Russ is exactly right! All this.

But no one should be surprised... they've always attacked the family members of Democrats in the White House.

Yep.

Some Republicans went as far as saying Michelle Obama looked like a gorilla.

They called her "Mooch" for living in the White House on taxpayers' money and all manner of other names including racist garbage that I certainly won't repeat here.

But to go after someone with a history of substance abuse and depression is right up there with Trump mocking someone's physical disability. It's disgusting...even if it isn't surprising.

I know, right!?

According to Stormy Daniels' description, Donald himself seems to have a physical disability:

... smaller than average... dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart.

According to Elon Musk, it'll be a violation of the First Amendment if Twitter suppresses the posting of Trump's dick picks. I cannot imagine how those won't now surface under the circumstances such as they are.

Poor Donald.

I thought Republicans were all in FAVOR of Corporations doing whatever they want????

They're complaining that "the government" requested that the information be suppressed because they're too damn dumb to deduce that although Biden is now and will henceforth forever be referred to as "President Biden," there is no way on Earth 1 (not to be confused with Earth 2 on which they're living) that this presidential nomenclature applies to Joe Biden in reverse, or more specifically, at any other time before noon Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, January 20, 2021, the date and time he actually became the President of the United States a.k.a. "the government."

Like Twitter suppressing stories about Hunter Biden...

Exactly.

OR, The National Enquirer suppressing stories about Trump and Stormy Daniels....

Yep. Pecker. The jokes write themselves, do they not?

I remember watching "Deadline: White House" on MSNBC and seeing a chyron below Nicole Wallace: TRUMP WORRIED ABOUT PECKER LEAKING.

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander... no????

Yes!

Reminds me of all the right wingers crying about how not showing what's on Hunter Biden's laptop violates Freedom of Speech, and is some big Democrat conspiracy!!

Exactly! It's utter asinine bullshit, but the right-wingnuts regurgitate back whatever easily verifiable total fiction they are spoon-fed like effing toddlers. Their inability to connect the dots is astonishing in its total dearth. These right-wing blathering dipshits are hooked on Fox propaganda media like it's heroin and/or fentanyl, who are suppressing whatever political content they wish (including, not coincidentally, the same Hunter Biden's laptop content), while they whine and moan like clueless morons about "free speech" and Twitter! Why are none of these idiots complaining about Fox News's noncoverage of the same content?

Obviously, John (not to be confused with John) already knows this, while I'm just using his totally on-point post to piggyback my own thoughts, but it isn't a violation of your damn free speech for a private company not to allow your preferred political content on their platform, website, newsprint, broadcast, etc. It just isn't! It is pathetic to watch a grown man whine about "fraud" because a privately owned company didn't cover the news to suit his political views. What an effing infant! And Righties think this perpetual whiney little victim is some kind of superhuman and create flags to him with his head superimposed over Rambo! It's effing hysterical. Their icon is a con; he's a human tater tot with a brain to match.

What do the morons have against free speech? Private companies aren't required to post the stolen private images of your political opponent or his/her family members. They're just not! Does anyone think Twitter under Musk's ownership should be forced to allow posting of a nude photo of Fat Donny's "smaller than average... dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart" (not my description but Stormy Daniels)? Anybody? Should Fox News and Twitter be forced to run 24/7/365 coverage of Trump's illegal hush money payoffs to the multiple women with whom he was committing adultery in order to keep them quiet about his extramarital affairs? Anybody heard a Democrat whining that Fox is covering up Fat Bastard's illegal payoffs to his extracurricular females because he cannot: "Oh, behave!"?

1) First, what is the Republicans obsession with Hunter Biden's genitals all about anyway?

The morons are convinced that the wife cheater/adulterer would have won the 2020 election if only the other candidate's son's genitals would have been exposed on Twitter. Meanwhile, of course, they would vote for Fat Donny if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue and had multiple lawsuits against him (he did/does) for (admittedly) grabbing women by their genitals, but if only the other candidate's son had been exposed on Twitter, that would have changed the votes of others. It's effing preposterous! There is nothing that any of Trump's spawn could do that would have made them vote for Biden, and I cannot fathom how daft you have to be to believe that something on Hunter Biden's laptop "discovered" by Rudy Giuliani would cause a fixed percentage of Americans to change their vote. It's bone-deep-level ignorant.

2) Twitter is a PRIVATE corporation. It can do whatever the HECK it wants!

I know, right!? No different than the Fentanyl Fox News they're hooked on like heroin could refuse to cover news that was favorable to Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden or invent lies regarding same, which they did and still do without abatement... lather, rinse, repeat. So spare me the bullshit from the whining man-babies about fraud. If the Trumplicans feel there was fraud at Twitter that violated the law and therefore invalidated an election, they could have naturally filed lawsuits. Oh, wait! They did that more than 60 times. Did they mention fraud at Twitter? No. Why not? Because their idiot lawyers whining in public about Hugo Chavez and Twitter would have been laughed out of courtrooms all across the United States for claiming fraud by a deceased person and a private company who wouldn't cover political news to suit their personal fancy. Cry me a river!

