2024 Presidential Election Thread

This is an odd take. Clearly Trump didn't tell them to suppress information on the laptop. But it still happened and it should still be condemned.

Of course he didn't. But he is claiming "the White House" did and it affected the 2020 election. He was the president in 2020. Did someone in his White House do this? Or is he talking about something Biden's White House did post-2020 election? He sounds confused.

Yeah, that is a stupid way to phrase it (he's an idiot). I assume he means the people that currently occupy the White House.

Yeah, probably. But how did that affect the 2020 election? Maybe he was referring to this (from a link provided by nwc above):

The second point, about Hunter Biden’s laptop, is not new. It’s been understood for years that the FBI, hoping to avoid a 2016-like scenario in which foreign actors flood the election with stolen or invented information, was advising private companies on what to watch out for. Zuckerberg himself has previously stated that warnings from the government led to Facebook’s decision to briefly limit the New York Post story, something he indicated he regretted.

But that's not "the White House," that's the FBI while, again, he was president. It wasn't Biden's White House.

He sounds confused. Should be a bigger story.

Yes. I can't believe this needs to be emphasized. No one should take anything that Trump says at face value. Even if there's a legitimate story or lesson to be learned about news suppression, it won't come from Trump. He shamelessly distorts it for whatever political gain he thinks he can get.

Dems were trying to keep RFK Jr off the ballot... Now they are flighting to keep him on:

Maybe they should keep Joe Biden's name on the ballot too.

But now they are trying to remove Cornel West from the ballot:

Will Cornel West be next to endorse Trump?

Ted, what part of the Green Party platform appeals to you, and how does it make sense that its adherents would align with Trump?
Looking for analysis.

Uh huh. Sure. I totally believe you. That's why the Nevada Dems just reached an agreement with RFK Jr to remove his name off the ballot. He wanted off, but missed the deadline to do it himself. They had sued earlier saying that he didn't meet the requirements, so their suit was the only avenue he had left to take his name off. And he took it.

Uh oh.

That's Penn Wharton. That's where the stable genius went to business school.

For the record, I don't believe that it was a coordinated effort by Biden or the democratic party. Let's take your link at face value and accept that they wanted to avoid Russian interference in an election. In so doing, they ended up suppressing stories about the laptop THAT WERE FACTUALLY TRUE and that suppression of information may have had an impact on the outcome of the election. If that doesn't bother you as a matter of principle, I don't know what to say.

[myboynoah]

I get it, it's not hard to find evidence of how despicable Trump is. And Clinton said to focus on the "Is" vs. the lies. But this is just plane gross.

If you look at the tweet it is in Michigan.

I like that Jill Stein hates democrats.

This is disqualifying for Kamala.

So the Biden administration was get Zuckerberg to suppress anti-vax postings on FaceBook... It turns out that Zuckerberg is anti-vax:
