You connect the US government with almost anything and everything nefarious, but don't see even the loose connection between Al Qaeda, Afghanistan anti-Soviet resistance alumni and the perpetrators of the WTC attack.

[Berzerker]

If they connected OBL with the attack I doubt the media would be doing puff pieces on him almost a year later. His involvement with 9/11 doesn't mean he was behind the '93 attack.

Aside from the guys having trained with Al Qaeda and a familial connection with people who prepared 9/11, they are totally unconnected.

[Berzerker]

I think somebody else did that attack

Didn't age well? It was inaccurate at the time. WTC bombing was that year.

I had no idea that Trump did show so little leadership on his own. Yay 2024.

That didn't age well

Interesting thread about Israel and ISIS/AQ... umm...hmm... yeah, I think he's got a point. Israel sure does have an interesting relationship with terrorists. Kinda like Obama and his moderate rebels.

Idk if X made that claim, kinda at odds with any commitment to free(r) speech

Extremist content that X said it had gotten rid of?

So Fauci told Trump to push ivermectin and bleach injections?

Not sure if I linked this but here is what I assume is a pro-Musk explanation for the suit

"The specific charge by X in its lawsuit is that Media Matters took extraordinary steps to game X’s system in order to evade all safeguards for placing big corporate sponsors’ ads next to extremist content."

Fauci said Trump did what he told him

[-Jrabbit]

Totally on Trump's watch. You don't get to blame Fauci and excuse Donald. The buck stops there. He was unprepared, and clearly made decisions based on political messaging and expediency.

[Berzerker]

Fauci was the leader
