SURPRISE SURPRISE: LOUSIE MENSCH DELETES HER TWEETS

[brettdale]

Louise Mensch has been deleting her tweets about indictments, they're all gone.

Her twitter is still up, but everything about sealed indictments and such is gone.

[brettdale]

1. So is she doing this for legal reasons

Or was she wrong.

[JHB]

8. Or does her twitter feed not fit your description?

I fully support not hanging breathlessly on her every post and tweet -- the only proof that it's not vapor ware is the actual product rollout, so to speak. And her being conservative is cause for even more caution.

But I don't get your stance, either. It borders on vendetta.

[JHB]

2. Cool story, bro

3. RUSSIAN HACKERS?

4. That's not what I'm seeing in her Twitter feed

This from 9 hrs ago

What are you seeing to draw a different conclusion?


On edit: save face, consider self delete...

23. Yes. She spoke of a particular group who has been organizing attacks to silence indy journalists

Appears the group has gone "rogue" in their group attacks

Killing the independent messenger is a pitiful thing to celebrate . And they aren't the only ones to be silenced.

Why just this morning there is this:

Threats, arrests & choosing Russian Press over US Press.

All pledge loyalty to the diktator.

7. Mensch does this a lot to clean up her timeline.

She's a prolific tweeter and retweets her blog posts many times a day. Later, she'll go back and start weeding out posts so people can focus on newer developments. I read her posts out of curiosity and maybe...... hope that it's all true but with a grain of salt.

[brettdale]

9. Ive gone to her twitter

Click on Tweets as usual and it looks like the dates are out of order.

It goes from a tweet from yesterday to one from april, then one from march then back to Janurary, then
another from march.


They seem to be out of date order??

[JHB]

10. Are you talking about her own tweets, or retweets...

...which show the time stamp of the original?

A screen shot of what you're talking about would be useful.

[brettdale]

11. clicked on tweets and Tweets and Replies

And it looks all over the place.

Perhaps its my twitter playing up?

[SticksnStones]

12. She retweets her older ones...it's like a K&R

[JHB]

13. How certain are you that this isn't how Twitter normally sorts tweets?

I don't notice anything fundamentally out of the ordinary, although the effect may be more pronounced as she retweets old stuff on, for example, Manchin, to bring it into her current feed.

[brettdale]

14. Makes sense

TCheers, thought I was going crazy for a second.

[JHB]

16. Cheers back. If I may make one suggestion though...

Perhaps you might want to consider editing the subject line of the OP from its current accusatory
"SURPRISE SURPRISE: LOUSIE MENSCH DELETES HER TWEETS"

to something more accurate, such as "Whoops! My mistake! I leapt to accusations over a technical point I misunderstood but someone who had literally never looked at Menche's twitter feed before (and can never spell her damn name right) diagnosed the error within mere minutes of my posting, and gosh, that just might undermine my efforts to urge skepticism of her claims".

OK, that's probably too long for a subject line, but you get the idea, right?

[Madam45for2923]

22. Yes, then you can edit your OP's title

[bettyellen]

47. And now that you understand the OP is bullshit you'll fix it- right?

[titaniumsalute]

15. Yeah well you don't take the most important part of your Twitter ever

and erase it to clean it up.

[octoberlib]

17. Um, the blog posts are still there. The 50 times she retweeted them are gone.

She's done this since I started following her and even announces it beforehand sometimes.

[mhw]

24. She does do this. You are right.

Also she''s been hit with more deniers lately.
Kept her twitter jammed with bs rather than her message.
As fast as news has moved the last week, she probably had to purge a bunch of tweets that came from accts she knows are nefarious.

Her sources are excellent with scooping that data.
Anyone who has followed her has seen the ref's to such.

Remember that her sources are global based.

20. Posts a lot of OPs about LM trying hard to discredit her

[OnDoutside]

30. Correct, it's a concerted effort to discredit her.

[Madam45for2923]

31. I wonder why? hmmm?

and look at my two posts below about the post on CNN International when the news of Trump leaking classified info to the Russians broke.

Poster tried to push that there were news saying that we had been punk'd and it was fake news when it wasn't. Provided no links. Not sure why they posted that. Again, I wonder why?

