- ABOUT THAT TWTER “BOMBSHELL”MY LLEAGUE, CATHY YOUNG, SENDS ALONG SOME MORE THOUGHTS ON THE “TWTER FIL” BROUHAHA:1. THE CLAIM THAT TWTER’S CISN TO BLOCK THE LK TO THE NEW YORK POST HUNTER BIN LAPTOP STORY OCTOBER 2020 AMOUNTS TO ELECTN-RIGGG—WHICH UNRLI DONALD TMP’S “SCREW THE CONSTUTN, THROW OUT THE ELECTN” TANTM—IS ABSURD NSIRG THAT THE BLOCK PROBABLY GAVE THE STORY A STREISAND EFFECT BOOST RATHER THAN SUPPRS . BUZZ ABOUT THE BAN WAS ALL OVER TWTER, AND THE STORY ULD BE EASILY ACCSED VIA GOOGLE. ALSO, THE LK BLOCK WAS LIFTED ABOUT A DAY, AND THEN-CEO JACK DORSEY APOLOGIZED TWO DAYS LATER. 2. SOME ARGUE THAT THE “FIL” SHOW HOW THE LAPTOP STORY LK BAN WAS DIRECTLY ORDATED BETWEEN TWTER STAFF AND THE BIN MPAIGN. NOPE. THE “ORDATN” WAS ABOUT REMOVG TWEETS—ON THAT APPARENTLY FEATURED EHER IMAG OF OR LKS TO HUNTER BIN REVENGE PORN STOLEN OM THE LAPTOP. AS FOR THE LK BAN CISN, THE WASHGTON POST NOT THAT THE TERNAL MUNITNS DISCLOSED BY MATT TAIBBI “SHOWED THE PANY PENNTLY CID TO LIM THE SPREAD OF THE ARTICLE, WHOUT DEMOCRATIC POLICIANS, THE BIN MPAIGN OR FBI EXERTG NTROL.” THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC POLICIAN WHO DID WEIGH , REP. RO KHANNA (D-CA), THOUGHT TWTER SHOULD DISTRIBUTE THE STORY.3. WHAT REALLY MIMIZED THE IMPACT OF THE LAPTOP STORY WAS NOT TWTER’S ACTNS, BUT THE MASTREAM MEDIA’S REFAL TO TREAT AS A BIG “OCTOBER SURPRISE.” WHICH WAS ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE, GIVEN THE LAPTOP’S EXTREMELY MURKY PROVENANCE AND THEN-UNVERIFIED NTENT, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT…4. THE LAPTOP “SNDAL” WAS PART OF A KNOWN FALSE NARRATIVE ON THE RIGHT, CLAIMG THAT HUNTER BIN’S BS ALGS UKRAE WERE IMPORTANT BEE JOE BIN SUPPOSEDLY HAD UKRAE’S CHIEF PROSECUTOR FIRED—G U.S. AID AS LEVERAGE—TO PROTECT HUNTER AND BURISMA, THE PANY ON WHOSE BOARD HUNTER SERVED, OM VTIGATN. A CENTRAL GOAL OF THIS NARRATIVE WAS TO NTRALIZE THE TMP/UKRAE SNDAL—REMEMBER, THE ONE WHERE THE PRINT OF THE UNED STAT TRIED TO E U.S. ARY AID TO BULLY UKRAIAN LEARSHIP TO SUPPLYG DIRT ON HIS POLIL OPPONENT. BUT AGA: THE NARRATIVE IS FALSE. Y, BIN DID OPENLY TALK 2018 ABOUT THREATENG TO WHHOLD AN AID PACKAGE UNLS THE PROSECUTOR, VIKTOR SHOK, WAS FIRED. BUT THAT’S BEE SHOK WAS NOT VTIGATG RPTN.

