“Handled.” That one word, responding to a 2020 demand to censor a list of Twitter users, speaks volumes about the thousands of documents released by Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, on Friday night. As many of us have long suspected, there were back channels between Twitter and the Biden 2020 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to ban critics or remove negative stories. Those seeking to discuss the scandal were simply “handled,” and nothing else had to be said.
Ultimately, the New York Post was suspended from Twitter for reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Twitter even blocked users from sharing

Hopefully, Elon will get rid of the MANY Knotseez at Twitter.

Even though our corrupt DOJ won't prosecute, get the info out to the public. Let them see how corrupt this administration is and how the Twitter execs lied through their teeth.

People should be outraged that Hunter took covid funds and funneled much of it back to the Dems. Talk about screwing over the American people. Both Bidens need to be in jail along with every damn one who participated in this. Why anyone would believe any damn thing the MSM ever says again is mindboggling. The American people have been defrauded in every aspect of that 2020 election and currently by that a****le in the whitehouse. FJB MAGA

“The walls are closing in.” “It’s over.” “Now they’ve gone and done it.”
Lucy and the football is getting old. I want heads to roll. We keep getting told that the Democrats will pay for 2020. I’d like to see that happen but it won’t. Republicans are too cowardly to make it so.

Vijaya Gadde, aka Kipling's Nagaina (the female cobra, wife of Nag) should be prosecuted, jailed for a decade or so, then deported back to her snake burrow in India.

Agree #4. I'm sick and tired of the "boy we got 'em now" stories and nothing happens. Heads should roll, prison time for some or even most who foisted this on us. The Biden's should rot in jail !

This is just the first document dump and there will be more. I’m betting that, eventually, the connections will be proved to go directly from Joe Biden to Jack Dorsey.
This is treason. We The People cannot let this just drift away after a few hearings and investigations.

The Democrats already don’t want Biden to run for re-election. This gives them more fuel. But how many of his Administration’s cockroaches would turn up in a new Democrat Administration? This isn’t a handful of bad actors. This is cancer.

This kind of information is like speed limit signs in the path of escaping bank robbers. They, Biden, DNC, Deep State, are not going to give a rat's a**.

“Could” being the operative word. The reality is probably “but won’t.”

Even when leftists are shown the corruption of the electoral process they shrug and say it was worth it. They hate you, America and freedom. They love control, censorship and mandates.

This is quite an important admission coming from The Hill. Perhaps some in the media are beginning to realize that to restore relevance they must report the facts to the public.

The government Marxists will use the same gaslighting tactic they are trying with Ivermectin where they now claim they didn't ban it but only "suggested" that it not be used. The administration will claim they only made comments to Twitter about their own take on issues but didn't order them to ban anyone and that Twitter, as a private company, independently decided to ban conservative people and ideas.

If it ever gets out, so far three days in, nothing. Many Dems still swear up and down that Putin elected Trump and the laptop is fake. Their bubble is impenetrable. They never hear the truth.

It's always about power and control...thereby having access to endless money....like botox Nancy's family of crooks...Washington DC is corrupt...and the new house members are gonna be in for a rocky ride...mccarthy is not up to it...he's a career politician who has been in bed with the crooks for years...he cannot clean out the swamp...he's a paying member of it...and his lying Ryan friend who hovers around the Capitol trying to be credible and an influence in the GOP circles....kinda pathetic...like Christi of New Jersey....
