Something weird is happening on a bunch of conservative Twitter accounts...

FOX News has gone silent. But so has...

The National Enquirer
Jill Stein
Kim Dot Com
Wikileaks
Rudy Giuliani
Jared Kushner has deleted all his tweets.

Is something big about to happen?

There's a lot buzz about Mueller though nothing substantial. I think it hs to do with Roger Stone.

Some kazakh oligarchs embezzled government-money and laundered it. Some of it through the Netherlands, and some of THAT with help from Giuliani's former law-firm.

on Twitter when his family home was surrounded by protesters. I don't agree with his house being surrounded but some dipshit on Twitter has been demonizing Democratic leaders and CNN on Twitter and bombs were sent by a follower. Nobody has taken his account down yet.

Drudge also deletes his tweets often.

Count me as skeptical.

Until something happens, let's continue organizing and messaging for Dems heading into 2020!

Either for a mass-protest or something deeper. You may have a point about Drudge and Kushner, but FOX News, Jill Stein, Wikileaks, Kim Dot Com and others have all gone quiet around the same time. Something is up. Not saying I know what that something is but it's clear something has happened.

Also: Drudge didn't just purge his twitter feed - he hasn't tweeted at all. He doesn't purge like this.

And Sean Hannity is still tweeting.

Hannity is perhaps the single most malign force in America today - between his TV show and his radio show and the constant lies and fearmongering to help Murdoch.

all over other media, riling up their brownshirts against Twitter. Then I remembered Twitler lives on Twitter so they can’t denounce Twitter. Therefore these RW media outlets can only stage a silent, passive-aggressive protest that leaves their fans and foes in the dark.

Murdoch only does that when he wants to read the riot act or drop someone in the shit. Otherwise he sends lackeys, this was no ordinary meeting.

That their excuse is the Tucker Carlson incident but they seemed to have great success riling up their base sharing propaganda against the caravan.

Either way, their silence at least should quiet down their base on twitter, which is what everyone needs right now.
