This should be on a giant billboard in every city in the US.
"America does not need to see the tax return of a billionaire who became a public servant. America needs to see the tax returns of public servants who became millionaires while being public servants.”

"Sir, we are recommending recommend shutting down Twitter, Facebook, and all the other services where people say powerfully bad things about you."

...and that will be the end of THAT committee too.

Nevermind that the reality seems to be pretty much the opposite. Facebook and social media in general have largely shown significant bias in FAVOR of Republicans and so called conservatives. That massive numbers of hostile and divisive bots are literally indistiguishable from self-proclaimed "conservatives" does, however, mean that in culls of hostile bots, said real people will sometimes get caught too. And howl bloody murder frequently enough like the snowflakes working to build a wildly unearned victim narrative that they are.

Going beyond that for Facebook specifically, there are multiple Republicans in power there who have been pointedly making decisions that are brazenly biased towards Trump and the Republicans.

What I meant was that Trump lives by Twitter. It is his megaphone. He loves it. So if they try to tell him to shut it down, then the committee must have obviously gotten it wrong.

Also, forcing selective removal of content is pretty blatant censorship. I would hope the First Amendment screamers would be up in arms about that.

Finally, Twitter is global, not limited by any borders. The anti-Trump stuff would continue unabated no matter what efforts he would want in place. Unless Twitter was totally shut down (see point 1).

I don't know that I disagree with the second part; but I don't know why Hercules acts as if there's some definition of a billionaire that one (Trump, of course) could only ever decide to become a public servant out of motives of perfect altruism. After all, if a person becomes a public servant with the aim of using that position in order to make a fortune, surely a billionaire has at least a thousand times more motive to become a public servant in order to protect one?

A lot of interest in this story about Psycho Joe Scarborough. So a young marathon runner just happened to faint in his office, hit her head on his desk, & die? I would think there is a lot more to this story than that? An affair? What about the so-called investigator? Read story!

The United States cannot have all Mail In Ballots. It will be the greatest Rigged Election in history. People grab them from mailboxes, print thousands of forgeries and “force” people to sign. Also, forge names. Some absentee OK, when necessary. Trying to use Covid for this Scam!

Trump's tweets read more like an Enquirer or Sun front page than a president's statement.

How can any Republican with more than two brain cells see this as anything more than extremely embarrassing? Come on, ISF Republicans, explain this to me. Defend this kind of behavior with some kind of rational reason.

Like most of the Trumpers, you don't understand the First Ammendment. You get a pass for being Australian, they don't.

The First Ammendment applies only to GOVERNMENT censorship. Private companies like Twitter, Google, Facebook, and yes, Breitbart are free to choose what content they allow.
Trump tweeting that MSDNC is being unfair to him and tagging the FCC, on the other hand, is a blatant violation.

Between that, the re-tweeting of Stahl's fat-shaming of Abrams and "that's gold, Jerry! Gold, I tellya!"-level attempts at humor at Pelosi's expense, and the tweets accusing Joe Scarborough of murder, I'm inclined to agree- the lab has been well and truly blown up.

Can I get some help please? After Trump insisted everyone should go back to church, I assumed there’d be footage of him attending a large, public service this morning.
Can’t seem to find it, does anyone know if he went to church?

Yes. He attends the Eighteen Holes Fairway of God.

Damn. Ninja'd by slyjoe

I got what you going for, I just wanted to highlight the absurdity involved a bit more.

Selective removal of accounts that aren't people and were created to cause harm isn't even remotely censorship, as far as I'm concerned. That a small number of accounts of real people that are indistinguishable from them get caught up is unfortunate in a couple ways, but isn't even remotely close to violating the First Amendment in pretty much any way.

To be clear, of course, the US has a long and storied history of perfectly legal censorship. "Banned in Boston" comes to mind, for an easy example.

Trump has never become a public servant in any sense. He's still a (supposedly) billionaire sitting in a public servant's chair.

She's been ticked with him before. Can't remember that she's flown off the handle (at Trump) for very good reasons, but she's definitely not a blind Trump worshippers like so many of his other supporters.

Be sure to watch, “Witch Hunt, the Flynn Vindication” hosted by the very knowledgeable @GreggJarrett on @FoxNews tonight at 8:00 P.M. This is yet another part of the greatest Criminal Hoax in American History!

I always stand with leaders who weren’t afraid to stand early with me. That’s why I am supporting a true conservative, @DanJohnstonND for State Treasurer of North Dakota!

Cases, numbers and deaths are going down all over the Country!

ALWAYS?!? Let's ask Jeff Sessions, the first deluded Senator to throw his support your way, about your always standing with early boarders on the Drumpf Train, you ungrateful POS.
