Kanye West "Permanently Suspended" From Twitter After Posting Swastika Merged With Star of David

He also defended Balenciega and claimed that people were calling him antisemitic as code for calling him the n-word.

Avowed Nazi fanboy Kanye West was booted from Twitter again early Friday for "incitement to violence" after sharing a disturbing image of a swastika buried inside a Star of David.
The rapper -- now named Ye -- posted the disturbing image hours after he declared his love for Adolf Hitler and repeated anti-Semitic conspiracies in a deranged interview while wearing a black hood fully covering his face.
It also came after a tweetstorm in which he defended under-fire fashion house Balenciaga over its disturbing bondage-themed ads with young kids -- and dramatically claimed he once found NBA star Chris Paul in bed with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
In one disturbing message, Ye, 45, told his 32.2 million followers: "I'm starting to think anti-Semitic means" the N-word.

I know some people want Twitter to be an absolutely free-speech site but an absolutely free-speech site means "a haven for Naziism" and havens for Naziism get zero advertising and quickly see most non-Nazis flee. Elon Musk isn't looking to see his $45 billion purchase go down to $15 million so that Nazis have another site.

Nazis will never have a large site filled with normies like Twitter. They'll have small sites of committed free speech absolutists -- plus Nazis -- like Gab. If Twitter allows Nazis to fly their Nazi flags, Twitter becomes Gab over six months and they just have two small sites with very few normies on it.

I'm not saying only Nazis are on Gab. But I am saying you have to be a very ideologically committed free speech absolutist to decide you're fine being on a site with Nazis, and most normies are not ideologically-committed free speech absolutists. Most normies are on social media to trade TikToks about shuffle dancing and cats, for crying out loud.

In other Kanye news:

Kanye West had been angling to buy Parler, I guess as a platform from which to agitate for his election as a president who's not afraid to say appreciative things about Hitler.

That deal has now been scuttled, supposedly by both sides.

Parler released a statement: "Parler will continue to pursue future opportunities for growth and the evolution of the platform for our vibrant community."

I saw another clip from the Alex Jones interview. "Ye" thought it would be a funny skit to deliver "a perfect answer to the ADL" by saying he had brought Benjamin Netanyahu with him, and then taking out a bottle of Yoo-Hoo and pretending that is Netanyahu, supplying him with a high-pitched puppet voice.

Alex Jones looks at the camera with a "Help me" look and says "I'm in the Twilight Zone right now."

Kanye on Alex Jones: “We have the perfect answer to the ADL. We brought Netanyahu with us”.

Jones apparently tried to bail him out by insisting that Ye only liked the design/fashion choices of the Nazis, but Ye refused that off-ramp, insisting "I think there are a lotttttt of things I loooove about Hitler." Then he went back to his Netan-YooHoo puppet.

Ye: "There are a lot of things I looooove about Hitler. I alottttt of things."

He then brings back out the net and Yoo-hoo milk that he is pretending is Netanyahu. pic.twitter.com/2DhiQdxSO9
— Kassy Dillon (@KassyDillon) December 2, 2022

In fairness, I guess, he says he loves "the Zionists" in addition to loving Hitler.

Again, if you're being interviewed by Alex Jones, and he's the sane one, you've gone badly wrong.

I know people are going to say "This isn't news! Stop posting things that are not news!" but seriously, give it a rest. This is obviously news. The constant pressure to cover up for Trump is getting f***ing intolerable. Just like it's intolerable for NeverTrumpers to make every story a hit piece about Trump, it's also intolerable for Trump supporters to demand that everyone has to pretend that news isn't news to avoid collateral damage to Trump.

Maybe after 10 years, it might be wise to return to the public eye.

2) The Free Speech momentum that was building Twitter is now blunted by having to squelch this little turd.

That's two pretty big information war "gets" from one idiot with an already shot-to-hell reputation going on a little bit of an offensive.

