First things first…. It is important to identify protection and favor when it surfaces. CTH is not only thankful for our ability to be faithful stewards to our community, but at this specific inflection point we are thankful to God for his providence. CTH stands steadfast!
Was it not for the notification and deplatforming in November, and the inspired members of the Rebel Alliance that came to our aid, we may not have survived the past 24 hours.
Thank you. We are humble and steadfast to our mission. Ever faithful.
To the larger CTH community, we are fortunate to have an anti-fragile system in place to withstand the deplatforming currently underway by Big Tech. So-far, so-good, fingers crossed.
Two recent features are interconnected. (1) There is now an internal flagging system in the comment section to draw attention to content that is outside guidelines. (2) Admins now have enhanced moderation tools to intercept that content.
With the enhanced focus of Big Tech to find justification, including in the comment sections of websites, to take down voices of the Rebel Alliance – it is unfortunately critical that we hold strong filters in place for tone and comment content at the moment.
As a reminder, here are the general guidelines for comments:
“Seek first to understand, then to be understood”.
1.) First, please READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD – and the full text of any discussion thread you wish to participate in.
Skipping to the comments to express an opinion without reading the content of the discussion is not helpful.
Often, unfortunately quite often, we find many of the points injected into comments are already outlined in the construct of the thread itself; questions asked while the answers are in the primary post.
2.) STAY ON TOPIC – please do not post something unrelated to the specific matter and content of the thread subject. There is a ALWAYS a daily open thread available for any subject you feel should get attention. Never place unrelated, “O/T”, or “Off Topic” comments on a thread unrelated to the topic. It is not ok to say: “sorry, O/T but”… or any iteration therein, it is actually quite rude.
The Treehouse operates on the ‘old school‘ standards and practices of civil discourse amid the original blogging community.
3.) NARROW YOUR THOUGHTS – Quality beats quantity. Please construct your comments to target specific areas and not broad generalizations about the discussion topic at hand. If you have four or five disconnected points, break them up into individual comments.
4.) AVOID GENERALIZATIONS – Do NOT speak in riddles. Words like “he, she, they, it, them” should rarely be used. Spell out “who” using the name, spell out who “they” are at the beginning of every sentence in your paragraph; so that there is clarity as to who you are talking about. Avoid using acronyms.
5.) BLOCK PARAGRAPHS – Do not post huge blocks of text. Think of the reader, and modify your presentation for understanding, not for exclaiming. Do not write to yourself, you are writing to others, so please structure your thoughts so other people can grasp and enjoy. NEVER post massive blocks of text without paragraph breaks. In the current comment system hit the return twice to put two lines between your paragraphs; when the comment posts it will only show on space.
Do not post huge blocks of text
6.) PARAGRAPHS – Should NEVER be longer than two or three sentences taking up three to five standard lines of text. Again, you are writing to be understood, the emphasis should be on the reader comprehending what you are sharing.
Do not post huge blocks of text
7.) SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION – This is not school and we do not demerit for poor spelling, nor do we allow anyone to call others out for the same. However, if your construct is too poorly written the context is lost and important details can be missed. Read the comment carefully before you send it. Proofread it again. Does it make sense?
8.) TIME – Everyone ‘s time is valuable. Many of our discussion threads are 500 to 1,000+ comments long. We try to limit the comments to 500 and then post another related thread, but with some research threads it is challenging to do so because we do not want to break a continuity.
9) CITATIONS – There’s a big difference between an opinion and an assertion of fact. Feel free to provide opinions; however, if you are making an assertion of fact you must attach a citation for review. If you do not have a citation – don’t post; this avoids spreading rumors, gossip and unfounded claims. Also related, do not post links without an explanation of the reason, purpose and content that is behind the link.
10.) THOUSANDS ARE WATCHING – For every person writing a comment, there are easily hundreds of thousands of reading lurkers on every discussion thread. There are thousands of CTH readers and a community reach of well over 15 million/mo. Do not write anything you would not say in your own living room. Do not disparage our conversation with vulgarity, profanity, or any expressions of any “ism”.
11.) MODERATION / FILTERING THE HATE – Because of our honest approach at seeking facts and truth, and openly discussing various analytical theories along the way, we are bombarded by those with ulterior motives which include:
- Intentional efforts to distract
- Intentional diatribes to affix labels to our objectives
- Intentional expressions of rabid hate, vulgarity, and threats.
- Trolling and professional obfuscation.
- Concern Trolling as a tool of distraction and derailing conversation.
- Psy-ops and intentional efforts to diminish fact-finding.
We do our earnest best to stop the agenda-horde at the moderation gates, however sometimes they get through. If you see something untoward say something. When a new comment surfaces that we view is likely presented only to argue, we watch carefully – but we also are not perfect. You can help. Feel free to flag or alert us via email.
12.) MANNERS MATTER – Simple kindnesses and courtesy should always be present in tone and content. When writing, ask yourself before you hit send: does this add value?
13.) NO PERSONAL ATTACKS – Ever. The fastest way to lose commenting privileges is to ridicule, bully or personally attack another person’s opinion or comment. Unfortunately people, often good people, let their passion interfere with good manners and personal judgement. If you cannot be polite or respectful, pause – and – do not comment.
14.) TONE and HONESTY – Often the information and research CTH provides are about challenges we face and/or events that are hidden from larger review. It can be frustrating to see the scale of corruption; however, only you control how that information is absorbed by you. The truth doesn’t care about our feelings. Try to keep an even keel and optimistic disposition.
15.) DEVICES – It is a reality that many people use their phones to browse information and/or comment. Cellular phones and iPads are okay for reading, but also present challenges in commenting. Please make every effort to avoid the run-on issue of text from these devices. Put extra spaces in your paragraphs. Also remember your service provider (ISP) may have filters to limit the websites they permit you to view. It’s not CTH, nine out of ten issues are related to your service provider. This issue is worse in 2020 for obvious reasons.
We are working to build-out enhancements to the current platform that will make phone and tablet users have a better experience while retaining the overall theme.
SUMMARY: The Tree House community has historically accomplished a lot. Through exhaustive research and analysis our accuracy and reputation for truthful fact-finding, regardless of where it leads, is well regarded. Retain that distinction of intellectual armament.
