REALCLEARINVESTIGATIONS: Bolton’s Memoir Undercuts Hype as Impeachment’s Would-Be Star Witness. “t is easy to forget why Bolton was initially cast as a savior figure in January by those hoping to remove Trump by impeachment. When news of his memoir emerged, 10 days after the Senate trial began, Democrats had failed to prove their case. Not a single witness in the House impeachment hearings had provided direct evidence of a quid pro quo.”

Impeachment. That seems like a decade ago now.

SEGREGATION NOW, SEGREGATION TOMORROW, SEGREGATION FOREVER: Biden Voted to Protect Segregated Private Schools’ Tax-Exempt Status. “Biden’s vote is one of multiple instances in which the then-senator actively opposed federal school desegregation efforts in the 1970s and 1980s, a position that has raised problems for him at a time when the Democratic Party is grappling with unrest over historical racial inequalities. During the Democratic primary, Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.), now a prospective vice-presidential candidate, took aim at Biden’s history on busing and called his work with pro-segregation senators ‘hurtful.’ And while black southern voters helped propel Biden to the nomination, that support could be upended by the protest movement for racial justice sweeping the nation.”

Hey, they memory-holed #MeToo for Biden, so this is just another crap sandwich they’ll eat to keep the old guy going.

TWITTER PERMANENTLY BANS PRO-TRUMP MEME CREATOR CARPE DONKTUM FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT:

Following the suspension, Carpe Donktum issued a statement addressing the suspension, noting that he received a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown order of the video the president tweeted.

“Twitter has not provided me with any avenue to get my account back, so I assume they intend this to be final and permanent,” he wrote. “I have ALWAYS complied with DMCA takedown rules, and I have submitted counterclaims when necessary, but I have NEVER uploaded content that has been removed.”

If copyright infringement is an actual banning issue for Twitter, there will be very few users left online there.
