[–] kevinmrose 3y ago ↗ Weird, I thought this whole story was a "snoozefest" according to the same author a few weeks ago. Why are they still writing about it?https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/elon-mus... [–] rideontime 3y ago ↗ Your link seems like the opposite of this story? [–] ceejayoz 3y ago ↗ The releases are a snoozefest.Their being politically targeted isn’t surprising, but confirmation is nice. [–] rsynnott 3y ago ↗ This... is a different story. Your link is Twitter pretending to leak about itself (ie it is leaks _selected by the subject of the leaks_!); the article is about actual leaks. It's perhaps unsurprising that the latter are more interesting.

[–] bediger4000 3y ago ↗ I'm a bit confused. These requests seem the opposite of Freedom of Speech. They might even be First Amendment violations.How does this square up with Trump admin claims to be in favor of Freedom of Speech? [–] rsynnott 3y ago ↗ Donald Trump, noted compulsive liar, in lying about stuff shocker. I mean, there is nothing to be confused about here; he's famously unreliable.
