These big companies are totally out of line. If they didn't pull their advertizing when Twitter dishonestly blocked major news outlets and factually true stories(1) which didn't benefit the democrat party just before the 2020 election, why start now? Misinforming voters like that seemed to me to be major election interference, right out in the open, and what did they do? Absolutely nothing at all. So, why now? I am boycotting any product from any of these woke companies that are pulling Twitter ads. This is because I think they are acting like this out of petulant spite, and not any honest concern over "disinformation", as we already see they have no issue with fake narratives so long as they promote leftist causes. supporting evidence for claims made (1)https://nypost.com/2021/03/25/dorsey-says-blocking-posts-hunter-biden-story-was-total-mistake/

To help the Thai elite understand the situation, I would urge all foreign countries to enact reciprocal laws which would give Thais 6 months to dispose of their foreign land ownership to a national of the country.

I see. Do you have any evidence for this? If the door was left unlocked (as if!!) then David would not have had to use his hammer to smash the window to gain entrance.

The actual criminal complaint is a factual document. If the facts are to be known, I suggest reading the official document not some MSM outlets take on the story.

Mr Pelosi is certainly fortunate. I think some violent home invaders bent on murder would not be letting the victim have a timeout to visit the bathroom, and again would probably not let the victim free to open the door to the police.

who exactly opened the door? This should be easy for you to answer as I note your mocking tone.

from the criminal complaint itself. "10. At 2:31 a.m., San Francisco Police Department (“SFPD”) Officer Colby Wilmes responded to the Pelosi residence, California and knocked on the front door. When the door was opened, Pelosi and DEPAPE were both holding a hammer with one hand and DEPAPE had his other hand holding onto Pelosi’s forearm.

You are compounding your error. I already pointed out to you that Musk purchased Twitter at a 38% premium to the existing share price.

Takeovers of listed companies are generally at a 30-40% premium(Musk's takeover of Twitter was at a 38% premium to the sp pre takeover) to the value of the shares pre takeover. Current value of Truth Social is $620m. So, a takeover, if one were to happen, would be for + or - $1 BILLION. Is $1bn a "very low price" for you? https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/DWAC/ As you said earlier today "Someday you're going to surprise me and get your facts straight. Today is not that day." Indeed!

Were the MAGAs in attendance carrying many Obama signs? Do you think die-hard MAGAs are fans of Barack Obama? As I have said from the beginning, nothing about this makes any sense, and good luck getting the police bodycam vids (remember the reluctance to release the tapes of his last skirmish with the law.) If the narrative was solid, releasing the tapes would stop any speculation. "Taub said she could not understand depictions of DePape as embracing far-right rhetoric. She said he was once a fan of former President Barack Obama, who was “more on the far left than the far right,” during their 15-year relationship. She said he supported her many causes — which included protesting the war in Iraq — and was happy to take care of the couple’s children while she agitated. “In our 15 years together, we never once had a disagreement about politics because we were aligned in our views,” she said. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Ex-girlfriend-of-suspect-in-Paul-Pelosi-attack-17545968.php

Fortunately Republicans are condemning the violent attack on Pelosi. Unlike how Pelosi's daughter reacted to Rand Paul being beaten to a pulp by a neighbor, which she praised. "Rand Paul's neighbor was right." "No one deserves to be assaulted," the Republican lawmaker wrote on Twitter Friday morning. "Unlike Nancy Pelosi's daughter who celebrated my assault, I condemn this attack and wish Mr. Pelosi a speedy recovery." His comments were in response to a March 2020 tweet that said Twitter removed comments made by Nancy Pelosi's daughter, who appeared to endorse a 2017 assault on Paul, in which he was attacked by his next-door neighbor and sustained broken ribs and bruises to his lungs. https://www.businessinsider.com/rand-paul-calls-out-nancy-pelosi-daughter-wishes-husband-well-2022-10 Do you agree that praising violent attacks on your political opponents is far worse than free thinking and coming to conclusions different to what the democrat supporting MSM does? One hopes Pelosi's kids have learned that violence is wrong, now that they are the victims of it.

Also, Musk's Twitter has started fact checking the left. This will come as a surprise for many used to not having their false narratives questioned and corrected. Good that he started with a notorious liar to fact check, I like this. I like it a lot. "Atweet by US President Joe Biden has been fact-checked on Twitter barely two days after Elon Musk finalised his $US44 billion takeover deal of the popular social networking service." https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/joe-bidens-lies-fact-checked-by-elon-musks-twitter/ar-AA13yzYS It appears Musk's Twitter will be cracking down on the "old style" of disinformation ie fake facts, not what we are used to -cracking down or censoring factual reports that are unbeneficial to the democrats. Big change!

So this lunatic hammer guy let's PP call the cops, then starts attacking him? We know he was there when PP called cops because PP had to "speak in code" to avoid upsetting the psycho that just smashed his way into the house. Why would the whackjob do that? I think my suspicions are justified, and will not post further on this thread until it becomes clearer.

I'm sure these 2 were the only ones doing it.

It's ironic the biggest climate alarmists and virtue signallers are also the biggest personal polluters. It tends to undermine the message being put out, and leads me to question the sincerity of this whole global warming being caused by man making more of the already plentiful and necessary chemical compound CO2 narrative which can be fixed by more taxing. Remember that climate conference (was it Davos?) where hundreds of world leaders and the business elite all flew in on private jets, while some(such as the man formerly known as Prince Harry told regular working stiffs they should not be taking holidays cuz climate duh).

