The FBI provided a general warning about Russian disinformation, not specifically the laptop. At least that's what Zuckerburg said on the podcast. He then said that this is what lead to them reducing it's promotion.
I did notice that the usual suspects such as Poso etc have been pushing the idea that Zuck said that the FBI told facebook that the laptop story was Russian disinfo and that they should censor it.
Basically, the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us- some folks on our team and was like, 'Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert… We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that, basically, there's about to be some kind of dump of that's similar to that. So just be vigilant.
We just kind of thought hey look, if the FBI, which I still view is a legitimate institution in this country, it's a very professional law enforcement- they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something then I want to take that seriously.
You can speak and read English, right? Then surely you will have figured out by now that these people who's views you keep repeating and making you look stupid, might not be on the up and up? Fool me once and all that.
I mean when some is happy to cite the Taliban as believable anything is possible.
Keep turning those screws on "Bullsh1t Mountain"
You're forgetting that the FBI are the bad guys now and are there to enforce the iron rule of the tyrannical Joe Biden.

Interesting, in the Seth Rich defamation case, Fox didn't allow Hannity to be deposed, they settled before then. This case has progressed a lot further. Fox is likely banking on 1st Amendment protections, the depositions are part of discovery so there's more time yet to go once Dominion gets the depositions.
Trump and his host of 2020 election deniers appears to be an extraordinary occurrence in USA history. Certainly there have been those who have denied election results in the past, but not remotely close to the depth, breadth, and volume of Trump’s denial today.
Trump continues to spout his election denial conspiracy theories at rallies, interviews, fund raisers and social media posts without evidence of merit. Completely ignoring the results of 60 court cases that failed to substantiate his election denial claims. Trump’s election denial conspiracy theories will be a substantial part of his 2024 presidential election platform.
I think a big reason this behaviour is happening now is social media, we now consume news in a very different manner. A lot of people only consume something that agrees with their own biases so are actively seeking one side of the story. We are probably all guilty of it to some degree but Trump has pushed it far down the road with his fake news rhetoric.
”The medium is the message,” to a large extent (Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media, 1964).
Apologies if this is considered a link dump but Sam Harris absolutely nails everything about Trump imo

Another MAGA lemming jumping off the cliff ...
There was a time I hated hearing from 45 online.
However, now I love it!
He's clearly freaking out and there's no way to go but down.
You love to see it.
Those panicked Truths, all in a row, definitely make me think he knows the game is up. He is not a very sophisticated individual so it's fairly easy to see where his fears lie. I cannot wait to see what they found in his safe.
His Truth Social rants are even better if you read them in Trumps voice and with his diction. Some sentences have five or six commas in them so you really get the Trump effect
Is it 5pm that the FBI are due to release the affidavit that their search warrant of Mar a Lago was based upon? If so theres only 40 minutes to go, if there is anything good in it that doesnt get redacted Trump should be going ballastic for the rest of the evening. Could be popcorn tme
It appears the poster who mocked reporting that Russians had infiltrated MAL has deleted their post?
The court docs are very heavily redacted, but here's the explanation as to why..
In the unredacted sections
"there is probable cause to believe that additional documents that contain classified NDI or that are Presidential records subject to record retention requirements currently remain at the PREMISES
There is also probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found
there is probable cause to believe that the locations to be searched at the PREMISES contain evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed.”
So the warrant was looking for national defense information improperly stored at Trump's home, as well as evidence of obstruction and contraband, fruits of crime or other illegally held items.
We know they found the documents, which is evidence in itself of obstruction. I can't wait to find out what fruits of crime they came away with!
45's response...
Every once in awhile I have to pinch myself that this is reality.
Jesus Obama lives rent free in his head doesn’t he.
Of course he will, but he still won't pay the Truth Social bills. That money will go straight into Donnie's pocket.
I doubt room in that head costs very much. Pretty empty place.
I think it says a lot about the decline of the US that not only is a complete lunatic like Trump a part of their political scene, but that he is massively supported as well.
Make no mistake about it, as bad as the Democrats are, the Republicans are little more than a demented cult. There’s simply no comparison anymore, if the US leans red or allows the Republicans to ever get full control again, they’re dead as a country. They really are degenerates.
It’s actually fascinating watching them decline in ignorance and stupidity as they are. China have won the war for the next century without firing a bullet because the Republicans have decided to try create a third world idiocracy while still trying to return to the 50’s.
I'm afraid that the implosion of the US is not too far away. More and more election deniers are getting into state administrative positions which will more or less guarantee some sort of Republican governance in the next year or so. Once that happens, all bets are off. The party of "law and order" and "loyalty to the constitution" are now nothing more than a wannabe Nazi party.
They’re evil bastards, the Republicans.
And before anyone starts, no, the Democrats are not evil bastards so don’t even try to both sides this one.
Does the size of the podcast determine whether he was under oath or not?
Guess which pages his surrogates are focusing on
Also the multilevel marketing is out of control
"Hatred of your favorite President, me"
Fucking hell. 🙄
The hot takes are flop takes
As though, yeah, the reason they pushed for abortion bans was because students weren't paying their loans?
Good luck getting him to keep his ****ing mouth shut.
Only way you can do that is to get him under oath, then he clams right up.
hahaha
