The Goat Pen

Everybody who is whining right now about the FBI and suppression of "free speech" are the children of the people who supported J. Edgar Hoover illegally monitoring "enemies of the state" in the 1950's and 60's, amongst many, many more egregious crimes against the citizens of this country (but hey, they were mostly niggers and longhair dopers so who gave a fuck, right? Not y'all), yet not a peep from your type of people back then. Not a peep? LOL, you supported it to the very core of your shithole souls. But now that you can't say nigger on "social media" it's time to disband the FBI. Fuck off. You didn't give a fuck back then when they were hounding Martin Luther King or some hippies (yeah, you know, they were black and/or taking drugs or were gay or "communist" or were in the KKK (oh wait, that last one was always OK with you people, that was just white people exercising First Amendment rights by god) or doing anything whatsoever you didn't "approve" of, so they didn't have any rights, right? Fuck off), but now you're shitting yourself b/c Hunter Biden dick pics were "suppressed" and you think that's the biggest First Amendment violation that's ever been perpetrated in the history of this country you whiny little faggot bitches. Again I say, fuck off...

I missed that

J Edgar Hoover was dead before my parents were even teenagers.

I am not angry about the FBI trying to suppress free speech. I am angry with the FBI because the chief investigator of both Hillary Clinton (with her emails) and Donald Trump (with the Russian collusion that never happened) was thinking with his dick and submitted to the hysterical woman he was sodomizing and used his power and authority to (unlawfully) both prop up Hillary Clinton while trying to get Donald Trump impeached. He did that just so she would continue to let him fuck her in the ass. That is 3rd world bullshit hedge. You can tell me to fuck off, but I am still correct to be angry with the FBI about all of this.

your logic is most profoundly fucked up.

not to mention that given 90% of the public had no idea the extent of what Hoover was doing but that isn't even relevant AND 95% of people that are alive today were less than 20 years old when that was happening which , as if its was possible, makes that point even less relevant.

and I will say again, if you think this is about Hunter Biden dick pics, you're a moron.

The NY Post isn't posting pictures of Hunter Biden's dick. Kayleigh McEnany was referencing the NY Post article. They were banned by twitter simply because they referenced the existence of a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden that had incriminating evidence on it. Twitter was actively shutting down any discussion at the mere idea of the existence of Hunter Biden being such a crackhead that he left a laptop to be repaired with evidence of not just illegal drug abuse but also his father intervening on his behalf to solicit global deals with foreign entities. Worse, the media refused to investigate the laptop and that was supported by the lack of "interest" being generated on twitter.

It could have very well influenced the election had that information been investigated and brought to light on social media.

Have you fallen and hit your head recently? because your posting logic is either lazy, not genuine or you've lost 75% of your brain functionality

Clearly you can still rant and go off on a tangent, but its not connected to any reality of the world we live in now.

all these liberal reporters having the same response to Taibbi

I'm not talking rebutall, I'm talking using the exact same phrase in their response, its pretty fucked up.

I mean, that can only happen one way - a coordinated response against him, not individuals expressing their own opinion.

So you have to ask, who coordinates a response like this? We've seen this time and time again in the past for TV stations , like Fox affiliates, where the TV anchors use the exact same wording to drive a narrative - that can be easily explained - some higher up at Fox tells them the talking points and tells them to use the exact wording, but here the only obvious connection they have is they are liberal twitter journalists. And journalist is a loose term, its more like liberal figurehead on twitter.

Are these "known" people really bots?

We have something at work for linkedin. Essentially you sign up for some service and the company on your behalf posts articles about new product releases, etc, on your behalf and it appears as if you are posting it yourself.

I think that might be the case on twitter, where these people have signed up to have their accounts managed by a 3rd party that coordinates the talking points for them, perhaps in turn for a payout in regards to number of followers and retweets.

That's a real concern here - not only do you have a situation where twitter is actively eliminating any tweets that are a threat to their political ideology, but they have a coordinated group of followers, ostensibly as independent thinkers, aligning themselves to attack the message or messenger that is also a threat to the political ideology.

This has to be blown up.

Says you

That just illustrates how deep the rot goes that they were supporting him when they were 9 years old. At any rate, I was speaking metaphorically...

Trump is trying to fire the Founding Fathers Remember when e woulda took a bullet for him?

The entire GOP has been talking about throwing out the Constitution last few years with their wish for a Constitutional Convention. We do need to update some things but if they get what they're looking for the country is finished. It's basically the billionaires looking to kick the ladder away from above once and for all.

