Biden Voters Hold Boat Parade:
Rumors Of A Dead Concert To Accompany Boaters....
And in the death, as the last few corpses lay
Rotting on the slimy thoroughfare
The shutters lifted in inches
In temperance building high on poacher's hill
And red mutant eyes gaze down on hunger city
No more big wheels
Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of love-me avenue
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald, any day now
The year of the diamond dogs
Governor Kristi Noem Has Got It Going On!
Totalitarian Left Promises Purges And Punishment For All Trump Voters
By trying to name and shame Trump supporters, the ‘Trump Accountability Project’ betrays a preference for Soviet-style retribution over a commitment to basic decency.
If 2020 didn’t already feel enough of a Kafkaesque nightmare, the latest bit of depravity from the “hate has no home here” totalitarian left is a ghoulish scheme announced by three former Barack Obama and Pete Buttigieg staffers on Twitter last week called “The Trump Accountability Project.” Aspiring apparatchiks Emily Abrams, Michael Simon, and Hari Sevugan lauded the website whose stated mission is to “never forget those who furthered the Trump agenda.”
According to the now privatized site, whose internet archives were captured, anyone associated with the Trump administration, including those who elected him, staffed his government, funded him, endorsed him, worked in law firms for him, and who supported him in general, should be “held accountable.”
The site includes a comprehensive list of “known collaborators,” including U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, White House Chief of Staff Mike Meadows, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, campaign advisors Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon, and the 56 federal judges, including U.S. Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, appointed by President Trump. No one is spared: assistants, receptionists, stenographers, calligraphers—our diligent Comrades know how to name names.
The idea of punishing people who have supported Trump also surfaced among media types including Jake Tapper of CNN and Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post. All of them have called for at least social recriminations such as keeping the “guilty” from being able to support themselves and their families through paid employment.
So what exactly are these Trump deplorables going to be “held accountable” for? The reasons cited are the administration’s purported assault on democracy, separation of children from their families, encouragement of racism, and “the country’s failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Is this reasonable? Has the Trump administration, aided and abetted by its staff, supporters, donors, endorsers, and even independent judges, produced so horrific an environment that, even as we enter our glorious post-Trump One Party era, we should implement a program of purges and punishment?
The allegations regarding democracy are preposterous. The Democratic Party’s various policies and tactics since 2016 overwhelmingly surpass the most exaggerated allegations of Trump “authoritarianism,” and the left knows it.
Also questionable are factually selective cries about children being separated from...
TWITTER TESTING FEATURE TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR USERS TO ‘LIKE’ THINGS IT DOESN’T
Twitter has secretly begun testing a new feature designed to slow users down before they can ‘like’ a post, adding to a slew of new prompts and prods before people can interact on the platform.
The feature was first reported on Monday by Jane Manchun Wong, a Hong Kong-based software expert who reverse-engineers big tech apps to discover upcoming new features still in the development or testing phase.
On attempting to ‘like’ a given controversial or potentially misleading tweet, users with the feature are challenged to “help keep Twitter a place for reliable info,” and “find out more” before being allowed to ‘like’ said tweet.
The feature doesn’t prevent people liking a tweet – it merely slows them down.
If introduced on the wider platform, the feature would be yet another in an array of new features unveiled by the tech giant in recent weeks that are aimed at content de-amplification, ostensibly to encourage critical thinking before information is shared.
These include a new prompt encouraging users to actually click through and read an article before retweeting it, in a bid to prevent the spread of clickbait headlines and ‘fake news’ across social media. However, time and time again, this type of intervention by social media companies has been weaponized by partisans on both sides of the aisle, with accusations of fake news and misinformation being rife.
Weeks prior, on October 20, Twitter began prompting people to share quote tweets instead of simply retweeting, ramped up its efforts to label alleged misinformation, and confronted users with more aggressive warnings about tweets by political figures in the US in the lead-up to election day.
“This is an iterative process, and we’re continuing to explore features and policies to help people on Twitter make their own informed decisions,” they added.“Our goal is to give people the context and tools necessary to find credible information on our service – no matter the topic or where they are seeing the tweet,” a Twitter spokesperson said of the new features, confirming that the new ‘like’ button speed bump was...
Welcome To The Grand Illusion...
But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
Georgia Dems Start Runoff With Silicon Valley Fundraiser
Ossoff, Warnock turn to California liberals to flip Senate
Georgia Democratic Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock will attend a Monday night fundraiser with Silicon Valley progressives in an attempt to court deep-pocketed California donors.
The "Save the Senate" virtual event will be held by Manny's, a San Francisco-based restaurant that is "proudly located" in "a historic hub of activism and progressive action," according to its website. Owner Manny Yekutiel—who previously served as Silicon Valley fundraising director on Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign—advertised the fundraiser by stressing the importance of Georgia's upcoming January runoff elections. In a Friday Facebook post, Yekutiel said the races mark Democrats' "last hopes to save the Senate."
More than 3,000 people are expected to attend the event via Zoom, with Ossoff and Warnock set to call in at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time. Organizers also alluded to a "big fundraiser" for Ossoff and Warnock in California that will take place in mid-November.
Ossoff has relied on California donors throughout his bid to unseat Sen. David Perdue (R., Ga.). The Democrat raised $3.37 million from the Golden State in the third quarter, more than double the $1.64 million he raised from Georgians. Ossoff's failed 2017 congressional bid saw a similar dependency on out-of-state contributions—roughly 98 percent of the Democrat's campaign cash in the race's final two months came from outside of Georgia.
Out-of-state donors have also bankrolled Warnock's campaign against Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R., Ga.). Nearly 80 percent of the Democrat's funds have come from outside of Georgia, according to...
