Ex-Twitter Executive: Elon Musk Is Putting
Us ‘In Harm’s Way’ By Showing How
We Censored Content

Original Article

Twitter’s former head of trust and safety claimed Friday night that Twitter CEO Elon Musk was putting people’s lives in danger by revealing internal company documents showing how employees censored conservatives and a negative news story about then-presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son. Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former Sr. Director, Head of Trust & Safety, complained about Musk’s decision to release internal company communications through journalist Matt Taibbi about the company’s censorship of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 presidential election.

It is Twitter who put people “in harm’s way” by censoring conservative speech and corrupting the election. How come people only get “harmed” when those people are Democrats? Dems have done more damage to America in the last two years than all Republicans since the Founding. We are all “in harm’s way” because of Democrats who weaken America and make her vulnerable to foreign totalitarians. Roth has got it bass ackwards.

If by “in harm’s way,” this jack wagon means “we never thought we’d be held accountable,” then yeah. They need to be investigated, charged, prosecuted, and imprisoned for sedition. They literally put We The People in harm’s way for years, and it’s been playing out before our eyes. That chicken has finally come home to roost. And may God bless the USA.

The head of trust and safety?! Trust...and...Safety? Really? There's a laugh for you! If you're worried that you're going to be in danger, think about all of the innocent people that YOU'VE endangered and doxxed and thrown to the wolves. You deserve what you get and I hope you never have a good night's sleep for a long time.

"Harm's way" means that former Twitter executives will become targets of lawsuits from censored Twitter members, like actor James Woods. "Harm's way" and the classic, "I've received death threats" are cries of the leftist caught in the act, who now hear the drumbeat of marching patriots, coming their way.

The WORST part of all of this is that WE ALL KNEW what was going on, but we kept being told that WE were wrong and gaslighted to the point where we just gave up. Now, TWO elections have been stolen through devious and deceptive means with the corruption of money from WE THE PEOPLE being spin cycled and money laundered. The really sad part is that FEAR of government retribution is so strong that we do not have the will to fight it anymore, and those institutions that once stood for the Rule of Law and equal justice under the law only seems to protect the GUILTY from prosecution. Now we encourage the Goths, Visigoths and Vandals to come UNIMPEDED into the country to break the system to smithereens so the NoBama/Soros/World Economic Forum can take over without firing a shot from within with rigged elections and corruption of the RINOcrats who like drug dealers, only care about money and power.

I'll bet they had corporate governance rules that prohibited what they actually did. As part of a publicly traded company we are constantly being required to take all sorts of training videos; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA Antitrust Ethics and Cod of Conduct The last one is where they likely violated all sorts of Corporate Governance which has personal liability attached as well as exposes the corporation too.

Stupid misuse of the phrase "in harms way" by Roth. Getting "in harms way" is supposed to be the act of impeding or stopping something that is harmful, as when a hero puts himself in the way of a charging bull to keep it from harming a child or when soldiers put themselves in harms way to prevent an enemy army from invading. So, I guess, you could say putting these censorship Twits "in harms way" is a way to stop some of the harm they've caused from reaching the rest of us, though that's not what Roth meant.

First of all, you deserve to be in harm's way. You earned it. Second, the fact that no one is protesting outside your home or hiding by your house to take a shot at you or canceling you on every website shows that unlike the scum you seem to have an affinity for, those that love this country and adhere to the law aren't out to get you. So, your snowflake curled up in a ball response claiming you're in harm's way is BS. However, it's nice to know that you could soil your pants at any moment if a car alarm goes off.

Our entire population is at risk now because Twitter “handled” information (and those who posted it) in ways that persuaded voters Joe Biden and the Democrats were worthy of their trust. Twitter was more valuable to Democrats than campaign donations because it willfully cast Donald Trump and law abiding Americans as hateful bigots and racists who needed to be silenced. If Roth feels unsafe he’s not alone. The millions on illegal aliens Joe Biden invited to come into our country leave no doubt that Dems want more poverty and a poorly educated population. Not to benefit Americans but to benefit corruptocrats.

When news of the Battle of Saratoga reached Britain, a young Scottish barrister told economist Adam Smith: “If we go on at this rate, the nation must be ruined.” Adam Smith responded, “Be assured young friend, that there is a great deal of ruin in a nation.” By that, he meant that nations can absorb a lot more blows than the pessimists tend to think. A few days ago, American Greatness had a very concerned article by Victor Davis Hanson on the future of America.

The full records of the closed-door testimonies and other information gathered by the January 6 Committee could remain hidden for decades, thanks to the its secretive nature and to laws protecting committee records. The committee, which was entirely one-sided against former President Donald Trump after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) took the unprecedented step of blocking minority party nominees, followed the equally problematic practice of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) in conducting his impeachment investigation into Trump in a restricted room of the House Intelligence Committee, thereby controlling the flow of information.

The Democrat-controlled House Ways and Means Committee voted on Tuesday evening to release Donald Trump's tax returns. It ends a nearly four year long fight between liberal lawmakers and the former president, who fought tooth-and-nail to shield his financial statements from public view.  Debate lasted for more than three hours behind closed doors before a final vote of 24 to 16. All Democrats voted in favor of the action while all Republicans on the panel voted against. It's not immediately clear when the documents will be released.

Senate Republicans are gearing up to punch their voters in the mouth again, this time by passing a massive omnibus bill that gives the farm away to Democrats for essentially nothing in return. The reasoning behind the push is a bit of a mystery. Are we really to believe that these Republicans fear a short government shutdown so much that they are willing to concede the power of the purse their party fought so hard to win in November’s election? Color me skeptical on that front. On the contrary, as a nice change of pace, I think this move isn’t about cowardice but is about business as usual.

