Members DRW50 Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 Not that I approve of the banning but why are they using an official account for something like that anyway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) If only someone could ban Donald from using Twitter "until further notice." Okay, Interior Department and Nat'l Park Service folk. Now is the time to say "No". Duly noted. Nevertheless, I find it wrong. Particularly when I remember some of things that were said when Michelle chose to wear something off the rack. (Also, remember her obsession with all things Target? To hear some talk, you would have thought the woman was caught outside a crack house!) It's almost like Juan and Eva Peron, really. "Sure, we wear these fabulous, designer clothes that you could not possibly afford. But we do it for YOU. The common people."

Members Juliajms Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 I think that's exactly what it's like. I certainly agree that Michelle was never going to win with some people. Her looks were torn apart in ways that were just shameful. The racism and misogyny was rampant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 It happened to me too, also the VP and White House accounts. I even had notifications on the FLOTUS account 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 I was thinking of everyone here during the news coverage of Friday's events.

Members JONNYSBRO Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 We should rename this the liberal politics boards no conservative opinions are allowed. I think these protestors bashing windows and starting riots and settimg limo on fire make liberals make bad. Trump is still going to be prexy. I thought Melania looked gorgeous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 I've never been a big Twitter user but I deleted my account after Trump won. It's pretty obvious that the new regime considers Twitter its preferred propaganda tool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I've had the Furher blocked for sometime. Hopefully Twitter handled the situation with the accounts. So far, I have not had that problem. Besides, when you delete your Twitter account, you risk missing gems like this- Or this... I won't post the video of the neo-nazi Richard Spencer getting punched in the face but I will admit, I looked for it and enjoyed seeing it.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 ...and this embodies that fundamental difference between Obama and Trump, as human beings. Well, considering how Republicans rejected the Disability Bill that Bob Dole championed...and we all know how Trump feels about the disabled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 This is true but disingenuine. This march originated from Pantsuit Nation, the group started on Facebook to support Hillary Clinton and it was a place for women to share their stories, especially those being targeted. That evolved into A BLACK WOMAN from Ft. Lauderdale saying we should have a march. Then a few women got together, formed the committee and started organizing and guess what, not one WOC as part of the group. They got slammed and finally added a couple but I have to say it's disingenuous to an extent, only. BUt one of the original organizers is a Bernie supporter who has been on the defensive for weeks as women, men, finding it offensive that the woman who was the original inspiration for the group doesn't get recognized but the woman who was the first green party VP candidate does. THey are even using the phrase Hillary marked "Womens rights and human rights" as their call. I mean seriously. And the excuse was we didn't think the timing was right and no reconsideration. Much of the bickering again is being propagated by the extreme left "Bernie Bros", who themselves are sexist and racist. I doubt any of these people are going to be at any of the marches. Their rights are not in danger. But this is their goal. Chaos. But as a result, the women who know best about resistance, persecution, being targeted, black women have been turned off by the arrogance of saying the woman who inspired the group who herself suffered targeted harassment on the political stage like no other, who they supported, is not good enough to at least be recognized because of a few women at the top of the organization think adding her name to a god damn list would be divisive. What happened to marching and being inclusive like your talking about. This wasn't really intended to be a political march per say, but a show of unity. Yet even it seems we still have women, you know white women - the 53% of the population who voted for Trump, saying unity is important except when they don't think it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 21, 2017 Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks. I appreciate the insight. It sounds like the exact thing that leads so many to feel disillusioned. I know some here are going to the march and I respect them a great deal, but anything involving Bernie supporters always makes me wary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
