I know you're not that obtuse about who owns the casinos on the strip.

 

and I also know you voted for the guy who said the free press is the enemy of the people


Yet it's Sleepy who is readying to limit topics of conversation.  Just like Russia, Sleepy wants to outlaw certain speech, and Libs love it.

I'd ask for a source but we know how that ends, don't we?

 

so let's meet halfway and say bullshitj

In the absence of Stalker (who is losing his ass in Vegas), Boiler has assumed the role of our resident Conservative Crazy.

The business model has been approved by lenders.  Musk wants to confirm if Twitter has been lying about what percentage of posts are from bots.


Musk could have made his offer contingent on verifying the percentage of bots. You know, like the kind of simple contingencies that people put into offers of home purchases and all kinds of other contracts.

 

He didn't, and now he wants to change the rules after the fact. Failing to condemn that kind of business behavior is about the most Boilermn thing I can think of.


Twitter is a festering sore on the butt of America. Its legs-wide-open willingness to act as a pulpit for the Orange Pusbag and the rest of his gang of loony birds was a major factor in the creation of the Trump Horror Years. Their eventual banning of the Pusbag did nothing to absolve them.

 

So if Musk wants to buy Twitter? Fine. Let him. Let him be a MAGA enabler. They'll bring back the Orange Pusbag's account in plenty of time for the fall elections anyway.

Do the Libs not even know about Biden's disinformation bureau.  I suspect that you do, since you guys love speech, as long as libs get to decide what speech can freely be spoken.  Kevin will argue that Libs aren't attempting to limit free speech, only limiting what speech can be heard.  All sensible people understand that being heard is what free speech is all about.  Kevin, not so much.

From the Fox "News" NY Post! Which contains about a dozen quotes from right-wing Republicans discussing the matter, but zero from alternate points of view.

 

So Boilerman here's a real, real, real easy question for you to answer. Is that responsible journalism?

 

I eagerly await your response.

Disinformation causes active, extensive harm. Only a complete dumb fuck who has spent the last ten years with his head buried in the sand would think otherwise.

 

As just one example: disinformation about first masks, then vaccines caused an estimated additional three hundred thousand covid deaths (that's the relative excess compared to what the number would have been had we had the same death rate as Europe).

 

Disinformation such as that is NOT protected free speech, any more than shouting "FIRE!" in a crowded theater.

 

God, Boiler is STOOPID.