Predictably, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s politically motivated House Select Committee wrapped up its one-sided investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, protest at the U.S. Capitol with criminal referrals against former President Donald Trump. While it may be a stretch to say the criminal referrals were the panel’s objective all along, it was certainly predictable that the nine Trump-hating members would eventually vote to refer Trump to the Department of Justice for prosecution, which is precisely what they did this week on four trumped-up charges: inciting insurrection, conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of an act of Congress, and conspiracy to make a false statement.

We can thank Watergate and the fall of Richard Nixon for numerous words and quotes that continue to shape public understanding of political scandals. There’s “hush money” and “Deep Throat,” a “modified limited hangout” and “follow the money.” But half-a-century later, two other Watergate phrases are key to comprehending the FBI’s sordid role in suppressing The Post’s initial coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop.  The first is, “What did the president know and when did he know it?” In a 1973 Watergate hearing, the question about the president’s knowledge was asked by Sen. Howard Baker to White House counsel John Dean.

The Louisville lawmaker said her son had just received a significant promotion working for the Human Rights Campaign, which advocates for LGBTQ rights.  He had finally found a community, she said, 'but that could not undo the brokenness that he already felt.'

No, McConnell said that "providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans." Really?

A Kentucky state senator's transgender son died on Friday after taking his own life at the age of 24.  Henry Berg-Brousseau, whose mother is a Democratic state senator, 'long struggled with mental illness,' his mother said - not because he was trans but because 'a lack of acceptance took a toll.' The Louisville lawmaker said her son had just received a significant promotion working for the Human Rights Campaign, which advocates for LGBTQ rights.  He had finally found a community, she said, 'but that could not undo the brokenness that he already felt.'

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday issued a terse response to the House Jan. 6 select committee’s decision to refer criminal charges against former President Trump to the Justice Department. “The entire nation knows who is responsible for that day. Beyond that, I don’t have any immediate observations,” McConnell said in a statement reacting to the House panel voting to refer four criminal charges against Trump to prosecutors in connection to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. 
Why Do Liberals Hate Trump So Much? 29 replies

The question in the title needs, I believe, critical examination. Why DOES the Left hate Trump so much? The answer, as usual, can largely be found by analyzing history. But first. Do they hate him because the average price of a gallon of gas in his administration was far lower than under Biden? Is it because inflation was low (around 2%) and trending downward? Is it that the USA was energy independent and didn’t need to beg our enemies for oil, deplete our strategic oil reserve or sell it to China? Is it because black and Hispanic unemployment was lower than at any time in history?

Add yet another government overreach to the “Things You Didn’t Think Could Happen in America” file: Democrats on the lame-duck House and Ways and Means Committee voted Tuesday to release six years of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns. Why? Because they um, uh—because they want to? But wait, you say to yourself, that’s not possible; your tax returns are private by federal law, and therefore protected from release. The Dems of course found a sleazy way around that. The tax code allows the committee to look at people’s tax returns to provide “oversight” of the Internal Revenue Service, and by writing an official report on their findings,

PORTLAND, Ore. — Policymakers for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality on Monday approved a rule that prohibits the sale of new gasoline-powered passenger vehicles in Oregon by 2035. The effort comes as Oregon plans to cut climate-warming emissions by 50% by 2035 and by 90% by 2050, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. The transportation sector accounts for nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions in Oregon. (Snip) The new rule also requires manufacturers to increase access to affordable zero-emission vehicles to low-income households and communities of color. It offers incentives to manufacturers to sell electric cars to community car share programs, to

Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz denounced the Jan. 6 committee as a “kangaroo court” that produced a worthless report that should be “thrown in the wastebasket.” In an interview Monday evening on Newsmax TV, the eminent lawyer said that “not only is [the Justice Department] not obligated to do anything, it is obligated not to do anything” in response to the panel’s recommendations Monday that former President Donald Trump be prosecuted. According to Mr. Dershowitz, the panel operated against the spirit of one of only two civil-liberties provisions in the original Constitution,

Stanford University has published an index of 'harmful language' that it wants to eliminate because the terms are 'ableist, ageist or racist' — including the word American — as it calls for US citizen to be used instead. The University revealed the plan in May, and wants to remove the words from its IT systems and websites, with grandfather, brave and master are also on the list. The Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative will also aim to educate people about the impact that 'racist, violent and biased' words have. It has listed 10 sections where 'harmful' language can occur under the headings:

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said Monday he supports bringing Republican House business to a halt until as late as March next year if it means electing someone besides House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to be speaker. Gaetz, one of five outspoken opponents of McCarthy, told Charlie Kirk in an interview he would rather wait weeks and have “sort of a turbulent takeoff” than have McCarthy be speaker. “I’m saying we could see the cherry blossoms bloom and not have a speaker. I hope it doesn’t come to that,” Gaetz said, in reference to the popular flower in D.C. that blooms annually around the end of March.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Tuesday joined 13 Republicans who vowed to tank any priorities of GOP senators who vote for the 4,155 page omnibus bill that was negotiated with Democrats before a new Republican majority could take control of the House. Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Scott Perry (R-PA), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ), along with nine other conservatives House members, signed a letter Tuesday promising to block any priorities of the Republican senators who rushed to support the omnibus deal with Democrats just days before Congress leaves town for Christmas.
