You know I was just thinking we haven't had an Azure/New Era pissing match in a while, let's have more of that.

Aside from circumstances of which the emails were supposedly obtained which already takes twisting into a pretzel to believe. The evidence the NYP provided were literally created well after the laptops were supposed dropped off for repairs. Not to mention the Ukrainians names were spelled incorrectly and the NYP emails could not be cryptographically verified (maybe forged or scrubbed?) . Crap ton of red flags.

You'd have no problem with Twitter shutting down The National Enquirer (equivalent of NYP) if they had a story that the 545 missing migrant children are not really missing, they are just slaving in Mitch Mcconnell's bourbon factory. Both stories are about as true.

If the story is confirmed to be true, twitter will allow it. It's on Rudy to prove its authenticity.

This is about as dumb of a take as I've seen.

Twitter deciding on what is true or not, and what can be reported or not, is concerning to say the least, especially when they caught all the time allowing tweets of inaccurate information.

You are literally grasping at straws.

Ya, no. Let's not.

I don't even think it's worth debating whether it's worth debating this email non-story.

I feel like even mentioning Hunter Biden's name at this point gives credence to an alternative reality being peddled by the GOP, Giuliani, and Russian bots.

The media should be ignoring this. As should we.

Officially becomes a flaming pile of bull####.

I only have one of them on 'ignore'. I'm going to have to rectify that.

It's GOP's greatest hits! Pizzagate, buttery males, but her emails 2.0.

Well, you'd know all about dumb takes.

For the record, Twitter banned that story because it potentially contained stolen personal information. Not because it was fake.

Come on, it's totally unlike Azure to be very sure of something because he doesn't understand the context, doesn't understand the issue, or didn't even bother to see if more information existed.

Dumb takes? Now you're talking crazy!

Wrong thread.

[Red]

This is the problem with a lot of people. They read this and think this is credible evidence when in fact it is a "friend of a friend's brother in law overheard".

To be fair, New Era is feeding him his lunch. Just bizarre takes from one of them, more than a pissing match, imo.

Just that this is being talked so much has made this a successful tactic. It's been pretty clearly demonstrated that once it gets to doing more reading into "why isn't this claim accurate" that a significant number of people basically bail out. I doubt it's a needle mover, but it shows why the firehose of falsehood is so effective.

[Red]

It is so easy to prove someone's email is authentic.

Come on Rudy, what are you waiting for?

We've heard from Gym Jordan's staff, the blind computer repair guy, gas bar attendant near Orange Julius and many other people already. How about some hard evidence for once?

Not much of a match when one guy is pissing into the wind.
