4chan is part of the internet’s Wild West. While Big Tech platforms like Facebook and Twitter at least try to police their sites, almost anything goes on 4Chan.

"Facebook and Twitter at least try to police their sites."  🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Perps have livestreamed their own crimes, killings, smash and grabs and worse on FB. Antifa, blm, pro-baby killers all have organized violent protests on both FB an Twitter.

Yes, there are some crazy and ranting posts on 4Chan. But I'm unaware of any unlawful behavior organized and instigated that can be blamed on a 4Chan poster. 4Chan jannies are far more arduous and strict about deleting a post or file than FB, Twitter or the unhinged blue-red hair Redditors.

CNN is the 4Chan of the MSM. How unironic.

Fully Vaccinated Cruise Ship Suffers COVID Outbreak.

Summit News: 100 Per Cent Fully Vaccinated’ Cruise Ship Suffers COVID Outbreak.

Cruise ship the Ruby Princess, which has a fully vaccinated only policy for both staff and passengers, suffered a COVID outbreak before docking in San Francisco.
[.]
According to its website, Princess Cruises requires people show both proof of full vaccination and evidence of a negative COVID test before boarding the ship.

The company did not say how many people tested positive but said those infected were “isolated and quarantined while monitored and cared for by our shipboard medical team.”

“As with all Princess itineraries, this cruise is operated as a vaccinated cruise, as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” the company told the San Francisco Chronicle. “Guests and crew vaccination rates were at 100 percent.”

Biden To Hold "Virtual Women's Town Hall".

This sounds fun! Biden+Virtual Town Hall! What could go wrong?

Daily Caller: Joe Biden To Hold ‘Virtual Women’s Town Hall’ Amid Sexual Assault Allegations.

2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden will host a virtual women’s town hall with a special guest Tuesday as new reports have surfaced backing up the claims that he sexually assaulted a female staffer when he was a senator.

The Biden campaign sent out an email Monday, saying: “On Tuesday, April 28, Joe Biden and a special guest will hold a virtual town hall on the impact of COVID-19 on women.” The email added: “Tentative Start Time: 3:00 PM ET.”

Larry King clip of Tara Reade's mother's phone call disappears from Google Play.

The Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda... I mean Google Play, has made the Larry King clip of Tara Reade's mother phone call disappear. Fold arms, nod head, twinkle nose and SNAP...it's gone!

FOX News (right click on link and open in new window): CNN 'Larry King' episode featuring Biden accuser's mother disappears from Google Play catalog.

The 1993 episode of CNN's "Larry King Live" featuring an anonymous caller who was later identified as the mother of Biden accuser Tara Reade was no longer listed in Google Play's catalog late Saturday.
[.]
Neither CNN nor Google immediately responded to Fox News' requests for comment. Fox News also reached out to the representation of Larry King and have not heard a response.

The clip just vanished. Maybe the clip found a nice home along with Hillary's missing emails.

Media has never been so complicit. Amazing. Oh wait, it's not amazing at all. We've seen this before:

CNN shelved Larry King video incriminating Joe Biden sexual assault for years.

Breitbart: Someone Else Found CNN’s Evidence Supporting Tara Reade’s Assault Allegation Against Biden.

Far-left CNN was sitting on video that supports Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden, and someone else found it.

Yep, CNNLOL had the goods for what will surely be one of the biggest stories of the 2020 presidential campaign, a crucial piece of evidence that backs up Reade’s sexual assault allegation against the presumptive Democrat nominee, and to its everlasting shame, CNNLOL was not the outlet that broke the bombshell.
[.]
So this seems like a good time to again remind everyone of the nine ways Reade’s allegation is not only much more credible than Blasey Ford’s, but objectively credible no matter how you look at it:

