The Washington Post on Thursday announced that Stalin has wiped out all memories of his Secret Police chief, Yezhov. Oops! I mean the Democrats have deleted all their recent tweets about the big feud between Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrat leadership with the leftist Squad. This attempt to wipe out the recent past was announced by Mike DeBonis in "House Democrats move to tamp down internal feud, delete tweets that sparked infighting."

Oh, so what Nixon’s plumbers were actually doing was an attempt to ‘De-escalate’ the Watergate break-ins.

With the recent court ruling that the president can’t block people from his twitter account, shouldn’t these be considered public communications?

hildabeast approved bleach bit! 😁

An oblong slip of newspaper had appeared between O'Brien's fingers. For perhaps five seconds it was within the angle of Winston's vision. It was a photograph, and there was no question of its identity. It was THE photograph. It was another copy of the photograph of Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford at the party function in New York, which he had chanced upon eleven years ago and promptly destroyed. For only an instant it was before his eyes, then it was out of sight again. But he had seen it, unquestionably he had seen it! He made a desperate, agonizing effort to wrench the top half of his body free. It was impossible to move so much as a centimetre in any direction. For the moment he had even forgotten the dial. All he wanted was to hold the photograph in his fingers again, or at least to see it.

'It exists!' he cried.

'No,' said O'Brien.

He stepped across the room. There was a memory hole in the opposite wall. O'Brien lifted the grating. Unseen, the frail slip of paper was whirling away on the current of warm air; it was vanishing in a flash of flame. O'Brien turned away from the wall.

'Ashes,' he said. 'Not even identifiable ashes. Dust. It does not exist. It never existed.'

'But it did exist! It does exist! It exists in memory. I remember it. You remember it.'

'I do not remember it,' said O'Brien.

we don’t call them Dumbocrats for no good reason.

Maybe we can re-post every one of the deleted tweets just to show them how things are done, nowadays

[hardspunned]

Is the democrat party or the stooge media the official Ministry of Truth?

[virgil]

I just hope voters are paying attention to this shit.

[fella]

The RATs sure did learn a lot from the Communists since 1917. Lessons that they are using today.

As government officials, these are no longer private twitter accounts. This was made very clear to President Trump in his inability to ban people from his twitter account.

Would deleting the tweets violate the Federal Record Keeping Act?

[Revolutionary]

Pretend it never happened.

Just because they remove their tweets, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. And it will happen again, because the Fraud Squad can’t help themselves, and the claws will be out again, and again, and again. They don’t have it in them to obey Nazi.

When the Leftists at Google, Facebook, and Wikipedia are the 'gate-keepers' for many of these archives -- I am not so sure that history can't be effectively scrubbed.

They're one and the same

[Socon-Econ]

The Democrats are better at avoiding the circular firing squad than conservatives.

[a fool in paradise]

Shouldn’t these be retained per FOIA rules?
