Facebook, Google and Twitter, not to mention the Corrupt Media, are sooo on the side of the Radical Left Democrats. But fear not, we will win anyway, just like we did before! #MAGA

So this supposed "social media expert" doesn't even understand the issues regarding bots and spam?

From: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/434732-trump-vows-to-look-into-facebook-move-on-scavino
“In order to stop automated bots, we cap the amount of identical, repetitive activity coming from one account in a short period of time, such as @mentioning people," a Facebook spokesperson said. "These limits can have the unintended consequence of temporarily preventing real people like Dan Scavino from engaging in such activity, but lift in an hour or two, which is what happened in this case. We’ve been in touch with him and have apologized for the inconvenience.”

Trump is on the verge of an open assulat on Freedom of the Press.
Now are people beginning to understand why I think armed resistence to a dictsatorship is a possibility we should prepare for?
 
He also suggested they could be a full fledged NATO ally. What does the N stand for again? Portuguese?

Having other countries (such as Brazil) as members of NATO wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing (even if the name becomes a bit inaccurate, or the organization needs to be renamed.)

It is rather weird for Trump to be talking about membership, given the fact that:
- Trump himself probably doesn't have the ability to admit new members (and I can't see the other nations wanting to go along with whatever "suggestions" Trump might have)
- Trump has been quite critical of NATO in the past

I doubt it's the worst thing she's had to swallow working for Trump.

As it is, there's two stories going around about the Conways. The first is from an article on Kellyanne, in which she made a statement that George's opposition to Trump puts considerable strain on their marriage - and tried to attribute it to "a source close to the couple" before the journalist reminded her that she'd already said that everything was on the record and should be attributed to her. The second is a conspiracy theory which states that the two of them are in cahoots and it's all a carefully-managed charade where they're playing both sides for maximum profit.

If either of those are true, then it seems unlikely that she'd mind too much what Trump says about George.

For all we know, they both laugh their heads off at home. Kellyanne gets a fat paycheck.

He thinks he owns it.

Nunes' lawsuit claims he got "shadowbanned" by Twitter.
He claims that the only possible reason why his tweets don't get that many likes is because the Twitter algorithm suppresses them or makes it hard for potential supporters to find them.

In reality, he just doesn't tweet very often - and tweets rarely catch much real support in any case.

Separation of Church and State?

Yeah, yet another societal norm is fading fast. The First Amendment starts:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, ...
Click to expand...
I read somewhere now that the Supremes are decidedly toward the religious side, proponents of Christianity are going to start pushing the second part of that clause, namely, the "free exercise" part. They will start to argue, for example, that not allowing prayer in schools is impinging on students "free exercise" of their religion.

I fear that they may find some success with such an approach. Fundamentalists will, of course, push that "free exercise" part just as far as they can ... and then some.

Not good.