So maybe the guy isn't "nuts", he's just psychopathically ambitious and getting paid to do it?

62 Celebrities are generally nuts. There are a few, FEW, who try and live a normal life.

Most are raging attention whores. Obviously.
Most have insane parents.
Most live in a self-imposed bubble.
Most have nothing but yes people surrounding them
telling them they are beautiful, smart, and interesting.
Most can do anything because of money. So they spend
their lives out of reality. Living without the
consequences of someone who doesn't have
influence.

They are not normal.

72 I watched the first half-hour of yesterday's AJ show so that I could see for myself what actually happened. Ye is stupid, as in low IQ. No matter what he chooses to believe, in any given week, he will understand it little, and will be unable to articulate it.

Timcast and Co. praised the Ye Trio as 'geniuses,' even right after they flounced their show. The only flash of 'genius' that Ye ever had was to copy the well-known business model of selling slave-labor-produced overpriced branded bling to bling-addicted suckers, who rejoice in stealing it and robbing each other for it.

The knock on Trump here is that he befriends some remarkably stupid people. This is not uncommon, but I can see where one would expect more from our leaders.

On an hourly basis I hear the most insane ravings from the people under my care, some of which is almost as crazy as Kanye's bleatings. He needs to be heavily medicated and restrained, and possibly involuntarily committed.

The guys I am responsible are all God's children, as is Kanye, despite the extremes their mental illnesses and histories cause them to reach.

90 Additionally, on the Trump angle, he may have honestly been trying to help out Kanye- who clearly needs a lot of help.

I'm not saying I think it was a great idea, and it likely hurt Trump, but I think Trump got played because he was TOO SOFT.

That may be good that Trump doesn't see every person only for what benefit they can have for him, but this hurt him.

(Incidentally, I think every politician in Washington is a sociopath who sees people only for how they can benefit them. Trump MAY not be the same. Maybe.)

For some reason, Kanye flipped from whatever he was doing before to full-blown "My Struggle".

It's like he has a persecution complex going on. What triggered it? Was it always there, and the masked slipped? Or was it a 180-degree turn with him basically going "F-you, War" after specific incidents?

The closest analogue I can think of right now is the melt-down Charlie Sheen had. They wrote him off Two-And-A-Half Men because he went toxic.

The first “politician” to come along and upend shit, do a lot of things we couldn’t get whatever flavor of the month candidates over the last twenty, thirty years to do, he accomplished.

It's fucked up. If you're a regular person going through this kind of thing, people around you will help. Not so, with the rich and famous. Everyone in your orbit is a toady and asskisser and just wants to ride your fame. So they don't have the balls to step up and tell you to fly right in the first place, and they profit in the immediate term from the attention your mental problems bring in our celebrity-obsessed society. Instead, they prod you into more and more outrageous behavior for those cameras.

That attention is sick as well. People love to watch another person in serious trouble, and suffering. It's a sadistic streak that goes right to the core of the human condition, and where you'd feel ashamed to watch with glee as a simple neighbor falls to pieces, the sterility of the screen and lens of the mass-media separates you from that and makes it feel fun.

149 Hi ace! Love you much my dude!
My objection to "news" about Kanye West has nothing to do with Trump. It's based solely on the fact that Kanye is a psycho. He's a product of the Hollyweird and hip hop culture. When he was making a gazillion dollars and spreading it around he was their sweetheart. When he went conservative curious and Christian curious they started to cancel him. His wife dumped him, kept his kids away from him, his "friends" started dumping him, and the media that sucked him daily started stabbiing at him. They ramped it into high gear because of a White Lives Matter shirt.
He has mental problems and the cancel crap is making it worse. He needs to get back on his meds and get help.
I just don't see how this man's mental deterioration is newsworthy. It's sad but sadly, not unusual in the celebrity world.

