You are tiresome. You really googled it and picked the part that you thought would help your argument without actually fully reading or understanding it.

Harry Reid ended the Filibuster jut for non-Supreme Court justices because Republicans had weaponized it.
Mitch McConnel then ended it for Supreme Court justices.

You should have already learned not to argue with me.

1.) None of that bothers me. Twitter was started by liberals, as I said before they believe in speech and ideas and ways to have those ideas reach everyone. Those employees understood the vision of Twitter. And because it was successful, one can argue their vision was good and well executed. That being said Twitter even when it was Publicly traded was still a for profit company and the board had a fiduciary responsibility to it's shareholders and that means a responsibility to keep it's advertisers happy. If advertisers would not advertise on a site that allowed certain things like antisemitism and racism, they would filter it out. Even then, they had a deliberative process in place to deal with it. Trump, like all things he did, pushed the boundaries, stress tested the system and put the owners in an impossible situations. But, I think they did the best they could weighing all potential harms. And in the US Freedom of Speech isn't absolute in the realm of Government protected rights let alone Private Rights.

2.) All this happened during the Trump Presidency. And you are talking about a very Conservative FBI, let by a Republican Trump appointed Director. I'm not sure the argument. The conservative FBI wanted to go after conservative Trump so that liberals could win? If the FBI is that mendacious, wouldn't they have gone after Liberals to put conservatives in power all those years during the Obama administration. At some point facts have to win out.

3.) Compare the Twitter of pre-Musk to it now. No matter how many employees donated to Dems (Not saying that 95% number is accurate), how many times did Twitter leadership come out and OPENLY support Democrats? Or trash Republican Leaders? Or tell Twitter members how to vote? You seem to be looking hard and reading tea leaves for evidence of partisanship under Dorsey while ignoring the overt Partisanship with Musk.

4.) I assure you there are more ex FBI agents working in companies that favor Republicans than vice versa. And all the rest of the "twitter files" stuff seems to be standard fare amongst the FBI and US companies. Read some counter analysis/opinions on the twitter files from agents/lawyers who've worked at the FBI.

Twitter was a free speech platform.. Every view palatable view was allowed. Then the left took it over and started banning users at the behest of politicians and FBI. For instance if you tweeted that the covid vaccine is not a vaccine because it will not prevent infection Twitter would ban you.Twitter was not making profits, its pathetic that FBI refunded them $3.1m for the time taken to censor views the FBI did not like,. Twitter went all out censoring any view they did not like , factual or not.

Trump was under siege from day one He could not appoint a director without Mitch ... a trade off Chris Wray the curent director was not his first choice for instance,. If Trump wanted a budget approved approved he had to nominate RINOs.. Thats how you ended up with Rosenstein and Wray .The RINOs never wanted Trump , but they needed his endorsement in elections after which they could easily backstab,

3.) Compare the Twitter of pre-Musk to it now.

Actually the 99% in 2022. The 96 figure is from 2018.

There were so many ex FBI agents that they had formed a template. Image attached to Jim Baker showing where the 401ks would be channeled to once they joined Twitter Jim Baker was fired from FBI and joined twitter as General Counsel.[/quote]

The whole FBI is corrupt and sordid and rotten and should be disbanded.

Tesla to freeze hiring, lay off employees next quarter: report

Wed, December 21, 2022

(Reuters) -Another wave of layoffs are coming at electric-car maker Tesla Inc in the next quarter, news website Electrek reported on Wednesday, citing a source familiar with the matter.

Tesla is also going to freeze hiring, according to the report. The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Shares of Tesla rose 1% to $139.25 in trading before the bell.

The reported move comes at a time when Tesla investors have raised concerns over Chief Executive Elon Musk's distraction with managing Twitter, the social media platform he bought for $44 billion in October.

Moreover, Tesla analysts have also cut their price targets on the stock worried that weakness in demand from China will weigh on the EV maker's deliveries next year.

Musk in June said Tesla would reduce its salaried workforce by roughly 10% over the next three months.

Have you read the whole thing?
Do you know how the FBI generally deals with Companies when it comes to National Security issues?
Do you know how the FBI generally repays Companies when they ask them questions?
Do you know if how the FBI dealt with Twitter differs from how they deal with other similar companies?
Do you know what the law requires when the FBI asks companies questions?