We are The Conservative Tree House, not because of political affiliation, but rather because the word “conservative” expresses our outlook. We would rather be deep, than wide; we would rather be honest, than popular; we avoid semantics in favor of accurately presenting both intention and meaning.
We are bold in our willingness to go into conversational places where others do not, and we are brave enough to stand firm for principles which are time tested.
We would rather advertise our outlook, so the viewer can understand our perspective on a particular subject, than deceptively claim we are something else and deliver an inherently biased view. The entire spectrum of the MSM is based on the latter.
Every reader knows where we stand on any given issue, and our opinions -while they may be unpopular- are based on solid research and analytical insight into the subject matter at hand. This is why our predictive analysis is routinely more accurate than others.
Lastly, this Treehouse is a conversation. Hopefully, just like sitting on a porch with friends. Because the “conversation” is the ends and not the means, this approach inherently means YOU are important; do not diminish yourself:
[Remember] …”However each of us got here, it’s probably a fact that we have the turmoil of those storms in common, perhaps some unease that we could share and always, we also find fresh ground to cover from day to day.
We’re developing valuable relationships as we trust one another in our community in the woods. The chatting in the branches encourages, strengthens and equips for some serious walking.
We think the Treehouse is a good intellectual armory for those who doing long distance walking for the sake of our nation. We hope you’ll think so, too. Find yourself a good branch….or just pull up a rock to the campfire”.
Wolverines faithfully patrol the perimeter.
Humor is good way to avoid fear. Be kind and please be respectful… Manners really do matter… after all, this is a fellowship. We are stewards. The Rebel Alliance is strong.
Throughout history large armies have been defeated through the process of division.
It is not a leap to see the same strategic objectives being deployed against social assemblies, on-line communities, and even religious congregations.
The bond of fellowship is needed more than ever.
Each of us has a different connection to our community. Each of us has a different level of internal strength… such is the nature of living. However, the distance between people is manifestly not a good outcome when combined with the lack of food for the soul.
The control mechanisms of social media was already troublesome; physically distancing from human engagement only worsens the impact. There is no digital or virtual replacement for the true fellowship of humanity on a personal level.
Ultimately it is the currency of human connection that is the true value in our lives.
We have each felt how our positive influence upon the lives of others nourishes our own sense of purpose and fulfillment… Do not lose that. Do not think you can compensate for that through other arbitrary measures; you cannot.
Give the gift of hope and light to those you love by first reminding yourself of the gift that a loving God has given us all. It is too easy in our human sense to forget the biggest gift we have been granted, the gift of life. The ability to live and choose how we engage in the lives of others.
Remind yourself of the kind of purposeful HOPE that would leave a throne to be born into a manger as a baby only to grow into a Man willing to lay down His everything for the wretchedness of humanity.
No politics or false sense of security can overwhelm the message of HOPE that a loving God has provided. No effort of man or human disposition can surmount the greatest love of all. “No power of hell, nor scheme of man” can come close to the purpose of God’s intent and love for you as a unique person qualified to receive that love.
Stand steadfast in faith and the Rebel Alliance will thrive.
Is TCTH free of their tyranny or can they get at you with their censorship?
We are outside the reach of Big Tech.
We are outside the reach of Google Inc.
We are stable and steadfast.
Well done, Sir!
And everyone involved.
God, did work in mysterious ways in November…..
Twas a blessing in disguise.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28
I am so very thankful to hear it. What a day!
You ARE the last refuge right now.
Excellent!!!
Great job protecting this site from these fascists…
Thank you for your determination and tenacity..
Yes, keep calling them fascists. They hate that much more than they do be called communists and it fits at least as well.
TOTALITARIAN.
Thank you Sundance!!!!
Sundance, I first joined CTH in 2015/2016 right after the first Republican Presidential Debate. You made CTH a home for me and a platform where I could connect with other Conservatives.
And I just want to say Thank you! For taking the time and effort to maintain CTH and gave a Conservatives like me who live in deep blue jungle of San Francisco a home!
The fight ahead won’t be easy, but because of you and CTH we’ve become something greater! And to that… Thank you!
Thank you Sundance. I have been struggling with the current events and this site, and the people in it, have been a true refuge. For that, I am thankful tonight. Thank you.
Thank you Sundance
I just messaged Gateway Pundit to reach out to CTH in the event they run into same issue.
They spread the word in November when we found out you got the notice from Wuhan Press.
Please tell Hoft to stop linking to twitter.
This is good to know Sundance! I was concerned about this issue too. Thanks for all that you do in providing good reading material.
Hallelujah! See, God works ALL things for good to those who love Him and are the called according to His purpose.
Thank you Sundance for all your work to provide us this platform and your tireless effort to expose it all. God bless you and all the treepers.
TRUTH HAS NO AGENDA!
You are out of reach from big tech but not outside the reach of big government. I would not be celebrating just yet. Government in it’s current state could shut us down “under threat to democracy”. Expect the unexpected.
Yes, seen a few places stating internet will go dark for awhile. Not sure about power. But a storm is brewing.
If such a shutdown occurs, I wonder if that would be done selectively. Just individual accounts, or large private companies like law firms? Most law firms in the Seattle area have 75% of their work forces working remotely due to the state’s C19 restrictions.
By the way, Perkins Coie’s largest office is in Seattle. Remember them? I think they also have an office in China. Shutting down 75% of PC’s work force for ten days would create major problems.
What a shame.
Many Blessings. Thank you
Thank the Lord. Now we can pray some other alternative sites can do the same thing. We still need time to develop adequate means of communication that the big techs of the world cannot take away, easily at least.
Blessings come at all times when we least expect them. Thanks to you SD and crew!!
THANK YOU!!
We would be lost without CTH!
Who knew the Nov. deplatforming would be a silver lining today!
(But, I would call it a gold lining!)
Just be careful. Those depraved misanthrope #astards will try to think of something.
What comment has had the most upvotes ever? I would imagine this one.
Bravo. We must be alert though for provocateurs looking to seed our comment section with poster material
Thank you so very much. Utterly stoked.