Posted by: Madamemayhem (uppity wench) at December 02, 2022 12:24 PM (Wy1BU)

150 In theory obviously twatter should block Nazis. The problem is that once you start blocking people based on ideology -- however odious that ideology is -- then that opens the door to blocking other ideologies. And we know where that will end up.

Plus, who is the final arbiter of what a "Nazi" is? If it was up to the sort of people who are the vast majority of twatter users and employees, then the definition would include us.

I really don't understand why all these social media sites don't just let anyone say what they want. If you don't want to hear from Nazis, then don't follow their tweets. Just the same as before social media when Nazis marched down Skokie. If porn can make up half the internet -- including some really nasty shit -- and society still survives, then we can also survive a few idiots on twatter screaming "Heil Hitler" to their 14 followers.

169 The job I just took at the end of October has me working 55 hours/week in a Group Home that is occupied by 6 violent male schizophrenics who are also diagnosed with many other mental illnesses.

On an hourly basis I hear the most insane ravings from the people under my care, some of which is almost as crazy as Kanye's bleatings. He needs to be heavily medicated and restrained, and possibly involuntarily committed.

The guys I am responsible are all God's children, as is Kanye, despite the extremes their mental illnesses and histories cause them to reach.

Kanye is just sad. And of course his predicament is being used by all sorts of assholes to bolster their particular political points of view. He needs help.

I really don't understand why all these social media sites don't just let anyone say what they want. If you don't want to hear from Nazis, then don't follow their tweets

This is the way the early internet worked. There were real NAZIs in various forums. People argued with them, made fun of them, and ignored them. The notion you can't be an odious person on the internet came pretty late...after 2008 I'm guessing.

Of course that being said, looking at Twitter and what he's trying to do I think Musk made the right choice.

Recently I've been arguing on Powerline, as I have often done elsewhere, against "meritocracy." It's a term our side slings around a lot, without recognizing just how hard it is to pick the right people. If you look at history, you see it's almost constant that really smart people get taken in by bozos; if you look at your own experience in work, or school, or whatever, it simply isn't the best who rise. Not consistently.

188 I do understand the commitment to "don't cancel people" principles. But defense lawyers don't have to take *every* client, either.
Posted by: ace

Intel and counter intel often rely on a technique known as dirtying people up. They set up photographers and their informant/agents to document the deed relying on speed and surprise to get their mark. The key is using human tendencies for guilt by association and that can be used as kompromat or purposefully causing the target to lose influence, power, etc.

MI5 and MI6 were masters of it, the KGB was also but dealt with a more forgiving West of pecadillos, and the CIA used the technique as well but was often sloppy at it. Ghislaine Maxwell was expert at photobombing herself with famous people at meetings for persuasion and possibly kompromat.

BTW, Ace, it is often very difficult to withdraw as an attorney from a case and very difficult for public defenders or those ordered to do it as a service (in some states) regardless of the client.

We talk a lot about solutions but it seems like we keep focusing on single-aspect solutions. That's not going to be the way. There's no political solution, not a solely political one anyway, and in no way a primarily political one (those efforts come later). We don't want to talk about a certain subject, though most of us know it's in the wings, but...well, there's more to cancer treatment than surgery.

No, we have a spiritual problem on top of everything else. And if we don't figure out how to proceed there the rest is just gestures.

The problem with this is it points to the Big Problem with Trump. He’s not very careful or detail oriented. So he gets in trouble.

I agree he was setup. But Trump continues his behavior of wanting to hang around celebrities and have kiss ups massage him instead of focusing. That’s why he’s my choice only if he’s on the November ballot. It will be hard enough to win with the Democrat vote harvesting when you are turning off increasingly large parts of the electorate.

238 A. How was Trump to know Kanye decided to jump off a cliff?

B. Trump is a dork but gives most people the benefit of the doubt.

C. The real retards here are those making a mountain out of a molehill because "optics" are the only thing that matters.

D. If you think DJ Trump, the guy who moved the US embassy in Israel to Jersusalem and paved the way for the Abraham Accords, follows Kanye West (see B. above), then you are "C."

