Olbermann is not insane, he is doing exactly what he was told to do. For the last 10+ years we have seen orchestrated deception, misdirection, and outright lies in an attempt to distract attention from what they are up to.

He isn't a puppet. He drank the kool-aid long ago and while taking talking points as a start, he runs around with his own delusion. And lives in a world where the sun revolves around him.

Chuckle, chuckle …

The daughter of one of my cousins lives in Alaska. She’s just posted a photo on Facebook of her hubby bringing in Starlink box, with the comment, “It has arrived!”

I commented on her post: “Elon Musk is an amazing fellow!”

She’s 100% liberal, so I suspect that my comment is causing mixed emotions. Chuckle, chuckle …

Oh, look. Yet another cockroach that's going to scurry off now that the lights are turned on- Michelle Fucking Obama. Vile, worthless, America-hating bitch. Take your Kenyan douchebag and get out of this country.

My lip reading skills won't hold up in court, but pretty sure she watched a flag ceremony and her response was: "All this for a fucking flag?"

Insightful and informative commentary from Ben Shapiro. This is long but it is full of information and perspective.

Yep. Too busy going after any and all Conservatives to be bothered to go after the real threats to the platform:

Musk Disbands Twitter 'Trust & Safety' Council After Inaction On Child Porn

quote:

As The Epoch Times notes, the Trust and Safety Council has been criticized by Musk for not taking action to remove child sexual abuse material from Twitter.

The council was established in 2016 to address problems such as hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm, and other issues on the platform.

After three members of the council resigned in protest over allegations of increased hate speech on the platform on Dec. 8, Musk declared on Dec. 10 that it was “a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!”

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey replied to Musk, saying: “This is false.”

“No, it is not,” Musk replied, adding: “When Ella Irwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined Twitter earlier this year, almost no one was working on child safety.”

Musk noted that, unlike Twitter’s former management, he “made it top priority immediately.”

This Yoel Roth guy sounds more and more like a real creep:

Maybe nobody had more power to censor & ban conservatives on Twitter than @yoyoel who colluded with FBI & interfered in elections. Meanwhile his “trust & safety” team ignored child porn on Twitter while he sympathized with teachers having sex with students. He’s a menace.

Must suck for these leftists now that they can no longer control or change the message when they say "This is False"

No longer can they delete the tweets from view, close accounts, and get 100 bots to chime with with "me too" support for the "this is false" claim.

Oh they are PIIIIISED

The tables are turned and they're angry as hell, it's going to be fun to watch all this play out.

I do think people are starting to wake up and take note of just what a mess Twitter was before Musk and how he's busy cleaning it up and fixing it.

Watching the Shapiro monologue above - it's just very weird to me again that the "leader of the free world" (President Trump) had his speech suppressed and banned from twitdom. And this doesn't seem weird to the public? Even if you're leftist, even if you don't like Trump, on what basis are you accepting that he be banned? Are they really saying free speech be banned just because you don't like the person? So, they don't believe in free speech then - they just believe in speech that they agree with?

Truly, this is what they want?

I have tried to have conversations with people with TDS, some of them family. They truly do not care about the ramifications of free speech being impinged upon as long as vile, vulgar orange man was outed. They truly only care that THEIR SIDE WON. When asked what he did that was bad for America (I asked them to ignore his vulgarity or how he offended them personally) most had zero coherent replies. Mental derangement trumps Trump as far as they are concerned.

...and before Trump, GW Bush was regarded as the most vile, demonic and hateful creature ever to occupy the White House.
Media, press and celebrities bent-over backwards onto insert something, anything on their platforms to skewer, twist or, find some pathetic analogy where they could express their discontent and hate about him. Legal types and social organizations attempted to craft and pass laws that would be an obstacle against his administration. Then along comes DJT and the ante goes up another level; outright suppression, intimidation and threats against anybody who opposes the Leftist narrative. At some point, the Left is going to run out of room to be outraged....

A friend texted me this morning that the Left is now trying to go after Musk saying that he "lied" on his US Citizenship paperwork and that he could be deported back to South Africa?

Anyone seen this? What a load of BS, the desperation to "get" him is growing. He's got a DOD Security clearance for SpaceX, I think they would have caught that you think?