Interestingly I was at a meeting of another fellowship this evening, and we read from a book called “ language of the heart”
The topic gleaned was pertinent to so much that I experience here.
Frankly acceptance has been a challenge of late.
I have stayed focused, upbeat for the most part and “Shazam “ a great meeting, and a great post upon getting home.
Thank you all
Thank you Dekester for having concern for our nation as you do.
Cheers Moderate Man,
PDJT is doing this for America and the rest of us poor saps around the world that are ruled by infantile sociopaths.
Tens of millions world are grateful.
God bless PDJT
God Bless, Sundance Please let us know if/when your techies are willing to package and sell the system they constructed for you, because many I am sure would be willing to purchase it for their own various website topics, not necessarily political, but which might run afoul of the coming tyrannical censors. (And you deserve to become immensely wealthy for your decade of efforts.)
To everyone else: please take heart. Big Tech is about to make itself irrelevant. It may have monopolized much of the internet but… If the electric companies never had been treated as public utilities and after gaining unique government permissions and easements to spread their cabling systems through public and private lands that they did not own — and then decided arbitrarily to refuse service to people they did not like, what would happen. If the government was corrupt and allowed this, alternate industries would arise to fill the void.
Please: Ditch twitter — unsubscribe and do not use. Ditch Facebook. Ditch your IPhones. Refuse “apps”, none of which are necessary in your life. Get your businesses off of “clouds” — it is dangerous and it in fact is not that difficult to back up your data, and use alternate sharing systems. Refuse to use zoom. Teach your computer illiterate family and friends how to type a URL (it is beyond easy to create your own list, kept on a desktop shortcut word processing document — swipe, copy, paste, even if you don’t have active links.) The tech companies have reached the point at which they are mostly offering gimmicks, none of which are necessary for communication. In the 90s, I ran scores of listserves for activists and businesses some with many thousands of members each. Communication does not require fancy. Over time many left for what were essentially non-private, regulated “Google Groups”. Usenet once worked for millions. Then people wanted blogs with comment platforms. And Big Tech grabbed all. NONE of these consumer products offerings (versus other things they are doing, some nefarious, are all that “high tech” (what is “high tech” is often what is going on behind the scenes where you yourself are the product).
If anyone has suggestions re: email accounts (I want to get off gmail), phones (how do I ditch apple/iphones), etc., please share!
Thank you.
How ironic.
By being THE top site, CTH merited SPECIAL attention, resulting in moving early, and hence able to set up in a secure manner,….God sure has a great sense of humor!
I wonder if someone, somewhere is getting their *ss chewed, ….
“And just WHO’S idea was it, to deplatform CTH, and give them two weeks notice?
If we had just waited till we did everyone else, we could have shut them down, you idiot!”
Let us pray, they do not find a way!
Amen
If Trump was unpopular and conservatism were outside the mainstream, They would not be over reacting. They know they can set the initial narrative with the corporate MSM. But then it implodes as the truth bubbles to the surface. Nancy needs to rush impeachment with no debate because the videos of no rioting, no destruction, no fires, and cops opening the doors are coming out. They need to get the vote done quick. And then they need Mitch to have a quick kangaroo court with no defense from the President. Both wings of the uniparty want him out of the picture for good. Mitch prolly told Nancy that he has the votes to remove. But does he have enough that will throw away their careers? What if the internal polling boomerangs on them? They always think that they can bring Trump down and it backfires. Americans dont like Kangaroo Courts. Call your Senators!
I smell fear. And panic.
They are surely afraid that PDJT will somehow expose and thwart them before Faux Joe and True Ho get sworn in.
I smell sadism and confidence that they can implement FULL FASCISM.
That too.
They gotta get Faux Joe and True Ho in the door first, and that’s where their fear lies.
What is coming is “totalitarianism”.
Right. They didn’t get hysterical when Bernie almost coopted the Dem party. (Of course, Trump can’t be bought off with a few bucks and a vacation house.)
Thank you for your response.
Would not do any good, we live under “dictator” Cuomo and Schumer (ug) is our senator.
They can get at many of us because many have important documents and emails, some of us over many years, on their platform.
Act accordingly.
So grateful this place is secure (fingers crossed), SD. It’s a jungle out there.
“It makes me wonder how I keep from going under..”
couldn’t resist
Donald J Trump (@realdonaldtrump) / Gab Social
loading slowly though…maybe high demand?
Hopefully President Trump will post on CTH!
It started to slow up this afternoon but is much worse now. Could be volume related as they are gaining large numbers of new members every day. I can’t even load new posts tonight. Hope it settles soon.
Have other Treepers seen Mike Lindell’s video from I presume earlier today? In it he makes assurances that President Trump WILL be president for four more years and that there is massive evidence about to be dropped that will completely destroy those against him. I’m praying that he is correct.
There are others out there saying the same. It is a matter of time. President Trump is not a quitter and he has all the dirt on these traitors. I find it hard to believe that he will just walk away and leave the garbage behind. Now that he has nothing to lose, he is the most dangerous to the swamp which is why they are pushing the 25th Amendment and impeachment. I mean the guy has 12 days, what could possibly happen in 12 days? Hehe. He has accomplished more in 4 years than almost every President in my lifetime. They know they are in deep doodoo and are trying to stop the bleeding. Too late. Godspeed my President. Let it be done.
The sheer panic that they are displaying is enlightening.
Sundance, I know that you believe you’re beyond their reach now, but dirty tricks are their specialty. Hopefully, and God willing, this situation is only temporary because Trump may have planned it to go this way for our benefit. We will see. Bless you!
Believe me, they will try to destroy all that progress as quickly as possible.
I’ll believe it when, and if, I see it. We’ve been burned so much in the past two months.
Past 2 months? We’ve been getting burned by the deep state, big tech, media and the rhinos for at least the last 15-20 years
Honestly!!
No kidding.
A little off topic, but anyone looking to support Lindell’s business, the promo code is “q” sans quotations. 40% off. It gave me a good laugh. The video and promo code may be entirely unrelated, but it does make one wonder…
We are supporting businesses that support our President – to the greatest extent possible for our household and personal needs. Neither of us is on any social media platform. We read here and at other sites where reliability is the highest priority. We are doing the same with our consumables: purchase from patriots.
