So... is the Big F still into censorship? A comparison between a local alleged GOP candidate and a national democrat.

I wrote a post detailing the similarities between a local politician (alleged Republican) and a national level politician (definitively democrat).

It was, I thought, rather Shakespearean.

It was also accurate.  And there was nothing threatening or harassing about it.

Facebook, which has not stopped me from any other posting, nor have they taken the original post down from Opinions of Southwest Washington, is refusing to allow me to share.

Here's what they say:



It's NOT "spam," of course: posting in a private group when you're a member is, in no way, spam.  They know it.  You know it.

The original post is still up, so obviously it doesn't violate FB's TOS.

It's ALSO the only thing I can't share.  Sheer coincidence, I'm sure.

But mention Biden's name?

So, it would pretty much seem that yes, full-bore censorship is a fact of life in Facebook land.

Now, Blogger, here, is owned by Google.

I don't know if Google is overly censoring or not, so it will be interesting to see what happens when I post this.  But meanwhile, here's the "offending post" in its entirety.  You decide.

Parallels between Rivers and Biden.

Yeah, I'm going there.

Here's the thing: while the wheels seem to be coming off the Biden campaign in ways that likely will mostly brutalize independents, I am struck by some of the parallels between Rivers and Biden. Biden, for his part, refuses to answer specific questions about what they are going to do and what they support or oppose.

Well, Rivers' issue is that she, like Biden, is a proven liar when it comes to her political issues. Biden's lies are well known to those who care enough to pay attention. River's lies directly and massively impacted our wallets and our lives. Further, if you visit her campaign website, she refuses to say with specificity, what she will or won't do, what she will or won't support or oppose, and what, for example, her positions are on jacking up our taxes.

Why?

Simple: she doesn't want to be held accountable for ANYTHING she does.

Which is why, for example, she's cosponsored DEMOCRAT social engineering bills like the hideous 25% of all corporate boards in Washington State must at least IDENTIFY as women that she was so hot to pass.

She's fully signed on to the leftist school of political thought, best illustrated by former county commissioner Steve Stuart right before he took that sweet deal to become a city manager instead of running for reelection so that TriMet could get $5 million off of us in the event we killed their CRC/Loot rail scam:

"And I've said it before: I don't speak for the people.. I will NEVER speak for "the people," I speak for Steve and some of you are going to agree with me and some of you aren't."

Neither does Rivers. Weird, that.

Of course, Rivers lied about her opposition to the largest gas tax and tab fee increases in the history of this state in ways that resulted in Clark County picking up a $700 million tab, $500 million of which is going to King County, while Clark County itself gets the crumbs off Rivers' table when it came to these two increases.

Rivers' character was revealed when she actually blamed the county assessor for the massive property tax increases she jammed down our throat, showing herself incapable of taking responsibility for her actions. Biden, for his part, refuses to take responsibility for his racism; his codified, "systemic" racism as illustrated in the 94 Crime Act; his multiple racist speeches on the floor of the Senate and elsewhere, his unbridled arrogance towards those who question his judgment, SOOO reminiscent of Ann Rivers' disparaging remarks and tone towards anyone who questions her actions and judgement; and his now documented efforts at extortion and selling out to China, much like Rivers sold us out during her McCleary negotiations by accepting a fat contract with a democrat campaign firm and, of course, her seeming efforts to extort a campaign bribe.

While admittedly Rivers' Biden imitation is at a much smaller scale, some of the comparisons are remarkable. And what we have are a cult-like group who wouldn't be caught dead voting for Biden who engages in these things on a macro scale, and who will cheerfully turn around and vote for Rivers who does all this on a comparative micro scale. 

If Biden wins, as he may (and he will certainly win Washington State) we'll turn around, shake our heads and ask, "With all of the proven corruption, racism and dementia of Biden, how could anyone have voted for him?"

How, indeed.

And the answer is "the same way blinded Republicans will vote for Rivers."

Those who support a corrupt allegedly GOP politician have no moral high ground to question those who supported an equally obviously corrupt democrat. After all, no one wants to be a hypocrite, do they?