While not strictly on topic I would like to counter this abusive, irrelevant and misleading post. Laugh and mock me all you want. So Maga folks were accusing the left of wanting to abolish the police were they? I wonder why, Eric? "I’ve been advocating the abolition of the police for years. Regardless of your view on police power — whether you want to get rid of the police or simply to make them less violent — here’s an immediate demand we can all make: Cut the number of police in half and cut their budget in half. Fewer police officers equals fewer opportunities for them to brutalize and kill people. The idea is gaining traction in Minneapolis, Dallas, Los Angeles and other cities." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/opinion/sunday/floyd-abolish-defund-police.html All in Maga folks imagination was it? Amazing how people can so shamelessly try to rewrite history.

Look at the media jackals all piling on Kanye. And BAM, just like that, mental illness is now a mock-able trait, something to use to poke fun and ridicule at the sufferer. A shameful episode really. Why have his closest friends and family not been able to get him the help he needs? This reflects worse on Adidas than West, if they were a good moral company they would help West in his time of need, not publicly virtue signal by firing him over a psychotic episode. Just feeling sad about what society has become in this administration.

and a thorough, leave no stone unturned investigation by impartial investigators of the dodgy involvement of the FBI in the planning of this kidnapping. Just the latest in a long long long line of seemingly political moves by the FBI to set up conservatives and/or protect big players of the left. Fun ad games I'm sure, but at the end of the day conservatives - at least the ones I converse with - are absolutely disgusted with Biden's FBI. "The defense’s argument of FBI entrapment draws on a long history. In the post 9/11 era, when internal US security agencies focused on the existence of Muslim extremist plots, several prosecutions, including of the Newburgh Four, hinged on informants actively promoting a plot before turning would-be perpetrators over to the government to be tried on conspiracy charges. Activists and civil rights experts have argued that the FBI has frequently overstepped boundaries, essentially egging on people to participate in plots and locking up people for crimes that they would never have committed had it not been for the intervention of law enforcement." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/mar/19/michigan-governor-kidnap-case-terrorists-fbi-dupes-gretchen-whitmer They need to be disbanded and a new investigative agency created from scratch. They are just too damaged now.

Sounds like this businessman has a full blown harem of teenage women at home. Livin' the dream or what?!

Kanye should know not to fire from the hip as he is held to a different standard being a conservative gentleman. I see hate speech all day long online. Homophobic slurs, trying to out closeted men, mocking people's disabilities, mocking peoples color, and it is totally fine, no consequence for the perp. With one proviso, and I think we all know what that is. And no, I will never understand why one group of people is given carte blanche to behave in the most dreadful manner while another group of people would be crucified for doing 1% of the same.

I didn't realize Quid Pro Quo'ing with foreign sovereign nations for political gain before an important election was all cool and good again? My how things change in such a short time.

We know they got something in return. We have known for years. Contrary to repeated false claims by the left that Joe never met or discussed business with Hunter or Hunter's associates, White House records show this to be a lie. Nothing to fear, nothing to hide is frequently written on this forum. Might it be applicable here? "Joe Biden hosted a White House meeting with two Chinese energy executives with ties to his son Hunter back when he was vice president in 2014, records show. The president, who still insists he never spoke to Hunter about his son’s overseas business dealings, met the two executives from Wanxiang — a major Chinese company — in the West Wing on July 25, 2014, according to White House visitor logs." https://nypost.com/2022/08/05/joe-biden-met-chinese-energy-execs-with-ties-to-hunter-in-2014/ "Two of Hunter’s Mexican business associates, Miguel Aleman Velasco and Miguel Aleman Magnani visited the West Wing on Feb. 26, 2014, according to the Obama White House visitor logs, and Joe was later photographed with Hunter giving Velasco and Magnani a tour of the White House Brady Press Briefing room." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/joe-biden-met-14-hunters-business-associates-vice-president So now the democrat big lie is thoroughly debunked. Joe Biden DID meet with these people the left swore he did not meet, and let us remember so sure were the left that Joe did not meet any of these people(although we already knew he did thanks to Hunter's laptop) that they censored truthful statements and only permitted lies that helped the democrat party. That is very sad indeed. Time is right to ask why were these meetings taking place? Why the need to lie and deny them?

And perhaps investigate exactly why these foreigners were paying him all those millions of $s? I will go right ahead and make the assumption that the people paying Hunter the millions of $ expected to get something in return for their money. I wonder what that was?

The gangsters missed the memo that marijuana was now legal? More likely it was due to other reasons, revenge, hard drugs or women possibly. But over a few joints, doubtful.

Agreed. The Frenchies being 100% wrong and the Thai motorcyclist 100% in the right sounds very unlikely. Any time and in any situation being told one party is absolutely 100% correct and the other 100% wrong rings bells, although granted it is a popular narrative for explaining global conflicts in the days of wokeness. There is ALWAYS 2 sides to any ruckus like this. As with all macho cultures, it would not have taken much to wind the 2 Porsche drivers up to snapping point. Hope the motorcyclist recovers completely. If he passes from this, murder charges would be appropriate. As a fellow Samui resident, good luck getting anything resembling justice.
