The ONLY real source of TRUE Trump info is Twitter and a few others so maybe you should “give a rat’s ass”

So the Mediascum can’t be bothered to investigate or report on the actual promotion of violence and voter fraud uncovered in the vids, but they are eager churnalists when Media Matters provides them with info on Trump Foundation support of O’Keefe.

Yup, no bias there, media scumbags. The NEWS is what was revealed in the vids. The Trump Foundation support of Project Veritas is just trivial background noise.

Maybe it’s not just you:

RT @RT_com 7 minutes ago

URGENT: Spotify, Twitter among major sites to suffer outages due to possible DDOS attack

Notice that it is a tweet.

This is no accident, the users of Twitter and other social networks are turning on Hillary, it’s going to spiral and she has no way to stop it, they pulled the plug on these networks ...

You are showing ignorance. Twitter and Reddit have been valuable mechanisms for Wikileaks, Trump supporters, and many other ppl to exchange info on Hillary scandals, Project Veritas etc.

Of course it could be a technical issue. But a person has to to wonder.

BTW ... Russian navy is now out to sea heading to ‘dominate’ the Atlantic.

They’ve been examining internet cables on the sea bottom prior to this voyage.

Related?

Trump sure likes Twitter.

I wonder how much of it relies on inter-continental cables?

Russia had been examining them recently. Drudge linked to it yesterday.

O'Keefe has produced numerous videos that have attempted to take down members of the media, Democrats or progressives. He led the videos during the 2008 election of progressive group ACORN, attempted to show that Planned Parenthood sold aborted fetuses, and tried to show that a career employee at the Department of Agriculture, Shirley Sherrod, an African American, was racist.

Breitbart is the platform where O'Keefe's videos are posted. The former head of Breitbart, Steve Bannon, is the CEO of Trump's campaign.

Why do they insist that O'Keefe did those videos on planned parenthood. They were not the videos he did. The videos he did were having a girl claim she was a 15 Y.O. who had been impregnated by a 23 Y.O. male. He also did a video about being a donor that had racial overtones about it. He either wanted his donations to only be used for minority women, or vice versa, I just do not remember which it is now.

A donation, which is what they cite, is not the same as employing them. A side note NBC puts a disclaimer that they have not corroborated the video, yet still produce a hit piece nonetheless. I guess the firing of one person caught on tape, and a second resigning are irrelevant to them.

Lastly, Breitbart is not the platform where O'Keefe's videos are posted. They are merely another site that gives recognition to them. Where Steve Bannon was working before he started working for Trump means nothing. Especially given the realities that they ignore all connections to various organizations, political PACS, and the Democrat Party, and are summarily dismissed as big nothing burgers.

Twitter still alive here in The Peoples Republic of Connecticut.

Now if FR goes down then I’ll panic.

I see an opportunity there for those that refuse to not follow suit, and see their attempts at de-democratizing as a stupid mistake. Anytime you create limitations to the marketplace, the less clients you will be serving.

I was on Twitter this morning and everything is fine. It’s down now and Wikileaks just dumped another file. Reddit, so far, is fine.

They are trying to dirty up O’Keefe .... and Breitbart & of course, the Trump campaign.

The “damage” is already done and more to come. The cat is out of the bag & it’s a ‘feral’ cat (if you’ve ever had to deal with one of those) .....

I’ve been hanging out on the Donald Trump subreddit the last two days (first time for me) .... a couple of things coming up for discussion a lot - the videos are changing minds, if people see them. Libs & Berniebots are switching to Trump. Trump’s debate performance (calm, presidential) vs Hillary’s is causing folks to switch from Stein to Trump. Hilly scared them to death with the nuclear stuff - they are convinced she will have us in a nuclear war. As one Lib put it: I am ‘for’ environmental causes, but there will be no “environment”, just a nuclear wasteland if Hilly is elected - people told me Trump was scary, but from what I saw, the ‘scary’ one was Hillary! The tide is turning - in time for Nov 8? I don’t know. Some of the Bernie folks now working for Trump are very enthusiastic - the Trump people are the happiest, most energetic, friendly folks & have taken them in with open arms ..... they are noticing the difference. Word has supposedly leaked out that the Bernie folks that have joined the Clinton campaign are very unhappy - the whole campaign is unhappy - fist fights in the halls (Aaron Black will probably want to sign them up) and people leaving. Take it all with a big grain of salt, but even without these anecdotes, whose campaign looks the most confident? Whose campaign looks the most desperate? I think the Dems are looking at bad internals while The Donalds are looking better. Nov. 8 - showdown time at the ok corral - let’s hope the “bad hombres” lose.
