Silly bird, both are terrible, that’s why if you are a former GOP voter who is about to vote straight ticket Dem, you should just despair and stay home.  
 

Or vote Trump, cause he’s open about his criminal behavior.  Not a politician!

By informal setting they mean they can’t rule out an incidental grip and grin at a widely attended event.  They don’t mean personal private meeting.  Every person who shook Biden’s hand and had a picture taken in 2012 had incidental contact with him. My wife’s parents had incidental contact with Barack Obama.

Don't know him.  Never met him.

Hunter Biden should open up Biden University and teach people how to do real estate but instead steal their money.

looks like they’re doing a slow rollout of the laptop stuff. I’m guessing Biden and DNC know there’s some more incriminating things to come and want to attempt to discredit them preemptively.  More censoring of this stuff today. 
 

 

So they checked with some people referenced in the main email about the Ukrainian dude getting to meet Biden. They all said they never heard of him. He wasn’t on the meeting schedule. Then Biden campaign says he may have met him in an informal setting. Got it. 

Negged for not even trying to hide your role as an amateur operative trying to push a hack story from a hack newspaper promoted by Trump's hack-in-chief who is himself known to have interjected himself into the Ukraine scandal proven by the impeachment prosecutors.

You fervently back a man who calls the reputable press enemies of the state then you uphold the New York Post as a bastion of truth cruelly oppressed by the ebil lamestream media.

What caught my eye immediately was the tremendous clarity of the text, when compared to the “VP” gmail icon in the upper right-hand corner. Something appeared to be off, and upon further examination, it was. Look what happens when you zoom into the PDF file (see image below). The text in the file remains crystal clear, yet the gmail icon for “VP” gets extremely pixelated. Even in the un-zoomed version, the icon is blatantly pixelated.

1*1Qh34WXG2pe9TsEYNhd-TQ.png

 

This is the hallmark of email alterations. There is no reason that the gmail icon should be of a different resolution than the text on the same document, unless of course the icon or the text were photoshopped in.

But to make matters even more interesting; if you view the “VP” icon, you will also notice that the right side of it is flat, and there is a very light gray color around it which does not match the background of the document. The gray background aligns perfectly with where the would-be circle is abruptly squared off. This confirms that someone used an editing tool to cut this icon out and then paste it onto a new document.

Pixelization could be due to any number of reasons (innocent or otherwise). Grab the email headers and DKIM them for cryptographic proof of whether they are authentic emails.

Either the FBI has the emails (and headers) and can validate them, or they don't have them and are choosing not to refute the statement by repair shop guy that they do.

Sure, grab the headers from [checks notes] a pdf print out of an alleged email. Makes sense. Also, expect the justice department ran by [checks notes] Bill Bar to refute a story that the Trump wants to push. This is all very reasonable.

The FBI either has the laptop with original emails and headers (not just pdfs) or it doesn't. Those emails can be validated.

Or, here is an idea, if original emails exist on the laptop, why not release those instead of the weird pdf ones? It is all bullshit and anyone selling it or justifying it is selling bullshit. Dude was lying his ass off in the interview, and nothing about the story makes any sense. At any rate, I'm sure Bill Bar is just rushing to refute the President's personal lawyer. Here is my prediction: it'll get slow played and then dropped like everything else (unmasking! greatest scandal ever!).

If these things really bother you, no need to wait.  Trump has already been found guilty and admitted to in court of worse.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/nyregion/ny-ag-underwood-trump-foundation.html

 

The foundation was accused by the attorney general, Barbara Underwood, of “functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests,” and of engaging in “a shocking pattern of illegality” that included unlawfully coordinating with Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
 

Trump and his shitbag kids are so corrupt they can’t run a charity any longer.   The whole trump family is corrupt to the core.  And it’s actually been proven.

Partly correct, partly wrong. The problem, dear reader, is that the government wanted publishers to moderate, specifically, to moderate out illegal content (e.g., child porn). However, under First Amendment jurisprudence, any moderation, even of illegal content, would result in potential liability for the content that was posted. And platforms wanted to moderate too because allowing anything and everything was bad for business. Take the old site as an example. There is apparently not a very large market for a Longhorn sport's forum that is filled with scat porn. In order to actually have a platform of any business value, moderation is required. Section 230 allows that moderation to take place without thrusting civil liability upon the platform. 

So, the law, as it current exists, allows platforms to host pretty much any content without fear of civil liability. And, it allows them to moderate that content so as to allow business to flourish.

So, here is the puzzle for you: if you take away the protections from liability, is a platform going to be more or less likely to host questionable content?

The answer: given that the platforms must do moderation for business reasons, what will happen is that platforms will actually moderate even more so as to avoid hosting potentially libelous content. That means that all the right wing bullshit that you want them host will go away completely, precisely because it is bullshit and would subject the platforms to potential liability.

Again, you have no idea what you're talking about.  

I get it, they should keep drowning down legal speech for thier quarterly gains. Seems like a terrible practice as other sites like Bitchute and Parler have grown, and they keep having legal battles to keep suppressing legal free speech (not kiddie porn) to make sure that advertisers can make a buck.

You're right though, I just don't know what I'm talking about. @StassneyHorn got me pinned that I'm a big dumb poor person, but Justice Thomas seems to be a person that has some power that agrees with me.

There is zero credible evidence that the FBI has this laptop or the "emails."

So far, this is 100% cooked up bullshit from private parties and the NY Post and other "media" outlets.

Clarence Thomas is a nincompoop when it comes to the First Amendment.  A complete braying jackass.

He wants to sue anyone and everyone who has said something bad about him, including the US Senate circa 1991 and Anita Hill, and wants to undo any restrictions on defamation law that get in his way.

I kind of joke about repealing Section 230 because it would kill social media dead, including this site.

So much this.   Such a phony.  

Clarence Thomas is by far the greatest potted plant to ever set foot in the Supreme Court. He just sits there and used to just concur with everything Scalia said. Now that Scalia is dead he just sits there and concurs with everything Alito says. Apparently he likes Italian men.

Again, what do you think happens if the liability protections of Section 230 go away? Do you think that means less moderation of content or more moderation of content? 

The whole fucking point of section 230 is let platforms host whatever content their users desire without liability for the libelous things their users may say. If that goes away, platforms WILL heavily moderate content in order to avoid libel claims or they will simply shut down. That's it. It wouldn't create a free space for your right wing peeps, it would eliminate it all together. 

And, let me be clear. None of these private entities are suppressing free speech in the constitutional sense. That restriction applies to the government. If you want to start WorkswithSeed's blog and spout off all sorts of crazy stories about Biden and Obama and whatever evil leftist you think exists, you are free to do it that right now. The government isn't going to stop you. But, you may be liable for libel if your stories are untrue.

I mean, I guess you could say that Parler has grown, in the technical sense. 

It has an average of 100,000 weekly downloads, down drastically from June when it had its brief moment in the spotlight.

At that rate, to catch up with Twitter it will only take Parler 57 years to match Twitters user count, if no one new signs up for Twitter. 

Growing, indeed!

“My taxes are too high!” yet you aren’t rich and income tax differences are probably negligible for you. “Antifa is in my parking lot burning trash dumpsters and looting!” = some random fuck making a literal dumpster fire in the vicinity of whatever 5-10 story apartment complex you live in near downtown. “They’re censoring everyone with a dissenting view” yet everyone knows exactly what the dissent is online.
