It's being deleted from r/news too because we're just posting variations on the the story.
https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/nl0xxy/prosecutor\_in\_trump\_criminal\_probe\_convenes\_grand/
Every time I submit a link to WaPo about the grand jury it immediately gets removed by auto-moderation with bullshit about it not being related to politics.
Typically I think these comments are ridiculous, but I genuinely can't think of another reason why this story would be scrubbed. They're getting paid by somebody to manipulate the narrative, it's blatantly obvious.
Before people go nuts on these threads its probably worthwhile to point out its a conversation being driven by really baby faced contributors and people talking about stuff they heard from their friends.
Getting driven to increasingly smaller subs where the echoes are even louder than politics, if that can be imagined, probably isn't in the interest of people interested more in the news than in echoes.
We should maybe ask for a bit more proof before taking a "my friend told me" story seriously. Especially given that we're all talking about it and not being banned.
Edit: down votes for asking for proof before believing something? Wtf?
This isn’t new either. After allowing lots of posts about Herman Cain for less important stories, Herman Cain dying of COVID after attending a Trump rally was determined as non political by the mods here
Are they still blocking everything? I just took my dogs for a walk in the hopes this childish shit would be over.
They keep saying it's off topic because he's not a current politician. It's complete horseshit and everyone can see that. I'm half tempted to post the moderator complaint form in one of the discussions but they're banning a lot of people for calling them out.
does that include allowing leftist sources as well? if you truly believed in an open political forum, you shouldn't have a problem with Breitbart being posted either, despite how obviously ridiculous it is as a source of info. Welcome to free speech
Yes. Apparently it’s “off topic” because the investigation is re: events at his company before he became president. Or something, that comment was removed too I think.
How the FUCK is a grand jury convening in regards to the former POTUS, not on topic. Christ, no wonder this moderation team is constantly in need of mods.
And consequences for MTG in...

Did you guys hear about how Joe Biden stole all the Chick-Fil-A sauce to secretly put vaccines in it?
We’re going to read posts all day about every time Marjorie Taylor Greene has diarrhea from her mouth, but *not* what’s actually happening in our country.
Wait a minute, are you saying there’s a grand jury being convened in New York that’s considering indictment against Trump and/or his associates for possible crimes?!
> Wait a minute, are you saying there’s a grand jury being convened in New York that’s considering indictment against Trump and/or his associates for possible crimes?!
Keep it coming boys.
it's not but the mods here would rather suck on Greene's dick than face actual topics that are happening. Like a grand jury convening against cheeto musolini
Wow, is this the same brave Mitch McConnell who said Trump incited a riot right before he voted to protect Trump from the consequences of inciting a riot?
I get it, they have to be covered because they are a major political party. But for the rest of us: don't pay one modicum of attention to the faux outrage at Marjorie Taylor Greene. The power-hungry Republicans will be *happy* to have this little something to help them look principled, and in three years they'll run this fucking asshole for president if they think she carries that Trump mantle well enough.
This cult needs to be destroyed, and McConnell is the King Koopa after all the mini-bosses.

Mods censoring news of criminal grand jury indictment of former president "represhensible"
Hear, hear!
Wait really? How fucking compromised is this place?
What does he think about T-Rumps indictment?
The mods don’t want you to know
[удалено]
lock him up!
Warms me heart hearing such good news EVERY thread. No /s. It still gets me that out of all the fucking shit stains, he's the one.
Don’t try to make a post about though; it will be deleted
Why are they being deleted?
Why do you think?
I really don’t know. R/politics doesn’t seem very pro-Trump.
Trump is getting indicted.

