The #FBI &#Ukraine #Nazis

Yesterday a House Committee ... released a series of documents showing without a doubt that the FBI has been forwarding thousands of content moderation “requests” to #Facebook, #Instagram, #Twitter, and #YouTube on behalf of the #SBU, Ukraine’s Security Agency.

... that the Bureau is outsourcing such work to ... Ukraine. (for example) “The SBU requested for your review and if appropriate deletion/suspension of these accounts.” -#MattTaibbi

It seems to me that #MattTaibbi got turned into a Russian agent during his time in Moscow.

OMG....Twitter is a MAGA mess of Trump supporting idiots....and wow wow wow, #ChrisCuomo and #MattTaibbi clip where they are bashing the indictment....really? Guess Chris has gone to the Russian side now, too. Some ratF*k is claiming DT is our new Mandela...Pu lease. I can't even.

#TrumpIndictment

To date, not a single document revealed has shown what people now falsely believe: that the US government and Twitter were working together to “censor” people based on their political viewpoints.
Why is that a viewpoint? #disinformation

The #DemocraticParty’s Crucifixion of #MattTaibbi

I'm thinking that Fox could replace #TuckerCarlson with "The Other Five" a show with #GlennGreenwald, #MattTaibbi, #TulsiGabbard , the QAnon Shaman and a rotating guest slot.

They could then claim it offers a liberal perspective.

Would it suck? Sure. But it would get a ton of hate watching.

Who do you guys think could replace #TuckerCarlson?

My leading theories:

#BillOreilly - He's done it before; while he lacks some of the same energy he's had before, his ol' ticker is still working

#MattTaibbi - A lot of #TuckerCarlson's fanbase likes him now

#TulsiGabbard - Over the past year she's solidified herself as a solid fill-in host

#GuyBenson - People seem to like him, I guess

I noticed that #MattTaibbi was defending cherry-picking and attacking people that call it out today on twitter. Not really too related to your post except that it reminded me that he's back on that foul site.

I noticed that #MattTaibbi has come back to Twitter pleading for more substack subscribers, but the point I want to make about the "excuse" that brought him back to post is to again assert that the #HunterBiden is not Russian disinfo.

We have utterly failed at keeping them from making that utterly unsupported assertion become the default public opinion imo.

Another happened to the code on that foul site today I just noticed when I was checking whether #MattTaibbi has responded to Representative Plaskett's letter yet.

I see the Russian stooges are still trying to stir up debate about #NordStream, but the thing is it's been years since I've been able to see a #Shillenberger tweet from this pc and ISP since he blocked me for correcting his "climate science".

Looks like he got tired of being made fun for putting his initials behind his handle too 🤣

The 2023 Walter Cronkite Award winner for TV political journalism winning @oneunderscore__ pointed out that ELoon's Twitter suspended you using the same TOS that they used to block the NY Post Hunter Biden story for a few hours. You know the greatest First Amendment violation in American history according to #MattTaibbi.

The next installment of the #TwitterFiles are going to have to address this. Right?

Oh delicious, the the 2023 Walter Cronkite Award for TV political journalism winning @oneunderscore__ has righteously pointed out that ELoon's Twitter suspended you using the same TOS that they used to block the NY Post Hunter Biden story for a few hours. You know the greatest First Amendment violation in American history according to #MattTaibbi.

The next installment of the #TwitterFiles are going to have to address this. Right?

@buitengebieden
Speaking of people getting fucked by ELoon and then going back onto his foul site because of their addiction, I just noticed that #MattTaibbi is tweeting again.

Too funny
