It does seem as though these kinds of threads vanish more on weekends and holidays. It will be interesting to see if it reappears tomorrow.

I only saw the original post. So much for freedom of speech. Trump is probably calling for a congressional investigation of us.

Is my "what in the world" post that the one you all are talking about? If so, I can see it, can't you?

Nope...I just looked without signing in and it's gone. I'm going to talk to Tamara tomorrow to see why this is happening.

In the meantime...here it is so far...

I have never ever in my entire life hated a man like I hate him. He and his leaches are the most evil people this country has ever been faced against.

I concur, Lukk. I am outraged at him calling Obama "bad, sick". When Obama has so graciously held his tongue. But of course.

I would imagine that a branch of the govt was investigating T&team's contact with a foreign power during the campaign, (and rightly so, as it may have been treasonous) probably did wire tap.

In July 2016, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack accused Donald Trump of encouraging the Russian government to hack the email of Hillary Clinton, Trump's opponent in the 2016 presidential election. Several other Democratic Senators claimed Trump's comments appeared to violate the Logan Act.[17][18]Laurence Tribe, a professor of constitutional law at Harvard Law School, also commented on the incident saying, "Trump's "jokes" inviting an adversary to wage cyberwar against the U.S. appear to violate the Logan Act and might even constitute treason."[19]

On December 29, 2016, retired lieutenant general Michael T. Flynn, President-elect Trump's pick for national security adviser, spoke with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, the exact same day the Obama administration announced retaliatory measures in response to Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.[20] At the time, Acting US Attorney General Sally Yates, along with senior national security officials suspected that Flynn might have violated the Logan Act with those conversations.[21] On February 13, 2017, Flynn resigned from the position of National Security Advisor.[22]

Best to turn the anger into positive action. Do you have a republican congressperson or state representative? Work to vote them out of office in the next election. It's the only way.

Everyday is a new ridiculous plot twist in a political satire. But, IT'S OUR REAL GOVERNMENT. I can't think about it too much because it is terrifying.

It is appalling, isn't it? One can only hope that hubris & our tradition of the rule of law will be the downfall of such a deeply disturbing agenda. It will take time, tho & the uncertainty is almost excruciating, while it seems a lot of destruction to our democracy is being executed in haste before the hammer falls.

Hoovb, that's exactly what I'm going to do. My boss has become pretty active in this fight and I intend to speak with her tomorrow about joining her.

Mtn, I told my husband months ago that I KNEW deep inside that he was working with the Russians to secure his win. It would surprise me if he actually wasn't. It only makes sense that other agencies would be investigating him, not just for the items you mentioned above but because of all his conflicts of interest.

It is amazing that the French are calling for Obama to be their leader now. Although the idea is kind of silly, it speaks volumes as to just how much that man and his family are loved all over this world. "When they go low, we go high" and so he does, that's why he's so respected by the people in this world who really matter. Personally, I hope that he decides to start helping as a "private citizen" to get this evil neanderthal out of office. He could really really bring so many more people together if he did.

I miss President Obama more with each passing moment....and tweet.

Maybe we can get Houzz to censor trump and to delete his tweets.

I heard something on the news that included the phrase, "And from the White House....." and in a moment of glorious amnesia, I pictured President Obama and waited for the rest of the story. It's like being sucker punched when reality hit me.

Iowacommute's thread asking us simply to send pink postcards to the WH on March 15 (sending him a pink slip to say "You're fired!") was also removed shortly after she posted it. It didn't have very many posts.

Lukki, please let us know what Tamara says. It seems our Trump supporters post in political threads so it would be hypocritical for them to complain. So it could just be someone who follows the link from the main page. Don't ever put his name in the title of the thread (or Ivanka's or Melania's)!

I will Mayflowers.

Somebody may've flagged it for review by moderators.Thinking that's why no one but lukkiirish can still see it...?

"Pink Slips for the Orange One" is still here if you search for it.

I posted on the pink slip thread to try to bump it up, but apparently that doesn't work any more???

Here's the link: http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4480926/pink-slips-for-the-orange-one

terriks-the link says it's no longer found. Hmmm

The "What in the world" post is still there. I can see it.

http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4493737/what-in-the-world?n=5

terriks-the link says it's no longer found. Hmmm

The plot thickens...

I had actually googled for it before, and now I get page not found

I saw it when you bumped it, terri. So it's been flagged for the second time.

I was able to open the link pudgeder just posted - the 'What in the World"

I see "What in the World" now. It was definitely gone earlier today. And now it has appeared. Weird.

And Pink Slips is back.

I think if anyone is flagging for kicks they should get a GW time-out.

Over on antique roses a political thread was removed as well.

What is it with those Trump supporters?

Somebody at GW likes trumper?

hmm I just tried to open Pal's thread and it says file not found

I can still see it, Boopadaboo, even after I refresh the page.

Some people object strongly to anything even remotely political, so I don't immediately chalk it up to spite....

Yes, that's true, carolb, but it is spite of a sort. There are plenty of things that get discussed here that don't interest me, but you can always just skip those threads if you don't care for the subject. To say that "I decide what will be discussed here, so poof! goes your thread," seems to me both spiteful and arrogant.

yes now it is back. so strange I tried multiple times and kept getting that error of page not found when I clicked on it.

It could be that someone reported it, you clicked, and then the person had a change of heart but you continued to get the cached "gone" message.

Boop, the same thing happened to me with Pal's post. In fact, I indignantly posted a comment about it and after my post loaded, Pal's appeared again. Someone needs to calm down about the political posts. Or find another forum.

I haven't reached out to Tamara because the threads have returned. I don't believe they are being sensored or flagged. I think the moderators are keeping a closer watch just to ensure that things remain civil and people respect each others opinions.