We support Mike Lindell’s business. Married for decades and we’ve been replacing the old stuff with new from his product line. The merch is excellent. Mike runs many sales to keep them affordable, and he’s continuing to add more products to the line all the time.
Mike Lindell’s business is one of the few from which I have not already bailed from retail email mass mail lists.
Just for fun, even though it’s not Cursday – our two dogs LOVE their new “My Pillow” dog beds that Santa brought. They use them as daytime nap loungers. Hard to refer to them as dog beds because the dogs sleep on the people beds at night.
Please, this kind of statement has been repeated over and over and over for years now. The value of giving false hope has reached the end. Nothing more of information that isn’t proven to be happening right at the moment it’s referenced or that already has happened. None of us, with exhausted emotions and nerves from this last few days and the assaults we are receiving as we speak via censorship on steroids, can handle more predictions that never come true.
Not trying to offend you personally Olddawg, really I’m not, but the ability to keep hearing we are going to right this ship SOON with no actual action apparent in that direction is just about the most painful thing I and probably many others, can experience right now.
I’m feeling the same way. I’m wishing these rumors are true and that my hope is strongly founded. Your post has expressed my concerns and I don’t mean to disparage Old Dawg. I guess it must be true that misery loves company, as I, too, have felt pretty miserable the last few days. I don’t want any false hope. The Mike Pence knife in the back really has been too painful.
Endure with me until January 20. Just twelve more days. We can do that. Any time I think I can’t, I start wondering where our President is, what he himself must be enduring right now, how he might be mulling over those could have’s, should have’s…
Not trying to lecture here. Just sayin’ how I’m handling this for myself.
Amen and well said.
When it comes to such posts, Joe Friday it; just the facts.
Otherwise, any such talk, what Sundance calls “hope porn”, I now automatically ASSUME is disinfo, I don’t care the alleged source.
I now believe the story that McChrystal has a psyops operation going, and it is cranking out such material, and has been from day one.
All the “trust the plan”, back to Sessions. Remember the “30,000 sealed indictments”, the Trump campaign plane leaving Little rock, crammed with material from Clintons,…
Allthe stories involving military intelligence,…and yes “Q” were bs. Psyops, to gyn us up, while remaining inactive, only to cause despondency ultimately.
IMHO, lets not do the enemies work for them.
And thank you Jesus, hopefully we will see no more links to twatter, in the comments section!
Hope for the best; plan for the worst.
is there a link to that video?
Nothing against you personally, and I don’t know who mike Lindell is, but I don’t believe a word of that. We all want a hail mary, but it ain’t coming. This is like the “Hillary arrest imminent” rumors.
I thought a lot about why Hillary was seemingly allowed to get away with it. If this was a treasonous act in this election cycle, and it really seems like it was, and PDJT had reason to wait. Don’t lose hope. It may be that this HAD TO happen in order to clean house bigly.
Chuckling, but c’mon people – off topic much? Did we read the text of Sundance’s post?
Mike Lindell is the owner of the “My Pillow” Com[any. He spoke at several rallies.
What? You don’t own a ‘My Pillow’? /s ?
Link?
Pray that you inherit a billion dollars from an uncle you never knew you had. You probably got a better chance that way.
Ben Carson is the only other candidate from the 2016 GOP field who I thought was worth a damn. A good, good man.
I liked Rand Paul.
But do you still? I don’t think he had/has the president’s back, more like holding a knife to it.
Unlike most of these greaseballs in the GOP, Rand Paul has paid a price for his beliefs.
Huckabee’s not too shabby.
And I will never forget the interchange that occurred between President Trump and Ben at the beginning of the debates. Ben got confused about hearing his name to go on stage and the President who was a newcomer to the debate arena also, graciously stood to the side with Ben as he regained his composure. I always will remember that personal concern for Mr Carson from Donald Trump.
Ben Carson…a man I truly admire for so many reasons…his tweet you cite is simply icing on that cake.
A good message from a good man. Loved him from the first time he spoke up in front of the political elite 5 years ago. He was my first choice as a candidate back then. Thank you sir for standing by America and PTrump.
Especially when so many are abandoning the president, and there is no “benefit” to standing up for him. God bless Dr. Carson for his true loyalty and defense of truth.
Mine too. But as Jennie referenced above, the night that several other GOP candidates swooshed past Dr. Carson in their “me first” conduct, was the night I first took Candidate Donald Trump seriously. That one act of kindness and generosity told us more about him than the entire debate event told us about all 400 or so candidates blabbing on the stage for two hours.
Remember the debate where they left Ben Carson just standing off stage and President Trump stood with him until he was acknowledged.
Stay frosty Treepers. We must be observant, for the enemy is cunning and seeking to devour the unwary.
It’s treason season.
Harvest should be plentiful!
I think it goes down this weekend. What do you think?
I think so.
I believe that more with each passing hour.
Perfectly legal for him to install a server in his bathroom. Its been proved by Hilary.
HA !
gold-plated
Good grief. He’s still the President!
This is just unbelievable. The assault on him is historical. I hope he goes biblical on them all. If nothing else, it will redpill those who don’t do politics because this is just communism, plain and simple.
The assault on US. There I fixed it for ya.
It really is a coup. On the entire structure of our form of government by the very members of the government we were under the illusion we had voted in, to represent our interests. How crazy is that! The only ones that didn’t know our form of government had died was us, the voters, and President Trump! I marvel at his strength to endure what he must have known for a long time and still carry forth finding ways to put America first.
Prayers continue for guidance and all that is needed for the Treehouse and Sundance and all the moderators and crew are blessed to always be several steps ahead for these coming days and years.
Dictators around the world are taking notes. Democrats have perfected the art of the coup.
Have any GOPers spoken out about today’s assault on democracy and the American people?
Well, I saw Lindsy Graham laugh at us in the airport today if that counts.
They are turning Trump into a legend.
He already was. Now he is bigger.
That must burn them to no end, envious of the sort of adoration that will never be theirs to experience.
That is absolutely beyond my comprehension.