    Reade can prove she knew and worked with Biden in 1993, the time in question.
    Reade is welcoming investigative reporters to scrutinize her story, whereas Blasey Ford refused to do anything other than hide behind her attorneys.
    Reade has two living witnesses whom she told of the alleged assault at the time, both of whom confirm she told them about it.
    Investigative reporter Rich McHugh found a third person, a person who worked under Reade at the time, who confirmed that Reade disappeared from Biden’s Senate office around the time the alleged assault occurred. This fits perfectly with Reade’s allegation of the retribution she faced.
    McHugh found a fourth person Reade told about the event some 15 years ago.
    Joe Biden has a long and very disturbing history of unwanted touching, kissing, and nuzzling — we have video after video after video of him behaving this way in full view of the public — even with children, so one can only imagine how he behaves when no one is looking.
    Reade said she filed an official complaint against Biden at the time. McHugh says if that complaint exists, it is locked up with Biden’s papers at the University of Delaware, and those papers are locked up forever.
    Reade filed an official police report against Biden last week and did so under penalty of prison if she’s exposed as a liar.
    Reade is a lifelong Democrat.

And now, we can add a number ten: video from 1993 of Reade’s obviously desperate and concerned mother calling into a national talk show looking for help for the problems her daughter is having with a “prominent senator.”

Joe won't be the DEM presidential candidate. If this story doesn't finish his campaign, his dementia and total lack of stamina will.

Chris Fredo Cuomo's wife and son have Coronavirus.

Way to go, Fredo  !

Breitbart: Chris Cuomo Knew He Had COVID-19, Still Risked Infecting Others by Violating Quarantine.

...and did I mention Chris Cuomo’s wife eventually tested positive for the coronavirus?

Yeah, she did.

Sadly, Cuomo’s 14-year-old son just tested positive, which is heartbreaking news. That kid’s in for a very rough time.

So not only was potential super-spreader Cuomo not in his basement on Easter Day, not only was he outside  his home while he knew he was contagious… Potential super-spreader Chris Cuomo wasn’t even at home.

Nope, on Easter Day, the infectious Cuomo took a 30 minute drive — with his wife, kids, and another woman — from his Southampton home to property he’s developing in East Hampton.

Does anyone know of any other infected American who was out gallivanting while he knew he was contagious with the coronavirus?

Does anyone know of any other infected New Yorker who was out gallivanting in New York, in a state that just so happens to be the most tragic hot spot in all the world?

I know of no one who has done or would do such a thing… Other than Chris Cuomo, other than New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s little brother.

This is monstrous behavior on Chris Cuomo’s part, and the fact the rest of the establishment media are allowing him to not only get away with it (as they demonize everyday protesters), but allowing CNN to stage fake news events around it, tells you just how corrupt and lost the media truly are.

And here’s the other thing…

This is the only quarantine violation of Cuomo’s that we know of. This was the time the potential super-spreader was caught.

How many other times did Cuomo run around somewhere while knowing he was infected? Where did he go? Who did he come in contact with?

Ahhhhhhh...White, Liberal, Elitist Privilege. Fredo, Fredo...what have you done?

Wishing the best of recovery to his wife and son.

Fredo Cuomo has The Covid.

Fredo Cuomo, CNN propagandist.

Heavy: Chris Cuomo Has Coronavirus.

Chris Cuomo, the CNN anchor and brother to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, has coronavirus, he confirmed in a tweet on March 31, 2020.

In a tweet, Christopher Cuomo wrote, “Sooooo in these difficult times that seem to get more difficult and complicated by the day, I just found out that I am positive for coronavirus. I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive and I had fever, chills, and shortness of breath. I just hope I didn’t give it to the kids and Cristina. That would make me feel worse than this illness! I am quarantined in my basement[.]"

ABC’s Stephanopoulos trying to cut off the President’s lead counsel.

@ White House Twitter:

The Blaze: ABC’s Stephanopoulos trying to cut off the President’s lead counsel.

ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos was caught on air Friday gesturing to cut the network's feed of a press conference, as White House attorney Jay Sekulow was commenting on President Donald Trump's impeachment defense.
[.]
...Sekulow can be seen arguing that House Democrats have not met "basic fundamental Constitutional obligations" in their attempt to remove President Donald Trump from office in the ongoing impeachment trial in the Senate. As the attorney took another question from a reporter, the feed was cut and ABC returned to Stephanopoulos at the news desk, where he was actively making the throat-cutting signal to his crew.

