Members of the government and DNC directed Twitter to delete Tweets. That’s a first Amendment violation.I don't have Twitter. Not asking for a play-by-play, but is there anything to this, or just another Kraken release?
Will the preferred method of correction (after the trial) be ballistic copper/lead injection or rope? I volunteer a supply for either.Members of the government and DNC directed Twitter to delete Tweets. That’s a first Amendment violation.
I don't think the line back to .gov is quite that clear. I hope there is more to come on this.Members of the government and DNC directed Twitter to delete Tweets. That’s a first Amendment violation.
Journo, used to be with rolling stone I think. I thought he was a lefty because of where he worked, but he turned out to be like Berenson in that he wanted to write about what was really happening and not just serve the agenda. That's why he writes on substack now. He seems to be an old school investigative journalistWho is Matt Taibbi?
Thanks, JT!Members of the government and DNC directed Twitter to delete Tweets. That’s a first Amendment violation.
I don't understand why anyone that cares about politics and the latest happenings and chatter would not have a Twitter account. You don't have to use your real name or give any personal information. Signing up allows you to follow whoever you choose in one of the largest, most widely used real-time general communication platforms in the world.I have never had a Twitter account and don’t use it but watching this unfold is fascinating.
I’m tempted to sign up so I can watch it in real time.
I was told here on INGO that twitter was not news….I don't understand why anyone that cares about politics and the latest happenings and chatter would not have a Twitter account.

Think of it as radar, if it helps. I've seen things on Twitter a day or two before they hit the news.
It's not news, it's chatter. Sometime chatter becomes the news, but there's a whole lot of chaff to sort through. I also saw on Twitter that several NATO generals were surrounded at Mariupol and the Kraken was going to save Trump. Both posted here on INGO, I think. And both under the guise of "lOoK aT tHiS nEwS!!" Nah. It's not a verifiable news source. Like I said, it's radar.I was told here on INGO that twitter was not news….

The only time that Twitter is news is when Twitter is IN the news, like right now.
If you ache so much to be right on the internet amongst strangers, I'll let you call it news.So if Rafael Sanchez says something on WRTV that is news, but if he puts it on twitter it is not? There was lots of Russian collusion on TV news and all kinds of opinions are reported there but it is still news but twitter is not?
Got it…
I simply have never had any use for Twitter. I don’t care to be part of the Twitter community. When Twitter first started up, a young colleague of mine was promoting and espousing the virtues of Twitter and I asked him why? What’s the point? He said because it’s cool that He can let people know where He was and what he was doing and thinking in real time. And my reply was why would I want to do that? My private life is just that, private!I don't understand why anyone that cares about politics and the latest happenings and chatter would not have a Twitter account.

We just see it differently. I'm not a part of the "Twitter community," whatever that is...any more than I'm part of the WJJK community by listening to 104.5 on the way into work in the morning. I never tweet, I just follow things that I'm interested in. Having an account makes it easy to customize content and receive notifications of things of interest, if I choose to do so.I simply have never had any use for Twitter.

Twitter is as pointless to me now as it was then, and besides I have enough logins to keep track of as it is. Twitter just doesn’t have much value to me. I don’t need an account to see what’s happening there and I have nothing to contribute there.
Yep, I'm fine experiencing Twitter vicariously through others. Like you, never saw a point in it myself and still don't.Ingo is my form of entertainment and there’s no shortage of others posting interesting Twitter content I can click on and view.