Exactly. The primary benefit, if that is the right word, of the Kanye West insanity is it reinforces the glaringly obvious fact that most Republicans are cowards and idiots. Instead of saying "fuck you" when asked to denounce people, some of whom they do not even know exists, they bow and scrape.

I agree. But half of the internet is promoting racial hatred or at least trying to pit the races against each other, which is a form of racial hatred. So I don't see why we should be fixated on a tiny percentage of idiots in swastikas who nobody pays attention to, and who have zero control over our lives. There is a much bigger contingent out there pushing basically the same ideology (except with maybe the races reversed) and many of these assholes are elected officials with real power and control over our lives.

If we are gonna get rid of Nazis, then we should also get rid of poisonous racial and religious ideology like from the Squad. They are far more prominent and dangerous than a few idiots in Hitler mustaches. But they are going nowhere. But once we ban Nazis, the door is open for them to ban us. Indeed, they already are trying to do this.

325 I've seen it mentioned several places that West is bipolar. I think this is what is happening right now. Remember his little stunt with Taylor Swift several years back? He does crazy for a while, then straightens out and flies right for a while. (Although marrying a Kardashian is not what I would honestly call flying right.) Now, he seems to be swinging back into the manic stage. Sadly, there is no one to slap him silly and tell him to go back on his meds. He is surrounded by yes-men and enablers because that is what pays their bills.

Anti-Semitism is an integral part of low black culture. I ran into it fifty some years ago when I spent a summer working with poor black kids in Camden, NJ, and I've run across it a few times since. I have no explanation. I just know it's there. Sadly, West seems to be diving really deep into this pathetic aspect of lower class black culture. Personally, I'd guess that someone close to him belongs to the NoI and has his ear. 1/2

Everyone Martin satirizes in Bowfinger is sad, when you think about it. The crazy, stupid, successful actor that is being controlled by a cult. The stupid, good looking leading man that's never going to be a star. The over dedicated auteur actress who takes things way too seriously when she's only able to get a small part in a terrible movie.

345 With winter coming quickly, DU has some quick tips on keeping heating bills down the would make Jimmy Carter blush (between demands for Biden to nationalize energy production to stop greedy corporations from gouging the People)!

I just got my gas bill and it's really higher than last year. So what saves the most. I can turn the heat up to warm the house. Or I can use my little heater to warm the bedroom. Which is best?

I keep my thermostat at 62. I wear about 4 layers so 62 isn't really that bad.

I use space heaters if I'm going to be in one area mostly. I don't leave them on if I go to bed, or leave home. I'm not looking forward to getting my gas bill this month either.

No one should be using space heaters! They're inefficient, dangerous, and terrible for the planet!

Turn the thermostat to 65. Get a pillar candles from dollar store, and use an upside down clay pot elevated by rocks so the air pulls underneath. It gets hot and radiates heat after you blow out the candle before bed.

If you are too cold at nightPut your bed inside a tent and put a couple of blankets over the tent.

As always - the answer to bad speech is more speech.

If you had permissive social media organs instead of a cartel that bans real or perceived undesirable speech in lockstep, the voices of "Nazis" would be as dilute in social media as it is in real life - they're voices would be entirely drowned out.

Twitter could set an example, or not. Banning West is not setting that example.

Musk can't have it both ways - if, as he so proclaims, he believes censorship threatens civilization, then the continued functionality of the platform is secondary to its purpose in the present.

We do not have free speech in the US, or anywhere else, in the 21st century. If the point of Twitter is to make a profit for Elon Musk, then cool, fine. If the point of Twitter is to preserve a forum for free thought, then this is not the way to go. Just my $0.02, and that's about all I've got.

Yes. But as I said above, that will never happen. The banning will only go in one direction: ours. Indeed, they already used this playbook in banning Alex Jones. Yes, he was a nut who said some nutty things, but he wasn't poisonous or dangerous, and if you didn't want to listen to him you didn't have to. But we did nothing as he was cancelled. Of course it didn't stop there.

