Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump just deleted every single press-release he made as a candidate. [View all]
http://gizmodo.com/president-trump-deletes-every-old-press-release-but-th-1795042808Yesterday, journalists discovered that the Trump regime had deleted the presidents infamous press release from 2015 that called for a ban on all Muslims traveling to the United States. But it wasnt just the Muslim ban. Every single press release from before January 1, 2017 has been erased from donaldjtrump.com. Thankfully, the internet never forgets.
As Russ Kick from the website Memory Hole notes, every Trump/Pence 2016 campaign press release that was deleted this week has been backed up by the Internet Archives Wayback Machine. Its almost impossible to completely erase something from the internet these daysfor better and for worse.
...
For instance, you can still read Trumps original December 7, 2015 press release that starts with the unambiguous call to ban all Muslims from entering the US:
...
"When we win on November 8th, and elect a Republican Congress, we will be able to immediately repeal and replace Obamacare. I will ask Congress to convene a special session."
...
Theres also Donald J. Trumps New Deal For Black America, which includes his 10-point plan for urban renewal. Number three would be especially interesting for anyone whos paid attention to the track record of Trumps Attorney General Jeff Sessions:
3. Equal Justice Under the Law. We will apply the law fairly, equally and without prejudice. There will be only one set of rules not a two-tiered system of justice. Equal justice also means the same rules for Wall Street.
...
And how about Trumps April 5, 2016 press release with his repeated promise to get Mexico to pay for a wall at the US-Mexico border?
...
And dont forget Trumps October 18, 2016 press release promising to propose a Constitutional Amendment to set up term limits on members of Congress. We havent heard about that one in quite a while.

I know, I was playing along, linking to it. That's the concern why they mirror their site in Canada.

This is a stronger indication of fRump's imminent demise than any news report.