Hope you're under it.

I still say everybody, including myself, only cares about anything insofar as they judge it to either be getting their way or the other side getting their way. Nobody gives a shit about laws, principles, the Constitution, nothing except insofar as it furthers their own personal feelings about any issue. McConnell blocks Merrick Garland a year before the election yet rams Coney Barrett thru with barely a week to spare? If you're a republican you might at the very most mumble something about it not being right then shrug and be like "but what can I do about it?", all the while being delighted that it happened, for obvious reasons. Meanwhile Dems howl like scalded dogs, citing all sorts of high sounding principles of "fairness" and the like. Had the roles been reversed, so too would've the responses by each side.

I absolutely would have given just as many fucks, i.e., zero, if a Dem controlled Senate had pulled the same thing and had callously and calculatingly and as not giving a fuck what the other side thought about it had rammed thru 2 young liberal justices as eCat does about how things actually did turn out.

James Comey announces an "investigation" into some shit Hillary did a week before the 2016 election? If you're a repub, that's not only perfectly fine but necessary, even though he announced a few days later "oh it was nothing, sorry about that." Not a peep from repubs about how that might've affected the outcome of the election, and why? Of course b/c it helped them. End of story. But "suppressing" the Hunter Biden laptop story? Howls of indignation from these same folks and all sorts of puffed up references to freedom of speech (like anybody gives a fuck about free speech outside how it helps further their own desires and thwart those of the other side).

These are just two examples out of dozens and dozens that could be cited. Nobody gives a rat's ass about anything but themselves and what they perceive is beneficial for their side. Everything else is bullshit...

Hedge likes my ass

J. Edgar was before our time.
Most billionaires are liberals.
Hedge is now fighting for “The Man”
Rat is a retard.

Most billionaires are liberals.

Good indicator of just how far off the rails the GOP has gone. Also that the DNC is right of center and "liberal" is a very different term from what it used to be 40 years ago.

I will say that I want Elon to publish everything not just the Dems. We only benefit if everyone is stopped at this

Report: Tax Prep Websites Sent Clients’ Financial Data to Facebook

Taxpayers’ financial information was being transmitted through a widely used code called the Meta Pixel.

Large tax preparation companies H&R Block, TaxAct, and TaxSlayer sent sensitive client financial information to Facebook’s parent company Meta after customers used the firms’ software to file their income taxes online, according to a report published last week by The Markup.

The investigation, published with The Verge on Nov. 22, found that taxpayers’ financial information was being transmitted through a widely used code called the Meta Pixel—a snippet of JavaScript code that allows users to track visitor activity on their website.

The data “includes not only information like names and email addresses but often even more detailed information, including data on users’ income, filing status, refund amounts, and dependents’ college scholarship amounts,” the report states.

Facebook can then use that information from the tax preparation companies “to power its advertising algorithms and is gathered regardless of whether the person using the tax-filing service has an account on Facebook or other platforms operated by its owner Meta,” according to the report.

TaxAct also uses Google’s analytics tool on its website, and The Markup found similar financial data—but not names—being sent to Google through its tool.

The Markup used TaxAct as an example of how the data is sent to Facebook:

When users sign up to file their taxes with the popular service TaxAct, for example, they’re asked to provide personal information to calculate their returns, including how much money they make and their investments. A pixel on TaxAct’s website then sent some of that data to Facebook, including users’ filing status, their adjusted gross income, and the amount of their refund, according to a review by The Markup. Income was rounded to the nearest thousand and refunds to the nearest hundred. The pixel also sent the names of dependents in an obfuscated—but generally reversible—format.

When asked to comment on the investigation, spokespeople from the three tax preparation companies claimed to not know users’ personal tax information was being collected by Facebook from the pixel and would have it removed from their tax-filing websites.

As of Nov. 23, The Markup said TaxAct had removed the pixel from its tax-filing web application but was still sending financial information to Google Analytics. The Markup also verified that H&R Block removed the pixel, as did TaxSlayer.

The investigation also found that Intuit was using the pixel, but its TurboTax software was not sending tax information to Meta; instead it was transmitting usernames and the last time a device was signed in. In some circumstances, the pixel also gathered information like an order ID number and a user’s email address after they signed in, The Markup said.

As of Nov. 21, TurboTax had stopped sending usernames through the pixel at sign-in, the report stated.
