    I was expecting something juicy but the dossier is basically… Anything we all already know about JD Vance?

    And he’s still blocking it? Hmmm… Ok, well whatever. This is why you don’t use ex dot com.

      So much more mileage with conservatives screaming and crying about Iranian Terrorists Aiding the Israel-Hating Democrats. The doisser is damning, sure, but its also stale. So Republicans will spend a news cycle bemoaning the Far-Left Jihadists using weaponized agitprop to attack the only man brave enough to Make Israel Great Again. And Elon blocking links to the doisser is just part of that spectacle.

    I didn’t download it, but I went to the guys webpage to read his article

    Unless he for some reason picked the most mundane items for examples, it’s incredibly basic and stuff everyone knows about Vance.

    The irony is that another thread in this community linking to the dossier earlier today got deleted.

    I mean, they should block dissemination of illegally acquired, nefarious material designed as political interference from foreign interests. Just like turfing the Hunter Biden laptop leak was ultimately the right choice. Although I suppose you could argue this is more into “whistleblower” territory and Hunter’s laptop was more “revenge porn”, so maybe this is more justifiable for not blocking?

    I guess regardless of the result of that debate, it’s still clear hypocrisy from Elongated Muskrat - “Twitter Files” all about how suppressing Hunter’s laptop was bad and “against free speech”, but now he’s doing the same thing for “The Good Guys”. Typical.
