Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA) is under attack by the non-farming woke crowd. The Social Justice Zealots have attacked him and his family by every possible method. Nunes has strong Conservative credentials and supports President Donald Trump. He has not been cowed by this attempted intimidation.
In 2018, Erielle Davidson of The Federalist wrote how the media and the Left (I know, redundant.) harassed Nunes’ wife, uncle and 98 year old grandmother. Davidson writes that harassing family should be off limits. That’s a true fact. The Fresno Bee sent a reporter “unannounced” to Nunes’ grandmother. If she had wanted to contribute to the political conversation, she would have invited the Fresno Bee to her home.
The worst sin that Nunes seems to have committed is that he grew up on a dairy farm and didn’t attend Ivy League schools. Here is part of the biography from his Congressional website:
Nunes was born in Tulare, California. His family is of Portuguese descent, having emigrated from the Azores to California. From childhood, he worked on a farm that his family has operated in Tulare County for three generations. He raised cattle as a teenager, used his savings to begin a harvesting business, and then bought his own farmland with his brother.
Nunes graduated from Tulare Union High School. He is the second Member of Congress to attend Tulare Union, following Olympic gold medalist Bob Mathias, who served in the House of Representatives from 1967 to 1975. After associate’s work at College of the Sequoias, Nunes graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he received a bachelor’s degree in agricultural business and a master’s degree in agriculture.
Oh, but he’s not a real farmer because his family sold their property in 2006 and moved to Iowa. Draw and quarter him, now! Devin Nunes lack of real farming experience, in the Left’s mind, has led to a Twitter account for “Devin Nunes’ Cow”. That’s what the Social Justice Zealots consider high-tone comedy.
Nunes has filed a suit against Twitter and others for defamation. This is not to be confused with his Daily Beast/CNN lawsuit, which is about the Ukraine. In case you are wondering, yes, I think Devin Nunes is suing too much. Not the tack I would take. Well, I would sue about the Ukraine. I would embrace “Devin Nunes’ Cow”. I would turn it against the left. I would actually make it funny. Moo!
Here is part of the story from The Hill.com:
Nunes’s lawyer reportedly issued a subpoena last month to obtain records from Adam Parkhomenko, a former Democratic National Committee employee, about the operators of the accounts.
In a filing to nullify the subpoena, Parkhomenko’s attorney said that the parody accounts’ behavior did not constitute defamation. He also emphasized that courts were responsible for protecting anonymous speech, The Bee noted.
“No reasonable person would believe that Devin Nunes’ cow actually has a Twitter account, or that the hyperbole, satire and cow-related jokes it posts are serious facts,” the filing read. “It is self-evident that cows are domesticated livestock animals and do not have the intelligence, language, or opposable digits needed to operate a Twitter account.”
Here are a few supporters of “Devin Nunes’ Cow” who showed up for an August hearing on the Twitter suit:
This Adam Parkhomenko is a minion of Hillary Clinton. You can read all about him here. Here is an Adam Parkhomenko Tweet (nsfw):
We are coming for you @DevinNunes. We are not unilaterally disarming when it comes to the legal process. Every single option is on the table and there is a price to pay for fucking with peoples first amendment rights.

What a charmer! Nunes should drop this lawsuit. He should “Moo” right along with the crowd. He should appropriate the cow memes. Nunes’s cow should be a cow of the people, for the people, and by the people. Nunes’ cow gives sweet milk, not curdled.
Twitter is a sewer that Nunes should stay upwind of. These people are humorless Social Justice Zealots who know nothing of farming or farmers. They think food comes from Whole Foods. The cows know real butter from margarine. These people are margarine.

Looks like the Fresno Bee is in trouble. Their parent company McClatchy stock has imploded.
On 4/18/2005 McClatchy stock was at $739.90.
Today it is around $0.38. Yup thirty eight cents from seven hundred dollars plus while the marked overall has gained significantly.
He has not been cowed

“It is self-evident that cows are domesticated livestock animals and do not have the intelligence, language, or opposable digits needed to operate a Twitter account.”
And yet all the top Democrats have Twitter accounts.
And then we could bring up the Sean Spicier Twitter account………
Nunes should drop this lawsuit.
I concur.
Detest Twitter and Facebook. Use them just to draw people to my blog.
Hope Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA) wins some of his law suits. The news media needs to regain some respect for the truth.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day!
Politics leftist style isn’t just policy disagreements, it’s about destroying those who disagree. This makes a kind of sense, since leftism is a complete worldview, not simply a particular position on which policies will better get us to a common goal. Fundamental to that worldview is that they, the leftists, control society from the top down. Hence leftists’ insistence that we accept uncritically their arbitrarily shifting positions on sex and gender, race, climate, economics, etc. It’s important that Nunes’ retaliates against these totalitarians (I suppose on the cow tweets it’s not warranted – unless he still has a cow, in which case he should sue on its behalf. That would make perfect sense to PETA, I believe.)
An aside, “the Ukraine” vs. “Ukraine:” there are the transliterations to English of two different names. The first is a Russian tsarist & Soviet term for a conquered possession, and the second the name adopted by independent Ukrainians to emphasize they aren’t vassals of Moscow. This sticks a finger in the eye of Putin and others who think the demise of the USSR was both illegal and a great tragedy, and want “their” frontier back. The distinction matters.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. We in the U.S. have so much for which to be thankful.
since leftism is a complete worldview
Yes, it is a religion. One that demands absolute devotion by the “privileged” and courtesy bows from the rest – so they can obtain the benefits which the God of Woke bestows.
in which case he should sue on its behalf
Heh. For defamation (if the silly account is un-funny).
[…] the house. That’s huger than huge. Controlling all that money! Nunes has long been a favorite target of the Left because he was a strong Conservative before Trump and never wavered. When other […]
