Oh, didn't know this was coming up:

From Dec. 2018 article:
"The Democratic National Committee announced Thursday that it will hold its first sanctioned debate in June 2019. There will be 12 Democratic primary debates, one a month from then on, skipping August 2019."

https://www.npr.org/2018/12/20/6786...dential-debate-in-july-just-6-months-from-now

That's just 3 months away in June, first Dem debate. I want to get this thing going, see them go at it.



Not really. His account is fine - https://twitter.com/DevinNunes

There have been times people thought that, there was one post in this thread, turned out they didn't have their Twitter Permissions set up correctly.

Some people that have been banned, it's just your basic rules violations. I think some do it on purpose, to get some clout. I do think it also bonds people, the ole, they're out to get us type of stuff. But most major Conservatives accounts are fine.

We will all see when the discovery requests bury their lawyers in defense. What about these adherance to Sharia Law takedowns? Twitter ban people not even in Pakistan? This is crazy stuff.

CAIR has ties to extremism, and jumps into this latest foray.
..
“We have to put a stop to it. We have to ask our TV networks to be responsible. We have to ask our social media platforms to be responsible. We have to ask our charities and philanthropic communities to be responsible and not allow these people to guide, to exploit freedom of speech, exploit non profit covers – these are hate groups, special interest groups with a very nefarious agenda and we have to take that activity back.”

So there you have it — CAIR has labeled any person or any group that dares expose jihad and criticizes Islam as “hate groups.”

They weren't actually banned, they were in America. I can find all kinds of Anti-Islam tweets, I literally posted one yesterday. 6:47 PM:

https://www.namepros.com/threads/the-nps-official-usa-political-thread.764342/page-1341#post-7153899

So Twitter is allowing tweets going after Muslim Congress woman. Trump was literally retweeting stuff yesterday from some obvious white nationalist types. Just go look at their accounts and see what they post.

The guy Trump retweeted yesterday, just go thru his photos/videos - https://twitter.com/vmbb12/media

 

[offthehandle]

From retweeting White Nationalist types to:

See this is selective. Neither of know these are white trash supremeists. Or did you just grab these? I dunno.

Nobody has a right to NOT be offended. Turn the channel.

This is who Trump was retweeting yesterday. Just go look. Again, all kinds of anti-Islam stuff on Twitter. Your post makes it seems like if you post something like that, you'll get banned. Not true. It's usually for some other things, those sites usually leave some stuff out.

I linked to one account in my last post. Here is some stuff from the other person he retweeted:

https://twitter.com/LonewolfnDuke/status/1107642223640875008

They're letting in thru. So no, Twitter isn't just banning people because you post anti-Islam/Muslim stuff. It's all over the place.

This is the stuff you can see from the guy he retweeted, again, right here - https://twitter.com/LonewolfnDuke/status/1107642223640875008

 

[JB Lions]

Just to add on. He's the President of the United States, supposed to rep everybody. He is a part of this anti-Muslim rhetoric, that we should fear them. Look at pic above, literally says, Islam is evil. Look at the 3 videos I posted earlier in 1 post, straight from him. This is dangerous stuff. We have millions of peaceful Muslims in America, living here, working here, American citizens. Some of these people come from some horrific circumstances, war-torn countries, murders, kidnappings, rapes, getting recruited into some terrorist groups, you name it. They come here and they have to deal with some of this crap.

If the truth of disgusting islamic radicals is exposed, it educates people and is disturbing. Until the past couple of years, I had no idea of the history of Islamic Slavery. That was never taught in my school, only about US Slavery as though history began in the USA and our textbooks were written to focus on the US.

Those poor women, that is beyond disgusting and I just ate dinner. Now I have indigestion. My fault for logging in now, I accept responsibility. I dont spend much time on Twitter, but never look at that sort of stuff. Do you think this should be banned? None of this should be banned based on free speech, just don’t look at it. Its like horror movies you don’t need to watch them.

I never said it should be banned. I don't think Trump should be retweeting stuff from these type of folks. They are straight up, anti-Muslim types, no debate. Ever. Especially after an incident like this. It just adds on the beware of Muslims stuff. Makes it harder for people living here, and elsewhere.

His behavior on twitter is ridiculous, I don’t disagree. He should limit it. The name calling is dumb.

Well, that Omar and Tlaib are both muslim activists and don’t help their cause with their behavior and bringing in values of CAIR/Moslembrotherhood/Hamas into Congress, they don’t respect that the US was founded as a Judeo-Christian system (no bible swearing in), and they are both Anti Semites and haters, they need to reigned in by other level headed Democrats before they destroy the party. Did you ever watch the entire Tlaib motherf&&&&er speech? “It’s the Palestinian in me”, she says. I thought she was an American, representing Americans, right? instead they want to remain in foreign identities and some dumb victimhood status. All this tribal thinking stinks. Its really ugly behavior.

It was just St. Patrick's Day. Do people get offended if a politician lives up that they're Irish? I thought they're American. Why are they celebrating St. Patrick's Day, go back to Ireland. You can celebrate both your ethnicity and your nationality. She got voted in.

 

[offthehandle]

The news media does not show this version. In fact it was ranked down so far I took all this time to find it. Its all about Palestine.

 

[GILSAN]

Why do people mispronounce things that they must have heard millions of times before
It is such a weird phenomenon
I was watching FaceTheNation, and an "expert" woman said Beh-Toe multiple times, eh = e in LET.
With a hard T. Not Baydo, not Beddo, not Beedo. Beh Toe
DAFUQ

I'm assuming you're talking about Robert O'Rourke
Robert in Spanish = Roberto
Diminutive for Roberto = Berto or Beto

So YES, Beh-Toe, would be the correct Spanish pronunciation for the "The song of the Cow" poet!

