*Biden openly flirts with the socialist fringe in his own party*

Media: Why do Cuban and Venezuelan refugees living in America think Biden's a socialist?

Honestly, I can take the lying and the double standards (no I can't) but the gaslighting is just infuriating. Do they really think the American population has the memory of goldfish?

I do wonder how O'Keefe has avoided earning that most prestigious of all journalistic awards: assassination.
To be fair a good chunk have less object permanence than gold fish. Early on the pandemic was downplayed by them, and people like me who stocked up early were mocked. Now the people have spent the remainder of the year sperging out, and deny that they ever didn’t take it seriously. People seem to only remember what benefits them at any given time, and like in Orwell previous positions believed devoutly are discarded with claims they never believed them.

Hardly. I've not been impressed with Ben Shapiro as of late, but he went on a wonderful tirade about this on today's episode and spent damn near half an hour going on and on about the media and its ever-changing narratives. It's worth a listen if you have the time.
When Ben is on fire, he's really on fire. He has some good shows. He was particularly good over the summer, covering the riots and "peaceful protests," and cancel culture, shit like that.

A lot of the far right types haven't been a huge fan recently because he's been talking realistically about the election, the fraud, and the chances of it actually changing the election. But I think he's right, it's probably not going to happen.

Anyways, yes. Yesterday's episode on Hunter Biden was great.

I was never a fan, personally. The man's an obvious neocon, with rather blatant biases and a frequent inability to acknowledge facts that don't match his preconceived notions, as well as a certain gullibility for lies that seem to support them. I basically stopped paying attention to him when he latched onto the resurgent accusations of child molestation against Michael Jackson (accusations perpetrated by men who were very desperate for money), because he wanted to believe that everyone who has ever been in the entertainment industry is a monster; despite the fact that the "evidence" presented was nothing new, and complete fabrications that had been proven false during his trial.

Looks like Twitter is starting to turn on the democrats for some reason.
It probably has to do with how the algorithms are rigged. There are probably thousands of followers that are marked to reduces the score of anyone they are watching who follow the account and it is easier to just unfollow all of them rather than to undo the social credit scoring.

I suspect it's a bit more then that.

My guess, they set things up so they actually can't reverse the various algorithms effects without taking down the whole system.

It's more like that they are doing it for propaganda stunt, so they can claim Biden got more followers in a week than Trump ever had. Twitter knows which way it's bread is buttered, Horizontal Kamala is financed by the big tech.
