    Now, don't you feel stupid?

    Not really. Excerpt from NBCNews: "[The Taliban] Twitter feed pumps out several messages a day, keeping 993 followers up to date with often highly exaggerated reports of strikes against the "infidel forces" and the "Karzai puppet regime . . .
    it seems the Taliban have joined the new millennium.

    The Guardian noted that on Thursday (last May), the account posted its first English tweet about an attack on police in Farah province: "Enemy attacked in Khak-e-Safid, 6 dead." Links to similar reports are more often broken than not because "the Taliban's official website, regularly evicted from servers or shut down by authorities, is constantly on the move."
    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/follow-taliban-now-twitter-flna123360
    ^^^^^^

    I don't know if this has more truth or your guy's. It seems like Taliban is on Twitter, kinda. I've not followed the Afghan business for quite some time. I'd have thought Taliban was more into chewing the chess pieces. But if you're right, you're right, and I'm wrong.

    But for the record, no far right source will ever, fucking ever, make me feel stupid.

    Sorry, on this one, you're a kneejerk idiot and it probably didn't take a far right news source to make you feel stupid. By rushing to judgement without a shred of evidence to the contrary, you dialed up and channeled your best Don Lemon to come to an erroneous conclusion. Don't ever base your entire worldview on where news originates from. The Taliban is on Twitter. Full stop, period. Trump is not. Full stop, period.

    Admit it and move on. Better luck next time.

      Pay no attention Cats. The big issue is whether the Taliban may have posted on Twitter at the expense of Trump. It is not an issue anywhere beyond the borders of pseudo - conservative USA.

            The issue is bigger than that. The issue is censorship in the public square. Trump is the example, but the issue is bigger than just him.

              Say, Renauda, would you care to name a single living "real conservative"? I know you can't define "real conservativism", but I feel naming an example might be within your capabilities.

                Sure, Joe Lieberman. Other than that, I guess Boris Johnson.
                Other than that you're on your own for guesses, sod off.

                    Yes, but Lieberman is reasonable. He has principles which I have to respect (ignoring the fact that he ran with Algore). He's not crazy.

                      So what we have is Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb decided to prove their ignorance by claiming there was no Taliban on Twitter, basically saying those who said they are are idiots - only to be proven wrong, and instead of either Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dumb having the character to admit they were incorrect, they fell silent and let other left wingers save their bacon by changing the subject and launching personal attacks.

                      Par for the course.

                        Yes, he's one of the last true liberals. But what he's not is a conservative. It's a shame actually that he stands pretty much alone as a sane and reasonable democrat.

                            I struggle with that. Maybe it's because politicians these days have to pander super hard to stay relevant.

                            I think it's the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created.

                            That's probably my main beef with Trump - everything was so easy with him. I still like George Will and Romney types.

                                      Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb were a couple of whacked out fantasy idiots that only Alice could see during one of her drug fueled nightmares....

                                      So you went out and asked Alice after all.

                                      Well.. she had nice tits, so........ yeah.....

                                          She had nice tits too for a while there... but it got to the point where you'd need some of whatever Alice was sniffing to .....,.

                                          Never mind...