My point above is that once we open the door to banning Nazis -- however much they may deserve to be banned -- it will never end there. We will be the next "Nazis" that need to be banned. We know they are coming for us, right? I'm actually surprised I'm getting pushback on what I think should be a non-controversial position.

The problem comes in trying to keep the patient on his meds. My friend says it takes at least two or three attempts. The patient starts feeling better, and figures he doesn't need the med any more. Or the patient is addicted to the manic stage and will throw the meds away to experience the manic stage again.

I'm no psychologist myself, but I'd say West flushed his meds down the toilet.

We do not have free speech in the US, or anywhere else, in the 21st century. If the point of Twitter is to make a profit for Elon Musk, then cool, fine. If the point of Twitter is to preserve a forum for free thought, then this is not the way to go. Just my $0.02, and that's about all I've got.

I'm not the richest man on the planet or anything like that.

383 I'm not saying only Nazis are on Gab. But I am saying you have to be a very ideologically committed free speech absolutist to decide you're fine being on a site with Nazis, and most normies are not ideologically-committed free speech absolutists. Most normies are on social media to trade TikToks about shuffle dancing and cats, for crying out loud.

That's the thing about Normies. They don't care if the Nazis take over Gab. They don't care if the Commies take over Gab. They don't care if the WEF takes over Gab. As you say, they just want to watch TikToks.

So all you do is take over the platform. The Normies will complain, meekly, about the inconvenience of the interruption. But then, as long as you win the platform, and they can see their damn TikToks, they'll go along with it. They're actually a resource - because they'll bitch to preserve whatever status quo runs the platform, no matter how tyrannical - as long as the TikToks flow.

Short story long ... the opinion of the Normies does not amount to a pitcher of piss, in the grand scheme. Ignore the mewling of the Normies.

OK up to that one, lobster was not considered trash food in 1920. Not even in 1965. Nor 1865. Sorry. Maybe in Prussia in the 1600's where they thought tomatoes were poisonous and took growing space away from turnips.

Also. Peasant foods are in vogue now because meat is expensive and unaffordable to so many for daily meals. Partially from unending inflation, and partially from increased regulation bottlenecking production, slaughtering and sales.

452 no the normies will react when the Nazis keep calling them FILTHY JEWS which is what they do, It's not like the Nazis just form little discussion groups. They fucking attack everyone and especially Jews (or, "Jew-Lovers," of course).

Yes, they do. And what does that accomplish, on-line, with the Normies ?

It herds them. It's a daily topic here, all the outlandish speech and concepts that are now accepted. Why are they accepted ? Because that's how Normies work. Normies have no worldview, no bedrock principles. They just want to see their damn TikToks.

You can bombard the Normies with whatever you like. Do it long enough, loud enough - and they'll repeat it back to you as if they though of it themselves.

What you just described, with on-line Nazis, is what the Left has done for decades. Because it works. Trying to ban the practice, by another group, is a waste of time. And beneficial in the macro sense to the current status quo.

Posted by: Eeyore at December 02, 2022 12:14 PM (TgBWG)

First, black people aren't as conditioned as white people to watch what they say about race. Second, because the black community is constantly told that other races are the cause of their problems.

Why does "white supremacy" cause black men to beat up old Asians? Because there's always been that element of group-politics and setting one race against another. And to whatever extent that was lessening and people were at least trying to treat individuals on their own merits, CRT is explicitly about portraying every racial group as in a power conflict with every other racial group. Essentially, the evil sobs who think that "white supremacy" is actually a thing, constantly go on about how one racial group keeps another group down so soaking in that an "oppressed" person looks around and sees who's doing better in the world and both Jews and Asians do better than the average vanilla person.