 

[offthehandle]

You are stretching this out. Nobody said they should go back to wherever they came from. I know she was voted in, question is does she represent the future? And the people in her district?

Tlaib has an identity issue, (read her story) since her mother conceived her over there and she was born in the USA. She is supposed to be assimilated into America. You’d think.

St. Patricks day doesnt celebrate anti UK stuff or bring in the “troubles” Protestant vs Catholic IRA stuff does it?. Unlike the moslem vs anti Israel stuff. I have never been to any Irish or German event ever in my life though thats my history supposedly. I was born North American. Period. No Identity problem. In fact I know next to nothing about either Countries traditions. My choice. No idea who the F@&k St. Patrick even was. Don’t care either. Maybe he wasn’t a saint? In fact I have no interest in any Saints, not a Sports fan either lol. New Orleans Saints, whatever.

 

[NameLlama]

I have never heard his name pronounced, so I assumed it was Beh-Toe as well. Unless somebody watches a lot of TV (rarely a good idea), they might not be familiar with the pronunciation.

And then, some people, even intelligent people, have trouble pronouncing words. Their tongues just want to say it the way they want to say it, like it's wired in their brains.

Hmmm, I hear him saying Beh-toe O-wark. Elmer Fuddish last name.

OK. So the rest of the media could just be running with a more casual pronunciation then, and Behtoe is more authentic

Doesn't mean she's stupid, yes
I don't watch any real TV, except big sports events occasionally, but I do still watch youtube clips....sometimes of TV shows. Just as bad.
Kind of TV replacement now
Funny to watch O'Rourke. He's a little annoying when he talks, as if everything he says is so groundbreaking and important..and moving his arms
hahahaha now I found another person, who is well-known, saying behtoe, . I thought I heard everyone say it the other ways before.

So reading more would make me focus on the more important things, not his manner

This Devin Nunes stuff is still Trending at #1, was wondering why. It seems his lawsuit is comedy galore. You can read it here - https://www.scribd.com/document/402297422/Nunes-Complaint-3-18-19

Some:
Nunes requested the court to order Twitter to reveal the identities of the anonymous accounts and to suspend @DevinNunesMom, @DevinCow, and Liz Mair.

"there’s an actual line in devin nunes’ lawsuit against twitter that claims twitter trolls “falsely accused Mr. Nunes of having ‘herp-face’”

-------
Republicans: Liberals are the biggest snowflakes ever
Devin Nunes: Hold my mom and my cow
andy lassner‏Verified account @andylassner 3h3 hours ago

People are going thru it, might read a little myself. Some copy and paste if I find anything:

"In this case, Twitter contributed materially to the illegal conduct of defamers Mair, Devin Nunes’ Mom and Devin Nunes’ cow."

"Nunes endured an orchestrated defamation campaign of stunning breadth and scope, one that no human being should ever have to bear and suffer in their whole life."

"Mair’s tweets about Nunes, for example, referred to the Congressman with disdain as “Dirty Devin"

"In her endless barrage of tweets, Devin Nunes’ Mom maliciously attacked every aspect of Nunes’ character, honesty, integrity, ethics and fitness to perform his duties as a United States Congressman."

"Like Devin Nunes’ Mom, Devin Nunes’ cow engaged a vicious defamation campaign against Nunes that lasted over a year. Devin Nunes’ cow has made, published and republished hundreds of false and defamatory statements of and concerning Nunes, including the following: Nunes is a “treasonous cowpoke”"

"Nunes requests the Court (a) to Order Twitter to reveal the names and contact information of the persons behind the accounts “Devin Nunes’ Mom”, “Devin Nunes’ cow”, “Fire Devin Nunes” and “Devin Nunes Grapes”

That's all direct copy and paste from his complaint. He's getting clowned on big time.

"To recap: Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, is suing Twitter because a fake cow was mean to him on the internet. (He's also suing the fake cow.)"

https://twitter.com/search?q="Devin Nunes"&src=tren&lang=en

The only way to top this off is if he succeeded in getting the identities revealed and we found out Devin Nunes’ Mom, is actually his mother. And she's been on Twitter all this time, going after her own son.

haha, this:

She knows what it’s like NOT being one of the 1%, that’s for sure. That’s a good thing.

Even if you don’t like her, you have to admit she’s bootstrapped a better career and improved her situation in life.

Bezos is everyone’s hero here is 1%, so is Bill Gates, Buffet, etc. Hollywood, Kardashians, etc. So thats a bad thing and they are bad now?

She is guaranteed never to be a Bartender again, but a Govt related job somewhere, probably a lobbyist like Paul Ryan I predict. I don’t see her $875,000 donations that her manager VC guy moved to another account and is under investigation either.

 

[enlytend]

Bezos is everyone’s hero here is 1%, so is Bill Gates, Buffet, etc. Hollywood, Kardashians, etc. So thats a bad thing and they are bad now?

Did I say that? Did I ever say that Bezos is my “hero???”

No. I did not.

My point was that many of our elected officials are wealthy and this seems to give some of them difficulty relating to or empathizing with the majority of those they were elected to represent. Her background adds balance and a different perspective.

I choose my words carefully. Don’t ASSume.

I believe that document represents her personal finances, not her campaign. What did or did not happen there is another matter. The investigation will figure it out.

We have yet to see a financial statement like that for POTUS. Or his tax returns. Just sayin’

BTW, just a non-judgemental observation: You seem to take a very "zero-sum" viewpoint of the world. If someone says that something is "good" (i.e. having input in government from someone who has an average income), you assume that they are implying something else (in this case, wealthy people) is "bad" If someone "gets" something, someone else must be "losing" something

Life is not a zero-sum game. IME.

RICH men give me lots of money, hell yeah I would be doing the bootstrap lie to being wealthy myself.
