Hunter Emails, Media Meltdown

The NY Post runs a bizarre story of drowned Apples and Hunter emails. Let me say that by way of comparison, the media danced around the Steele dossier prior to the 2016 election because the allegations could not be verified. In early January 2017 Comey briefed Trump so his media pals could write "The President-elect was told today that Moscow allegedly had tapes of him peeing on hookers."  Keeping it classy!

Now Twitter has banned any link to the story because reasons, but mainly the material may have been obtained illegally by someone. Kind of not how Twitter treated Trump's tax returns, but that's TOTALLY different because more reasons.

This story will change nothing other than the blood pressure of partisans on both sides.

Yeah, the media and social media giants really treated Sarah Palin’a hacked emails and the illegal recordings of Mitt Romney with such respect and kid gloves.

Newsmax got a "no comment" from Trump when asked about the future status of Barr.

Probably JMH from back thread: "links to Twitter lately? I keep getting "Something went wrong, try again" messages"

I wonder if it's a bug but they don't fix it because it means they get multiple hits.

[henry]

I have no idea. Did Evers send Kung Flu active people to nursing homes? Schools & colleges are hot spots.. but hospital admissions are up. We are still mandatory mask and basically locked down.

@thenewsoncnbc

Wisconsin has opened an emergency field hospital as coronavirus cases surge and doctors urge people to take precautions. @shaqbrewster is on the ground with the latest.

“ Wisconsin has opened an emergency field hospital as coronavirus cases surge ”

Is there any real capacity problem or is this just more theater in the pursuit political power?

[henry]

“Never a more corrupt administration than Obama / Biden”

[Another Bob]

The New York Post main Twitter account has been locked.

Anyone taking bets on Trump’s Twitter account getting nuked?

[henry]

Jimmyk, current Kung Flu hospitalizations are at a high for Kung Flu. From 200s to 900s over past couple weeks. Never give context on where, or if any hospital is swamped. So whoever knows ain’t telling.

[Captain Hate]

Thanks for the news about Miss Marple.

Condolences to KK's friend. It's impossible for me to believe the self hatred taught in public and many private schools for young males, particularly white, isn't complicit in these suicides.

What if Trump gives an oval office address, and all the networks and cable channels boycott it? Including FOX?

I'm been thinking about that. Most of the networks stopped covering PDT's daily briefings on covid early on (when it was the big story and everyone was at home to watch) when polling showed a huge surge in approval for POTUS and it was recognized that the American people were for the first time seeing with their own eyes what absolute asshoes the media is, rather than only being allowed to see the manipulated "edits" on the news.

“ Never give context on where, or if any hospital is swamped. So whoever knows ain’t telling.”

In other words, no, since if any hospital were swamped it would be all over not just the local news but the NYT, WaPo, CNN etc.

National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien announced Wednesday two American hostages who were held in Yemen by Iranian backed Houthis have been released.

"The United States welcomes the release today of US citizens Sandra Loli and Mikael Gidada from Houthi custody in Yemen. We send our condolences to the family of Bilal Fateen whose remains will be repatriated as well. We extend our sincerest thanks to Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman and King Salman of Saudi Arabia for their efforts to secure the release of our citizens," O'Brien released in a statement. "President Trump continues to prioritize securing the release and repatriation of Americans held hostage abroad. We will not rest until those held are home with their loved ones. President Trump has brought home over 50 hostages and detainees from 22 countries since taking office."

I knew Dorsey would cave. Just a matter of time.

[Porchlight]

AB, notice the use of "around" in those three tweets. Such libspeak. I hear it daily at work. Supposed to be "softer" and less "problematic" (read: more feminine) than "about" or "regarding" or "concerning."

[Porchlight]

[JM Hanes]

This might be an opportune moment to persuade folks that a mass exodus to Parler (?) is the best response. If people started spreading the word to everyone who follows them and to their own followers, and if the President and the NY Post and few more high profile Twitter folks led the way it could be epic. Nobody, even lefties are going to leave the President's tweets unread. The media has to read his comments in order to be able to complain about him.

