Huh, 3.2% Q3 GDP growth would dispute yet another one of your moronic posts.

Musk has hurt Tesla bigly with his low IQ appeal to conservatives and massive overpayment for Twitter.  The company and stock will never recover.  Tesla owned the election vehicle market for 10 years.

Not anymore plus many folks see Musk for the fraudster he is.  Buh bye Tesla stock. 

Could you get your mouth off Biden's peepee for just one second?  I did not think so.  We had two quarters of negative growth.  That is a recession.  We may be coming out of it, but most every forecast is not looking up for 2023

Kilmeade's face while Doocy is reading his thoughts is hilarious. It is just a dead face stare directly at the camera showing no semblance of understanding of normal conversation.

So what name is Brian Kilmeade posting here under? I'm thinking -1400 it is "Hardcore Troubadour" (the dead face autistic like stare gives it away).....but maybe if you want to get some money coming in the other way I'd say +800 it's "jerryskids" and maybe +350 it's "Reality"

Did you or did you not say "we are in a recession."?  Positive Q3 GDP refutes that.

No one believes you’re successful to any degree, your bitterness and reliance on liberal brainwashing makes that clear.

In their favor?  The strong jobs report caused the Fed to keep increasing rates.  A neutral job report would have had the Fed be less concerned about inflation which Wall Street would have loved.

Don't worry boyo, Obama the Great's protégé' has still created far far more jobs than the orange moron lost, and he ain't done yet.

Do you understand how and why government estimates are updated?  GDP gets revised for like the next 4 quarters.

And yes, it was actually bad, just like this recent MASSIVE wage increase number was bad because it forces the Fed to keep the pedal to the floor to fight inflation.

Probably best not to try to understand though.

Well, looking at dogcows' pillar of objectivity, Techdirt, I find the exchange interesting.  Comments in red embedded.

Quote

This is nearly identical to what Twitter’s then head of “site integrity,” Yoel Roth, noted in his declaration in the FEC case discussed above:

“[F]ederal law enforcement agencies communicated that they expected ‘hack-and-leak operations’ by state actors might occur in the period shortly before the 2020 presidential election . . . . I also learned in these meetings that there were rumors that a hack-and-leak operation would involve Hunter Biden.”

Basically the FBI is saying, in general, they have some intelligence that this kind of attack may happen, so be careful. It did not say to censor the info. It didn’t involve any threats. It wasn’t specifically about the laptop story.

And, in fact, as of earlier this week, we now have the FBI’s version of these events as well! That’s because of the somewhat silly lawsuit that Missouri and Louisiana filed against the Biden administration over Twitter’s decision to block the NY Post story. Just this week, Missouri released the deposition of FBI agent, Elvis Chan, who is often found at the center of conspiracy theories regarding “government censorship.”

And Chan tells basically the same story with a few slight differences, mostly in terms of framing. Specifically, Chan says that he never told the companies to “expect” a hack and leak attack, but rather to be aware of the possibility, slightly contradicting Roth’s declaration:

Yeah, I don’t know what Mr. Roth meant or meant, but what I’m letting you know is that from my recollection — I don’t believe we would have worded it so strongly to say that we expected there to be hacks. I would have worded it to say that there was the potential for hacks, and I believe that is how anyone from our side would have framed the comment.

And the reason I believe that is because I and the FBI, for that matter the U.S. intelligence community, was not aware of any successful hacks against political organizations or political campaigns.

You don’t think that intelligence officials described it in the way that Mr. Roth does here in this sentence in the affidavit?

Yeah, I would not have — I do not believe that the intelligence community would have expected it. I said that they would have been concerned about the potential for it.

 

In the deposition, Chan repeats (many, many times) that he wouldn’t have used the language saying such an effort would be “expected” but that it was something to look out for.

[comment:  This entire section makes a big deal out of differentiating between "expected" and "something to look out for."  Really, that's the big absolution?  Also, "what I'm letting you know is that from my recollection -- I don't believe we would have worded it so strongly..."  what?  Do you have a recollection or not?]

He also doesn’t recall Hunter Biden’s name even coming up, though he does say they warned them to be on the lookout for discussions on “hot button” issues, and notes that the companies themselves would often ask about certain scenarios:

So from my recollection, the social media companies, who include Twitter, would regularly ask us, “Hey, what kind of content do you think the nation state actors, the Russians would post,” and then they would provide examples. Like, “Would it be X” or “Would it be Y” or “Would it be Z.” And then we — I and then the other FBI officials would say, “We believe that the Russians will take advantage of any hot-button issue.” And we — I do not remember us specifically saying “Hunter Biden” in any meeting with Twitter.

 

Later on he says:

Yeah, in my estimation, we never discussed Hunter Biden specifically with Twitter. And so the way I read that is that there are hack-and-leak operations, and then at the time — at the time I believe he flagged one of the potential current events that were happening ahead of the elections.

You believe that he, Yoel Roth, flagged Hunter Biden in one of these meetings?

No. I believe — I don’t believe he flagged it during one of the meetings. I just think that — so I don’t know. I cannot read his mind, but my assessment is because I don’t remember discussing Hunter Biden at any of the meetings with Twitter, that we didn’t discuss it.

So this would have been something that he would have just thought of as a hot-button issue on his own that happened in October.

[comment:  He's all over the map here.  Since words are so important, he flails around not "discussing" it, vs. not "introducing" it or "bringing it up."  So he is basically calling Roth a liar.  Maybe.  He doesn't recollect his recollections.  He flagged a current event.  Wait, no he didn't.  I just don't know, I can't read his mind!]

Technicalities only matter if you want them to matter?

There is no evidence the FBI forced or coerced social media companies to block the Hunter Biden story. Is it possible Twitter took this warning into account when they decided to block the Post? Sure, although the email discussions don’t seem to indicate that. But maybe it was in the back of their mind due to the prior briefing?

As far as I know, there’s nothing wrong with the FBI giving companies information and warnings. What the companies choose to do with that information is up to them. Just like in this case.
