Twitter and Musk

[gwb-trading]

Twitter Blue Checks Are No Longer a “Status Symbol.” They’re a Political One.
Elon Musk’s subscription service was pitched as a great equalizer, but that requires imagining an alternative history of what the verification badge even was, how it was implemented, and to what purpose

And the top trending hashtag is still #BlockTheBlue

The Biden administration is running the largest child exploitation/human trafficking operation in history and that is fine with you.

If it does not involve Elon or Ron DeSantis, it does not exist in your universe.

So explain to us -- how is "The Biden administration is running the largest child exploitation/human trafficking operation in history".

Provide your evidence.

It has been all over the "news".... not much different than that NBC hit piece directly slandering Musk for a child's kidnapping in Utah.

I'm surprised you can't see through this stuff, all this stuff... by applying common sense and critical thought filters; and then come to the realization that outlets on both sides ---with agendas---- game sheep.

So present us with some sources that don't come from twisted conspiracy sites... you know those websites which claimed a pizza parlor in DC was the center of a pedo ring as part of QAnon -- which is typically the type of nonsense cited as sources for this type of stuff.

This is some internet nonsense. The argument is that with the passage of immigrants across the southern border illegally comes human trafficking. And with trafficking come child exploitation. All of which has a degree of truth. However, where they run off of the rails is claiming Biden is running a human trafficking ring. Obviously he is not same as any other official with trafficking happening in their district, whether they are a police chief, mayor governor etc.

Here’s an example of how this stuff works on the right. There really is no rhyme or reason but if you are fixated on a group (politicians, Hollywood, science) you call them pedophiles and make up weird claims.

I agree with everything you state here, but note you think this is a right only problem. The left is just as hyperbolic on a regular occasion as the right. Both are silly when they do it.

In fairness, GWB has parroted this exact talking point so him playing dumb is disingenuous
