It makes so much sense though that it was attacked from within by the establishment because that happened to Occupy too.

I mean Occupy didn't need to be subverted, it would've imploded anyway because leftists always eat their own.

Very true. However one can notice that something odd went down with Occupy. It started off with your generic commies, hippies and idealists protesting, but midway in, a bunch of crazy rainbow haired feminists and lgbtbbq harpies straight out of a tumblr parody show up and start hollering about cishet white males and it quickly and conveniently deviates away from criticizing the rich and pointless bailouts, and they turn it into a social justice issue, and it all falls apart quite quickly soon after.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy pusher, but it honestly does feel like its something the rich purposely puppeteered to get the heat off them and onto right wing scapegoats and oppressor spooks, which is why it seems so many neocons act like de-fanged democrat puppies now and rich farts are now conveniently liberal or more so than before while sponsoring protest groups and new controversies to steer attention away from their own corruption. You hardly see classical communism-style hippieism among protests that would screech about all rich folk being corrupt and Hollywood being the new-age opium of the masses, instead they praise the rich for being on the right side of history and praise Hollywood for parroting all the liberal-approved opinions.

Alright, here comes the next "swing." Trump's putting out the order to start declassifying all the documentation around the FISA investigations. I always love it when the "next step" comes down so smoothly like that. It's kind of incredible just how organized and structured this pathway actually is, even if it looks so chaotic from the outside. I'd expect to see this sometime within the week, so don't be too surprised if you wake up tomorrow to a bunch of screaming journalists as they all panic to try and spin out cover stories over the weekend.

As was noted a couple pages back, a few days ago the Krassenstein brothers "voluntarily" deactivated their Twitter accounts, which raised a few eyebrows that there was something coming their way.

And it has.

S to spit on the grave.

Twitter has permanently banned prominent anti-Trump brothers Brian and Ed Krassenstein, alleging that two of the biggest stars of #Resistance Twitter had broken the site’s rules about operating fake accounts and purchasing fake interactions with their accounts.

“The Twitter Rules apply to everyone,” a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement. “Operating multiple fake accounts and purchasing account interactions are strictly prohibited. Engaging in these behaviors will result in permanent suspension from the service.”

The suspensions are a major loss for the Krassensteins, who had used their massive Twitter followers and ability to quickly respond to tweets from Donald Trump to make themselves internet celebrities. Ed Krassenstein had roughly 925,000 followers before he was banned, while Brian Krassenstein had more than 697,000.

The brothers appeared to be unusually good at getting attention on Twitter. While the Twitter statement doesn’t explain what the Krassensteins allegedly did to illicitly promote their accounts, “fake interactions” could engage buying bots to retweet their posts, or buying fake followers to inflate their profiles on the site.

In a statement to The Daily Beast, the Krassensteins denied breaking Twitter rules.

“Twitter claims that we manipulated our interactions through the purchase of fake accounts and fake interactions,” the Krassenstein brothers said. “We have never once acquired anything for the purpose of increasing our Twitter presence.”

The Krassensteins say they only operated secondary accounts on Twitter to monitor death threats, as well as accounts for their businesses.

“None of those accounts were ever used for manipulative purposes as Twitter claims,” the Krassensteins said in the statement.

As heroes of the anti-Trump resistance, the Krassensteins won admiration from liberals and anger from conservatives for their willingness to tweak Trump and his supporters online. The Krassenstein brothers even turned their online fandom into a book—featuring a shirtless, muscular Special Counsel Robert Mueller pursuing Trump.

Before turning to politics in 2017, the brothers saw their homes raided by federal agents investigating an alleged investment scheme. The Krassensteins were not charged.

The Oral History book actually goes into detail about how NBC censored the show during the Reagan years.

SNL was heavily micromanaged from the fall of 1980 (the infamous sixth season, when Lorne first quit the show) to around the 1986-1987 season (the second season into Lorne's return to the franchise, when Hartman and company joined the show) to be easy on Republicans. Because NBC wanted favorable relations with the Reagan administration and access to them.

NBC got away with it, because Lorne was gone and the show was in a state of ratings free fall until Ebersol came along and stopped the bleeding. So they could outright dictate content issues on SNL, because the show was no longer in a position where it had the ratings which would allow it to fight back against excessive executive meddling. Ebersol had no problem with downplaying the conservative bashing because he saw SNL as an apolitical institute as opposed to Lorne pushing buttons politically with satire. And while Reagan did appear under Ebersol, he was always treated as a straight man type figure and rarely made fun of.

This carried over to Lorne's first year. The 1985-1986 season was in the same vein as the Ebersol years (using established names and focus on young talent) but it flopped badly, to the point that NBC by that point said "fuck it" and gave Lorne free creative reign, which meant he could go after Reagan. But by this point, Reagan was out the door and outside of the Mastermind sketch, Lorne focused on making fun of Nancy with Jan Hooks.

Furthermore, since Lorne Michaels HATES the Ebersol years, he in general has restricted any Reagan centric sketches to the Mastermind sketch and further, only allows it to be aired in retrospectives in heavily edited form: cutting off EVERYTHING after the Girl Scout scene.

