D*** picks. The tweets were nude images of the president's son.

We had a looong debate about this last year. Twitter obviously bans/shadowbans/deletes stuff. But there's ZERO evidence that twitter ever did it systematically to promote a particular political ideology. Far-left extremists get banned too for violating the policy that all twitter users agree to when they sign up to use their service.

It's a private company Joe.
I'll just use you as my source on this, instead of the factual news. Could you also be our source on the innocence of the contents of the lap top?

Wildgrass=Sonhouse. Just different colloquialisms.

The "news" is all being reported through twitter. Everything else is second hand, including me. So you could look there for facts.

Post 22:

"there’s no evidence - that I've seen - of any government involvement in the laptop story."

Admission from Matt that the story is really a nothingburger.

Exactly right. Straight from the source. You won't see that in the lamestream media.

Then you don't know about Comer, Bobulinski, Miranda Devine, et al???? Google them to be prepared when the findings are published. They are on this case 24/7. Professionals. Not Twitter contributors, which are zeros.
There is no 'news' on Twitter. You can't kid a kidder about Twidder.

It is not a nothing burger. The fact that all the contents have not yet been published do not make it a nothing burger. All of you keep saying stuff about proof and evidence, and, unbelievably are already passing judgments, but we have not SEEN evidence yet, if there is any.

This is only Episode 1, Episode 2 is still in production, coming soon!!!

You keep ignorantly saying that, but the entire contents of Hunter's laptop were in Rudy Giuliani's and then the New York Post's hands more than two years ago.

You confuse the two. News stories are #1 about a certain lap-top, and the investigation thereof, and #2 about Musk ' Forcing a free speech reckoning".
You may be thinking about Musk's disclosures being about some bad actors trying to stifle the red-hot news about the lap top of the President's son before the elections, but that is a different issue than the issue of the lap-top itself.

This is a GREAT example of people not recognizing issues. I am told that recognizing issues is one of the first tenets of a law school education.

Twitter files are looking into possible suppression of the story regarding hunters laptop. While taibbi has been very critical of the practices at twitter, he doesn't find specific evidence the story was suppressed. The tweets taken down appear to be highly personal in nature, nudity etc. In fact it looks like twitter content moderators were twisting themselves into knots trying to keep conservative voices on twitter despite pretty disgusting posts that violated twitter policies.

Marauder is correct, but in lib form, does not close his post. Those people, and maybe the hot dog guy on 5th Avenue, possibly have the entire contents, as well as others.
I will say one more time!!!! (as Marauder so eloquently puts it....)......it has not been published for the populace yet.
Y'all, there may be 50 different investigations of this thing, what a field day for us conservatives!!!! I too wish they would turn it loose, I do not want to start sounding like Sonhouse.

Thank you, you confirm that this is an ongoing process. Marauder has pretty much wrapped up his investigation, but you clarify that it takes a long time, due to the salacious and unbelievable stuff that they have to pore through to make it OK for our consumption.

Read the twitter thread Joe. These reporters reviewing the info first hand are saying there's nothing there. Of course it could be there somewhere. I don't know. But you are assuming "salacious and unbelievable" stuff is there. Somewhere. Even though it isn't.

Here's what the logic does Joe. It's been two years of investigators poring over the laptop.

If theres nothing but porno on the laptop, then you all come out and say the cops (back the blue) are suppressing the real evidence.

If there is info, then it's back to this forum to say I told you so.

Either way, hunters laptop is salacious and unbelievable. Even if it's just d*** pics.

We all know about his nude and crack pics. Got that. Prob not illegal. But the focus is not on that,, it is hardly even on his gun felony.
It is on the 'what and where and who' of the millions of dollars. Where you and I differ is that you seem to have your head in the sand about the millions and millions and the big guy. We know about that, and it has not even been published yet!
I wish they wouldn't take so long!!! You really should google this stuff, get a bit of a background for future debate.
