Twitter Bans Notorious Bitfinex and Tether Critic Bitfinex'ed (thenextweb.com)
Twitter has officially suspended Bitfinex'ed -- a notorious internet sleuth who has long speculated that popular exchange desk Bitfinex has quietly been printing its dollar-pegged Tether digital tokens out of thin air, a move that could lead to the collapse of Bitcoin and perhaps even the entire market, The Next Web reports. From the report: In an email to TNW, Bitifinex'ed said that Twitter has yet to clarify the reasons for the suspension. "This account has been suspended," the message reads. It is worth noting that in addition to the claims made against Bitfinex and Tether, Bitfinex'ed has previously accused other well-known figures within the crypto-community of foul play. Indeed, earlier in January the anonymous investigator suggested Litecoin Charlie Lee might have engaged in insider trading during his time at Coinbase. Lee ultimately denied these claims. In the aftermath of this altercation, waves of Lee supporters took to Twitter to condemn the premises of the piece Bitfinex'ed authored.
Read the title slowly several times, and it sort of makes sense, clearly this is MIllennial SPeak. Maybe we can call it MISP.
Trump lost the popular vote
We don't actually conduct national elections based on the popular vote. That's so that the people in 48 other states in our republic aren't ruled by the dense urban populations in a couple of coastal counties. Which you know, but are trying to pretend you're too dumb to understand. Why? Who do you think you're communicating to or persuading when you try to pretend you don't understand the constitution or the structure of the republic and how we've been conducting elections for centuries?
Why are you complaining that progressives sound like Trump?
I'm just savoring the toxic, vitriolic, laughable hypocrisy on the part of the unhinged left. And just when you think the sting from losing the political power they want would have been fading a bit, they get even more insane. It's fantastic.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
You have to keep in mind that Google and Twitter (and other tech companies) are engaged in a culture war. They are not wise intermediaries taking a hands-off approach, they are actively meddling. Take a look at some of the internal memos coming out of Google.
Good-bye
These guys are great, providing video evidence of all sorts of unethical behavior by government/companies:

People have been fired/charged by their findings.
Yes, but those people are almost exclusively Progressives and Democrats so Project Veritas is Eeeeviiilll!!!1!! and are very likely Russian spies working for Trump. /s
Strat
Progressivism (aka US 'Liberalism'): Ideas so good they need a police/surveillance-state to enforce.
the US has an electoral college for historical reasons having to do with the representatives' travel time
And yet you can't admit out loud WHY travel time would matter. Why not simply get a tally of votes from all of the states and send them in to DC for a nation-wide count? Because we don't run the country like a PTA meeting. We're NOT, for very good reasons, a democracy. We're a republic of (now) 50 states and some associated territories. Just as we use the different structures of our bicameral legislature to prevent high-population members of the republic from lording it over the lower-population members, the electoral college is a structure that's explicitly designed to buffer the impact of a bunch of urbanites hundreds of miles or a continent away running the lives of the people in the middle who do things like grow their wheat for them.

i imagine he was a gaping asshole. crypto is filled with the worse sort of shit troll fuckweasles, and now some of them have money.
He said "all lives matter" or maybe provided evidence on the gender pay gap myth, etc.
Surely something similarly extremely controversial!
