Many did not think Jack looked 'well' in his Senate appearance, nose ring aside. He looks maybe a little stoned and... troubled.
Sen. Ted Cruz to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey :“Mr. Dorsey, who the hell elected you? And put you in charge of what the media are allowed to report, and what the American people are allowed to hear... and why do you persist in behaving as a Democratic super PAC, silencing views to the contrary of your political beliefs?”
A seemingly shell-shocked Dorsey, sporting a long beard and a nose ring, was lethargic in his response.
In his remarks Wednesday, Dorsey droned on about Twitter’s unevenly enforced policies for speech, which are known for letting leftist and even radical Islamist rhetoric run wild, while throwing down a gauntlet on conservative opinions.
Cruz told Dorsey, “Let’s be clear, the New York Post isn’t just some random guy tweeting.
The New York Post has the fourth-highest circulation of any newspaper in America. The New York Post is over 200 years old. The New York Post was founded by Alexander Hamilton.
“And your position is that you can sit in Silicon Valley and demand of the media that you can tell them what stories they can publish, and you can tell the American people what reporting they can hear, is that right?” Cruz asked.
Cruz suggested Twitter was attempting to do damage control for Democrats by engaging in “rampant censorship and silencing.”
Cruz later accused Dorsey of lying under oath while testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday.
Dorsey claimed that the New York Post articles regarding Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop are no longer being censored on the platform.
“Anyone can tweet these articles,” Dorsey said.
18 USC 1621 makes it a felony to lie under oath to the Senate. https://t.co/BDHRB8CEzy
FOR ANY WHO SAY, "IT'S A FREE MARKET, A CAPITALIST NATION AND HE CAN DO AS HE PLEASES WITH HIS OWN COMPANY..."
REMEMBER THAT BAKER AND THE CAKE FOR THE GAY WEDDING?
SAME THING.
BUT, BACK THEN, THE LEFT SCREAMED THAT THE BAKER HAD TO BAKE THAT CAKE.
TWITTER AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA ARE MERELY PUBLISHING COMPANIES WHO PUBLISH WHAT WE FEED THEM AND THEN SELL OUR INFORMATION DAILY.
THEY RAKE IN BILLIONS A YEAR AND WE GET WHAT?
CENSORSHIP AND POLITICAL BIAS.
ONE SIDE OF EVERY 'STORY', THE SIDE THEY FAVOR AS WHORES TO THE POLITICAL LEFT.
JUST AS HITLER WAS IN AWE OF AND MIMICKED OUR AMERICAN PROPGANDA MACHINE ("THE NEWS", TV, RADIO, PRINT) SO RUSSIA, CHINA, ET AL, MUST ADMIRE SOCIAL MEDIA AND MAINSTREAM "NEWS" FOR MANIPULATING THE COLLECTIVE AMERICAN MIND.
THE 'RIGHT' IS NOT GUILTLESS, BUT THE LEFT HAD A HEADSTART ON THEM OF ABOUT 100 YEARS...SINCE FDR.
Considering the blatant censorship displayed by Big Tech of conservatives in recent weeks, and indeed the last several years, Cruz asked a valid question but got no valid response. The biggest threat to America's elections lies not in some distant country, but in the San Francisco Bay area of Northern California...Silicon Valley.
Silicon Valley megadonors unleash a last-minute, $100 million barrage of ads against Trump
Facebook billionaire co-founder Dustin Moskovitz has put more than $20 million into a little-known Democratic super PAC that is spending big.
The super PAC, called Future Forward, has remained under the radar but is spending more than $100 million on television and digital in the final month of the campaign — more than any other group — on behalf of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, outside of the Biden campaign itself. And it has been leading a separate, previously unreported $28 million proposed campaign to elect a Democrat to the US Senate from Texas, Recode has learned.
Unlike other groups such as the Lincoln Project, which have taken a more caustic approach toward Trump in their television campaigns to hammer on his flaws, Future Forward gleaned from its research that a largely positive, implicit contrast campaign tests more effectively.
Future Forward’s size and strategy is now moving more into the public view. It plans to report to the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday that it raised $66 million in just the 45 days between September 1 and October 15 — a haul powered by Silicon Valley billionaires like Twilio founder Jeff Lawson, longtime Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Moskovitz, who has been one of the most enigmatic Democratic megadonors of the Trump era.
The group has intentionally adopted a low profile, especially relative to other pro-Biden super PACs. It maintains a bare-bones website. Despite spending more than any other outside group in the homestretch, VOX did the first detailed article about it.
It’s not just CEOs of Big Tech that are boosting the Democrats, either. In June, the Center for Responsive Politics – which runs OpenSecrets.org – revealed that employees of Amazon, Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft have donated $15 million to Democrats and only $3 million to Republicans. At some companies, the ratio was far higher – 98 percent at Netflix and 77 percent at Amazon, for example.
In footage published on Monday, the conservative media watchdog Project Verutas, shared around eight minutes of an interview with a man identified as Ritesh Lakhkar, said to be a technical program manager at Google’s Cloud service, who accused the company of putting its thumb on the digital scales for the Democrats.
“The wind is blowing toward Democrats, because GOP equals Trump and Trump equals GOP. Everybody hates it, even though GOP may have good traits, no one wants to acknowledge them right now,” Lakhkar said when asked whether Google favors either political party.