Do they want to push people to act as the IRA did?
Yes, because then it gives them the excuse needed to do what they really want to do and still have their sycophants remain ignorant, believing that only ‘fascists’ are being put down, away, or wherever it is they imagine they are about. At least, that’s what it looks like.
I believe the reason Trump’s team has not emailed everybody like usual is that the Trump staffer responsible for preparing emails has not yet had the time to scrub away the donation link to the RNC at the end of every email.
However, this is just an educated guess from me.
According to GP, the email service for the Campaign, shut down their email account, deleted everything, so they CAN’T email.
But DONJR has set up a website, and is inviting people to sign up.
The swampers have finally figured out that they are surrounded and outnumbered.
We will find him. We need to make donations where none goes to the RNC
Thank you Sundance for everything you do for us and our country. You are truly a patriot.
the “party” would only have never-trumpers 500-1000 at most. That’s a decimal point .0001
What party?
The one that would be an asterisk starting in 2024, maybe in 2022, and remain that until time itself came to an end.
I don’t understand Cerno’s disjointed comment.
CERNOVICH: If he pardons anyone else’s they will convict him.
wait til he releases what he has on them.
They are STUPIDLY playing chess.
SUCH TIME WASTERS WHILE EATING…CAKE.
Yup, it’s about to go BIBLICAL!
They are panicked and people who panic make stupid moves.
He can release his pardons on Jan 20 at 7a.m. They cannot impeach him in 5 hours. Call their bluff.
Obviously McConnell knows the fix is in and the House is likely to rush through their Article of Impeachment in the next few days so it will be waiting in the Senate for action. Cernovich seems to be implying that McConnell knows he has the 17 Republican votes required to obtain the necessary 67 (two-thirds) to convict. But even if the Senate is convened on the 20th, waiting and sitting there to convict, which is unlikely because most of them will be attending the inauguration proceedings, Trump can time his pardons in such a way they will be unable to act.
Regardless of what happens, all of these Republicans are politically dead in the water. They are irrelevant and have already destroyed their worthless party.
Assuming that this true and not Cerno-baiting, let me take a stab at it:
1) Interesting pardons = Assange and anyone else who might be able to expose the corrupt intelligence community.
2) McConnell is basically telling POTUS:
” If you pardon these people, we will impeach you.”
3) Yes. That is blackmail. But it gets worse.
“If you pardon these people, we will impeach you. And that will be suicide for us, the REPUBLICAN PARTY, to impeach you, so don’t put us in that position.”
So McConnell, after just stabbing Trump in the back and destroying the Republican Party in the process, is now threatening him with impeachment unless he does what McConnell wants and whining that it would destroy the party if Trump “puts” the party in that position.
At least that is my interpretation.
Couldn’t he do as many other POTUSes have, issue pardons so late the POtus is practically walking out the door?
NO time to have impeachment in House AND Senate Trial.
They have to have a trial and allow the POTUS time to defend. Too late to do that after he pardons someone like Assange.
Yep, and since he won’t be at the fake inauguration, he’ll have extra time to sign them ALL!
did it myself, deleted, ’cause, off topic!
Yes.
I think he is saying tha they are holding him hostage. He can’t do anything b/c they will impeach him and the Senate will ensure that he doesn’t do anything on his way out. His only leverage is that they will essentially self destruct the party.
Wouldn’t Harris be the 51-50 vote? Are they saying Manchin wouldn’t vote that way? I am confused.

Earliest the Senante would vote would be on Jan 20th defeating the point.

Why would Harris be the tie breaker? She is a Senator but Mike Pence is still the VP.
And how do we think Pence would vote at this point?
To convict in the Senate following the House’s impeachment, 67 votes will be required – two-thirds, not a majority is required. Harris isn’t a factor because she won’t become President of the Senate until Trump is already gone.
I’m not sure I get it. The Senate has to allow him a defense.
Legal question: Can a potus issue a pardon 5 minutes before Biden puts his hand on that Bible and asshole Roberts reads the oath?
I’m with you on the defense thing, they can’t dispense with process, Nancy hasn’t burned the Constitution yet, I’m wondering if this is Psyops, maybe hoping to create another massing of persons for Antifa to exploit?
I don’t think there’s any limit whatsoever on pardons or any other legal action before Xiden begins his doddering reign.
I just found out they can impeach in House and convict in Senate AFTER he leaves office!
?
Yep! The Government Party is deeply, deeply, panicked about something that we are not privy to.
Possibly something coming out of the Foreign Interference report just released a day ago by Radcliffe, or maybe something pertaining to the vanished story about the seizure of the Dominion servers in Frankfort, Germany.
Yes.
Yes,
If Biden puts his hand on the Bible at inauguration, he will be Lying to every American, if he says the Oath!
He’s already lied to us all and will never stop.
In swearing an oath falsely, he lies to God.
The party already IS split, though I’d say not in HALF (more like 4/5 MAGA, 1/5 RINO).
You’re referring to ‘the little people’ here… just sayin.’
the “pa4ty” wouldn’t only have never trumpets 500-1000 at most. That’s a decimal point .0001
1) I have no idea what your comment even means.
2) What does this Tweet have to do with this thread? Did you not even bother to read the post?
Based on comments I have read on this site today and yesterday, the GOP has already committed suicide. Any further action by ‘the party’ will only add nails to the coffin.
How is this related to the point of this post, part of which talks explicitly of staying on topic?
Not seeing the connection between your comment and the post’s topic.
Thanks.
He could just issue pardons his last morning in office and they wouldn’t have the time to do anything.
At this point why does it matter if they impeach him? They will never let him win in 24 if he chooses to run. Unless the videos floating around are true about the evidence and Italy then maybe stand down but if not then I say pardon whoever you want Mr President, you are the President not them. It is your privilege as such so go for it!
Would be very hard for any of them to vote from GITMO. Last time i checked treason also carries the death penalty.
Splitting and destroying the Republican Party is a bad thing? Haha, I hope it is left in a million pieces and blown away like dust in a hurricane. If nothing else comes of the horrific events this week, the destruction of the Republican Party would make me at least a bit more optimistic about the future.
