I like the nickname that @emptywheel uses for Matt Taibbi because of his fascination with the #HunterBiden pictures and such, #MattyDickPics

This is an effort to make it easier to steal elections. It is 100% about fascism. Congratuations to #MattyDickPics to be Jim Jordan's useful idiot.

Republicans are sharpening their attacks on CISA for its role in tracking & responding to mis/disinformation. The Judiciary Committee's GOP staff just released this report characterizing CISA's work as unconstitutional censorship. "CISA must be reined in." https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/cisa-staff-report6-26-23.pdf

I guess the Bromance between #MattyDickPics and #ElonMusk is done. 🤔🤦‍♂️🤣

And here is @mmasnick with another devastating takedown of the lying, grifting Substack bro Taibbi aka #MattyDickPics

*"There remains no there there. It’s less than a Potemkin village. There isn’t even a façade. This is the Emperor’s New Clothes for a modern era. Taibbi is pointing to a naked emperor and insisting that he’s clothed in all sorts of royal finery, whereas anyone who actually looks at the emperor sees he’s naked."*

Detailed taken of Taibbi aka MattyDickPics by @emptywheel

"As to the factual dispute, there is none. #MattyDickPics and his Elmo-whisperer Mike Benz are wrong. The error stems from either an inability to read an academic methodology statement or the ethic among these screencap boys that says you can make any claim you want so long as you have a screencap with a key word in it."

This is what Elon and his paid "journalists" including Taibbi, Weiss and Shellenberger are doing, trying to discredit how central the orange 🤡is to election disinformation in the US all while racking up those Substack subs and 💵s

RT @emptywheel
@mehdirhasan #MattyDickPics calls it "a misplaced acronym" and his boosters are calling it's a spelling mistake. It's not! It's altering the primary source you use as your only claim to credibility.

And, he admitted, he did so to adapt reality to his (false) beliefs.

RT @emptywheel
Hey, @mehdirhasan, I guess there's a reason #MattyDickPics didn't want to take down his CIS/CISA lie. Because he repeated it under oath.

OMIGOSH!!!

Poor #MattyDickPics believes Elmo was operating in good faith!!!

How much of a chump do you have to be to believe this was about transparency? https://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/status/1644286641698140160

Area Substacker gives his seal of approval for #MattyDickPics' dick pics and other lies.

Unsurprisingly, he agrees with Matty that being the instrument of RUSSIAN intelligence is all a part of journalism.

BREAKING: @Jim_Jordan is so dumb he didn't notice that #mattydickpics was proven a fraud in @JamesComer's hearing.

RT @emptywheel
#MattyDickPics confesses he's getting a partisan selection of files.

So embarrassing to be so easily manipulated by Elmo like this.

But ELoon and company are all up in arms that the previous owners blocked tweets of #MattyDickPics https://theintercept.com/2023/01/24/twitter-elon-musk-modi-india-bbc/

RT @emptywheel@twitter.com

#MattyDickPics is, as per usual, doubling down on things he knows nothing about.

Tl;dr: he's helping Yevgeniy Prigozhin, who CURRENTLY is butchering Ukrainians, dissociate his corporate person from his biological one.

Just more ass-kissing to oligarchs. https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1614056512292265985

@jeffjarvis @mmasnick
An argument for decent people to abandon Twitter to the trolls for me is that the people that are on there are leaving @RepTedLieu hanging out to dry as MuskBros attack him for countering #TwitterFiles mis/disinformation. Pretty much every post of his is getting ratioed because they're not hardly being shared and of course ELoon's troll army is attacking him.

Poor #MattyDickPics doesn't seem to like for people to point out that he sees no problem making his argument that the Internet Research Agency's integrity is higher than our FBI's.

@SouthernLibtard
I thought about using @emptywheel hashtag of #MattyDickPics, but hadn't seen that it would be a clear reference on Mastodon.
