Then again, apparently all you have are the childish angry taunts from the gutter, each of which has failed miserably in having your desired effects, so how's that working out for you so far? cool

 And the only obvious fact is that you're pissed off and frustrated that you aren't able to get a rise out of me.  

My suggestion to you is that you adopt a new schtick.  This one whereby you jump into threads and do a drive by snide remark at me has only resulted in you crashing the car.  

I hate to be the one to tell you but the party is over and you wearing a lamp shade in the middle of the room with nobody there to pat you on the back, or even take a 2nd glance your way, just has to be a giant ego deflator for you .  wink
I would hope my digs at you are more transparent.

In any case, are you actually denying that you thrive in an environment of interpersonal sniping?  That would be really hard to believe.  I've been perfectly honest.  I like bouncing ideas off of the regulars here, and I consider them to be my friends.  I also sometimes enjoy trading spitballs with you, (but not always).  If I can't get you to honestly admit that you thrive in an environment of interpersonal sniping, I don't know what to say.  Go ahead.  Make my day.  Admit that you agree with me and that you thrive in an environment of interpersonal sniping.

Whoosh - that is the sound of my joke going over your head.  Hopefully Greg got it.  I'm sure others did.  J

Classic dodge.  It is pointless to proceed.  Everyone, you included, know that you thrive in an environment of interpersonal sniping.  It is the oxygen you breath.  The fact that you won't admit it is interesting, and kinda weird.

New DOJ filing in response to Donny's request for a special master

PS: Can't wait for the indictment!
I wonder if the DOJ has the case and has the backbone to pull the trigger if they do have the case.  We will see!

Looks like the Biden team in the runup to and immediately before the 2020 Presidential election were colluding w/Twitter

Gee, how convenient for the left.   Sorry we made a mistake in interfering with the 2020 election...   Yep, got it. 

3)  Still, the mistake amounts to little more than a process error.

OOH, isn't that convenient for you, just a process error.  Yeah sure it was.  The Biden team gives orders to Twitter to block content and the Twitter group obliges and sends memos out saying "Handled".  Not only that but the FBI and DOJ contact FB as well to make sure that the Hunter Biden Laptop story gets removed so that nobody can see it, but hey NO collusion here to interfere in an election.  Trust us, we're telling you it was Russian Disinformation.

Fact:  Polls were taken of Biden voters and 15% said that had they known about the Hunter Laptop story, they would not have voted for Joe Biden, but your explanation   excuse has firm legs.... 

4)  Lastly, even Taibbi wrote that he had seen no evidence of government involvement in Twitter's moves.


Really?  Taibbi stated that the gov't wasn't involved in the Laptop story, but that is vague and can be taken a number of different ways.  He even states in his #22, saying "In fact, that might have been the problem...", implying that the gov't didn't bother to investigate the laptop. 

Now he makes that claim, however there was PLENTY of gov't involvement.  We know that there was involvement since the FBI according to Mark Zuckberberg, contacted FB directly and told them that they had a suspicion that the Laptop was fraudulent and created through Russian Interference.

They had no evidence to make that claim but they decided to make sure FB was aware that the US Gov't FBI was watching them and what they allowed to be said on FB.  

5)   this whole story is just another nothing-burger.

Not at all, this is just the very initial Twitter Files that Musk will be releasing. It is already damning and my guess is that it will get much worse in showing just how corrupt the FBI and DOJ were and are in influencing the outcome of an election.

Your regular excuses for the corruption are the nothing burger.   
I scanned this thread for the first time this morning.  I disagree with James, in that I think this story is not a "nothing burger."  On the contrary, it is a very instructive example of the clear left bias shown in content moderation on Twitter and FB.  This matters because far too many people get their news from Twitter and FB, including apparently many mainstream journalists, which then corrupts and reinforces their worldview and biases their own reporting.  This exacerbates the polarization that is plaguing the country.  I also think it is pretty clear that the government does it's best to manipulate the press and social media.  This should not be surprising to anyone.  On the other hand, I doubt that any persuadable voters were unaware of Hunter's laptop in 2020.  Other outlets covered it extensively.

As Matt Taibbi himself said about 4 days ago, the main victim of this rampant bias is the press itself; https://taibbi.substack.com/p/be-it-resolved-dont-trust-mainstream   I agree with his comments in the linked comments from the Munk Debates.  No one should trust the press, any of it, in 2022.

I chose to reply to the post quoted above, since it is pretty clear that James was able to rile Rich to the shouting stage quite easily, as we all knew he could.   Everyone can see that Rich was spun up here, even though he will deny and deny until the end of time.  It was/is fun to watch.  Jim

https://www.lifenews.com/2020/11/24/17-of-biden-voters-would-not-have-voted-for-him-had-they-known-scandals-liberal-media-censored/

This lack of information proved crucial: One of every six Biden voters we surveyed (17%) said they would have abandoned the Democratic candidate had they known the facts about one or more of these news stories. A shift of this magnitude would have changed the outcome in all six of the swing states won by Joe Biden, and Donald Trump would have comfortably won a second term as president.

BTW, I include You in the 17% above, as one of the most unaware voters out there.

One day, You might want to become aware of the politics going on around you.  Just a suggestion though.  wink