James Mangold is a quality filmmaker, but the past couple of years have shown that if Disney brass pushes down on a filmmaker, no matter how established or powerful, the filmmaker will buckle. Zemeckis and Raimi are two key examples.

On the other hand, people keep pressuring me to not bring it up, AT ALL, as if it's the most damaging story ever and that Trump will crumble to pieces if people even hear the names Kanye West, Milo, and Nick Fuentes.

So which is it? If this story doesn't matter, then get this, IT ALSO DOESN'T MATTER. If it doesn't matter, then it does no harm if I post about it. You can say you're not interested, but who gives a fuck? There are a lot of stories people aren't interested in, but we don't have to hear this drumbeat of "STOP POSTING ABOUT THIS STORY THAT TOTALLY, TOTALLY DOESN'T MATTER."

I'm not even trying to ding trump. I didn't mention him once. This is not about his dinner. It's about someone going crazy.

The fact is all the non-"normal" factions I refer to exhibit "Nazi" behavior, including a predilection for virulent racism, mass slavery, murder, unrestrained sexual immorality, abuse of persons both physically and mentally, a political philosophy that seeks to meld private industry to the state and subjugate the rights of citizens that have differing views, seeks central control of all media and communications, antisemitism, anti-Christian, ad infinitum.

What, exactly, is the difference, again?

518 On Gab, there is a block feature, as well as mute.

I agree with the idea that bad speech should be countered with more speech, not restricted speech. And if one is not equipped to counter with more speech (that is not a strength of mine) then shut it down personally, not for all.

519 501...sorry, Ace. I didn't even realize it was you who wrote the comment. I get what you are saying. It's withering having to cover for yet another Trump gaffe, but Joe Biden has made and said and done 1,000 worse things, and we should sock it out during the primary season but then be united for 2024. This is my fear, that whomever emerges from the right for 2024 will not get the whole of the right behind him (or her). On the one hand, you'll have Lincoln Project jack offs trying to hurt Trump (or anyone in the GOP probably), and on the other hand you'll have Trumpists walk away from anyone else.

Clyburn and the DNC took out Bernie Sanders, but Bernie fell in line and there was no appreciable segment of the Left that "voted its conscience" in 2020 or worked against Dem candidates. We can't fall for this again.

I thought Gladiator was mainly a dumb movie (I'll take flak for that I'm sure), but the best line was something like "whatever comes out of those gates; we'll have a better chance of surviving if we stay together. Alone, we die."

Trump would have had two great terms and retired in triumph if not for having the entire government working against him -- if they'd simply done their jobs. Federal, and many state governments, are utterly corrupted and in a state of rebellion against the constitution.

I'm not sure any of this matters anymore. Looks like the world I knew is gone. It's not elections at this point, but how to survive in Mad Max world.

521 No Ace this is just another way for you to continue to try to link President Trump to Ye

Trump let Ye come because at one time they were friends and he felt Ye was very troubled and requested help.

Trump
Doesn’t disown friends because they are in need of help and optics are bad.

Like DeSantis , who is bought and sold and you can’t handle it. so you repeatedly try to disparage Trump

This seems like the obvious truth to me, too. I've known people with mental illness and they're far less organized, coherent (as in, able to speak in complete sentences instead of salad language) than what we're observing here. "Say super controversial things so that everyone is talking about you" isn't exactly Moriarty-level villainy, either.

541 Yeah, I'm actually fine with "free speech absolutism". Remember, these aren't real "Nazis", they're cosplay Nazis, they're cranks and whackos and a microscopic fraction of the actual population. And the best antiseptic for their crazy rants is the light of day. The very existence of "I hate Jews" has no value whatsoever when the people who say it aren't hidden in their own forum.

But sure, lets adopts the left's insanity that their "words" are actually violence. Just a reminder - anti semite rants like those from YE AREN'T violence.

A liberal can meet and defend literally anyone and never have to disavow, but a conservative meets with someone albeit a weirdo everyone including Ace clutches their pearls and now feels as though they themselves met with this obviously troubled man and that all the media snark is directed at them.

