and then the antifa-trained dogs tore them up and the Jewish Space Lasers destroyed what was left. Sorry, no evidence.
Still.

(3,270 posts)2. I saw a bunch of tweets from attendees
loyally extolling how great the conference is and how they learned so much.
They sounded like they were paid PR hacks-- all the tweets were close in wording.

voting machines at the "symposium".

...why were only 15% of the attendees there on day 3?
We had people there saying they were disappointed & bored.
I think you're right!
Those tweets are fake accounts and those glowing tweets were PR.