Furthermore, the "fraud" Trump is whining about involved the Biden campaign asking Twitter to remove Hunter Biden's dick picks and some videos that were illegally obtained and involved a chain of custody including Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and were posted without Hunter's consent. Also, Twitter's non-consensual nudity policy prohibits the posting of "images or videos that are taken in an intimate setting and not intended for public distribution." Not surprisingly, California statute also makes the sharing of this type content illegal, and Twitter is headquartered in (you guessed it) California (there's a joke in there somewhere about a Showtime series). That content was removed because it was a violation of law to post it without Hunter Biden's consent, and (not surprisingly), Twitter was told he did not consent.

Now, if you're an ignorant right-wingnut, you might be tempted to double down on the stupid and whine that it's against the First Amendment for the government to request that a private company remove that type of content, but Democrats and Independents (and even some Republicans that aren't human tater tots) would kindly remind you that Joe Biden nor his campaign were part of the government when the request was made and neither was Joe Biden's son (and still isn't, unlike Trump's spawn who actually was at that time). So, obviously, those illegal tweets were removed as requested by private citizens but contained no political content whatsoever and nothing but the personal video and photographs of private citizens.

Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, called their removal a violation of the First Amendment, proving without doubt that Musk is as ignorant as Trump in regards to the United States Constitution. Wasn't it Musk himself who just booted Trump's buddy "Ye" off Twitter? Didn't Musk just violate Ye's First Amendment rights? Duh! Maybe he missed the House Judiciary Republican's tweet saying: "Kanye. Elon. Trump."

3) Violation of Freedom of Speech ONLY applies to the government, NOT to private CORPORATIONS.

Somebody should seriously notify all the right-wingnuts including, but (especially) not limited to: "Kanye. Elon. Trump."

Heh. :)

I agree. "UNPRECEDENTED FRAUD" being Trump's unprecedented and failed attempt at overturning the election results in order to stay in power. The "UNPRECEDENTED CURE!" required is the former president being indicted for his crimes and given the appropriate prison time when/if convicted. We've never held a former president accountable to criminal acts they committed. It may be unprecedented, but it is necessary!

Republicans won't be satisfied until Hunter Biden kills himself. They are willing to exploit the man's poor personal choices and history of substance abuse to attack his father's standing. But no one should be surprised... they've always attacked the family members of Democrats in the White House. They went after Carter's daughter, Amy, as a teen. Rush used to love making fun of Chelsea Clinton's appearance. Some Republicans went as far as saying Michelle Obama looked like a gorilla. But to go after someone with a history of substance abuse and depression is right up there with Trump mocking someone's physical disability. It's disgusting...even if it isn't surprising.

CNN also listed these as further benefits the win will give the Dems:

Democrats will hold majorities in each committee, allowing them to process legislation and nominations much faster. Democrats will also enjoy bigger staffs and budgets, giving them more ability to carry out committee work. Committees are currently evenly split – as are the resources – allowing Republicans to slow the pace of nominees they oppose. When a choice deadlocks in committee, Democrats must take time-consuming steps to discharge that person from committee and allow a floor vote. In one instance earlier this year, Republicans used Banking Committee rules to prevent a vote from even taking place by boycotting committee sessions, ultimately forcing President Joe Biden to withdraw a nominee for the Federal Reserve. Tuesday’s result will also free up additional floor time for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to use toward other nominees and Democratic priorities.

That's different.

Like Twitter suppressing stories about Hunter Biden...

OR, The National Enquirer suppressing stories about Trump and Stormy Daniels....

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander... no????

"There was no revelation. There was no fraud and no deception

Twitter didn't show Hunter Biden's dick pics!"

I know right! I would join twitter just to see them!!!

But seriously.... (You can just go to the New York Post, or the British tabloid press, or Google search, all will be revealed...)

Reminds me of all the right wingers crying about how not showing what's on Hunter Biden's laptop violates Freedom of Speech, and is some big Democrat conspiracy!!

I’m quite sure that that’s the case. But why would either DINO abstain from voting against the 90% of us.

If you really feel that way…I’d take Werewolf minus 1.5 lives in the #WolfVampSmackdown in a New York second! If I somehow lose the bet…I’ll wear a tee shirt that says My Werewolf Lost and All I Got was this Tee Shirt.

Doesn’t matter — for the Senate it just needs to be either a literate vampire or a literate werewolf. How about that candidate quality thing!*smh*
