The best hearing of the week came with the Twitter hearing held by Oversight yesterday. Sock it to them!
‘Who The Hell Do You Think You Are!’: Boebert Explodes At Ex-Twitter Exec For Shadow-Banning Her. Once she gets off the ground,,,, you go girl! The gals get the job done.
The hearing was vastly overshadowed by Biden’s speech….excellent planning GOP.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Drops The Hammer On Ex-Twitter Execs Over Her Ban From Twitter
Notes:
Watch as Representative Higgins and Jim Jordan grill Twitter executives under oath! This intense hearing showcases the power of our elected officials as they hold the big tech companies accountable. But remember, these executives are under oath, meaning they are obligated to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Will they be truthful in their testimony or will they try to dodge the questions? Watch now to find out!”
Here is a taste…. he gets off the ground around 1:15.
Former Twitter Executives Testify on Hunter Biden Laptop Story.
The full hearing is below. I doubt anyone wants to spend 5 plus hours, but just listening to the GOP is worth the ride.
Former Twitter executives testified on the social media company’s role in blocking access to an October 2020 “New York Post” story about Hunter Biden’s laptop. The hearing took place before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Three former Twitter executives testified before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee examining the social media platform’s decision to suppress a New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020.
Twitter’s former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, former deputy general counsel James Baker, and Yoel Roth, former global head of trust and safety, appeared before the House panel. Former Twitter policy official Annika Collier Navaroli also testified.

Entertaining. I think they do these hearings to get laws and campaign bits to posture with. It was terrible. Of course. Exposing it is good. Jail would be good, too.
Aah, buried in your links I see an old friend, UNESCO. Just yesterday I was reading about Julian ‘transhumanism’ Huxley who, as a eugenicist and the head of UNESCO said UNESCO needs to “see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that is now unthinkable may at least become thinkable.” His goal was to have all nations transfer their sovereignty to a single government of the world. Looks like it’s taking more steps than he hoped, but your link carries a rich one – the current effort to shut down speech they don’t like.

I find that they no longer hide their intentions… out in the open for all to see. Yet where is the outrage?

Seriously folks, who wouldn’t agree there’s a better chance of the aliens among us revealing themselves than any twitter gangster suffering consequences of any measure for their electioneering anymore then had they been charged with providing batons to the New Black Panthers striking menacing poses outside polling places. By the time all is said and done the democrats will have taken back the House on the Biden/Harris tailcoats. Tweet this 💩

Peter.. as the FBI whistleblowers always say…. it is the process that it the payback.
Let them hire attorneys as they had to yesterday.. get the depositions going and cost them tens of thousands of dollars. Just as they have done to so many of our guys.. Bankrupt them. Even if it ends up no where. That is the payback.

While I was on the road yesterday, I listened to a grilling of Mr. Roth in which he first claimed to be nonpartisan. Then he was confronted with his own tweet where he called all Republicans “nazis” for not allowing abortion in all nine months of gestation (a seeming contradiction to me).

It seems that these Twitter execs think that there is no way of looking up their old tweets. For as long as that has been their practice, you would think they would know the practice would turn on them.

Agree… more clips are coming out. Actually if one could just pick out the GOP part of the hearing it is great sport.
I recall when it was the Senate who held the important hearings.. no more. It is a credit to many House members to really excel at these types of hearings. We get to see many for the first time.

I don’t blame you for criticizing the GOP for their scheduling of this, but the MSM would have ignored it with Turkey Earthquake, Balloon Retrieval, Bad Storm Might Hit Maybe, etc.

True enough… but they are having this hearing the day after the Border hearings which were equally important and terrific the same day as Biden’s speech.
Not enough sitting power for many to ride it out.
