The EU Commissioner Who Demanded That Elon Musk Censor Speech or Be Arrested Has Been Forced to Resign

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with his decision to force Europe's censorship regime on American speakers, or if this is just the usual knife-fight-in-a-telephone- booth that Marxist authoritarians are always engaged in.

Maybe a little of both.

VodkaPundit:

Thierry Breton, the European Union commissioner who tried to bully Elon Musk into banishing free speech from Twitter/X, resigned in shame from his post today and liberty lovers everywhere should rejoice.
Breton, who truly deserves a spot on this long-dormant blog, quit in an open letter where he accused European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of plotting against him. "You asked France to withdraw my name -- for personal reasons that in no instance you have discussed directly with me -- and offered, as a political trade-off, an allegedly more influential portfolio for France in the future College," he wrote.
According to Deadline, Breton has been "at odds with von der Leyen [since] August when he sent a letter to Musk, urging him to ensure that X adhered to EU regulations and moderated content."

In response, Musk told Breton to back-off with an expletive-laden meme on X, taken from the satirical action thriller Tropic Thunder.
The European Commission would not comment on the insult, but a spokesperson stated that "the timing and wording" of Breton's letter to Musk had not been coordinated with von der Leyen or other commissioners, in a response that was seen as a rebuke to the commissioner.
Translation: Breton embarrassed Brussels and had to be sidelined.
Had Musk caved, Breton would still be hard at work, determining what is "safe" for people to be allowed to read in Europe -- and even in this country.

VodkaPundit then turns to wondering about the last major innovations that came out of Europe, and wonders if the lack of such innovations may be connected to its Atheist Jihadist views on heretical thoughts.

Probably acting without an adequate mandate. If you're going to do what Breton did, you have to be damn sure that you're taking a step along a sure-fire path with absolute backing.

What this says to me, more than anything else, is that the EU power structure is not fully united behind formally destroying any semblance of free speech. Somebody blinked, and Breton is left holding the bag.

Define "real." In my opinion, no, Belgium is not a real country. It is two disparate regions - and languages - shoehorned together by the British in a bit of realpolitik a long time ago.

But it has one government and tax code, so it's real enough, I suppose.

“I tell them, ‘OK, but there’s other people on this ballot that support a ceasefire. There’s other people on this ballot that can protect our community,'” Tlaib said.

She's becoming another Tulsi.

Worse. Her main thing is hating on Israel and waiving a Palestinian flag, all while winking at Hamas.

Tulsi's thing was supporting Syria's President Assad, who looks like a Sunday School teacher compared to Hamas.

She's supposed to be a Democrat! She better fucking get with the program or find a new job.

We are currently stuck with a binary system. Not supporting Harris is supporting Trump.

Trump told Bibi to send all the settlers he wanted to the West Bank when he was president. Today he would most likely tell Bibi to just finish killing all the Gaza population so Jared can build luxury resorts there with a cut for his father-in-law.

151 Jumping on here because I have something to say about the "woman dining alone" thread that I didn't get to and think it's valuable.

I don't doubt that those women *think* that they're enjoying dining alone and that they think they're happy, generally, with their life choices. But thing about our life choices is that they have a way of sometimes constraining our capacity for happiness. In the same way that I think a dude who sits in his underwear all day playing video games, smoking weed, and eating junk food is "happy" I also don't think his capacity for happiness is very high. He's not habituated himself to the kinds of things that allow him to appreciate the higher goods.

Unfortunately for those kinds of people, as a Christian, I think that goods and their hierarchy are absolutely objective, and any attempt to convince themselves that they're truly happy can only be successful insofar as they deny the reality of the highest order of goods. Not just God, but family, as well.

172 Gender equality. It'll work out well, said noone.

NYT, today, in part, "Ms. von der Leyen has already pushed back her announcement of the 27 commissioners to make up the European Commission, with each E.U. member state getting one leadership slot. The commissioners act almost like a national cabinet, with each leader overseeing a policy area, including climate, trade and migration.

She had asked member countries to nominate both men and women for commission roles. After most countries nominated only men, several countries, under pressure from Ms. von der Leyen, in recent weeks switched their nominations to female candidates. Slovenia, embroiled in a domestic political dispute, has not yet named a commissioner."

Looks like the EU elite will be debating BS when 10,000 people rush a border. Academic and wealthy but not of the real world. Jealousy, why they won't leave Mush alone.

Trump wins the state easily in a fair election [coughs, gags, farts, vomits].