The GOP is already dead.
As it takes2/3 in the senate to convict that would mean 1/3 of republican in the senate would have to join in the crime against America of the century.
Do they really think they would be any more than a third party if they do that?
Impeached? That word has no meaning anymore. Pardon Assange and Snowden.
These people are beyond the pale They still believe some one outside of the bubble likes them.
Sundance, proof BIG Tech had all this planned for a while!
Concerning block paragraphs. For some reason when I post things composed in an e-mail or other programs I must double space between paragraphs or my text will be bunched together when I paste it here. Sometimes I forget to do so or miss doing so between a paragraph or two.
Concerning security. Seems that your saying that given the current conditions it was a blessing in disguise that WordPress kicked you out when they did.
Triple space between paragraphs always formats properly for me.
Try it next time and see.
WordPress underestimated Sundance and the Rebel Alliance, Hallelujah!
Unfortunately, I have to admit that posting comments, especially copying and pasting comments from other websites, was much easier to do back when Conservative Tree House was still on WordPress.
If you are not familiar, Gab is a truly FREE SPEECH and growing Twttr / Parlr / Zuckbook alternative.
So many are escaping those censoring platforms and opening accounts at Gab that the CEO posted this a couple of hours ago.
I am not on social media at all so excuse my ignorance. Why would people be looking for a Parler alternative
I understand about FB and Twitter
I think there may be some underlying data sharing with Parker, but they deny it… So I’m not sure.
I also read that the fine print on Parker says users agee to being financially liable if lawsuits are brought against it. So it’s a hard no from me.
Supposedly Parler runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), meaning they can pull the plug any time they want. ….and supposedly GAB runs all their own servers.
Parler is a big data mining operation bankrolled by the Mercers. They require your phone number to register, it could come back to bite you if they collude with China in the round-ups.
I understand parler requires joining, and tracks its users. (I could be wrong, because I stay away from that stuff)
Give them Schumer’s phone number! On the other hand China probably has it already. In that case just make one up! No?
Do parler or twitter have the ability to track users’ browsing on their platform when they are logged out? What about tracking your browsing on other sites (guessing they can track your browsing when you’re logged in, but what about if logged out)?
Thanks!
Because Google and Apple are in essence de-platforming them.
How will Gab avoid the same treatment from the totalitarians?
Thanks to everyone for the great replies
Parler is on AWS (Amazon Web Service). The big dummies!!
Gab hosts their own servers. Not perfect but, like the treehouse, outside of the Technogarchs purview.
GAB owns their own servers.
I don’t know if they have apps that can be throttled, but using a browses obviates apps.
Gab own their servers. The only issue they had was when they were black balled by all the normal payment processors like PayPal, Visa and such. They now accept Bitcoin and paper checks for donations or merchandise. They also wrote articles on how to set up and buy Bitcoin to help demystify the process. Gab is like a FB Twitter mix and very easy to use. I did sign up for Parler but found it awkward and not very intuitive.
I remember from a long time ago when the totalitarians went after Gab…Andrew’s team came up with a system whereby they use a distributed system, so there is not an individual server that can be shut down. Various users have the ability to set up their own servers to distribute their own (and others) Gabs. I guess it’s similar to how TOR works.
For one thing Parler requires personal info to join. Your Phone #
Read their Privacy Policy, too. Cookies, tracking, ‘sharing’ your info, etc. Not good!
CTH and Gab truly are privacy friendly sites. Both owners have demonstrated they have the highest integrity.
These two may be the only platforms today that are safe without tracking or censoring (within reason of course).
Parler? Not even if it would help the space program. For the exact reasons you just laid out.
Parler has almost caught up as of a few minutes ago. Gab has been trashed all day. I watched the President more than double his followers in about a hour and a half, he was over 500K last I checked.
Is POtuS on Gab or Parler. I too don’t like giving my phone number so I didn’t sign up for Parler.
Trump has been on GAB as a backup since 2016.
Potus has had an account on Gab since 2016
Thank you for reminding everyone about Gab, JDIN. Quite frankly, I’m a bit puzzled about the whining and outrage over Twitter. Who did not know the pitfalls of Twitter? Gab has been a top notch alternative to Twitter for a while now. Torba is a man who walks the walk. He deserves much honor.
INDEED! Andrew is a Christian – which makes the demon infested filth tech oligarchs go insane. lol….
I joined today..lucky me!
Gosh Am I ever fortunate to have run into this site.
“ Gods Will”.
Has to be, as I had no idea what” Gold” I had discovered
Thank you all
Good to know. I wasn’t able to see any comments on Gab since late afternoon. They just couldn’t load. Figured this was probably the issue. Thanks for posting.
O I pray CTH will keep safe from the big tech powers that be
Remember Before you Delete Twitter: Change your name to Donald J. Trump and upload his picture! Then 75+ Million Donald J. Trumps can follow each other… and maybe leave it up and make them ban you anyway!
Too late for me! 😉
Remember Before you Delete Twitter: Change your name to Donald J. Trump and upload his picture! Then 75+ Million Donald J. Trumps can follow each other… and maybe leave it up and make them ban you anyway!
(So good I had to repeat it i bold.)
Any news or recent update about the Release of the Kraken?
Consensus is there wasn’t one. Sidney’s affidavit from the 304th MI guy was kind of a dud, seeing as that’s a training battalion and he apparently didn’t finish the training in the first place. There’s enough Article II violations and good old fashioned ballot fraud before we start getting into algorithms and overseas counting/manipulation.
if PT wants to use insurrection i believe he has til the 12th.
It seems to me that things are moving towards even us posters needing VPN to remain secure. Any suggestions for Companies that offer such a feature that are not tied in to big tech?
I use the basic Norton for my computer, and they offer a VPN for just a little more, which I did.
Use Opera browser ,has VPN built in with adblock also
Just signed up with the VPN service hidemyass.com
Hahahahaha! That one will be easy to remember!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? and ?!
Protonmail.com has great email service and VPN.
I’m thankful that God’s hand is upon TCTH. Thank you for all you do to keep us informed, with honesty, thoughtfulness, intelligence and frankness. This is a wonderful community and I am glad I am welcomed here. Thank you, Sundance.
