RupertKBD Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 3 minutes ago, The Lock said: You can technically look at X without an account. That being said, that fact alone would not mean there were actually 1 billion different people viewing the content. For example, if you were logged out and listening, then logged in, you'd likely count as 2 listeners. Make a comment and refresh the screen? You're now yet another listener, etc. So, let's say you get in a heated argument in the comments... you'd likely be a whole bunch of listeners at that point. I'm just going by what I see when I click on a tweet that someone has posted. Not that long ago, I could do so and I would see the original post and then the entire thread of comments. That stopped a while back. Now I can view the original post, but nothing else. That's why I assumed you would need to be a subscriber to listen to that interview.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too much propaganda there for me to consider it a credible news source overall and it's so easy to get sucked into echo chambers with it. Even just using it for the Ukraine War I still have to be careful I find. I've had to block a number of accounts from my feed from both sides of the war who were clearly using fake numbers and spreading misinformation. I can't stress this enough: I have accounts blocked from BOTH sides. Edited August 13 by The Lock 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The United Auto Workers on Tuesday said that they were filing a formal complaint against Trump after he heaped praise on Musk for crushing his employees' efforts to form a union at his companies. "I mean, I look at what you do,” Trump told Musk during their lengthy conversation. “You walk in, you say, You want to quit? They go on strike, I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, That’s OK, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. So, every one of you is gone!” The UAW said that it viewed the exchange as an effort to illegally intimidate workers who have rights under the law to organize unions. "Under federal law, workers cannot be fired for going on strike, and threatening to do so is illegal under the National Labor Relations Act," wrote the UAW on Musk's own platform, the social media website formerly known as Twitter. In a formal statement, UAW President Shawn Fain took another shot at Trump. "When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean," Fain said. "When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean. Donald Trump will always side against workers standing up for themselves, and he will always side with billionaires like Elon Musk, who is contributing $45 million a month to a Super PAC to get him elected. Both Trump and Musk want working-class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It’s disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns." Trump has tried to lure union workers away from the Democratic Party, but so far the UAW and other major unions have resisted his entreati 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable News Network (CNN) Ratings (ustvdb.com) The irony of calling people clueless while believing there was actually a billion unique viewers tuned in to watch Trump lisp off his usual grievances followed by Musk going "oh um yeah hmm yeah yeah look into that umm yeah for sure". 4 hours ago, Bob Long said: I'm not sure how Fox could manipulate it, other than to maybe try to get her off her game with a hissing audience. Isn't the first one on ABC tho? Fox won't fact check, cut off Trump's mic when it's not his turn to speak or when he's run past his turn, etc. It would be pretty easy for them to do. There's a reason that he's only agreeing to do debates if the first one is hosted by Fox. It reminds me of a kid I grew up with. We picked teams for soccer at recess, then immediately after the game began he started dribbled the wrong way while declaring a) he had traded himself to the other team and then, after scoring on what should've been his own net, b) that it was next goal wins all along and, finally, c) he was now taking his ball and leaving. It was a huge wtf moment. 2 hours ago, bishopshodan said: I've said it before... Dana White is one of the worst dudes out there. He is a real close friend of Trumps.

In mma circles Dana is a massive joke but he has control on so many fighters with his disgusting business practices... Some fighters got together and are having success in a $1.6 Billion anti-trust lawsuit though I think he's a joke in all circles after that video surfaced of him hitting shamelessly hitting his old lady. In public. Can't even imagine how bad she gets it in the privacy of their home. Edited August 13 by Olli Juolevi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