[Porchlight]

The first glimmer from the RCP average of the inevitable "tightening" (which is BS of course, the giant gap wasn't ever real, it just means pollsters are starting to do what they always do to salvage their "reputations" later):

[JM Hanes]

Good news, Porch! I picked the wrong night to miss, didn't I?

[Porchlight]

It's okay JMH, there are many more to come!

[Another Bob]

So is Dorsey just not in control of his crew? He always acts surprised that these things turned out the way they did.

They’re playing a dangerous (for them) game.

[Captain Hate]

What reputations would those be, Porch? I ridicule the poll monkeys every election.

Dorsey's like all the nouveau riche; when you make it that big that quickly you have no real perspective on how to act when what you do has large consequences.

[Pinandpuller]

Dayum! Wolf Blitzer getting under Nancy Pelosi’s considerably loose skin.

[BeastsEngland]

Trump could issue an EO prohibiting federal government agencies from using Twitter and Facebook for official communications. Or even accessing those sites on government-issued devices. That would get their attention.

Shelby Steele, a black conservative who teaches at Stanford, has written and narrated a film about the death of Michael Brown (the "hands up" guy shot in Ferguson by the cop he punched).

Amazon is refusing to allow the film to be sold on its platform, on the grounds that it does not meet Amazon's "content quality expectations."

Steele has a Ph.D. (in English), has won a National Book Critics Circle Award, and is a senior fellow at Stanford.

But his film isn't up to Amazon's "quality expectations." AYFKM?

Amazon's "expectations" are that everybody will toe the leftist line and repeat the lies about Brown that the race baiting MSM and all the race hustlers like Sharpton and Crump have been peddling for years now.

And if an actual black academic like Steele tries to correct the record and tell the truth about what happened, Amazon shuts him out.

F*ck these fascists.

To elaborate on my thing about Dorsey, he's only drawn more attention to the story he tried to censor. And he doesn't come off as smart.

Ok I'm going to read and listen to music. This day has worn me down trying to keep up. Trump is a genetic freak with his energy level.

[ccgirl]

Poor, Miss M! I am so glad she is okay! Best she has time away from this news cycle! The ups and downs are nuts, but WE ARE WINNING! I can feel it!

But my town is solidly and sadly blue. And certainly there are many stories of hypocrisy going on. Not new around these parts. Whatever. I am so done with the local bs, I am not scared to tell them all to take a good look at their hypocrisy. The horror!

KK, so sorry to read your post. The left and it’s fifth column has been a huge part of the misery content in this country, and 2020 is the apex.

Jimsc, thanks. I feel reassured that he is probs okay after speaking with customers who have either been a mess and cleaned up their live. One in particular has been through it all. He took a minute to ask, and reassured me.

I hate to ask. Where has Gus been? I miss his caps and rants.

I'd like to see Shelby Steele sue them in such a way that they would have to articulate what precisely what their content quality expectations are. There's got to be some legal way to get at that information, or at the fact that they have no explicit standards at all. We can all recognize the weasel words here, but we have to figure out some way to protect individuals from the depredations and manipulation of the mega corps. This may not be discrimination on the basis of race in this case, but it is discrimination nonetheless, and if we can't figure out how to make it illegal, we need to do start busting up some corporate chops.

A meet-up is definitely in order. I was pretty tempted by the idea of ice fishing with henry last time we were dreaming up a get together, but at this rate, who knows which states will be open or shut this winter.

The other day I was wondering why on earth someone like Brennan would hang onto all sorts of incriminating material instead of destroying it. It struck me that just like last time, he probably didn't believe that Trump could another election. Perhaps he wanted a record of all his dubious achievements ready when the Biden administration rolled back into town.

Who Is Lady Susan?
A French publisher is realeasing a facsimile of Jane Austen's first book:

This first significant novel written by Jane Austen, Lady Susan is believed to have been composed in the 1790s when Austen was 18 or 19. The epistolary novel was not published until 1871, 54 years after the author’s death. In it, we meet the titular heroine, a selfish, scheming, and serial seducer. Scholars have compared the novel to Les Liaisons Dangereuses, also epistolary in format and published in 1782.

Sounds like fun, no?
