Mike Cernovich Alleges That Two "Journalists" At Allegedly Conservative-Leaning Outlets Wore Wires Supplied to Them by the FBI to Entrap Pro-Trump Journalists in Russiagate Sting

I don't know how much credence to put into this allegation -- Cernovich has already deleted the tweet.

But this is a screenshot:

I don't know how Cerno would know that -- FOIA, maybe?

While that tweet is deleted, this one, from last night, remains:

lol! Jerry is on Twitter but he’s not denying this because I’ll get his ass under oath so fast if he tries to clap back with lies.

Jerry Dunleavy is a literal FBI snitch who spies on conservatives and we can meet in court under oath if he wants to play that game. https://t.co/tsTwrCDP31 pic.twitter.com/xqecqlrRiw

Jerry Dunleavy has since responded:

An impressive number of falsehoods about me packed into 280 characters. And just like that, Cernovich makes the move from the muted list to the blocked list. pic.twitter.com/LNLIUF2CBt

47 I had to urban dictionary clap back:

"A dumb-assed replacement phrase for the word-phrase "comeback", which, in normal people English, means "retort".

It makes no sense since "clap" is a word that doesn't represent anything having to do with the meaning of the intention behind the phrase, and meaning something completely different.

In fact, you could replace the verb aspect of this word-phrase with almost any verb, such as:

Fartback
Pushback
Suckback
Blowback
Pickleback
Sayback

and the dumb-assedness of the phrase stays the same."

I love Urban Dictionary.

Posted by: ace at July 01, 2020 05:12 PM (PbpT7)

49 I dunno. I'm 50/50 on this one.

Would the FBI want to wire up spies to go look in to *anything* pro-Trump? Sure, of course. But would they, and use technical "journalists" to do it? That strikes me as high-risk and the reward was probably dubious.

We know from the FISA abuse scandal (what little of it has been disclosed) that they had other methods. While deal with messy wires on "journalists" - however on-board they are - when they're wiretapping everyone's comms anyway? I have no doubt they wiretapped everyone they could think of, from phone to email to fax. They can do this by throwing a (virtual) switch, and I have full confidence that they did so.

So what would sending bugged "journalists" into a meeting accomplish?

54 Question: Can Twitter, if given some legal compulsion such as from a federal agency, delete a tweet on its own recognizance?

Just spit-balling, but say the FBI or CIA or something reports that there is an ongoing legal matter, and they have a warrant or some other paper signed by a judge (like Sullivan) that compels Twitter to take down the tweet. Would it look any different than Cernovich deleting it... and possibly shadowbanning or other skullduggery to keep it further tamped down?

At Center for Sustainable Economy, we work with partners to accelerate the transition to a sustainable and just society. We believe that an economy based on renewable energy, public transit, thriving native ecosystems, local business and cultural diversity is one that delivers genuine progress for all. The transition we seek is long overdue, and won't come from a handful of experts talking to a handful of decision makers. Instead, we believe that the systemic changes we seek must evolve naturally from an engaged and informed electorate, conscientious consumers, businesses that have community wellbeing as a core value, politicians who are willing to be bold, and strong social movements.

ZZZZZ...

And today, on Twitter:

We are extremely disappointed to announce that yesterday evening Center for Sustainable Economy failed to recognize our union, and has instead opted to hire a notorious union-busting law firm, Bullard Law, to represent them through these negotiations.

88 "Spill tea"

What does that mean? I have never heard it before except in reference to having an accident with a morning beverage.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 01, 202

It means gossip, or the details.

89 My bit has always been adopting internet slang from five years ago because I think that's a funny thing to do. Like in 2025 it will be pretty funny to say "don't clap back at me or I'll spill your tea so hard, bro".

I don't know where "spill tea" comes from. It's either black or gay or both. but now all the cvck-types are saying it.

As a parent of teenagers, this has been a saying among them since late last school year, at least. It seems to have made the crossover (!) from the drag/black gay world at some point, via some boy who wears makeup on youtube, I think.

97 I disdain all post Millennium new words. When did we decide that "a minute" means a really long time? I must have missed that day.

btw, pickle back is a real term. It means taking a shot of whiskey and then drinking some pickle juice. I tried it for the hell of it and it was ok. If you really don't like whiskey I can see doing it a couple of times at a bar. But if you try it at home and think about it, it is pretty freaking disgusting.

That's generally true through the year, but even young people agree that music today is utter crap compared to what it was in the past. That claim is finally true

i think blowing your wad is actually NOT dirty, or wasn't dirty, but now is.

I think it originally meant firing all guns, including the wad (the cotton) in the cannon.

But "blow my wad" then came to mean, well, "come."

And wad now means come.

So an expression which wasn't at all dirty is now filthy.

I know in the generic sense, it's an annoying term, but people who work in settings that can bring about some real as real secondary trauma, it's a technical term for basically, do what you need to leave all that at the office, because if you bring it home with you, bad things will happen over time.

358 When I was about 11 my sister had a boyfriend whom I quite liked but he could be kind of crude. So at one point I was making little houses for stray cats and I referred to them as "cat houses. " I never used that term again after he broke into peals of laughter and explained what a "cat house" was. I remember being rather hurt that he would make fun of my earnest endeavor for felines

359 Giv'em the hole nine yards... Heard this came from WWII,

I think regular small dump trucks (not the ones that are as long as a semi) hold nine yards of dirt. 'Yards' is the abbreviation for cubic yards.

364 Actually "shooting your wad" was a lot like "going
off half cocked" - it's a misfire. As you say, ball, wad and powder;
an inexperienced or clumsy man with a muzzle loader could trip the
trigger after he got the wad and the powder tamped down, but hadn't put
the ball in yet, since it went in last.

Posted by: Tom Servo at July 01, 2020 05:56 PM (Kpl3J)

that makes sense. But it also came to mean to expend everything, I tried to reason it out once and only came up with the idea they ran out of ammo and were left with shooting their wads.
Idioms are funny in how they evolve. I agree with what you are saying btw, lock, stock, and barrel.

I still say "floundering" originated because people could not say "foundering" as the term meant nothing to them. But the dictionary today gives different meanings for the two words. Another one that bothers me is "Card Sharp" vs "Card Shark". I still think Card Shark was originally a malapropism, but today it is in the dictionary.

382 funny that BigGov thinks they can just order "A New Normal", instead of the "Actual Normal" process of debate across cultures and regions, moving slowly to something that over time becomes normal.

SCOTUS demanded a New Normal on the trans decision ... and media thinks they can drive The Narrative so hard, that BLM the terror group funded by Soros becomes the New Normal, accepted by all and funded by Woke Corps.

It is Orwellian NewSpeak or DoubleThink, not a real new normal (by executive fiat). Next thing you know they will overrule the voter on something as simple as marriage ... nah, SCOTUS wouldn't do that?

383 And yeah, half cocked comes from old style flint lock pistols, you could pull the hammer back half way, opening the frizzen pan, add powder to it, so it could make a spark, then pull back all the way to ready the trigger. Bad mechanics or a slip up could make the pistol go off at "half cock" which was far before you were ready to fire.

Later pistols also had the half cock position for various mechanical reasons such as loading a round, but that was usually single-action pistols. It acted as a sort of safety, where the trigger wouldn't pull if everything was working properly.

Its a gender neutral term for sweetheart so you don't have to say boy or girl. Also seems to be a subclass of sweetheart, someone dear to you but not quite a keeper.
