FLASHBACK -> Biden mocks Trump's ramp walk at West Point and claims he's stronger: "Look at how he steps and look at how I step. Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps. Come on." pic.twitter.com/U7CL0dBSQA
In comments captured by @KyleAlexStewart, Barry Loudermilk cited a golden eagle on the stairwell the man was filming. Per my own photo circa 2019, there is indeed a pretty cool golden eagle in that stairwell. pic.twitter.com/jBahEUvgiP
My website was down at the time so I wasn’t able to get a post up about it.
A few days ago I tweeted a link to an article about how Jamal Khashoggi was working to overthrow the Saudi government at the time of his death. This is a critical piece of information as people continue to portray him as someone who was killed just because he was critical of the Saudi Royal Family. He was much more than that.
I’m not justifying his murder, but plotting to overthrow the government is far different than just being a critic with a pen.
I tweeted this article link with the comment ‘Don’t cry for me jihadi.’ An obvious nod to “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina.”
Listeners began telling me they couldn’t see the tweet. I could, but they couldn’t. I had been shadow banned.
I retweeted the original to see if that would trick the system. It didn’t. Listeners posted screenshots of Twitter saying the post had been removed. I even tried a url shortener to no avail.
I finally screenshot the tweet, fully visible in my Twitter feed, so people could see what Twitter was shadow banning.
I still have access to the tweet on my profile. If you click the link you get this warning:
The link goes to an article in The Federalist Papers who quotes CNN. I assumed it may have been an algorithm blocking the word ‘jihadi’ but it might very well be an attempt to block access to The Federalist Papers’ website. Either way, it’s completely silly.