It's been known for quite some time. In the primary a large group of MI Muslims refused to vote for Biden over the Biden/Harris plan that didn't call for the elimination of Israel. There's even a Muslim group called Abandon Harris for the exact same reason.

Kind of related: several 50-something C-list TV actors (they met doing the show "The State" in the 90s if you watched that, but also other stuff since) play music together and have a YouTube channel called "Middle Aged Dad Jam Band".

And they're actually good. If you watched Veronica Mars 20 years ago, you'll be shocked to learn that the vaguely creepy private detective Vinnie Van Lowe can sing the phone book. They have a video where they do a Billy Joel song and Weird Al sits in and plays accordion, as he does.

Trump in office is what they are violently opposed to. He represents a threat to their plans to turn this country into a marxist paradise where they rule over us forever and that just won't do.

It's not a coincidence that the latest assassin used the exact same phrase Biden, Harris and the rest of the left has been using about Trump since Joe had that satanic speech in PA, Trump is a threat to democracy. They know it incites the crazies and they keep saying it.

========

The polls they harp on as showing Trump potentially losing FL have him up more than what he won it in 2020.

He won it by 3.5. They harp on polls showing him with a 5 point lead.

FL has also had some massive, massive polling misses over the past few years. Yes, in particular the final polls. Rubio was slated to win by 5. He won by 16. That sort of thing.

DeSantis turned FL deep red, and all it took was firing Brenda Sykes from Broward County elections.

======

"Presently, the "shall place his signature" language in paragraph 3050 (a.4)(3) is equally clear and unambiguous, and the interests it serves are evident from the statute itself: the Board must compare the signature on the outer envelope with the one on the elector's registration form to assess whether it is genuine and executed by the same person who signed the affidavit. Only then is the board permitted to count the ballot."

They also have to do signature verification.

But Katie Hobbs "did" "signature" "verification" in 2022 to such a bad degree in AZ that a fed court ruled her guidance on it unlawful...10 months after the election.

303 Kind of related: several 50-something C-list TV actors (they met doing the show "The State" in the 90s if you watched that, but also other stuff since) play music together and have a YouTube channel called "Middle Aged Dad Jam Band".

And they're actually good. If you watched Veronica Mars 20 years ago, you'll be shocked to learn that the vaguely creepy private detective Vinnie Van Lowe can sing the phone book. They have a video where they do a Billy Joel song and Weird Al sits in and plays accordion, as he does.

Hard to believe the Chantays once performed "Pipeline" on Welk's show.

311 AZ in '22 demonstrated - for those of low IQ or not paying attention - why mail-ins are the least secure, and actually irreparably insecure, as a voting method. Human checkers were video'd zipping through files so fast that no verification was possibly being done.

Of course in '20 in Clark County NV (the least discussed most outlandishly crooked locale in that cycle) they simply switched off the automated signature recognition machines (tuned fidelity way down, which vendor says = switching them off). In a county where 10s of thousands of mailed out ballots were stacked up in mail-rooms, on top of trash cans, etc, and a local TV reporter managed to get 5 out of 7 fraudulent mail-ins counted (yes).

312 >>The polls they harp on as showing Trump potentially losing FL have him up more than what he won it in 2020.

The Selzer poll of Iowa came out the other day showing Harris down a few points. At the same time in 2020 the poll had Trump and Biden tied.

Then she did a poll just before the election and Trump was up by 7. He won by I believe 8.

The head of the Florida branch of the FBI had to scrub a bunch of hateful anti-Trump stuff from social media before he was appointed, so no, keep his ass out of it and tell everybody why.

Somalia's average IQ is 68, so they got that going for them, compared to those voodooing Haitians.

She did have beautiful skin and a pretty face. Didn't know she'd porked out.

She gains weight in the hips so it was hidden under her tusker raider costume for a while, but she is past the point of being able to hide it now.

324 229 Weirdly, I still remember my Cyrillic alphabet from *mumble* years ago in High school.

i normally write as block capitals, thanks to an run-in with a trs-80 model i (couldn't do lower case) in my formative years.

when i was studying russian, i spent quite a bit of time practicing so my handwriting would be nice.

problem i have now is that if i'm writing cursive in english and my attention wanders, it starts coming out in cyrillic.

I think it was him, but who knows. Everyone's uncle can do a Jackie Mason impression. I know I can.

but he was Krusty's estranged father in The Simpsons.

Belgium was the part of the Netherlands that could not escape Spain and break away and form its own swamp country.

Of course once they were broken off from Spain or Austria or France (all of which grabbed it from time to time) they found that the left half didn't like the right half very much and trouble started.