As the Daily Wire's James Barrett beautifully described: "Realizing that his throat-slashing 'cut' gesture was caught on air, Stephanopoulos winced and offered a meek grin before rapidly moving on to a panel discussion on the latest developments in the trial. 'And that is Jay Sekulow right there,' says Stephanopoulos, still slightly grinning."

The video began circulating on social media as conservatives pointed to the timing of Stephanopoulos' cut and accused the anchor and his network of actively seeking to silence the defense of President Trump.

Post-debate Warren confronts Sanders: "I think you called me a liar on national TV." (Video)

Post-DEM debate conversation between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, January 14, 2020.

@ Ursula Perano Twitter:

DEM Tom Steyer stops by just "to say hi" to fellow rich, white, old man Bernie Sanders. Sanders..."yeah," waving him off. Well, it was three hours past Bernie's usual bed-time.

Pardon me, Ms. Fiorina, but nobody gives a fuck about what you think about impeachment.

CNN: Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said she thinks it is "vital" that President Donald Trump be impeached, but stopped short of calling for his removal from office and did not rule out voting for him again in 2020.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO told CNN on "Boss Files with Poppy Harlow" that she sees the President's conduct as impeachable and "destructive to the republic."

Carly should stick to what she does best; grinding tech companies into financial distress.

Wiki: Carly Fiorina's forced resignation from Hewlett-Pacard.

HP's revenue doubled and the rate of patent filings increased due to mergers with Compaq and other companies during Fiorina's stint as CEO. In addition, HP's cash flow increased by 40%, to around $6.8 billion. However, the company underperformed by a number of other metrics: there were no gains in HP's net income despite a 70% gain in net income of the S&P 500 over this period; the company's debt rose from US$4.25 billion to US$6.75 billion; and its stock price fell by 50%, exceeding declines in the S&P 500 Information Technology Sector index and the NASDAQ.
[.]
...the board brought back Tom Perkins and forced Fiorina to resign as chair and chief executive officer of the company. The company's stock jumped 6.9 percent on news of her departure, adding almost three billion dollars to the value of HP in a single day.

Read more at Fortune (September 2015): Carly Fiorina’s disastrous record as HP’s CEO.

Depending on sources, Fiorina is worth $60 million or between $30 to $100 million.

In March, 2016, she endorsed Senator Ted Cruz as the only Republican who can beat then-candidate Donald Trump. Good call, Carly, good call. Dice or a Magic 8-Ball on that one?

Finally, in September, 2016, she publicly voiced her support for Donald Trump for President.

Good call on that endorsement, Carly. See - for all of us - the goal is to make the right decision, or the better decision, more often than making the wrong one. This can be an elusive deliberation sometimes.

What fun it would be sitting around with the H-P BODs during her tenure, having a few drinks, listening to them recall their time with Carly as the CEO. I bet a lot of the stories would begin with... 

"Remember the time Carly suggested that we [fill in the blank]," followed by riotous laughter. 

 "Remember when Carly said she wanted to be the president," followed by lungs being hacked up from laughter.

Fiorina now drags herself out of her plastic bubble for an appearance on the biased CNN for no reason other than to dump on Trump. That chip on Carly's shoulder must be a big and permanent one.

O'Rourke would deny tax-exempt status from religious institutions if they don't believe in same-sex marriage.

Via: Ryan Saavedra.

Washington Examiner: Beto O'Rourke says churches should be taxed if they refuse to support gay marriage.

Beto O’Rourke said he thinks that religious institutions should be stripped of their tax-exempt status if they oppose homosexuality.

While at a CNN candidate forum about gay and transgender issues, moderator Don Lemon asked the 47-year-old former congressman whether he supported revoking the tax-exempt status for religious institutions such as churches, colleges, and charities, if they don't support gay marriage.

“Yes,” O’Rourke responded, to much applause.

