As I told my children when they started going on the internet - Everything You Post Is FOREVER!

She really is a complete fraud. Caught up in her "fame and fortune".

Title is about the claim she deleted tweets, then only one deleted tweet is mentioned but for some reason it's still there, at least for me at the moment.

the only reason I made the 30 second effort to check whether the tweet was deleted is because I noticed how much misinformation regarding Sinema is going around. People should be mad that they get played like this.

The poster of this thread should at least mention that the tweet isn't deleted at this point.

At least the poster of that thread made the decision to self-delete once it became clear that it was a ridiculous claim without any evidence.
We always laugh about how stupid Trumpers are for believing every bs but we fall so easily for false information when it's something we just want to be true.

So it's possible it was either

Undeleted in response to the criticism
Undeleted because it was accidentally deleted

Either way the hypocrisy is still a real issue as in the seemingly malleable values.

I often get error messages after clicking on a twitter link and have to reload.
Other people were talking about still finding the tweet minutes after that person posted the screenshot about the unavailable tweet. Either way, the creator of this video could have actually made an effort to verify it for himself or read some of the replies to this tweet.

The problem is her wide movement away from those positions not some issue over whether she deleted them or not.

I presume she did tweet the things shown in the video. Those views are 180 from where she stands on the same issues today. She needs to be asked what has changed from 10-11 years ago to cause the cange of heart.

But I don't really care about it, I care about the wide morphing of her political values over time.

Nobody ever told her what you post online is forever on some server somewhere? And phoniness is forever too.

As an (older) person who has never 'bookfaced' nor 'twitted', is there an ability or method to review and/or to retrieve social media postings from the past that were actually issued by specific individuals?

If I’m not mistaken, he was elected by the same electorate. Therefore, I call Bullshit!.

This entire Sinema and Manchin thing is disgusting. Watching Manchin hold court and pronounce his $1.5 trillion number as if he is a god makes me sick. What a terrible system where a person who represents 0.5% of the US population holds this much power.
