Interesting, I don't know that it will change her votes but it's good to see her leaving the democrat party.

Interesting, so does this mean the Senate is no longer the Democrack majority? I see two other Independents:

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Daniel Kimmage Deposition By MO and LA AGs Reveals State Department Was Funding Online Fact-Checkers to Censor Speech

Attorneys representing the Missouri and Louisiana AGs in their case against the government have uncovered that the State Department was funding fact checkers possibly in the US.

TGP reported over the weekend that the FBI and DOJ were working with Big Tech to target conservatives. This was recently confirmed, although we have suspected this of taking place for years.

The Gateway Pundit readers know that The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft is a co-Plaintiff, along with several doctors and a Louisiana news outlet, in Missouri and Louisiana lawsuit against the Biden Administration. The AGs of Missouri and Louisiana are suing the Biden Administration (Missouri, et al, v. Biden, et al), the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the DOJ, Jen Psaki, Anthony Fauci, Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra, and other federal agents and agencies for colluding with Big Tech to censor Americans all across the nation.

That lawsuit, the most important First Amendment lawsuit in America in the past 60 years, has turned into a barn burner – but the good guys are actually winning this time.

In October, a Federal Judge ruled that even before the court decides the government’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit, Anthony Fauci and a number of other clowns, including former State Department Daniel Kimmage must sit for depositions and spill their guts.

The Biden Administration’s lap-dogs lawyers, the Department of Justice freaked out and have desperately sought to shut down many of the depositions for absurd reasons. But this hasn’t worked to date.

The Attorneys General recently deposed Daniel Kimmage, the Acting Coordinator for the Global Engagement Center at the Department of State.

The Gateway Pundit tonight can confirm that we’ve uncovered something shocking and potentially corrupt or even criminal that was revealed during his deposition.

Krimmage held the following role from February 22, 2021, through June 30, 2021:

…the Acting Coordinator for the Global Engagement Center at the Department of State. In this role, Mr. Kimmage leads [led] efforts to coordinate and synchronize U.S. government communications efforts designed to counter terrorist recruitment and state-sponsored propaganda and disinformation. Based on Kimmage’s testimony we’ve uncovered information that the State Department was funding online fact-ch

Good question.

My fear for the 2024 election is that Trump will run but not get the GOP nomination and he will run as an Independent. That will split the conservative vote and any Dem running will surely win.

After what happened with the 2016 Dem nom, with Clinton killing Sander's chance with dirty tricks, and so many Dems wanting the Burn to run, I was surprised he did not make a better showing in 2020. But he is a registered Independant, so how can you expect to get nom'ed for the Dems? I hope that the left pushes Sanders to run as an independent and splits the liberal vote.

So what would happen is no one got enough Electoral College votes to win?

Does this make sense? They are going to push to hold Elon Musk and his investors accountable for actions taken by those who were fired or quit and no longer a part of Twitter. How about go after the individuals.

I had that in mind too, usually when you buy a company the liabilities come with it, unless stated otherwise or a crime was committed from the previous owners...

If they were going to hold anyone accountable, they had several years to do so before now.....they're a day late and a dollar short, IMO.
Besides, they're just talking to hear themselves talk....blah blah, yada yada....:screwy:

If they even think of wiping the blame on Musk's Twitter they'll pay a very painful political price. Blame and liability stays with those who perpetrated it regardless of if they're still emplyed by the company or not.

Right, but what's the point? Elon Musk has already shown he is taking action to remedy this. If Congress simply wants access to the files (not monetary) then I say GO FOR IT! God speed!

Interesting excerpt from the Purchase Agreement.

9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred and documented by such Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein.

You’re assuming the GOP leadership is substantially different than the Dems and that they truly want a real free speech platform the size of Twatter to exist without controls…
