Is this a Russian word? And do they play "Bingo" in Russia?

 

Twitter is, of course, a private, free service, and as far as I know, has their own ToS, where "the right to free speech" is not guaranteed. One would think a "Scholar" like Ted Cruz would understand this, but he's clearly just trying to out-trump Trump.

 

That said, the accusations of shadow banning have yet to be backed up, other than as a manifestation of Trump's Derangement Syndrome.

asking for proof like anybody is capable of providing internal twitter data is just chikdishsilly on a forum. 

i get your point about trump accusation. however  twitters explanation as well as what twit engineers on camera ,lawyers explanation to congress,says there is strong grounds for suspicion in current political atmosphere.   if you can't entertain that then oh well.

looks like fish smells like a fish but no hard evidence , yeah ok  lol

even the irs was targeting conservative groups(political atmosphere), this kinda of stuff is why Trump won and got you all into a tizzy?

your citation of the fake news item about the irs targeting conservative groups is somehow not surprising

[Jingthing]

To anyone with their head screwed on straight (excludes all complicit "trump" fans), the phrase "trump accuses" has as much (sorry -- LESS) credibility as a neighbor's unruly TODDLER accusing. He lies constantly. Face it -- he's a TROLL president.

"The controversy began in 2013 when an IRS official admitted the agency had been aggressively scrutinizing groups with names such as "Tea Party" and "Patriots." It later emerged that liberal groups had been targeted, too, although in smaller numbers."

But starting in 2010 there was a huge wave of right wing groups applying for tax exempt status thanks to new laws. The IRS looked for "tea party" and similar names as a quick way to get a handle on this activity. No one has ever show there was a political motivation for this despite repeated attempts by the right to tie this to the white house.

 

In fact, liberal groups were target, too. But not so many because not so many were created:

 

 

"A huge increase in workload, rather than deliberate targeting, led to "foolish mistakes" and the political discrimination in the Internal Revenue Service cited by an inspector general's report, the agency's outgoing commissioner said Friday.

The testimony by Steven Miller, who was forced to announce his resignation this week as acting IRS commissioner, came at the first congressional hearing on the matter that has put President Barack Obama's administration on the defensive.

Rep. Dave Camp, chairman of the Republican-led panel, and other GOP members sought to depict the controversy as indicative of government gone wild, with the IRS abusing conservative groups and other political foes of the administration."

https://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/17/politics/camp-irs-hearing/index.html

 

In fact, the whole program began with the Cincinatti office as attested to by its boss.

"The acting IRS commissioner initially blamed "rogue" agents in Cincinnati for the scandal. But the inspector general's report told a more complicated story of a bureaucratic process initiated by an inquiry from a Cincinnati employee, which involved some consultation with Washington-based employees of Lerner's division.

However, the specific IRS guidance to "be on the lookout" for all Tea Party groups applying was approved by "only first-line management in Cincinnati," the report found."

Let me guess. The guys ousted from the IRS now work for Tweeter. Or am I confused?

Nonsense, it has been clear quite a few times Fox is the main information source for Trump. May change though since they're not happy with his economic policies.

Let's get what Trump claimed straight. He didn't just say that the Obama administration was wiretapping or surveilling Trump tower. His claims were a lot more specific. But nice try at twisting the facts. Your posts are what you imagine the MSM to be.

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

As any President they have complete intel on anything and everything!

Many have to be either naive or blinded by  hatred,to think he doesn't know because he chooses not to go in detail.

From spy planes to cyberattacks to the private lives of foreign leaders, the president gets access to more confidential material than anyone else on the planet. Now, it’s all in Donald Trump’s hands.

Having access to information and making good use of it are to different matters. Considering the numerous times Trump incorporates "alternative facts" in his statements and addresses, seems like he's lacking on the latter.

Sad and incorrect.

 

You have been corrected already, but no response from you to that. As usual you're making false claims, and when corrected you refuse to acknowledge that.

There's also a difference between having access to information and actually accessing it.

He got what he got because of all the idiots voting for him. He won't keep it for long as he will be a convicted criminal. Something his idiot followers still can't grasp.

That story was written before Trump took office. The author assumed that Donald Trump would actually avail himself of this intelligence. Just because he can access it doesn't mean that he necessarily does.

As I said, you refuse to acknowledge your claims are not correct, even when presented with evidence. Reminds me of a very well known somebody, but cant think of the name now.