Guide.Doc: A marriage in Islam must be between opposite-sex partners who are not too closely related to each other.

By definition, "religious institutions" includes mosques. BOB would remove their tax-exempt status.

Where IS Hunter Biden? Once said, "I want to be important."

Brainy Quotes: Hunter Biden

 

Funny, isn't it, that no one in the MSM/Fakestream Media has any desire to interview Hunter Biden. No networks or reporters camped outside wherever Hunter lives. Like they did with Roger Stone. Anderson Cooper, Don Lemonhead, Dutch Maddox, Fredo "Ferret-Hair" Cuomo...none of them have any interest in reporting on Hunter Biden. Oh, they cared when Donald Trump, Jr. appeared - twice - before the Tolerant and Inclusive Crowd who still continue manufacturing falsehoods built upon other fiction in a Big Swamp Production of a Fictional Investigation. A Film by Deranged Liberals.

Where IS Hunter Biden? Close your eyes and find Waldo. It's easier.

NY Post: Wherever Joe Biden went, son Hunter cashed in.

According to The New York Times, Hunter’s work for Burisma had “prompted concerns” among Obama administration State Department officials, because it undermined diplomacy in Ukraine. Was [Joe] Biden really the only person available to pressure Ukrainian officials while his son was raking in the cash? Does anyone really believe Biden’s claims that he never once spoke to his 49-year-old son about business in the two years they spent working in the same country?

Chris Fredo Cuomo Unhinged. Profanity laden tirade against someone who didn't know his name. Fredo threatens violence.

Advisory: Language - NSFW.

via You Tube: That's The Point - with Brandon.

A fan of news went to ask Chris Cuomo for a photo, mind you the man who asked him DID NOT know his real name and knows of him only through The RUSH LIMBUAGH SHOW and on that show Rush repeatedly calls him "FREDO" so the man legitimately thought his name was FREDO. At this point CHRIS CUOMO LOSES IT AND THREATENS THE MAN WITH VIOLENCE!

I'll only add that Fredo was wearing a baseball cap because the fake raccoon hair he wears must've been at the dry cleaners.

FREDO! FREDO! FREDO the WOP! Fredo has sand in his vagina...

#FakeNewsFredo - that may just stick!

CNN, of course, is defending and stands by their little Dago.  Abusive, threatening language, intimidation and all.

"Only in America." DEM Chris Cuomo mocks rape survivor Kimberly Corban.

Chris Cuomo Twitter

The Federalist: Chris Cuomo Mocks Rape Survivor For 2nd Amendment Views.

CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo thought he had a real sick burn on Wednesday when he mocked rape survivor Kimberly Corban on Twitter for saying she protects herself and her family with a firearm.

“Only in America,” Cuomo tweeted in response to a National Rifle Association video of Corban sharing about the night she was suffocated and raped in her dorm room at age 20.

Daily Mail: Backlash against Cuomo as he tries to backtrack his way out of his thoughtless tweet.

Janice Dean tweeted: ‘You might want explain this tweet a little better to those of us who’ve actually had to face predators in our own homes and defend ourselves without a big strong man like yourself?’

Liz Cheney, the Republican member of Congress, tweeted: ‘Yes, @ChrisCuomo, in America we believe women should be able to defend themselves. And we know the Second Amendment guarantees our right to do so.’

Cuomo then responded to a number of his critics, including McCain, when he wrote: ‘Read what I tweeted. You have my intentions wrong.

‘A survivor story and the right to bear arms is not where we are stuck...We can’t get past this deadlock on all or none to make reasonable changes to help reduce deadly violence.

‘Happy to talk if you have more questions.’

Media, especially CNN, Throw Hissy Fit, Scream and Whine and Stomp Their Feet over Trump 2007 WWE Wrestling Parody. Maureen Dowds calls Trump, "A pig."

The holy and pious Fakestream™ Media is aghast at the parody video of President Donald Trump's 2007 WWE footage claiming it incites violence against the Press. Ha! What a riot. How often have I said Liberals have NO sense of humor.

