The WHOLE WORLD is saying F.U. to Washington...

Edited on Sun Jul-24-11 01:28 PM by AmBlue

...but it's NOT trending on Twitter. How is this possible? Do they really think we are that stupid?

Trendsmap shows the truth:

1. They have kids on the site.

They are not going to allow the F word in the trending topics.

Someone tried #BlameWashington but it didn't have the same effect.

2. As if kids don't see that word anywhere else on Twitter.

Convenient excuse.

12. No one can figure out why it isn't trending,

It isn't like dozens of posts show up on every search refresh.

14. On TrendsMap someone is posting every FIVE SECONDS at least.

They've suppressed the search on Twitter. Jackwads.

It's more than a little ironic that there is *protection* for children who might see one vulgar word, yet if they can't eat tonight, or their school has no money to buy books... or they can't see a doctor when they desperately need one THAT's just fine and dandy.

FUWASHINGTON!!! (Twitter bosses too...)

24. It's clearly been censored.

Here's my Sat. Night post from when I first started seeing this happen: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1561784

Here's today's post about the history of this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1568904

10. I actually ignore my account most of the time, but sometimes it's useful.

Among other things, a lot of journalists are on it, and tweets sometimes seem to get through to them better than anything else.

8. fuck you washington

for taking the side of the rich in the class war and for criminalizing the one plant (of all the millions of plants in the world the only one illegal in its natural state is cannabis) in its natural form that also happens to be my favorite plant.

17. Not so much. Last night, it was a lot of foreign languages

I caught Spanish and Portuguese, but didn't recognize a lot of the other ones.

Of course, that is before they blocked it from trending. :eyes:

19. TrendsMap shows China, Africa, Japan, So. America... all of Europe.

The WORLD is pissed off with the crap going on in OUR Capitol. And rightly so.

Our nation has been hijacked by people professing to be leaders but who, for the most part, have no regard for the common good.

16. They have a story at Yahoo about this debacle and

everybody there is against what these "negotiators" are up to.

Usually you can divide the comments into left and right.