Lakhkar complained of a suffocating, overly-political atmosphere at Google, where he said “your opinion matters more than your work,” recalling a dramatic response to Donald Trump’s 2016 election win at the company. Several media reports have documented employees’ appalled reactions to the victory, including internal company footage of a meeting soon after the election, where co-founder Sergey Brin is heard comparing Trump’s win to the rise of fascism in Europe.
“When Trump won the first time, people were crying in the corridors of Google. There were protests, there were marches. There were like, I guess, group therapy sessions for employees organized by HR,” he said.
THE BIDEN-HARRIS HISTORY GOES BACK FURTHER THAN MOST KNEW
California Sen. Kamala Harris, the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, was among the high-profile liberal politicians listed as “key domestic contacts” for a business venture involving Biden’s brother Jim, his son Hunter and the now-bankrupt Chinese company CEFC China Energy Co., according to an email obtained by Fox News.
The email, which had the subject line “Phase one domestic contacts/projects,” was written by Jim Biden (JAMES, JOE'S BROTHER) and sent to James Gilliar, Hunter Biden, Rob Walker and Tony Bobulinski on May 15, 2017, Fox reported.
Attached to the email was a document titled “RE: Key domestic contacts for phase one target projects.”
Fox News did not specify how it obtained the email.
The outlet did note, though, that it isn’t related to the laptop and hard drive allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden that has made headlines in recent days.
In the document, we see Harris’ name listed under the state of California, which she represents in the Senate.
If Harris was considered a potential “key domestic contact” when it came to Jim and Hunter Biden’s business partnership with a Chinese energy company, wouldn’t it cross anyone’s mind that perhaps Harris running with Joe Biden for the Oval Office wasn’t a smart move?
And it certainly raises more questions regarding the Biden family’s business deals.
FOX most likely got what others in the media got, what Bobulinski handed over to the U.S. Senate.
In them, text messages, emails, and other documents illustrate a larger picture of concern regarding the Biden family’s operating procedures, and deep connections that Joe Biden himself has to all of this.
“Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u are face to face,” Biden family associate James Gilliar—the head of J2cR—says in one WhatsApp text message that Bobulinski provided to the Senate committees. “I know u know that but they are paranoid.”
Bobulinski is the second longtime business associate of Hunter to publicly turn against the Biden family in recent days.
He joins Bevan Cooney, who turned over to Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer and journalist Matthew Tyrmand a total of 26,000 emails, flipping against the Bidens.
Cooney is currently serving a sentence in federal prison in Oregon for a conviction over deals he and other Hunter Biden business partners made in connection with Native American tribal investments.
Too bad Cooney's last name wasn't BIDEN.
He'd be a FREE man if he had THAT last names.
HOW MANY AMERICAN VOTERS ARE AWARE OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA BILLIONAIRES/MILLIONAIRES 'PACKING UP' WITH ONE ANOTHER AGAINST TRUMP?
I READ THAT SOME WHO ALREADY VOTED FOR BIDEN WANTED TO CHANGE THEIR VOTES IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND SENATE INVESTIGATION.
FOR SOME, IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
Oct 28, 2020
More than 59 million Americans have already cast their ballots ahead of Election Day - but some might be wondering if they can change that vote, according to Google Trends.
Google searches of the phrase "can I change my vote" peaked Tuesday morning in the U.S. around 6 a.m. ET.
One of the subregions where the phrase began trending at one point was in Delaware, the state Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden represented in the Senate for 36 years.
Other subregions included battleground states such as Maine, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Iowa, Wisconsin and Arizona, according to Trend data at various points throughout Tuesday morning.
While most states do not allow voters to change their early votes, there are some that do, with restrictions.
For example, in New York, if you have submitted an absentee ballot but change your mind, you can show up to your polling place during early voting or on Election Day and cast a vote, in which case the absentee ballot is set aside and not counted, according to the state Board of Elections.
In Michigan, voters who have sent in a ballot can submit a written and signed request to their voting clerk by 5 p.m. Oct. 30 requesting to have the ballot nullified, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Minnesotans who mailed in an absentee ballot had until Oct. 20 to request a new ballot from their county or city election office.
In New Hampshire, voters who submitted an absentee ballot can go to the polls on Election Day during the first hour they're open and vote in person, or before their absentee ballot is processed.
In Wisconsin, if time allows, a voter can cancel their original absentee ballot and request a new one - but they have until Oct. 29, the legal deadline for requesting absentee ballots by mail.
As of Sunday, the nearly 60 million Americans who have voted early in the 2020 presidential election suggest a record turnout this year. In 2016, 47.2 million early votes were cast in the presidential election, according to data from the U.S. Elections Project.
President Trump tweeted about the Google trend Tuesday morning and encouraged voters to "go do it," claiming without evidence that the trend "refers to changing it to me."
While Trump suggested the Google trend started "immediately" after his debate with Biden on Thursday, data showed the search did not spike until Tuesday morning, five days later.
BELIEVE THAT OR DON'T, VOTE, OR DON'T, THE 'FIX' IS ON, JUST AS IT WAS LAST TIME.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENES, WE'RE IN FOR A VERY BUMPY RIDE.
GOOD LUCK, AMERICA!
YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT.

IF THERE ARE OTHERS, I DON'T BELIEVE I GIVE A DAMN TODAY. MAYBE TOMORROW...MAYBE NOT. //WW