” From Wikipedia: “Rsian gay propaganda law. ”The Rsian feral law "for the Purpose of Protectg Children om Informatn Advotg for a Denial of Tradnal Fay Valu, " also referred to English-language media as the gay propaganda law[1] and the anti-gay law, [2][3][4][5] is a bill that was unanimoly approved by the State Duma on 11 June 2013 (wh jt one MP abstag—Ilya Ponomarev), [4] and was signed to law by Print Vladimir Put on 30 June 2013. [3]The Rsian ernment's stated purpose for the law is to protect children om beg exposed to homosexualy—ntent prentg homosexualy as beg a norm society—unr the argument that ntradicts tradnal fay valu.

Reagan’s own language: “Anarchy, ” he told the former ernor, who had ed that word to scribe mp unrt at Berkeley, would be unleashed classrooms statewi as stunts lodged spur charg of homosexualy agast their teachers. “I don’t approve of teachg a so-lled gay liftyle our schools, ” Mr.

Ron Johnson’s flip-flop on gay marriage was as elegant as was July, shortly after the Supreme Court overturned 50 years of settled law on abortn, Johnson, R-Wis., said he saw “no reason to oppose” feral legislatn that would dify the right to same-sex jt two months later he reversed urse, sayg that fact he had no tentn of supportg the Rpect for Marriage Act “ s current state.
ABOUT THAT TWTER “BOMBSHELL”MY LLEAGUE, CATHY YOUNG, SENDS ALONG SOME MORE THOUGHTS ON THE “TWTER FIL” BROUHAHA:1. THE CLAIM THAT TWTER’S CISN TO BLOCK THE LK TO THE NEW YORK POST HUNTER BIN LAPTOP STORY OCTOBER 2020 AMOUNTS TO ELECTN-RIGGG—WHICH UNRLI DONALD TMP’S “SCREW THE CONSTUTN, THROW OUT THE ELECTN” TANTM—IS ABSURD NSIRG THAT THE BLOCK PROBABLY GAVE THE STORY A STREISAND EFFECT BOOST RATHER THAN SUPPRS . BUZZ ABOUT THE BAN WAS ALL OVER TWTER, AND THE STORY ULD BE EASILY ACCSED VIA GOOGLE. ALSO, THE LK BLOCK WAS LIFTED ABOUT A DAY, AND THEN-CEO JACK DORSEY APOLOGIZED TWO DAYS LATER. 2. SOME ARGUE THAT THE “FIL” SHOW HOW THE LAPTOP STORY LK BAN WAS DIRECTLY ORDATED BETWEEN TWTER STAFF AND THE BIN MPAIGN. NOPE. THE “ORDATN” WAS ABOUT REMOVG TWEETS—ON THAT APPARENTLY FEATURED EHER IMAG OF OR LKS TO HUNTER BIN REVENGE PORN STOLEN OM THE LAPTOP.

RO KHANNA (D-CA), THOUGHT TWTER SHOULD DISTRIBUTE THE STORY.3. WHAT REALLY MIMIZED THE IMPACT OF THE LAPTOP STORY WAS NOT TWTER’S ACTNS, BUT THE MASTREAM MEDIA’S REFAL TO TREAT AS A BIG “OCTOBER SURPRISE.” WHICH WAS ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE, GIVEN THE LAPTOP’S EXTREMELY MURKY PROVENANCE AND THEN-UNVERIFIED NTENT, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT…4. THE LAPTOP “SNDAL” WAS PART OF A KNOWN FALSE NARRATIVE ON THE RIGHT, CLAIMG THAT HUNTER BIN’S BS ALGS UKRAE WERE IMPORTANT BEE JOE BIN SUPPOSEDLY HAD UKRAE’S CHIEF PROSECUTOR FIRED—G U.S. AID AS LEVERAGE—TO PROTECT HUNTER AND BURISMA, THE PANY ON WHOSE BOARD HUNTER SERVED, OM VTIGATN.

BUT AGA: THE NARRATIVE IS FALSE. Y, BIN DID OPENLY TALK 2018 ABOUT THREATENG TO WHHOLD AN AID PACKAGE UNLS THE PROSECUTOR, VIKTOR SHOK, WAS FIRED. BUT THAT’S BEE SHOK WAS NOT VTIGATG RPTN.