Trump "clocking" to the floor someone with the CNN logo morphed superimposed atop the shoulders.

Video via: I Bleed Red, White and Blue

There are longer versions of the above clip available at You Tube. I used the one above because of its brevity.

CNN has reached a new high in their hyperbole:

Donald Trump's tweet of a doctored video was no joke. It was dangerously irresponsible. In the video -- defended by Trump's supporters as just good fun -- The President of the United States can be seen punching a person with a label digitally superimposed over his face that reads "CNN."
[.]
Trump defenders saying this video was just a joke are missing something: context matters. In 2007, that WWE video was fine; Trump was a private citizen/reality show host putting on an act and everyone involved was in on the joke. 

While still president, had this been done by Bill Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama, the media would be extolling the magnitude of humor displayed by Clinton or Obama.

CNN continues:

...the image of him in the doctored video body slamming and repeatedly punching a person in the face who represents a media outlet he has been railing against is so dangerous[.]

"Dangerous." LameStream, very LameStream.

[The Media IS AWARE that wrestling is...scripted and acted, right? The "attack" in the video was planned and rehearsed.]
 
"Ah-waah! Ah-waah!"  Cue CNN:

From the same CNN link above:

Also, recall that Trump supporters also went ballistic (incorrectly) over the New York City production of Julius Caesar, which featured a Trump-looking Caesar. (Far from celebrating the assassination of Caesar, Shakespeare's play is a warning about the chaos and destruction that results for that misbegotten act.)[sic].

People do get that - - - that the play is about "chaos and destruction that results for that misbegotten act." But this is the same Media that, in 1993, informed us that an episode of Beavis and Butthead is blamed for a fire started by a 5 year old boy that killed his sister.

Well, dear Media - which is it? You can't have it both ways. Remember when politically Conservative-leaning types told us that violent behavior in real life is tied to what the person committing the act sees on television and movies?

On the other side, remember when we had the politically Liberal-leaning crowd campaigning against movie-makers to stop glorifying cigarettes and to stop showing characters in film and television smoking?

And remember Al Gore's former wife, Democrat Tipper Gore lobbying for Parental Warning Labels on records with "explicit lyrics"?

The Reporters Committee said... [about Trump's WWE/CNN video]:

"[journalists shouldn't] be threatened with physical harm for doing their jobs."

Watching the Media twisting and turning in fits of agony, despair and their endless, endless whining about anything that does not fit their narrow, Liberal narrative is just. Too. Funny!

From the same Reporters Committee above:

Bruce Brown, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press said, "When the president attacks the press, he attacks the people."

No. The president does not attack "the people" when he "attacks" the press. And choosing the word "attacks' is used in an overtly extreme manner. The press feels that "criticism" directed at them is "attacking" them. It isn't. Bruce Brown seeks to garner sympathy for the press by associating Trump with "attacks". Not even close.

Harry Truman compared the press to prostitutes. Prostitute is a nicer way to say "whore", and calling the press Whores is much more accurate.

Bess Truman...? Well, she HATED the press.

Words do mean something. But who decides what the definitive definition is, especially how the manner of those words are conveyed? It comes down to being a very subjective interpretation based on the individual. Like being told that it's not a Caesar-lookalike-of Trump being stabbed to death in the play, that instead, it's the "chaos and destruction" that is being represented...as art...in a play.

And we have Maureen Dowd calling Trump, "a pig." I've always considered Dowd a porcine porklette. When she appears on a television program, if the camera catches a glimpse of her full "body-side"...or a full view from behind her...you will see a big, wide ass on her.

No Maureen, it's not the dress that makes your ass look fat. It's your fat ass that makes your ass look big. Think I'm joking? Anyone see her in person want to leave a comment telling me I'm wrong? Because you'd be lying if you did.

"David, that's just too mean...what you wrote about her and the photo-shop of her as a pig is way past pushing the envelope."

No. It isn't. And even if I thought it was, it wouldn't make me reconsider not publishing it. I totally pushed the envelope and walked up to the very edge of "taste" at my old site. But I didn't cross the line into bad "taste." At least I don't think I did.

