if you dig deep enough, you will find out the truth that was suppressed about tara reade
WOW! Straw man much? That a way to build a case against someone that you aren't have a conversation with. Everyone that doesn't agree with you 100% is some conspiracy theory nut job, but I guess that's what you should expect when you may disagree with someone in this day and time. Anyone you don't agree with is obviously a crazy person.

Also there was no evidence of anything Tara Reade saying being fact. Throwing allegations against the wall doesn't make them true.

Calling someone a tin-foil hat wearer is so passe'. I miss those days, though. A couple years ago, it became fascist and now I believe "Russian Bot" is all the rage. These fads are changing too often for me to keep up.

I’ll take Reuters over imaginary made up Facebook images all day.

Careful mate, that sounds like a solid conspiracy theory. :ROFLMAO:

Of course it isn't real. We were posting fake images, were we not?

Ok got me. The foil hat was a obviously photoshopped prototype.

Yours on the other hand was a deliberate attempt to misrepresent something as a real article from a news source. Are the they same? I say no.

Sure they are; it was debunked some time ago. The topic was conspiracy and this is the only thing I had in the pic folder related to the topic. I’d offer to start making my own, but I don’t have time for that crap.

just think of how different the totally stolen election would have turned out if people had known the truth about hunter biden
I never really imagined all the MAGA fervor over pics of Hunter Bidens junk. This entire time they were going on about the laptop they secretly wanted more lapbottom.

I'm starting to think that the only reason he bought Twitter was to run it into the ground and eventually shut it down.
It is pretty apparent at this point. Real question is why.

I personally wonder if they fact that the Saudis are part owners has anything to do with it . I’m sure an Absolute Monarchy run by religious nut jobs have an interest in controlling information flow as they see the role of social media during social unrest in their neighborhood.

I smell hypocrisy.



Twitter has suspended an account that used publicly available flight data to track Elon Musk's private jet, despite a pledge by the social media platform's new owner to keep it up because of his free speech principles.

Tweets from the widely-followed @elonjet account were no longer viewable Wednesday. The account had more than 526,000 followers as of Tuesday.

"Account suspended," says a note that appears when clicking on the account's handle. "Twitter suspends accounts that violate the Twitter Rules."

Started in 2020 by then-teenage programmer Jack Sweeney, the account automatically posts the Gulfstream jet's flights with a map and an estimate of the amount of jet fuel and carbon emissions it expended.

My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk," Musk tweeted on Nov. 6.
Sweeney runs similar "bot" accounts tracking other celebrities' airplanes. His accounts tracking private jets used by Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and various Russian oligarchs were still on Twitter on Wednesday, as were his accounts tracking Musk's jet on rival social platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

Sweeney didn't immediately return a request for comment Wednesday but on his personal Twitter account posted a screenshot showing a notice from Twitter that said @elonjet was permanently suspended. The note didn't specify a reason for the permanent ban. Twitter didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sweeney had days earlier accused Musk's Twitter of using a filtering technique to hide his tweets, and revealed what he said were leaked internal communications showing a Twitter executive ordering her team to suppress the account's reach. The Associated Press has not been able to independently verify those documents.

Musk has previously criticized that filtering technique — nicknamed "shadowbanning" — and alleged that it was unfairly used by Twitter's past leadership to suppress right-wing accounts. He has said the new Twitter will continue to downgrade the reach of negative or hateful messages but will be more transparent about it.
