They did. The removed tweets were nude photos of Hunter Biden. But no one here bothered to verify that. This is all so stupid.

I find it extremely unlikely that nude photos / prostitutes / crack smoking of Trump’s kids would have been handled with such tact

  It's a bit different since Trump's kids were all political figures in his nepotistic administration

      It isn't, though. His daughter worked for him in the White House. His sons stumped for him. Hunter Biden has done neither.

  Did you miss [the part][1] in this revelation where “in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored”? Removing blatantly violating content isn’t controversial, nor is a member of the concerning party’s staff emailing Twitter asking for a prompt review.

  During the 2016 election I knew some people who shared nude photos of Melania Trump (taken consensually) on Facebook. These photos were swiftly taken down.

    There is a crucial difference between individuals sharing photos and blocking a news story from a legitimate news source

      Your post specifically mentioned nude photos. You did say "of Trump's kids", admittedly. But I don't see how that merits a difference here. What is the news story regarding photos of Hunter Biden? That he's naked like the rest of us under his clothes?

        I just find it difficult to believe that 4 weeks before the election if Donald Jr’s laptop was found with the same stuff, that the NYT and WAPO wouldn’t be obsessively analyzing it and posting about its “Russian Collusion”. Let the news come out and let everyone decide for themselves what the value is. Censoring it is the issue

        Okay then write that. I was responding to your point about nude photos.

  This is unfounded speculation presented as if it is evidence. Stop it.

They just removed 7 tweets or do you mean removed the story about a presidential candidate's ties to shady business deals in China and Ukraine, while in office as VP? What was and is "all so stupid" is this perception that it's all about Hunter, you know, your everyday broken down drug addict.

  You mean the supposed influence peddling referenced in emails that were dated in 2017? After Joe Biden was no longer in office?

  > removed the story about a presidential candidate's ties to shady business deals in China and Ukraine, while in office as VP It’s been years since the “Hunter Biden laptop” non story, and the vague unsubstantiated accusations are still flying. Zero work seems to have been done since then to substantiate any of the claims, which says a lot about how much those making them care that what they’re saying is true or accurate. The vague claims and conspiracy theories do the job just as well it seems. You’re right after all; the only reason anyone cares about the Hunter Biden laptop is because they think it will take down a different Biden. The problem is it actually doesn’t. Despite your innuendo, the shadiest thing that can be pointed out is vague notions of influence peddling, which has been effectively normalized after the last administration’s blatant and gratuitous influence peddling. It’s hard to get people fired up about something you’ve been claiming is totally cool and legal for the past 6 years. So no surprise that no one cares to hear about influence peddling and shady deals from the team that brought us Jared Kushner’s $2billion Saudi fund and Trump’s first impeachment. The laptop story is a dud. Republicans will spend years investigating it and find nothing. Maybe they’ll find something like an affair or a violation of IT policy and try to make it into a huge scandal, but after living through Whitewater and Benghazi, we all know the drill. They most recently tried it with Durham and that failed miserably. It’s a long tradition in Republican politics. The faster you get over and move past the laptop, the better (for you that is… the longer Republicans cry about this non issue, the better it is for Democrats politically, because only the most rabid partisan Republicans care about this at all).
