👑King of Petty👑 My ideology! Welcome to my World. Don't blame me for shit, I voted for Hillary Clinton. All of this madness could've been avoided with a simple vote and peoppe still found a way to fuck it all up. POLITICKING with Mr. Weeks have zero boundaries and no one is off the table. Just make sure you're ready for my opinions, and share your comments, I know you will. And like always, fuck Bernie Sanders.

Clinton said that in 2006, Bernie Sanders "voted in the House with hard-line Republicans for indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants, and then he sided with those Republicans to stand with vigilantes known as Minutemen who were taking up outposts along the border to hunt down immigrants."

read the replies, it is obviously that tweet
the r/Judaism Reddit confirms it
https://www.reddit.com/r/Judaism/comments/awq5tn/mr_weeks_guy_who_called_bernie_sanders_a_fucking/
a Google search captured caches of it as well
here is the link to that bottom tweet in the snapshot right above where he doubles down
Link to tweet
here is the exchange where Neera Tanden wished him a happy birthday
with the actual tweet proving it
the comments show that this is the same Jew-baiter putting out all this other stuff
Link to tweet
I searched public records and that is indeed his birthday
he makes no attempts to remain anonymous
all his addresses and time frames match perfectly and mesh completely with all the myriad info he himself has published in numerous public posts
BUT
I will NOT publish his address, phone etc, that is not necessary and is stooping to people like this rotter's level, including trolls of all stripes
here is one of his multiple Hitler tweets
Link to tweet
(again read the comments, you see it is the one in the screenshot here:
He has yet to be banned on Facebook or Instagram
His FB has a shit tonne of pics of him, and references much of the same shit, so again this IS the same guy
https://www.facebook.com/danec.weeks
strange post by him on FB as he appears to be challenging the other poster (the other poster calls the Hillary 'rigged the primaries' a lie)
(and if not, if I am misreading his response, THEN he (Mr Weeks) now smearing Warren too, calling her anti-Obama via a smear campaign, that Warren is dismissive of Russian collusion, and that Warren called Hillary corrupt)
This guy is serious trouble, you know I am NO Sanders fangirl AT ALL, I think he would be an electoral disaster
but no way in fucking hell will I push this antisemitic POS's rot, his posts are racist and offensive as fuck

At a minimum it would show a stunning ignorance of basic biology and quite a few ideas that are not acceptable even in modern American society.

Wouldn't be that hard either. You could still hate Bernie and believe all the stuff on the truck and everything else.
You could just say "yeah, I hate Bernie and everything but I'll admit it's not okay to call someone a 'fake fucking Jew,' and it's not okay to use slurs like tranny and shemale. These things are not okay."
But you wouldn't do it. And that's the sad truth. So keep on doing this routine here all you like but it will not change that.

155. I'd use him for libel.
Truth is an absolute affirmative defense against a lawsuit involving libel and slander. It would be impossible to prove that anything on that billboard is false and furthermore, a willful act.
Public figures always have a hard time proving libel and slander because they are well-known and thus subject to a first amendment criticism. This is even more true about persons running for an election.
So BS can knock himself out and sue -- it will just give far more publicity to that billboard.
