Schatz: The drumbeat below all of this has to be that the policy of the Trump Administration is to rip regular people off. They’re transferring wealth from regular working people, the elderly, students, the disabled and shoving it to the wealthiest individuals that have ever walked this planet.

⚠️ In response to Musk changing the X algorithm to deboost negative content, people asked Grok what is considered “negative” and were told:
• Criticism of the government
• Commentary about misinformation
• Suggestion the public is being manipulated
• Attacks against powerful people or institutions
• Criticism of the government
• Commentary about misinformation
• Suggestion the public is being manipulated
• Attacks against powerful people or institutions
![Answer
Under the new algorithm, posts by [redacted] could be considered too
negative might include those that express strong dissent against established narratives or institutions, or those that portray a very bleak or cynical view of societal or political outcomes. Here are some examples based on posts found on X:
• Posts that directly attack or insult powerful figures or institutions could be seen as too negative, especially if they suggest systemic manipulation or deceit. This includes posts that question official narratives or imply widespread misinformation by political influencers.
• Comments on the manipulation of public sentiment or the encouragement of negative social behaviors, like casual sadism or misinformation, would likely be viewed negatively under an algorithm designed to reduce the spread of content that could be seen as objectionable or divisive.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gvda6fem6r7selm4gzjjww4a/bafkreiapqtacqylbomifj7xltpfszng5mgohvobnovdjrutbytm5d655aq@jpeg)
![If X wants to limit reach for [redacted] negative posts, what are the top 5 examples of posts of hers that X considers negative?
Answer
X might consider limiting the reach of C posts based on the following examples, which could be perceived as negative or controversial:
1. Criticism of Government Actions: A post where she describes actions by the US and UK governments as
"unforgivable malfeasance" could be seen as highly critical and potentially inflammatory. This kind of statement might be flagged for its political nature and could be interpreted as negative by X's algorithms or moderation policies.
2. Commentary on Social Media Misinformation: Her post about people who downplayed the USS Liberty story while pushing another narrative suggests a critique of selective information dissemination. This could be viewed as negative if it's seen as promoting conspiracy theories or misinformation.
Accusations Against Public Figures: Mentioning Joel Kaplan's collaboration with the Israeli government to restrict criticism on social media platforms might be viewed negatively due to its accusatory tone towards individuals or entities. Such posts can be controversial and might trigger moderation for potentially spreading unverified claims.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gvda6fem6r7selm4gzjjww4a/bafkreictojvsrghhm3cju3cp5cbvxxd2uf4fqdayafta2xaflshdec5xnu@jpeg)

The odds that Trump is inaugurated on a Trump-branded Bible that is then marketed as the "Inauguration Edition" are probably about 50-50. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Column | Just the incoming president, hawking Bibles in an ad on Fox News
Donald Trump’s myriad side deals were odd as a candidate. They are downright bizarre — and disconcerting — as the incoming president.

Just to be clear the vaccine is good and effective, and lockdowns were necessary and should have been more strict imo. My point is that they'll get themselves sick and curse the left on their death beds because that's what they do.

COVID proved that doesn't matter, it happened during the trump admin and still somehow the left is blamed for lockdowns and they attribute the vaccine to the left. They will make any mental gymnastics to paint the left as bad and them as the poor oppressed masses because that's their world now