I loved every word of this post. Why? Because I was there when all this took place. Although I never realized the extent of SNL/Lorne/Ebersol era on the show, the skits and the talent. I was able to recognize that they made fun of Reagan but not in a mean spirited way. They made fun of him like they did all the Presidents following, like Clinton and George Jr. They gently poked them with a stick rather than try to behead them as they do with Trump now.

One of my favorite skits, in the history of SNL was the Reagan sketch where he seems like a dottering old man in front of the girl scouts (played by Phil Hartman), but as soon as they left the oval office, he became an Alpha Male, planning troop movements and missile attacks. Then Jimmy Stewart (played by Dana Carvey) stopped by and Reagan went back into "Dementia Man" mode. It was a riot.

I haven't watched SNL since around 2008. It just went over the line from being funny to turning into Sarah Silverman humor which is mean and not funny. Granted a few recent skits, here and there are funny (Kylo Ren on Undercover Boss was hilarious). But I only caught that on Youtube. I don't watch the show on TV anymore because it's simply not funny and it got way too political. It became more of the WH Correspondents Dinner rather than a comedy show. It was mean and unhealthy.

SNL are basically political commentators masquerading as comedians (although that seems to be the case of comedy in general these days). See below for Leslie Jones' "hilarious" skit this week...

Oh, burger, you're cute.

I can already foresee the #Resistance losing their shit and claiming that this is actually an evil plot by Adolf Trump and Putin to take over Twitter and gas innocent Resistance members.

One of the things that I find funny is that the only reason Uhura was even on the show was that Roddenberry wanted to bang Nichols. And did, for most of the show's run. Her character may have been significant to a lot of people but the motivation for putting her there wasn't inclusiveness and forward-thinking, it was Roddenberry keeping one of his side pieces handy.

Goes right along with their lionization of Hillary as a "great feminist icon", I guess.

Gene Rod was actually pretty impressively scummy, like selling off SFX footage that was needed for Season 3 through the shady company he made for selling company property run by the woman who organized the "grassroots" letter writing campaigns.
I'd still like to see some of the bigger claims come from a source that wasn't "Gene said", like any of the outraged claimed to have been directed at TOS. I've never seen a single vintage OP/ED or letter to the editor or even a weekly tv listing saying "Star Trek isn't on tonight because Kirk kisses a darkie".

So how much you want to bet that they will evade their bans afterwards? Speds like the Krassenstein brothers don't like getting told to 'shut up' so I think the chances are likely that they will set up new accounts under different usernames so that they can continue A-Logging the POTUS and shit.

I expect more stupidity from the Krassenstein brothers soon after this.

So what are the consequences in all of this? If the clear indication that Obama did something basely illegal?

 

[Flexo]

Jesus Christ I have to rewrite my entire concept of the Tea Party years when I wasn’t paying attention. I legit thought it was like Occupy but with wacky wimgnuts who thought Obama was a for real Somalian spy or something. It makes so much sense though that it was attacked from within by the establishment because that happened to Occupy too.

If you really want to make yourself paranoid, just think about how incredibly easy it is to discredit any movement you want nowadays with the simplest of efforts.

At least back then you had to drive somewhere and hold up a sign. Sure travel & print costs were very cheap at the time but it was a bit of effort. Nowadays? Just make yourself a facebook page, tag in a few of the things related to the group you want to hit, then declare how "Hitler was just misunderstood." There's a pretty good chance someone opposing the group will pick it up then and then spread it as "group is totes racist!"

I actually think we probably won't see a civil war because I fully expect within my lifetime to see things reach the point where there's never any actual conflict between any group but rather both sides hitting themselves in an effort to frame the other as bad. (it has begun in more ways than one) All hate will be fake.

Assuming we don't get around to killing all humans by then.

[Creep3r]

There's a lot of talk going around about this and what it means for Obama. Its hard to say at this point and I doubt it will end up as a scandal for him since this is a former president we're talking about, but if it does turn into something big for him, it'll hopefully make people realize that no one's above the law and it'll make people start questioning that politics aren't so black and white, but that's me being way too optimistic there.

 

[It's HK-47]

So what are the consequences in all of this? If the clear indication that Obama did something basely illegal?

That's a very good question because there's really no clear answer. It would take years to hash out all the intricacies of it because there's no precedent for anything like this. I couldn't even begin to speculate on what the actual 'end game' of this entire fiasco is going to be, but I would say that anyone expecting to see Obama thrown behind bars is being agonizingly optimistic. I expect some very serious repercussions for this, I expect quite a few people to wind up in jail, but I couldn't possibly imagine throwing the previous President into a jail cell would be something that would occur.

The civil unrest from that alone would be a nightmare, and if it were up to me I'd make certain that his Presidency went down as a stain on the history of the country in a way that the history books wouldn't ever forget, but for the sake of not kicking off some kind of "imprison the next guy" war, I'd go out of my way to try and keep him away from a cell if it was at all possible.
