past 10 months.

The CEO of Twitter's non-apology

I think Big Tech is scared of another Republican administration and potential Congress. Their ability to dance between publisher and platform could come to an abrupt end.

Looks like Project Veritas has something to say about Big Tech too

The content wasn't hacked though. A laptop was left in for repairs. It was never collected, and the work not paid for. After the contracted period the laptop was deemed to be abandoned property, and ownership passed to the store.

Twitter cannot apply its own policy correctly.

Election interference. Big Tech is in the bag for Biden and they are pulling out all the stops to silence anyone who opposes him.

For the people that don’t like it, they can start their own tech firm. It’s not election interference.

AT&T, prior to the breakup, should have dropped calls between democrat candidates, because that’s not election interference. People can just start up their own telephone service if they don’t like it.

Good analogy. Puts things in perspective.

It’s not by any means a perfect analogy, which I’m sure detractors will point out. But it’s good enough to contain the necessary components to make the point.

We put reasonable restrictions on companies to prevent them from harming society. It’s fair to criticize overbearing restrictions. I formerly criticized nearly all restrictions. I no longer define “free market” as one that should have no restrictions. The invisible hand is a myth. If we say that the most powerful companies may bring to bear all their resources to manipulate the vote, then that promotes the oligarchy. Companies should not be allowed to subvert elections, which is what social media is doing now.

Election interference.

Yup. Compare years of Russia and Ukraine stories about Trump, all that proved to be false, some were obviously false on their face. Those were not censored by Big Tech.

Actually, let me revise that: it is worse than election interference. These emails show that Joe Biden himself may be compromised because of Hunter's actions, which could in itself compromise our national security and national interests. Yet again, every thing that the Democrats have accused Trump of, they are guilty of, and more.