The answer to all those questions would be a NO. And because you have little understanding into any of this, how does reading portions of the twitter files substantially inform you? The goal is to incite, because without necessary qualifications and information that's all it will do.
Ex. OMG the FBI paid twitter money. Yeah, but that's general practice with any company they ask information of because it is legally required. Now, how do I know, because I wanted to understand it, so I googled it and that lady who I told you to check actually flagged it as well.

Read the info on this site. You don't have to believe him. He links the law. If you don't trust that, you can go find the law yourself and read it.
No, The FBI Is NOT ‘Paying Twitter To Censor’
https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/20/no-the-fbi-is-not-paying-twitter-to-censor/

As with pretty much every one of these misleading statements regarding the very Twitter that he runs, where people (I guess maybe just former people) could explain to him why he’s wrong, it takes way more time and details to explain why he’s wrong than for him to push out these misleading lines that will now be taken as fact.

And I linked the law as an attachment:

Honestly, it's only fair if you want to discuss this stuff on this forum, that you do you your own homework and come here somewhat informed. And to atomically dismiss anything as misinformation without actually reading it yourself honestly doesn't say good things about your intellectual curiosity.

Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner’s Marriage Is Reportedly in a ‘Toxic’ Place Right Now

Story by Kristyn Burtt

Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner might not be seeing eye to eye right now as they navigate their post-political life. Their marriage is reportedly very rocky right now.

It’s all falling apart,” a source told RadarOnline. “They’re always fighting and can barely contain their growing animosity for each other even when they appear in public.” shocked This bit of tea also aligns with a Page Six source who noted the couple acting “cold” to each other at a Miami yacht party in early December. They stood in the same group, but almost as acquaintances,” the insider shared. “As they moseyed around the party, they kept their distance [from each other] — never too close; never too far apart.”

When the economy is bad, people hold tight to their cash. When they don't spend these companies miss their targets. They hire people base on how much they rake in. What they rake in sustain their workforce. Balance the inflow and outflow of cash, they let go some of their workforce that are just extras. I mean people who are not vital employees.

The highly esteemed Financial Times says Mr Musk has his work cut out for him.

Elon Musk/Twitter: messy finances raise prospect of bankruptcy
Chief’s forecasts give social media company less than a year before it needs more funds



If Elon Musk’s off-the-cuff financial statements are accurate, Twitter’s creditors should brace themselves for a potential default. On Tuesday, the billionaire entrepreneur made an impromptu appearance on the platform’s live audio service and told listeners the situation was “not good”. 

Musk cast himself in the role of austerity saviour, saying that before his cost cuts Twitter’s outflows were set to reach $6.5bn next year, including interest payments. His forecast of $3bn in revenue and $1bn in cash gave Twitter less than a year before it needed to raise more funds or risk missing payments.

Job cuts lower outflows, albeit that redundancy payments will eat into savings. Musk has removed half the workforce. Others have left voluntarily and workers are under order to find $1bn in infrastructure savings. If he can halve costs, Musk can push the crunch point forward to early 2024.

Of course, costs may rise, eroding that advantage. Twitter has $12.5bn of debt as the result of Musk’s leveraged buyout, creating $1.5bn of annual debt servicing costs. Twitter is, by extrapolation, paying an eye-watering interest rate of around 12 per cent. This is partly because of rising rates but it is also a marker of the high risks perceived by lenders. Intangibles and short-term investments make up a large proportion of Twitter’s assets. Most of the debt is unsecured.

Banks still appear to have underestimated the problems ahead. The company has not reported an annual profit since 2019. But at least revenue was growing before Musk arrived. Now it is forecast to drop 40 per cent from 2021, the last full year of results prior to the takeover. The fall reflects a worse exodus of advertisers than rivals have experienced. S&P Global expects social media peer Snap to report 23 per cent revenue growth over the same time period.

This is Musk’s fault. Advertisers are unhappy that his relaxation of moderation has increased the risk of adverts appearing alongside abhorrent content.

Investors, including Musk, could lose their equity. Filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy would allow the company to reorganise and even raise new funds to support ambitious Super App plans. But creditors would have to agree. They could also take control of the company.

Musk may opt to buy the debt himself. But if banks offload it elsewhere, Twitter may end up in the hands of distressed debt funds. From frying pan to fire in one easy flip.