I am pleased to announce I have deactivated Twitter and Facebook. My cable will not be far behind.
Allan, your post gives me thought. We also need a friendly internet provider. That along with a friendly VPN provider would certainly give me a bit better “feel good”!
I cannot speak to the Internet provider, but Proton Mail is encrypted and also offers Proton VPN. Both services offer a free option, with more features if you pay for a subscription.
I have been using Proton Mail since 2018 and they have a serious commitment to privacy and security. Only just installed Proton VPN tonight, but so far, so good I think.
I did the same with my 6 year old twitter account. Started it up back in the Ferguson days. I wonder if we can find the daily statistics on how many accounts de-activated today?
How about a few million stock holders “deactivating” their shares of Facebook and Twitter? Like, all at once at noon on 20 January?
I have a question.
If Biden goes ahead and charges every Trump supporter as a domestic terrorist, does that then give them the power to take our guns?
It gives them power to claim they have the power. That’s probably 6-8 months in the future though, they need to get the camps constructed first. And pass the bill they’re going to use to detain dissidents.
They can use any pretext they want, “securing“ weapons during a storm or “emergency”, having someone raise questions of mental health, or whatever.
Yes. Read up on “red flag” laws – most are 1/2 step away from disarming political dissidents, and there is no due process.
I’m sure that’s the plan! And they will claim every gun owner is a Trump supporter!
That would be his biggest possible mistake making 80+ million people felons who would have absolutely nothing to lose. At that point he and the dems would literally be looking at an 80 million man hostile army. No good outcome from that.
how many Americans believe the news today?
Gives them the power to try.
If they try it, they will find that they’re more likely to get all the ammunition first.
There aren’t enough thugs-with-badges to take all of our guns.
They couldn’t even disarm a state, let alone the entire nation.
You know what guns do, right?
Does that then give us the right to sue their a$$es?
Would this site be open to allowing President Trump to post, if he is verified to be the real thing.
I’m sure many of us would love Trump to share with us his insights. But it might put too much pressure on this site to stay open if he did show up. I guess if Rudy or others created a thread or asked to post a topic , would you give them that ability? Is this site open to the idea? I’m sure as many people get banned from MSM, they will be looking for places to go to share their insights about what is going on.
Or at least have a dedicated Topic to post all PDJT communications.
You must be new here…Not being snarky…
Does this topic of having Trump or others like Rudy post and have it moderated by CTH staff to weed out the hate comments would be a new thing. I never read the comments after Trump tweeted because it was so full of hate.
It would be refreshing to have Trump make a thread , and see only Trumper’s comments on Trump’s insights, wouldn’t it.
It’s a valid point, peter.
although the regulars here would be respectful, you can be sure the trolls would show up causing headaches I can’t begin to imagine.
Peter, I was only referring to the point you made of “others” as we have a number of posters you would certainly recognize such as Sidney Powell, Sarah Palin and others that visit and post here. That is the only reason I thought you might be new here. Sundance has quite the following! Always happy to meet new Treepers on here if you are one! If so, grab a branch, and here’s a cold beverage! 😉
Just FYI, if you never were logged in to twitter and went to
Tweets by realDonaldTrump
(now defunct) you got only Donald Trump. Ditto right now with GAB, if you’re not subscribed and logged in: https://gab.com/realdonaldtrump
https:// twitter.com / realdonald trump without the spaces. (How clever of them, a redirect).
In my opinion, the big problem with President Trump posting on Conservative Treehouse is that it would make this website suddenly attract global interest, both good and bad, and the Conservative Treehouse staff may start experiencing genuine hacking attempts from nation state hackers on a daily basis.
After all, Trump is the most interesting person in the world, which makes him a target for the best hackers in the world.
Of course, this is just a pragmatic speculation coming from me. I am not trying to be a pessimist.
That’s funny – “Trump is the most interesting person in the world!” Too bad Trump doesn’t drink beer or he could be the new star for the Dos Equis commercials.
Sidney Powell has posted here a few times. It appears to be the real Sidney. Would be nice if she weighed in with her thoughts and opinions. Like right now.
Thanks Sundance for a True place to hang out. Everything was going just as planned for these people until they saw the size of that crowd! THAT changed everything! Godspeed! Being censored anymore is a badge of honor.
I can dig it. Hopefully if the Treehouse posts declassified information from the President the site won’t get taken down. TheDonald.Win seems to be under DDOS attack about 50 times a day.
I didn’t know what DDOS attack was. Just looked it up. It explains the Cloudfare window I get when I try to reach TheDonald.win. Same with Gab. Is there anything I can do on my end to alleviate that?
Sundance
Put out info your site will welcome post by Donald Trump
Just do it!
It truly was God’s gracious providence that the Treehouse had to handle the de-platform issue in November and not now when it would probably be close to impossible to accomplish what you did. Everything is so crazy right now, and it is wonderful to be able to come here.
So true.
Forces are at work.
I’ve will deplatform from Twitter and Google is dead to me.
I will no longer contribute to their monetization.
Make soros et al pay for it all.
CTH forever.
One million thank yous to Sundance and the crew for preserving this oasis of refuge amidst the swirling chaos. Very happy to hear TCTH is protected from malevolent forces.
We’re in for more rocky times before order is restored by our magnificent POTUS. ??
Thank you Sundance and crew! Have to say I e actually found this new “orchard” more user friendly and easier to navigate. Especially the ability to know about and locate replies to comments. Well done ALL!!
Is the hosting platform you are using a good solution for others to switch their business websites to?? Or is CTH’s new location strictly for blog type sites?
The Rebel Alliance 🙂
China has choking control over social media.
Just like the masks do not stop the virus, ( I have worn a mask 10,000 hours in surgery)
Social media will not stop communication. The amount of vengeance hurled at the President is shocking. I have not used television this year. Iran has militant control over churches and at the same time there is huge Christian revival in Iran.
Odd post went poof
Sundance
Invite Ores Trump to post here!
Pres Trump
“Was it not for the notification and deplatforming in November, and the inspired members of the Rebel Alliance that came to our aid, we may not have survived the past 24 hours.”
