Candace Owens is a treasonous pile of dung.

[The Jungle 1]

She is upset that russians are being treated badly amid the Ukraine invasion. If those russians don't like the way they are being treated they can go the fuck home. Owens should be locked up for aiding the enemy.
Owens, the treasonous balloon knot, blames America for the invasion.

1. she is a russian agent i think

[Beaverhausen]

2. well I doubt most russians agree with what Putin is doing

And I don't think there is any reason to take out our anger on businesses here in the US which are owned by Russians or anyone with a Russian sounding name.

Owens is just trying to get attention.

6. Polling in russia from February demonstrated 70% support for puketin.

I doubt that has changed. Look how many people still support orange face.
Can we at least destroy the entire russian mob? ID them and put them in a row boat. The russian mob is huge in America and doing great harm.

[TheRealNorth]

10. Yup

The Russians are bathed in a steady stream of lies, and Pooty promises them to Make Russia Great Again.

[PatSeg]

11. Who did the polling though?

How can anyone get valid numbers on anything out of Russia right now?

[The Jungle 1]

14. You can search the polling.

One was done in russia and one was independent but the numbers align.
That is huge support.
I like that our retired generals are saying NATO would smash russia. They are a paper dragon.

[PatSeg]

15. But I wonder how honest the Russian people

would be in their responses.

Good to hear the retired generals assessment and I can imagine that NATO countries are going to be spending more on their militaries in the future. Putin has woken up a lot of people.

[Caliman73]

16. You can't really get valid polling out of Russia...

For the reasons you stated and were stated up thread. Russians are being repressed, as in literally arrested for saying anything negative about the war in Ukraine AND they are being fed propaganda through Russian media.

That would account for the higher numbers in support of the State and the war.

[PatSeg]

18. Yes and how would they know whether

the pollster was part of the FSB or some other government agency? Seems like it certainly wouldn't be worth the risk.

[Ray Bruns]

3. Tell us how you really feel.

[exboyfil]

4. Which Russians

If they are simply Russian nationals, then they should have the same protections as any other foreigners in our country.

If they are oligarch friends of Putin, then maybe they require a little bit more examination. I am starting to wonder if membership in the Russian Orthodox church shouldn't earn a trip to the domestic terrorism watchlist (just joking but a Muslim analogy in how they were treated is apt).

[The Jungle 1]

7. The russian mob is huge in America.

Get them out.

5. Here's the dung beetle.

@RealCandaceO
Absolutely appalling the way Russians are being treated in America and abroad. That our leaders and government institutions are allowing for—and at times calling for this discrimination following their global “black lives matter” hysteria is quite telling.

Russian lives matter.

8. The Russian Embassy in the United States retweeted her puke.

She is clearly helping russia. Arrest her.

[Coventina]

9. "Russian lives matter"????

Maybe she should try telling Putin that. He doesn't seem to think so.

[Caliman73]

21. Right wingers thrive on distorting useful and honorable language.

Black Lives Matter was the slogan that people used to promote the idea that the rest of us needed to take a look into why Black people get arrested, harassed, and killed more often than other groups, by police.

Right wingers and their allies jumped on it with "All Lives Matter" and "Blue Lives Matter" as a way to drown out or water down the response to Black people telling us "Hey, we need help with this issue of Black people getting killed and brutalized."

She is doing it again with "Russian Lives..."

There is a valid point to be made about indiscriminate hatred toward Russian Americans and Russian people who actively oppose the war. I said in a past thread, that Americans do not do nuance well and we tend to attack people who are different who "might be" something, but we really aren't bothered to make sure we are protesting against the right people. Like I said in that post, We've done that with Sikhs after 9/11, with Japanese-Americans during WWII, etc...

That is not what Owens is doing. She is making a bad faith argument that any backlash against Russians who support the war in Ukraine is the same as the discrimination suffered by Black people for simply existing.

She truly is disgusting.

[chowder66]

19. What is she even talking about? What leaders and government are calling for discrimination?

She's such an asshole.

12. GRIFT: Candace Owens loses defamation suit against FB fact-checkers, can keep funds raised

Link to tweet

Right-wing columnist Candace Owens just lost a defamation lawsuit appeal against two major Facebook third-party fact-checkers in front of the Delaware Supreme Court. But The Daily Wire writer and former TPUSA spokesperson raised an unknown, however potentially significant sum of money to her company to pay for the litigation, falsely claiming on her website that she’d sue Facebook founder.

But she didn’t sue him at all.

In late 2020, Owens and her Delaware-incorporated company filed a defamation suit in Delaware Superior Court over a pair of Facebook fact checks. Alongside the lawsuit, Candace Owens LLC created and published a unique website to finance the entire operation, which purported to be fundraising for a case against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg who owns the majority of its social networks and its recently renamed parent company. Her reason for suing? Having a false claim, she wrote about Covid-19 early in the pandemic labeled as false.

Instead, Owens filed suit against Lead Stories, which is run by co-founders Alan Duke who worked for CNN for 26 years, and COO/CTO Martin Schenk, who created their custom social media intelligence tool, the Trendolizer. “Lead Stories will continue to honestly and thoroughly fact check false claims,” Duke told Occupy Democrats, “especially those that endanger public health and safety.” As part of its work, Lead Stories has a fact-checking partnership with Facebook, and since 2020, it is also fact-checking the popular Tik Tok video platform, which has a major covid disinformation problem. The conservative social media influencer also named USA Today and its parent company Gannett in the litigation and lost her claims against that institution as well......

While the website does list the court case number and where to look it up, it’s indisputable that the original website’s claim to fund a lawsuit against Zuckerberg is false. That happens to coincide with the time that the case Candace Owens filed also got the most attention in the right-wing media where she claimed to be busy “fact-checking the fact-checkers” in Newsmax or planning to “put these suckers through discovery” in Fox News. It was only sometime in the first week of December 2020, based on a review of the Internet Archive, that Owens updated the site to note that she was not, in fact, suing the Facebook founder.

[Caliman73]

20. Can the companies file counter suit for expenses?

I guess since she pulled out of the case they couldn't really go after her. It would be nice however, if she could suffer some financial backlash for filing frivolous suits

[czarjak]

13. Vlad will kill you last as a token of appreciation for your support.

17. I think she's faking everything she says. It's a complete put-on.

[The Jungle 1]

22. Only problem is the fools on the right believe her.

Trump said Mexico would pay for the wall. We knew he was lying. The right believed him!
This constant lying by the right must be called out or we will lose our democracy.

[msfiddlestix]

23. Who is Candace Owens? I've seen the name dropped here from time to time..

I skim past through headings with that name and no reference like State Rep or Actress or Dr or Head of NEA or other...

Yes, I could google, but I'm making the point.