548 An irresistible watch-the-train-wreck post until the author incomprehensibly interjects: "The constant pressure to cover up for Trump is getting f***ing intolerable."

Trump is responsible for Kanye's "I looooooove Hitler"?

Trump is now an antisemite because out of the generosity of his very generous heart he was willing to meet with a troubled black celebrity?

Trump who is the best friend Israel ever had in the United States or anywhere? Trump who almost single-handed brought peace to the Middle East by siding 100% with Israel and 100% against the Palestinians?

Ace seems to have an almost Kanye-esque mental problem himself, a mental problem that Ace, also Kanye-like, has been in the depths of before. Can Ace please stop reminding me of his initial anti-Trump phase, back when he was siding with the cuck-brigade of Jonah Goldberg et al?

Now he is pretending that a person would have to defend Kanye to defend Trump. Talk about "F-ing intolerable."

Love you Ace. Would gladly have dinner with you to try to help you out of your current mental relapse. Just please don't hold it against me.

549 'I am saying you have to be a very ideologically committed free speech absolutist to decide you're fine being on a site with Nazis, and most normies are not ideologically-committed free speech"

I think I get that, it's just I'm surrounded by Marxists. And they're worse, 120 million murdered vs 9 million. It's just annoys me that they get a pass.

The Nazis were (properly) demonized by Left to the point that they 'll be shot in the face. Why couldn't the Right do the same with the Marxists?

Marxists should be living in terror, but when Right defeats then, we help them up off the matt and let them catch their breath. And all they gotta do is win once and it's game over - enslavement, starvation and gulugs for millions, for several generations if we're lucky. And even they overthrow the Marxist, there won't be any John Adams or Thomas Jefferson. That will all be erased and lost to human history. Reinvented from scratch

And the GOP treats it like they just lost another round of golf and may have to buy the Marxists drinks in the clubhouse. And I want to scream "they're going to literally murder you in the showers!" It's so infuriating.

550 "The constant pressure to cover up for Trump is getting f***ing intolerable"

I'm not seeing it. I'm sure I have a blind spot. But it's hard not to when you're constantly defending someone from attacks from the Left. I did it with Bush and with Patriot Act, I got into a bunker mentality where I didn't see the faults because I was so busy pushing back against another wave.

I know you guys like DeSantis, but there are influencers on other sites that are deceptive in their support for him, like Ed Driscoll, and so it makes Trump supporters like me skeptical of anyone who's disloyal. I know, we don't want to be cult following but that's tough at a time when we keep getting betrayed by people we trusted. The natural tendency is to turtle up and question things that are "off"

Posted by: Fen at December 02, 2022 08:39 PM (naHzv)

551 Like what the hell is the deal with Instapundit going out of their way to repair the reputation of NeverTrumper Jim Treacher while skipping the apology he should give so we can forgive him and move on. If you instead rub our nose in his filth every day, and then get upset by our disrespect? What else did you expect?

Sometimes I wonder if they hate and are trying to get him killed. You don't bring a traitor into camp and expect to find him alive the next morning.

If it's a contractual obligation they should tell us. Instead they hide. So now I think they're deceitful. They're up to something. They certainly don't give a fuck about us. Smells like controlled opposition.
So now I can't trust Instapundit as an information broker. What a waste of good reputation.

553 The last thing want Ace to do is sugarcoat Trump. He's influenced me on politics more than anything else. The Failure Theater and the Graceful Surrenders? I don't think I ever would have come to that realization on my own.

But I"m concerned about DeSabtis falling in with the Establishment. Another betrayal. Which would be last one for me, I'm at my limit.

You probably won't even see this, but I would like see a list of warning signs that would indicate he"s being turned by the Establishment. And what the Red Lines are that would result in you abandoning him.

I'm worried the goalposts will be moved around. I would feel better if they were in cement before the campaigns get rolling