Drain the swamp. Write in Mielke... Otherwise? We deserve whatever we get.

Thoughts on Sen. Ann Rivers (D-Gas Tax) begging the Clark County GOP for their endorsement.

Yesterday, the Clark County GOP Central Committee met to, among other things, consider the endorsement of Tom Mielkie in his effort to write-in a campaign against democrat Sen. Ann Rivers.

Folks who've been reading my meager effort are well aware of my disdain for former Republican Rivers, who has spent a great deal of the past 5 years betraying the people of both her district and Clark County by supporting and working for THE largest tab fee, gas tax and property tax increases in this state's history; who, having killed the I-5 Bridge/Light Rail scam, is in large part responsible for resurrecting that project, apparently having had her price met... or the incriminating video found.... or something that has caused her to shift her representation from her district to downtown Seattle.

This is a fake Republican who cosponsored a democrat bill REQUIRING ALL CORPORATE BOARDS IN THIS STATE TO HAVE 25% WOMEN on their board, OR THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS WOMEN.

That government has any right to determine gender make up of any organization is likely unconstitutional on it's face.

And I'm absolutely positive the people of the 18th District were THRILLED by yet another Rivers betrayal.

And if her fake "conservative act" shtick works, and she's sent back to Olympia, how many more times will she betray us?  How many more billions in tax-increases will she be responsible for?

She's even gone so far as to try and get the taxpayers to reimburse her for a Vancouver Parking ticket:




You'd think she'd be able to pay for out of the $17,000+ settlement she scammed from the county when they accidentally cut down some of her hedges.  But NNNnnnooooo.

There's more... many more... reasons to get rid of this fake Republican and as the election continues, we'll be going over those reasons.  But that's not the point of this post.

Rivers, who has always hated the local GOP organization since the Gellatly Cult lost control of the GOP (thankfully) in the last reorganization; yesterday, found herself in a position where she actually HAD to go to a Central Committee meeting to, effectively, beg the committee she despises to actually endorse her election instead of that of write-in former State Representative and County Commissioner Tom Mielkie.

Rivers usually avoids Central Committee meetings like the plague.  Which, considering her actual legislative voting record, many times more reminiscent of Jim Moeller than that of a "conservative Republican", is probably not all that bad of an idea.

But yesterday, she deigned to actually make an appearance to beg for the endorsement, and, of course, lie about why she's been betraying us for so long, either through omission or commission.

So, why is that a big deal?  (She did not get the endorsement, BTW; a serious slap in the face of a 10 year incumbent.)

This:



"I want nothing more to do with it?"

So, why did she show up to beg for their endorsement?

Like so many things Rivers babbles, this was a statement of lies, half-truths and gross exaggerations.

It was, once again, what River's typically does.

Because if, as she babbled, "I want nothing more to do with it" then why did she bother showing up yesterday?

Simple.  Because in spite of outspending her Republican primary opponent, John Ley, 13 to 1, this 10 year incumbent very nearly lost.

And now, with a genuine conservative who has even more of an elective background than she has, she suddenly became terrified that the group who she claimed she "wanted nothing more to do with" would endorse HIM over her, just like they did in the primary election.

What happened to her integrity?  Why did she lie above, and do the exact opposite she claimed she'd do, after trashing the entire organization?

Even though all the Cult Members voted for her, it wasn't enough because back when, in her arrogance, she was so sure she'd win and didn't NEED the local GOP, she blew off the paperwork/questionnaire needed to apply for their endorsement to begin with.

She needed a 2/3rds majority, and thankfully, she didn't get one.

Take a moment and wonder why.  Why wouldn't a 10 year incumbent claiming to be a Republican choose to deny her that endorsement?

Could it be she's voting far too much like a democrat and far too little like a Republican on the bills that matter most?

The bills that cost the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars?  The bills she lies about?

Is it her monumental arrogance when dealing with those wise enough to disagree with her?  Is it her overarching effort to avoid accountability for what she does and has done?

Stay tuned.  There is much, much more to come.
