Twitter Status Update


Still in GuanTwitterMo Bay for using a word and a context which various Blue Check conservatives have used literally dozens of times with no repercussions, including one Blue Check conservative --
-- who was a guest on Meet the Press this very day:
CHUCK TODD:   That progressive-versus-centrist rift could play a big role in 2020. My guests this morning, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio and the head of the Democratic National Committee, Tom Perez. Joining me for insight and analysis are Amy Walter, national editor of The Cook Political Report; Eddie Glaude, Jr., of Princeton University; Eliana Johnson, national political reporter for Politico; and Jonah Goldberg, senior editor at National Review. Welcome to Sunday. It's Meet the Press.
So yeah, I'm taking this personally. 

OTOH, Twitter is really just another corporate media platform and as such is free operate as arbitrarily and capriciously as the whims of its owners dictate. 

And to make things even more confusing, since Jonah Goldberg now occasionally says true things about Donald Trump, according to the most recent directive from Liberal High Command entitled "Never Trumpers Are Now Our Allies And Friends So Quit Asking Embarrassing Questions About What They Were Doing Before 2016" apparently Never Trumpers are now our allies and friends and I am supposed to stop asking embarrassing questions about their past.

Of course I have no intention of abiding by any directives from Liberal High Command until they put me on the payroll and/or explain to me (using very little words) the Big Strategy behind what appears to be a transparently stupid idea.  Until then, expect me to be in and out of the Hashtag Hoosegow because...





Behold, my Twitter Legal Defense Fund!

makes one consider the power runs on things like the,
- Free Press
- Exclusive political partisan
- Citizens United. major networks ability to call themselves "NEWS"
-partisan billionaire ownership of the free press who do not use it in the spirit of the free press.. Refuses to report on issues that tarnish their own interests and world views.

As one HR manager attempted to condition the employees in a union on behalf of his company.

"Know your station in life"...!!! He did not last very long and created more problems than he promised to squash and resolve for the company.

In the long run, the freedom of speech masters will fail when their freedoms are selective because they do not rely solely on the wealthy as their customers.

Trickle down free speech?
Give your free speech to the Citizens United wealthy and they will trickle down their speech on us. Even if we might have a more robust vocabulary.

It is the same ideology of superior race and political uber morality that erases the occurrence of a wealthy billionaire. A republican big donor who becomes a RNC finance chair. With all his promoting of morals of the party.
Elliot Broidy, bored with his marriage sanctity. His beloved children and family values of his family. Bored with his wife, is affluent enough to afford keeping a mistress. Get her (oops) pregnant. To keep things quiet and from shaming his family, (mostly getting scalped in divorce).
He paid his mistress well enough to have an abortion and murder that unborn blessing.

Does the Anti Abortion crowd shout and point never ending at him like Dr. Tiller? They are silent.
Ask any Pro lifer or Congressional Representative. If you ban abortion (over turning or restricting Roe V Wade).

"How will that stop or hold accountable anyone of wealth and power from doing what Elliot Broidy did??
Truth is, those without means will not have the professional medical care while those of little means (and no power for big connections) are subjected to the harshest punishment under a law while the above the law ones are not.

It is the Ayn Rand government.

Rough analogy for your "Gimp" punishment.
But you should have had power to abuse and fir the Twitter version of Comey and their investigation into you.
You have no Lindsey Graham or Jim Jordon loyal enough to your cause. mainly because you don't have the means to pay them and keep them on retainer.

Free expression, Free Speech is not really that complicated or tough.

Like 2nd Amendment, at what point does it threaten harm (real harm) to others and infringes on their freedoms.

As far as I can tell. Twitter and other social media have not inoculated themselves from Russian Bots.

If you had the means DG,
I am sure you could purchase a 6-4 SCOTUS decision to give you a freedom of speech carve out where not just "Gimp" is exclusively gifted the use to you, but much more. Like the right to speak out and discriminate like a individual cake baker'free hall pass to skip those restriction everyone else in business must abide.

I wonder? If Gimp is a banned word in use. Could I discuss on Twit how Moe, larry and Curly were each a "stooge"?

I got my amount permanently deleted due to a TERF brigade (and I used a potty word to describe Ann Coulter). They combed through old tweets lolong for things that would twig the algorithm, found enough that once the bise of a month I got suspended for longer and longer times until my account was deleted.
Why? Because to TERFs, a trans person having a voice is a threat.

Good morning, Mr. Glass.

As someone who stopped using Twitter ages ago, I don't know if this would work, but...have you tried reporting the people who've done the exact same things you keep getting in trouble over? Don't get snarky about it or anything, just "kindly inform" them of other people who are violating their standards...instead of just blogging about it here.

Have fun crawling through 500 yards of sh*t over at Shawshank.

Be seeing you.

"I'm taking this personally."

But it's just algorithms, and a simple one.

if (blueCheck) {
doNothing();
} else {
for (badWord: listOfBadWords) {
if (post.contains(badWord) {
twitterJail();
}
}
}

Would it help if I sent a virtual cake with a virtual file in it?

Thing is, it may be tough to find a cake baker who doesn't have some sort of extreme personally held religious beliefs. Which would harm him if he baked a cake with file for a Dirty F'ing Hippie of whom he received a Constitutional carve out from 5 Supremes so not in-dignify himself in the face of his God.

P.S.
Do not drop the virtual soap in the virtual Twitter jail. I'm sending soap on a rope . Just don't hang yourself with it.

Getting banned at Crooks& Liars taught me a clear lesson about which cohort has the thinnest skin and is the most powerful and, therefore, never allowed to be criticized.
