Gab just banned Paul Nehlen for doxxing a rival in the alt right. Not a lot of places for Nehlen, who's also banned from Twitter, to go at this point.
Nehlen is also challenging Paul Ryan in the GOP primary, although now that he's alienated the last of his supporters in the alt right he's lost even that marginal base
Gab banned Nehlen for doxxing alt right troll "Ricky Vaughn" — a move that resulted in this HuffPost story today. Looks like Gab is reacting to that story, since the doxxing happened a few days ago. huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-wh…
Gab is supposed to be the ultimate free speech platform, but so far, Gab users seem mostly on board with the Nehlen banning. Amazing how fast he went from being a hero to a villain to that crowd.

The pro-Michael Flynn rally outside DC court includes this person dressed as a horse
The inflatable Trump rat — last seen at Jacob Wohl’s disastrous press conference — has made an appearance at the Flynn sentencing.
Bikers for Trump founder Chris Cox says he’s at the Flynn sentencing with his dog “Trigger” to protect the Flynn family from antifa. No actual protesters have shown up for Cox to face off with, though.

Looks like George Papadopoulos's wife forgot to switch accounts before posting. Quickly deleted this tweet.
Full context for this Twitter exchange: the apparent burner account tweet from Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos came in reply to her quote-tweeting another tweet praising her.
Worth noting that Papadopoulos got out of prison today and is set to appear with his wife at a conference in DC on Saturday.

The current topic at the right-wing American Priority Conference in DC: "Why you should subscribe to PewDiePie." Perhaps a dozen people are in the audience.
Question at the American Priority Conference's inexplicable PewDiePie panel: "Is PewDiePie dank?" Audience does not appear thrilled.
The PewDiePie panel is flailing. People are walking out. An elderly member of the audience has come on stage and claimed a mic in an attempt to redirect the conversation.

Va hilo en respuesta a este hilo:
De entrada, estoy de acuerdo con esta comparación que haces. Parto de una premisa: del mismo modo en que no existe consumo ético bajo el capitalismo, no existen relaciones románticas fuera del patriarcado.
Todos los modelos de relaciones amorosas, no importa que tan radicales sean, nacen de él y mueren en él. Si acaso, su máxima aspiración puede ser la de generar pequeñas oportunidades o rupturas para equilibrar la balanza. Pero tienen límites.

1. The #GOP damage control messaging trying to contain the fallout from Mr. Trump’s incitement and direct link to the #NAGAShooter and #MAGABombers is falling in the usual pattern. After their false flag theory fell apart they’ve moved along to their standard propaganda.
2. Mr. Trump desperately needs his people to be afraid of an immigrant invasion so he doubled down attacking the Central American refugees as if no mass murder based on his words took place. He also projected his guilt onto the media for correctly reporting his demonizing words.
3. If that weren’t enough, despite the reporting from @NPRinskeep that the refugee numbers were around 3,500 and most had accepted offers for asylum in Mexico as had the previous group of refugees, Mr. Trump is still deploying 5,500 federal service members.

So for the first time in quite a while a newcomer hashtag had top spot on the #Hamilton68 Dashboard -- #walkaway. We remembered seeing this hashtag in the past few weeks but didnt really know what it was or follow up on it. #infosec #opsec dashboard.securingdemocracy.org
The background story on this hashtag #walkaway is a little strange & the number of bots, trolls, & fake testimonial promoting this hashtag is even stranger. Here's an example of a completely fake tweet highlighted by @daveweigel #opsec #infosec
We decided to look retrospectively at our own reverse engineered #Hamilton68 data. This is a wordcloud of 22893 tweets from our main Hamilton68 troll subset going from June 24th until now & #walkaway takes the #1 spot. #infosec #opsec

This Republican control over all parts of our government defies comparison. On second thought, it feels like a Biblical punishment..Remember the 10 Plagues of Egypt?
#RepublicanPlague #CrimesAgainstHumanity #RiseUp
First, the waters of the land of Egypt were to be turned into blood....
The Clean Water Rule protected smaller bodies of water, like streams and wetlands, from discharges of all kinds of pollutants. But not anymore: #RepublicanPlague #CleanWaterAct
The EPA has delayed implementation for 2 years as the agency “clarifies” (read: eliminates)the rule.The decision is a clear gift to industrial polluters who loudly protested the reg in 2015 & GOP lawmakers who have falsely claimed the rule regulates “puddles on private property.” Large freighter ship spilled red and yellow toxic sludge into waterway. People in small boats float on the spill.

1. I remember when you angry #Trumpkins stormed into #Republican Party; called #Conservatives “cucks”, “leftists”, “Killary voters”, “libtards”. You idolized #Trump in a cultic way. You fraternized with alt right #racists. You winked at #sexism. ->

#ConservativeWithoutAParty
2. You said #Conservative principles didn’t really matter, though you really couldn’t tell us what #Conservatism means. Of course, your leader didn’t know either; his attempts to articulate it were painful. You mocked our efforts to explain. ->

#ConservativeWithoutAParty
3. #Trump wild swings of rhetoric, positions, moods didn’t bother any of you. Whatever Trump said last was best & most true, no matter the word salad in which it was presented. His blatant self-contradictions were obvious to all but to you. ->

1. You’ve probably seen articles like this today and, hopefully, you’re reading them — and not just for the joy of watching the #GOP squirm at a squeaking defeat in what should’ve been a GOP blowout. The reactions of the opposition are strategic clues. apple.news/AmbTmoZhNTRqtK…
2. Particularly, I want to draw your attention to this statement from Paul Ryan. Basically, he’s pointing out that because Lamb didn’t have a primary opponent, he was able to run as a more conservative Dem which allowed him to win a district DT won by 20 pts.
3. Let’s unpack that a little. Two things are implied here. One, they know that GOP (and their support of DT) is frowned on enough that there is willingness to vote Dem in red districts with palatable messaging (moderate, willingness to work in a bipartisan manner).
