Imagine Disney put their latest movie on the internet, then accused people for stealing it.
Now remember "the Russians hacked our server"? Then they refused to allow the police access to their server? Just take their word for it. Never mind that most of it was already on the internet.
Btw... The article above says the Republicans are also using the same technique to avoid campaign finance laws.
But the writer didn't know the secret url.
You can assume all the DC political elite are criminals, ( true ) or that part of the story is unsupported by any facts. ( probably true )
Me? Both. But I wonder why the Dems even bother to look for loopholes to get illegal campaign money. During the Bush, Clinton, & Obama years, literally hundreds of millions$ of illegal foreign bribes, mostly from OPEC countries, went into Bill & Barry's hands, and no one at Justice seemed concerned at all. ( All well documented )
And while you might say, "but now that the Donald is President..." I still haven't seen any prosecutions.
And I think most Americans want politicians thrown in prison.
Besides the obvious choice to arrest the owner of Twitter for promoting terrorism, we need to start asking Congresscritters if they support Antifa.
Twitter claims protection as a platform. Like Badweb, where Blake provides a place for me to speak but is not in any way responsible for my statements. ( although I may be banned if I violate the written rules for participation ) Blake in no way edits my comments.
But Twitter is no longer a platform. By choosing to ban content and users by it's own arbitrary and changing rules, because they are Jews, or Conservative, or tell the truth, they are publishers, responsible for the content carried by their service.
Badweb does not ban people for being Leftist Puppets. The lack of postings by Leftist Puppets is entirely a matter of cowardice and inability to defend a position.
Having an unashamed counter-revolutionary hijack a thread ( guilty ) asking about patriotism, by the simple tactic of taking the question at face value ( instead of the rhetorical device for insulting dishonesty intended ) shows that this is indeed a platform. The OP is more than welcome to contribute to their own thread. Their reasons not to can only be speculated about, and my opinion is they simply can't defend their thesis with facts, logic, or any descendants of the Socratic Method.
But I could be wrong.
And Twitter IS under great pressure from governments around the world to stop carrying terrorist groups instructions to commit violent crimes. So in effect, they are being ordered to act as Publisher and not Platform.
Much as I hate to defend Twitter, Truth is more important than any agenda I might have.
"More than a year ago, Van Spronsen was accused of attacking a police officer during an immigrants rally that turned violent outside the same detention center, some of it captured on cell phone video."
"I'm broken," English said, her voice breaking. "It's so, it's real. You know it's been real since Trump got elected."
You may not approve of all Israeli policies, or still be angry at the Liberty incidents. But the BDS movement is a Jew Hate ploy created by dictators and thieves. ( the Boss of the PLA is a perfect example of "one man, one vote, once" who never allowed another election after he won )
That Omar is furious that moderate Muslims are pressured to denounce Obedient Muslim terrorism is understandable. But her rage is directed at infidels ( us ) and not the terrorist groups she supports.
Otoh, she seems to have maintained a polyandry relationship for years, which is unusual and perhaps to be admired if you don't mind the tax crimes or alleged immigration crime. Don't see that every day & I know a few trios.
I understand, it is the same in Maryland. Most "stand your ground" states, you are allowed to protect valuables - repel a carjacker or a mugger, for example.
States like Maryland (where I am), you are only allowed to use deadly force to protect life and limb...and cash, oddly enough. Their rule is "if it can be insured and replaced, you can't do it". Cash...can't really be "insured" or easily "replaced" (prove you had $9500 in your pocket, sir), so they let it into the category of OK to defend.
Both of these, of course, are different than Castle Doctrine which is where you are allowed to use deadly force to repel home invaders, inside your own home/structure. There are loopholes/requirements like 'where was their weapon that you were afraid of' and 'why are all the holes in their backs'...but - at least for the moment - Maryland still allows us to protect our own homes from within, once the walls have been breached.
In Texas an intruder is considered in your home when any part of their body is inside, or anything they’re holding is inside. This includes the tool they’re using to pry at your door. An intruder in your home does not need to be armed or facing you when you shoot them.
Ratbuell, probably coincidence. After all, it's not like Democrat politicians have called for action against Republicans.... Um, I mean, I can't get into that.
Funny what results you get with a youtube search on "Democrats call for attacks on republicans". The censors & algorithms produce the exact opposite.
I grew up with Hoover running the FBI as an extortion racket with files on politicians. Later some of those files were lost, denied, then found in the White House residence. The late George Carlin joked he would answer his presumably tapped phone, "F%$# Hoover! Can I help you?"
I even have a book, "No Left Turns" a comedy autobiography of a young FBI agent with funny J.Edgar stories.
Then Hoover retired by dying, in the finest traditions of despots, and we were supposed to get a new, reformed FBI.
The gist of her article? Work hard. Personal responsibility. Belief in strong families. Proper child-rearing (i.e. mother/father/child families). Proper educational values. Do your part, show some restraint. All of that is tagged as "white bourgeois culture", and while none of it mentions race at all...she was flagged as racist, homophobic, and elitist.
The power of the Mob is frightening and the Mob is so easily manipulated.
Especially on social media... Aka companies owned by really rich men, who censor speech they deem harmful to their goals.
One person in a basement, or a team of hundreds in some warehouse in Eastern Europe, can create many fake accounts and become a fake movement online. You don't know if the posts are paid for by Vladimir Putin, Proctor & Gamble, Shell Energy, the Republican Party, or the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
It's amazing that Candidates can promise to destroy the system of checks and balances if they win, and still get votes instead of a lynch mob.
Leftists, of course have no respect for laws or morals, so calls to pack the courts to get decisions they like and eliminating the Electoral college so NY & CA can choose a Democrat President even if the rest of the nation votes against them, appeal to the brainwashed.
Imagine if Mitt Romney had promised to change the system so Republicans would forever win.
