Cont: Trump et al continued “2020 election” conspiracy theories

[Dr. Keith]

On the one hand, it is concerning that a company like Twitter controls access to so much public discourse nowadays.

Maybe. But what I find more concerning is that the President of the United States has convinced people that if he can't use twitter he can't communicate. The White House has a press briefing room and he can call a press conference at the drop of the hat and have that room filled with cameras and journalist and people from OANN.

He has normalized microblogging as a legitimate form of communication from a President to his followers. The word microblogging was coined in W's second term. That 140/280 characters is a sufficient format for meaningful communication is still not established. Nonetheless, it is the primary form of communication from one of our Presidents.

That is disturbing to me.

That is disturbing to me.

Not to mention he could just start a blog. Then he could post short little quips, or pictures, or videos, or whole speeches, or lengthy coherent, thoughts that advance logical arguments for his important policies.

He even has paid staff that could do that last part for him.

They really, really should though.

Look what Trump has done to us: left or right, we're all rooting for Dominion voting systems.

What’s beautiful is that crazy seditionist Mike Lindell is now telling Dominion to proceed because they’ve got All The Evidence that Dominion was in cahoots with China, Venezuela, the Mole Men, and the Klingon Empire. One presumes that the MyPillow corporate lawyers haven’t succeeded in putting a tranquilizer dart into Lindell yet.

I really hope he keeps inviting Dominion to proceed. That will be lovely. One wonders what a voting systems company will do with their newly-owned pillow-making subsidiary.

I'm joking.

I think you know that they and many social media are private businesses whose reason for being is to be like a town square where people meet, gather, and talk.

I am reminded that there was similar controversy during the Bush, Jr., era. Apparently, or so it was argued, "talk radio" was out of control and in need of regulation.

The arguments then were not fundamentally different from what we have now with social media. The counter-arguments are not fundamentally different from what we have now. The really point was that politicians of any persuasion don't like feeling disadvantaged by something they think they can regulate.

The simple solution then that if liberals felt they were disadvantaged by talk radio that was overwhelmingly conservative, then the liberals should be fostering their own talk radio venues that favored liberals. The problem then, of course, was that relatively few people wanted to listen to liberal talk radio. So the liberals instead fought to regulate conservative talk radio.

Thankfully, they were unsuccessful.

The conservatives battling liberal social media fora have the same options to strike out on their own, and they deserve equal success attempting to regulate that which doesn't need regulation.

Are you a volunteer cheerleader, or are you paid to promote an unaccountable proprietary voting system with opaque mystery software, as on Slave Planets in the Totalitarian Galaxy ?

It's fantastic that they're going to put an idiot Trump dead-ender out of business with the added bonus of taking his ****** pillows off the market. I understand in his latest visit to the WH, even Diaper Don didn't want to see him, and passed him off to some minion, who passed him off to another minion, etc. How crazy do you have to be to have your bat **** looney ideas rebuffed by (former) President ***** - His-Pants?

BTW.... You'll be pleased to hear that I was wrong.

As you know, I said Biden would be turned away if he approached the White House Wednesday. I was wrong.

Trump called to tell me we are going with plan B. As it turns out, Biden will be allowed to have an inauguration ceremony.

Then Flynn called with details on Plans B, C, and D.

I will keep Y'all posted when I know more.

Trump will switch his mind with Biden's, ruling in his body for the next four years.

Oops, did I just give away The Plan?

Yes, we saw the ludicrous Gab post.
When asked why the swearing in first, one commentor recounted having read ~"Biden knows the election was a fraud so he needs to accept being inaugurated to commit treason." Then... Boom, cuffs go on.
That your Plan B? You're a hoot! [emoji1]

That sounds silly.

I didnt see a Gab post.

You really need to stop writing your private phone number on Comet Pizza's walls.

.

Is that the previous Qanon "plan" you posted about Flynn putting you on a 20 year, one way, space trip to Mars to become his "slave"?

You already told us that story.

I love the irony of reading this on an internet message board that anyone with the funds can add to their existing website, or buy their own website.

Someone pointed out that the tech companies are not "all powerful" in that they cannot impose taxes, seize property, draft people into military service, or put folks in prison. Only governments can do that.

Pillow-boy spread lies about a legitimate company and those lies caused serious damage to said company. Why shouldn't Dominion sue? Trump and Trump supporters did not tell the truth and the company and their employees suffered for it.

I see the soft-core gold-digger is snubbing the inaugural. Good!
