Hunh. It’s almost like those videos violated a private corporations terms of service so they responded as per their stated policy. 

Guess YouTube “decided”.

So the two weeks in the penalty box is also warranted?

yes.

everyone has had plenty of warning about spreading false information - namely that the election was stolen and/or contained large amounts of fraud.

..

Do we need to re-litigate this?

Love the team effort on replying on others behalfs but twas a question. I didnt watch Trump's speech but prolly nothing but russian propaganda.

If that’s what YouTube wants than that’s fine with me. It’s their property.

For the “Only the best people” file, a Trump administration employee, while still working for the State Department, allegedly attacked cops with one of their riot shields on Jan. 6.

I can't read it.  Not that I won't read from those sites, but because the thought of those 4 being around forever gives me heartburn.

Oh I know.  I tipped back a beer when Rush died.  It's their legacy I want to die.  

I will probably read it later when I have time.

Wait, I thought Russiagate was BS.  Are you on Team Maddow now Tungsten?  ;)

Garland is now the man so let's see if he starts putting the squeeze on Maxwell.  I would love to see what falls out of that tree if someone starts shaking it.

"The FBI is facing new scrutiny for its 2018 background check of Brett Kavanaugh, the supreme court justice, after a lawmaker suggested that the investigation may have been “fake”.

Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democratic senator and former prosecutor who serves on the judiciary committee, is calling on the newly-confirmed attorney general, Merrick Garland, to help facilitate “proper oversight” by the Senate into questions about how thoroughly the FBI investigated Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing."

"Among the concerns listed in Whitehouse’s letter to Garland are allegations that some witnesses who wanted to share their accounts with the FBI could not find anyone at the bureau who would accept their testimony and that it had not assigned any individual to accept or gather evidence."

I remember hearing these stories at the time so I am sure there is some fire under the smoke.  Kavanaugh shouldn't have been nominated even without the sexual assault accusations.  His only qualifications were that he has the potential to live for decades and he shared the GOP ideology.
