My main point in this OP is about the photo circulating with wrong Hotel & date.
Not Trump Hotel election night!
Yes Waldorf Hotel July 2016.
edit:
@LouiseMensch
A little note. @puppymnkey and Milo Yiannopoulous lied about this photo. It was taken last July. Not post-election

thats wrong. was in UT. summer photo, I could pull the date... hold on. July 24, 2016.
Except they were taken last summer at the Waldorf, spent Election night in Utah with patriots by the names of @Evan_McMullin and supporters

End.
Thought it'd be nice to correct wrong info on that point.
I follow her and 10 other people I like. Will continue to do so.

So...

Charlotte Little
(658 posts)She is not cleaning - she's deleting tweets that are lies or that someone's called her out on. Seems awfully suspicious she'd need to "clean" those tweets about the photo with Milo, anyway. I mean, if she's being honest about the whole thing, then...

That's how message boards work.

(658 posts)Nothing more, nothing less. And why she's doing it is to cause chaos and promote herself. She's known for these kinds of antics. I got wise and unfollowed her. Now, when I do go and peek at her TL, I laugh. She doesn't even know how our laws work.

(658 posts)Many here want to believe a person who is nothing more than an opportunist while the rest of us are wise to her schtick and are quite honestly sick of the promotion of her.
And why is this about YOU? YOU put up a thread with links that lead to deleted tweets. I was simply pointing that out to you. Maybe a more reasonable response would be to take this thread down since you got nothing to back it.

(63,173 posts)That is, examples of her earth-shattering scoops that were actually verified to be correct, as opposed to tweets that simply haven't been disproven.
She has been repeatedly and spectacularly wrong, yet people lap up her tweets as quickly as she posts them. Despite her (conspicuously) passionate fans, she is the poster child for the Left's Fake News.
I look forward to your list of her verified claims.
Madam45for2923
(7,178 posts)She knew from the start that Comey was investigating Trump when everyone thought that Comey wanted Trump to win election.
She knew that FVEY spies (along with our CI) had the goods on many surrounding and including Donald: Most Trumps, Manafort, Sessions, Flynn, Ryan, Reince, Page, Bannon, Nunes, Sater, Epshteyn (f*ck list is endless).
She in the open along with others investigate all of the clowns mentioned above, finding what is open to the public and connecting it all --while our media either sits on all of that, or does not care, or is asleep.
She knew that CI was not gonna let Donald be.
She knew that M15 ex-spy Steele's dossier is more correct than people thought from the beginning.
She was there to investigate flight plans that coincided between some Russian billionaire and Donald & co.
She knew Wikileaks and Putin were pretty much synonymous- when people were just scratching their heads.
She knew there were actions being taken at the Virginia courts that were not public.
She has been openly investigating (with the help of others) all sorts of bots and their connections (In the open!)
She and her lawyers are quick to use FOIA on most anything related to this mis-administration.
She hates team treason and she is strongly parked in team resistance.
SHE DOES MOST OF THE ABOVE IN THE OPEN TOGETHER WITH ANYONE WHO HAS TIME AND EXPERTISE TO HELP. We can all see the process and make up our own minds.
She shares whatever scoop she gets from her sources. Does not just sit on it like our MSM does.
She let us know what comes from her sources, and what comes from her connecting the dots, again we can make up our mind.
AGAIN, WE CAN MAKE UP OUR OWN MINDS.
I love all the people taking TRUMP/RUSSIA seriously & trying to help uncover the mess that it is. I love also that by their actions the MSM cannot put it all under the rug. It pushes the MSM to do their jobs.
PS: This is just my list offhand.

(63,173 posts)One or two seem spot on, most seem sort of "in the ballpark," and the rest are kind of vaguely truthish.
I am likewise thrilled that people are pursuing the Trump/Russia connection, but I am not so eager to believe in that collusion that I am willing to embrace sketchy clickbait sources like Mensch, no matter how feverishly people retweet her.
Here's a good (and troubling) story about Mensch that ran yesterday on NPR's excellent program On The Media with Brooke Gladstone. Well worth a listen.
Madam45for2923
(7,178 posts)We can see where her thoughts are going and when she self-corrects and why.
People call her on stuff, they discuss it, and with new information, she corrects her course if new info seems more correct.
It is all in the open.
I understand why she would not be everyone's cup of tea.
Everyone can read or not, or stop reading.
I just HATE people trying to MAKE others do as they do or do not.
Not talking about you, just saying.

If you're going to smear people for past associations, don't forget that Tad Devine and Paul Manafort were once on the same team.
Does that make Tad Devine a scumbag like Manafort? I don't think so, but by your reasoning . . . .

(7,681 posts)You keep trying to make it seem like he was just a casual acquaintance a long time ago.
But here is the great LM aggressively defending her 'past associate' when he was banned from twitter.
Less than a year ago. I don't have to remind you why he was banned. I'm sure you know. And so did she.