Many a liberal comic will say that "tragedy plus time equals humor/comedy." And that is a true statement, one in which I fully believe.

Tragedy plus time didn't equal humor, though, when David Letterman joked about raping 14-year old Willow Palin?

Letterman said "an awkward moment" occurred for Palin when, "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by (Yankee third baseman) Alex Rodriguez."

Without naming her, the joke seemed to refer to Palin's 18-year-old daughter Bristol, an unwed mother.

But it was 14-year-old daughter Willow, not Bristol, who had been at the game.

Todd Palin issued a statement that said "any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable."

Was it "funny" in May, 2008, when Daily KoS ran the below photo-shop of Michelle Obama?

I'm guessing very few people found it funny, because Daily KoS spiked (deleted) the image and the entire post.

Their rationale? The above image was a statement about Republicans and their "Southern Strategy". Well, a big. big swing and a miss by DKoS on that one.

The Daily KoS link to the image and story results in a "404 error, page not found."

The page you were looking for doesn't exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.

No...I didn't "mistype" the address nor did the page "move". Such a nice way for DKoS to avoid admitting "we really fucked up on this one."

Who makes the ultimate decision of defining "humor"? Al Franken? Jimmy Kimmel? Me? You? (No, not you, definitely not you).

Being offended because your process of interpreting something intended as a joke or humor, that isn't received on the same level as it was intended, doesn't necessarily mean it's "mean" or "violent".

See - your interpretation really doesn't count or matter. It is the intent of the creator that matters and that defines and separates humor from gravity, humor as satire, humor as parody and, pretty much, anything else communicated by one person to another or several others. And the medium of conveyance is irrelevant.

Is the film "Death of a President" humor? Satire? Parody? A mix of all? Would that film be responsible had it incited someone to act on its message? Would Liberals interpret the film differently had it been about Clinton or Obama?

Any good, new, funny JFK shot in the head jokes going around? Any good jokes about Heath Ledger or Chris Cornell? Too soon?

Satire, parody and even "meanness" are not necessarily violent in scope. It is the result, if any, of that scope that has the potential to turn into violent acts. And that can only be formed within the mind of the person who chooses to act upon it.

What was the final straw that drove James T. Hodgkinson  to make it his mission to kill, or attempt to kill, only Republican politicians?

What motivated John W. Hinckley in his attempt to assassinate President Ronald Reagan? He wanted to impress Jodie Foster.

Dear Jodie:

There is definitely a possibility that I will be killed in my attempt to get Reagan. It is for this very reason that I am writing you this letter now.

As you well know by now I love you very much.

[.]

Jodie, I would abandon the idea of getting Reagan in a second if I could only win your heart and live out the rest of my life with you[.]

[.]

I will admit to you that the reason I'm going ahead with this attempt now is because I cannot wait any longer to impress you. I've got to do something now to make you understand, in no uncertain terms, that I'm doing all of this for your sake!

Think of the the above. In his head, he's telling himself that shooting Reagan will impress Jodie Foster. He has convinced himself of that. It is rational for him to think this. He tells himself Jodie Foster will be impressed by me taking this action. I think it's fair to say that Hinckley was, and remains, mentally unbalanced.

Trump hit the Media with a powerful parody with the WWE footage and the CNN logo superimposed onto the person he knocked down. It's funny. It's parody. It's unfortunate that the "inclusive (political) party" isn't inclusive at all, does not want to hear anything that contradicts what they believe and anything that challenges what they view as their territory and only their territory.

With blogging, Tweeting, Insta-this-or-that, Facebook, etc, the Press and "The Media" no longer are the Titans of controlling News and Information. The Press and the Media have both lost loads of significance and power. The hierarchy of Media, what is was thirty years ago compared to today, has been stripped down to bare bones.

The punch Trump landed on "CNN"...? Well, "if it bends, it's funny. If it breaks, it's not."

And it did indeed bend, and it is hysterically funny. The Empire of Media continues its rapid meltdown.

And it bends. A lot.
