Zuckerberg: FBI Told Facebook to Censor Hunter Biden Laptop Story

It's not misinformation, and they don't care

A few weeks before the 2020 presidential election, the New York Post reported that noted drug addict Hunter Biden had abandoned a laptop full of incriminating information in a repair shop a few miles from his father’s home. The laptop is real and the Democrats all know it, but they couldn’t let that interfere with Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. So the media and Silicon Valley did everything they could to suppress and dismiss the story.

But was it their idea?

BREAKING: Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan that Facebook algorithmically censored the Hunter Biden laptop story for 7 days based on a general request from the FBI to restrict election misinformation.

“I mean, basically the background here is the FBI I think basically came to us, some folks on our team, and was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert. There was, we thought there as a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump… that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant…’

“And for the, I think it was five or seven days when it was basically being determined whether it was false, the distribution on Facebook was decreased, but people were still allowed to share it… Basically the ranking and Newsfeed was a little bit less, so fewer people saw it than would’ve otherwise.”

Okay, this tells us two things: 1) Mark Zuckerberg is a very weird guy who says “basically” a lot, and 2) The feds suppressed a legitimate news story to get an election result they wanted.

You don’t have to like Trump to admit that you were lied to. You might be okay with the result, but they still lied to you.

What else are they lying to you about? If this doesn’t matter to you, what will you say when they lie about something that does?

Day 360 of Americans stranded in Afghanistan.

Jerry Dunleavy @JerryDunleavy

NEW: One year later, grief is still palpable among the families of the 13 U.S. service members murdered in the ISIS-K suicide bombing at Kabul airport, as the families speak of their children’s legacies & condemn Biden for not properly honoring the fallen.

washingtonexaminer.comFurious families of 13 killed in Afghanistan demand respect from Biden administration: ‘Say their names’Exactly one year ago, 13 families who had brothers, sisters, daughters, and sons in Afghanistan helping evacuate more than 120,000 at-risk Afghan allies became Gold Star families.

Speaking of liars, the stupid idiots in the White House are stupid and idiotic:

The White House @WhiteHouse

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven.

Acyn @Acyn

Greene: For our government just to say ok your debt is completely forgiven.. it’s completely unfair https://t.co/V0yJWYSbot

If the government shuts down your business during a pandemic, you’d better not sign up for a loan program that Congress voted on, because later it’ll be used against you when you don’t want to be taxed to pay for somebody else’s college education.

But MTG is their enemy, so facts and logic mean nothing. They just throw out the chum to the sharks, and the resulting feeding frenzy is a distraction as they sail away with another big chunk of your annual income.

I know their job is to lie to us, but why are they so bad at it?

Republicans are now competing to see who can be more hostile to Anthony Fauci:

New York Post @nypost

'F–k you, Dr. Fauci!': Megyn Kelly tears into retiring doc over subpoena trib.al/Oomyshh

He deserves it, and the people tut-tutting about it will just turn right around and say the same crap about Republicans. If they don’t like the game, they shouldn’t have established the rules.

Something very bad just happened: Ben Shapiro appeared in public and had his photo taken with some of his fans.

Shapiro was at the Podcast Movement conference in Dallas this week, where the Daily Wire has a booth. And it really triggered this person:

Tal @ PodMov @starplanes

Hey @PodcastMovement what the fuck

Apparently this individual is non-binary, so of course it assumed Shapiro was there to kill it.

Podcast Movement apologized for allowing Shapiro to exist, because of course they did:

Podcast Movement at #PM22 @PodcastMovement

Hi folks, we owe you an apology before sessions kick off for the day. Yesterday afternoon, Ben Shapiro briefly visited the PM22 expo area near The Daily Wire booth. Though he was not registered or expected, we take full responsibility for the harm done by his presence.

“Harm.”

Podcast Movement at #PM22 @PodcastMovement

Those of you who called this “unacceptable” are right. In 9 wonderful years growing and celebrating this medium, PM has made mistakes. The pain caused by this one will always stick with us. We promise that sponsors will be more carefully considered moving forward.

Guess they just don’t like Jews?

The Daily Wire had some fun with those crybabies:

Daily Wire @realDailyWire

WARNING: Some viewers may find the following video of @benshapiro at @PodcastMovement disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.

All the people who talked to him should be banned too. They’re collaborators!

Libs sure do get triggered easily these days. Here’s another one who can’t handle being mocked:

Theresa @theresalenz

.@SouthwestAir is this really the type of garbage you allow your pilots to have on their work bags? As a liberal woman (with a job, thanks very much) who flies your airline often with my kids (who are of reading age), this is downright offensive.

“I USED TO BE LIBERAL, THEN I LEFT HOME & GOT A JOB”

What happens if a kid reads that? Do we really want our children laughing at liberals? Southwest Airlines must fire this man, and he must be imprisoned!