Even we atheist conservatives concede that “God works in mysterious ways”.
🙂
You may not believe in Him, but He believes in you. Trust that the time will come when His real presence will be made known to you.
Thanks SD and Rebel Alliance for all of your work!
What the heck is going on every post I do is going away?
Too late tonight.
Lets ALL (me included) donate to the CTH tomorrow.
There have been expenses, and there may likely be attacks in the future to fend off.
A place to focus time and effort may be sheriff elections. This is a story from Virginia after the start of overreach after getting a single majority in their legislature by them and Gov. Yearbook:
https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/it-begins-virginia-forms-active-militia-to-protect-sheriffs-citizens-from-unconstitutional-laws/
I just watched a Sheriff election locally where the “splitter strategy” was employed in the primary, big media got involved to ensure their candidate won. And in November there was only one name on the ballot because of the way the primary system works here. So the media chose the Sheriff for the whole county.
And in King County, Washington State (contains Seattle) the November ballot contained a resolution to move the control of the County Sheriff under the county council (heavily socialist) and set up another layer of oversight for law enforcement misconduct. I assume it passed, but haven’t checked.
Sundance, Thank uyou for all you have done to us a voice and a forum for exchanging information and support in these Orwellian times.
If you , in fact, are outside the reach of Big Tech and Google, Inc., is it possible that you can offer President Trump a secure platform to communicate with the us and the rewt of the world?
I am a deplorable. I will always be a deplorable. I am proud to be a deplorable.
I am a Treeper. I will always be a Treeper. I am proud to be a Treeper, as are you!
Sundance, please get a hold of L L Wood and figure out what he is doing. He has called the Chief Justice and the VP pedophiles..if this is BS, call him out. If it’s true make him show the proof. That kind of stuff is dangerous to everyone and doesn’t help anything
Emotion are high but I will wait for my real president platform. Where he go I go.
Thanks SD,
Thank you SundanceQ
This is like a Nazi and Communist takeover — combined!
I may have to move to Mexico. And I’m not joking.
And BTW, our obviously worse than worthless military obviously supports this and have since about halfway through Obama’s first term. And for $800 BILLION a year! What a fracken bargin!
Hate to tell you but Mexico has was too many Hispanics! For the most part they are nice people but you really don’t want to live with them. I live in a $900,000 Southern California community with lots of Hispanics and the word “consideration” doesn’t exist in the Spanish language. They honk car horns in the middle of the night. They all have huge vicious dogs which they allow to roam the streets. The dogs bark at everybody and want to tear them apart. We had four state police storm the house next door and search it for hours leaving with an assault rifle. I Googled the neighbors name and he’s a convicted murderer. Shot an unarmed guy four times outside a night club and spent several years in Folsom. You might want to consider British Columbia. The folks up there are crazy liberals but you’ll probably live happy and longer!
I have lived and worked in Mexico. UNBELIEVABLE CORRUPTION. Nobody trusts anybody except their family. Find somewhere else.
Hello CTH mods,
I see cookies external_referer, personalization_id, syndication_guest_id, _ga, and guest_id left by platform.twitter.com when visiting your website.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
what does that mean?
It means that the privacy settings in browser are not setup to stop those cookies…therefore they dont have a cookie monster in the device eatin up all those crumbs.
do the cookies/trackers come from CTH, or other sources?
Hi Beau,
Thanks for your questions. First, I’d like to make clear that there is nothing nefarious or unusually about having 3rd party javascript and tracking cookies within a website. This is a common practice. As to your questions, what is happening is that there is twitter provided javascript on the website. These scripts help display twitter widgets as can be seen on some of the posts above these. These scripts also set tracking cookies on your web browser that anonymously gather information that Twitter collects to measure usage and interaction with its widgets on the site. Given what has transpired today, my preference would be that CTH cancel twitter from its website. Dogsmaw is correct that individual users can tweak the privacy settings on their own web browsers to prevent/block platform.twitter.com from setting cookies but believe it would be more effective if mods took action to eliminate the scripts themselves and thus prevent the anonymous tracking by twitter of the less tech-savvy Treepers. Data is money and power and I’d prefer Twitter is denied as much of it as possible. Cheers.
I agree completely.
My spidey sense tells me this country is 4/5 MAGA or at least American and 1/5 Deep State/Socialist/Bolshevik.
If it were otherwise we would not see what the Uni-Party has done vis-a- vis the steal and Twitter et. al. has done vis-a-vis free speech
Deplatform yourselves from FB, Twitter, Google, cable completely or as much as possible.
Put Scarborough, Acosta, Stelter etc. out of a job like so many of us little people.
Do not feed them.
Individually there is not a lot we can do but collectively we can have a major impact by not financially helping them.
Its not just social media.
Citizenfreepress is down also.multipule redirects.
https://www.citizenfreepress.com
Hang on treepers its on. Communist purging.
So grateful for Sundance and all of you at the Treehouse. May God bless and keep you close in His Heart.
So, what you’re saying is: The November de-platforming was a blessing in disguise?
Lemonade usually tastes better than lemons.
God Bless you CTH, in more ways than one.
I thank God for this fellowship of hope. I thank you, Sundance. I thank you all ??❤️
I was introduced to posts from this site on Lucianne several years ago. It was by the grace of God that a CTH 2.0 was born! I come here each and every day. It is a source of comfort in a difficult time. I know all the forces of hell were aligned against our President the day he was elected. He was pro-life, pro-religious freedom, pro-Israel, pro-jobs, and believed in American sovereignty. His policies were everything this 69 year old born again pro-life Christian ever wanted. I will never be ashamed of my support for Trump and I will go to my death knowing the election was stolen due to mail in ballets and Dominion. Lastly, time for a new donation. I believe in paying where I eat!
Thank You ,
Sundance?
Thank You ,
Stellar Crew ?
Thank You ,
Techs ?
And ,,
Thank You Fellow Treepers ?
Thank you, Sundance, CTH Admin, mods, and all!
I discovered the flag option by accidentally flagging my own comment or two while looking for the edit function.
Oh well. That should be my/our worst problem in these challenging and yes, scary times.
Blessings…