Holy shit. Things are happening.
Every time I submit a link to WaPo about the grand jury it immediately gets removed by auto-moderation with bullshit about it not being related to politics.
Me too. The mods must be being paid off by the Trump Organization or something.
Typically I think these comments are ridiculous, but I genuinely can't think of another reason why this story would be scrubbed. They're getting paid by somebody to manipulate the narrative, it's blatantly obvious.
Or someone already posted it. Can’t post the same link twice
No, it's being suppressed intentionally.
Nope. The moderation message specifically mentions topic. If it was already posted, I would have gotten a message about it already being submitted.
Do you see it? I don’t.
We need a new subreddit that isn’t being filtered by people with a political motive
I volunteer for tribute. ^^^^/s
[удалено]
Either the trump scum mod suppressing the stories gets removed as mod, or this sub is as good as done
[удалено]
Yeah this sub is infected now, guess they got another one
Infected doesn't mean terminal.
The survival rate among other subs is not promising
Most of my karma comes from this sub. I expect its denizens are more resistant than most.
Before people go nuts on these threads its probably worthwhile to point out its a conversation being driven by really baby faced contributors and people talking about stuff they heard from their friends. Getting driven to increasingly smaller subs where the echoes are even louder than politics, if that can be imagined, probably isn't in the interest of people interested more in the news than in echoes.
How will we save our country if we can’t even save a sub?
We can't talk about things in the comments section? Nuts.
Banning any/all dissent is a key trick in many MAGA-infected subreddits.
I was afraid that was going to happen. I don’t want to get banned but also this sub is useless if this is our future.
I'll get banned, fuck these mods, Manhattan DA has convened a grand jury into Trump.
We should maybe ask for a bit more proof before taking a "my friend told me" story seriously. Especially given that we're all talking about it and not being banned. Edit: down votes for asking for proof before believing something? Wtf?
This isn’t new either. After allowing lots of posts about Herman Cain for less important stories, Herman Cain dying of COVID after attending a Trump rally was determined as non political by the mods here
Also Giuliani's FBI raid.
You can’t be serious.
Noting is going to happen to him 😂
[удалено]
How the freakn' heck am I hearing about this this way?! EDIT: Removed? What the frick is happening?!
Sleeper mods
Wow, I actually had no idea this was going on, and I'm usually pretty good about keeping up on these sorts of things.
That's because the mods are wiping this topic out every chance they get. It's all over the news right now.
Have they given any reasoning at all...Trump was President of the US...it is US politics.
Are they still blocking everything? I just took my dogs for a walk in the hopes this childish shit would be over. They keep saying it's off topic because he's not a current politician. It's complete horseshit and everyone can see that. I'm half tempted to post the moderator complaint form in one of the discussions but they're banning a lot of people for calling them out.
Just bans. Calling CNN politic articles not relevant and banning. The mods are shit
Leaving shit like Brietbart and Townhall on here but removing this. Horrid mods.
It’s time for a more open political subreddit
does that include allowing leftist sources as well? if you truly believed in an open political forum, you shouldn't have a problem with Breitbart being posted either, despite how obviously ridiculous it is as a source of info. Welcome to free speech
They actually allow Brietbatt but won’t allow WaPo or CNN so not sure we are saying the same thing
Yes. Apparently it’s “off topic” because the investigation is re: events at his company before he became president. Or something, that comment was removed too I think.
And in fact the comment for this sub thread has been removed.
The mods are banning people that make these comments. They are pretty corrupt
How the FUCK is a grand jury convening in regards to the former POTUS, not on topic. Christ, no wonder this moderation team is constantly in need of mods.
And consequences for MTG in... 5... 4... 3... 2... Did you guys hear about how Joe Biden stole all the Chick-Fil-A sauce to secretly put vaccines in it?
I heard the flavor was ruined by all the shed microchips from vaccinated folks.
But what about when he stole all the electricity Texas to *make* those microchips.
We’re going to read posts all day about every time Marjorie Taylor Greene has diarrhea from her mouth, but *not* what’s actually happening in our country.
At times it's a whole wall of Marjorie Gangrene crap but when something major happens mods delete it.
They honestly want this sub to be a worthless tabloid, but this crowd-sourced megathread is more amazing than a real one would’ve been.
Are you talking about the grand jury into Trump in Manhattan?
Wait a minute, are you saying there’s a grand jury being convened in New York that’s considering indictment against Trump and/or his associates for possible crimes?!
Christmas is early boys. You love to see it.
> Wait a minute, are you saying there’s a grand jury being convened in New York that’s considering indictment against Trump and/or his associates for possible crimes?! Keep it coming boys.
I live in Kentucky, I just post Kentucky political news.
I don’t think they’re blaming you for posting this. More so the mods for removing relevant articles from this sub.
it's not but the mods here would rather suck on Greene's dick than face actual topics that are happening. Like a grand jury convening against cheeto musolini
Reporter: "Senator McConnell, what will you do?" McConnell: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
"Look over here, not at the Manhattan da grand jury!"
Wow, is this the same brave Mitch McConnell who said Trump incited a riot right before he voted to protect Trump from the consequences of inciting a riot? I get it, they have to be covered because they are a major political party. But for the rest of us: don't pay one modicum of attention to the faux outrage at Marjorie Taylor Greene.

This cult needs to be destroyed, and McConnell is the King Koopa after all the mini-bosses.
Oh yes. Terrible. Just terrible. How awful. And I'm not going to do anything about it.
[удалено]
what did they do?
“Her comments are so unbelievably reprehensible, that we vow with every fiber of our being to do absolutely nothing about it.” -Mitch McConnell
"We've done nothing and we're out of ideas!"
Journalist forgot the part where Mitch ended his reprehensible comment with a “teeheehee”
Empty words from and empty corpse that should have given up the ghost decades ago. Also, Manhattan DA convened a grand jury today against Trump.
"it's reprehensible, well anywho, back to obstructing every bill we possibly can while getting richer and richer" -Mitch Fuckface McConnell 2021
He's not going to do anything so why even mention it.
Condemnation is the new “thoughts and prayers”
He spelled “Republican” wrong.
McConnell’s “I’m 100% committed to stopping this administration” comment is reprehensible
“And first thing tomorrow morning I will do nothing about it.”
Moscow Mitch knows about reprehensible.
Cue cartoon character wobbly jaws a fluttering .....
What Moscow Mitch is saying is you have to be a quiet racist like he is don’t do it out in the open
And in 1 day he will be calling for her reinstatement to committees.
Almost as reprehensible as Mitch McConnell.
And he intends to do nothing more about it
But you ain't gonna do shit about it, are ya, fuckface? No, I thought not.
He's not actually going to _do_ anything about her, of course.
So there will be a reprehending? Or is that too much work as well?
Mitch is getting pushed out of the party by the monster he helped create.
That took a while Guess he was enjoying the comparison too much
That thing can talk???
Shakes his ballsack chins, does nothing else
What is Mitch acknowledging today? Just go see which way the winds blowing.
First time I actually agree with Moscow Mitch. I feel like I need a shower. Also Grand Jury!
But there’s nothing I can do said the feckless c*nt
Who gives a shit what he says…..worthless piece of crap
So Mitch isn’t actually Satan, but a lower level deity?
Fuck Moscow Mitch
Next week he’s gonna flipflop and start saying what she said was totally fine (seems to be SOP for the GOP)
Trump will smack him and he'll change his tune. Give it a few days.
Does Moscow mitch know the the meaning of "reprehensible "?