[OnDoutside]

34. I don't know but from before last weekend it was

raining down with anti LM threads and posts.

At the end of the day, she is attacking Trump and Republicans. Whether it is all true or false, as long as she is attacking Trump and the Republicans, all is OK.

[anneboleyn]

40. Definite effort to condemn Mensch and to label CNN as "fake news" when they are breaking

a TRUE story. Trump himself later said that he made the comments, and that it was okay for him as prez to do, so any doubts about it were silenced by his own admission. The moron Trump couldn't even hold the narrative.

The repeated anti-Mensch posts, which reached a fever pitch this past weekend, are just irritating as hell at this point. I find the extreme animosity towards her from these posters and identification of her as "fake news" or whatever (often disguised as extreme "concern" posts) to be just very weird for this website (have we been infiltrated? I seriously wonder at times).

The posts are offensive as they basically are "concern posts" suggesting that DUers are too dumb to interpret any sources on their own, and that Ms. Mensch in particular tweets FAKE NEWS and must be avoided or our little minds will be destroyed by her evil powers. Not to mention, of course, that we must disbelieve any of the information she presents.

It is ridiculous at this point.

[Madam45for2923]

41. Makes me think MORE that she must be unto something major to get these reactions.

Quoting you below:

Right on.

[bettyellen]

49. And more then one OP pushing Trump teams dwnials of the Russian scandals ...

It's not just LM, it's the whole scandal implicating DT.

[Madam45for2923]

19. If you don't like LM don't go to her twitter account. What happened to your CNN International OP?

About not being true that Trump had given intel to the Russians?

Where exactly did you see that? Any links?

[Madam45for2923]

21. CNN International reported it not being true that Trump had given intel to the Russians?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029068499

This one.

[Kingofalldems]

26. Aha! Now I get it.

[Madam45for2923]

27. Yes Kingofalldems I believe there is something there to get! LOL

Let's put 2 and 2 together.

[anneboleyn]

42. Exactly. SO tired of these "concern" posts-We can handle Mensch on our own. No babysitters

[bettyellen]

57. Interesting OP parroting RW bullshit. I had CNN on when that was posted and it said nothing of the

Kind- they immediately caught that the WH "denials" did not actually match the WaPo story and were so much bullshit. And now, here's more nonsense. Interesting.

[Madam45for2923]

58. It was supposedly International CNN!? LOL! - Interesting, right?

I think we can put 2 and 2 together.

[bigtree]

25. this thread is pathetic

...

[PubliusEnigma]

28. Obsession does not become you.

[tazkcmo]

29. So tired of trolls

Ignore.

[QC]

32. Agents of Goldstein did it. n/t

[BannonsLiver]

33. yesterday's NYT is a great example of what real reporting looks like

Ditto for the WaPo on Monday.

Louise's fan fiction is entertaining though. Quaint, in a way.

[mhw]

38. LM also links to wapo. And has scoped a few leads on her blog before US media reported it.

Independent journalists are as valuable as corporate.

I really don't get why the pile on against indy journo's who sources come from outside the US regulations, and have their blogs & twitter feeds to inform the dirty dealings of a tyrant llike Putin, operating "rogue" on a global scale, would be the target of such ire.

Yes she is aware of another with a twitter feed & FB page who is funded & organized by Steve Bannon, who asks its followers to degrade & denegrate en masse, the online accts of Louise, C Taylor & their followers.

Operating on the same method much like Bannon's Alt-Right, they have been encouaged to "pile on" and go rogue against anyone speaking out against Trump.

And that is why I will support Louise & Taylor & all those willing to take on Trump et al, in his desire to silence the free press.

Thank you

43. Trump and his minions go down in flames

and the trolls that support him fry as well.

[revmclaren]

44. I still have hundreds of screen shots

from the 'concerned' posters from the past. I know who they are and who they support.

Undie crappers brilliant.

One of the new species of trolls has been named Homoferus deplorabilis

Homoferus undiecrappus, a recently devolved troll species living in tiny, smelly groups in forum nests, characterized by a tendency to shit their shorts every time their supreme oligarch tweets "fake news."
