They can smell what's coming. Anyone who was a part of Trump's cabinet will be ostracised, so they're off the train while they can still save their careers. There are already calls in the media to never hire "these people" ever again, they know exactly what they're doing. Smart, if duplicitous.

Everyone can smell that stink on them. It's what turds do... stink. They should be flushed for their part in this embarrassment of an administration Duplicity is their specialty.

You can count on politicians to be politicians.



Curious about this. How did Trump censor people?

Where did I say Trump? And even this site has a bad habit of changing posts. Hence the 1942 farenheit 451 comment.

Hopefully none of them can save their careers, they stuck it out with him for four years. Too late to try to renounce their loyalty now.

Trump is obviously an Xbox guy. Series X is tall and thick, like a big beautiful wall, and it cannot be hacked because it's the best - designed in America by the best people. It has the best games and the best controller which is just the right size for his correctly-sized hands.
It's also big and black, so it would trigger his inferiority complex and scare him at night. Joycons are the only controller which can possibly make his hands appear somewhat normal-sized, and he can pick Toad in Mario Kart. If he was gonna buy any system it'd definitely be Switch, but we all know Trump is a lamer, not a gamer. I'm okay with it if Barron wants to create an account here, though.

Look at where I quoted you. It sounds like you are implying that Trump censors people.


Foxi said to remove or alter it. Read what I quoted. say that's a very Trump attitude. Kinda early 40's german.....didn't say Trump. Now that you mention it.... (I don't want to get redacted and will,for sure ,if I say too much. I know from experience.) But.. you know.

This. What you mean by this? It's actually pretty amazing, to me, how much of his opposition that he didn't shut down in an authoritarian manner. Seems like that would of happened, being a fascist.

Trump has news articles selected for him that a positive toward him and skips the rest. He has no power to stop them. No matter how fascist he is. This is America, Tabbie. That would be too blatant even for the dictator in chief. But he has it redacted so that it won't shatter his little tiny shriveled...ego.

An incompetent attempt at a fascist coup is still an attempt nonetheless. Trump spent the majority of his presidency railing against freedom of the press, the first amendment, and section 230. Four more years of that and we would no longer have democracy in the US.

Are you talking about retweeting articles that he likes? That's not censorship. If, in America, a person cannot be a dictator, then Trump is not actually a dictator. Maybe he wants to be, but it's besides the point.

He called the liars, he didn't criticize their freedom to do so, afaik.

If he was trying to lead a coup, how come he was still giving a speech when it happened? Did he give those people special instructions?

I know hes not a dictator. He doesn't know he not a dictator, but I do. He has his news censored for him. They prepare it for him and remove anything upsetting for him to read to prevent him from having a bad day. His papers and screens must have so many holes and missing info. Kinda like the temp from time to time. It's like if I blocked everyone like you. Every thread would be full of holes. But a lot more pleasant. Then he believes it... scary.

He suggested we "open up libel laws" so that the press could be sued just for repeating his own words. He outright said that everybody who believes in freedom of speech, AKA the first amendment, were "foolish people."

Those are just a couple examples off the top of my head, I'm sure I could pull up fifty more or so with some research.

Section 230 allows content providers to censor their users without recourse.

So did the Third Reich so what?

What does this mean?? Can you explain it.

The news he reads. Dammit. You are awesome at the baffle with bullshit approach. No more explaining anything. Google it.

To be fair, putting yourself in an information bubble is not the same thing as censoring other people. Trump did want badly to censor his critics throughout his presidency, but AFAIK he was never truly successful in that endeavor.

Ok. "“We’re losing a lot of people because of the Internet, and we have to do something. We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what’s happening. And we have to talk to them. Maybe in certain areas closing that Internet up in some way [audience member cheers]… Somebody will say, ‘oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.’ These are foolish people. We have a lot of foolish people. We have a LOT of foolish people."

I admit this is my first time hearing about it. And I don't understand the context, so I don't know how I feel about it.

So you are saying that section 230 shares traits with the Third Reich, and therefore, should not be a concern? Strange... I don't understand you.

TBH, I don't see where he tried. Maybe he floated some ideas?

I'm not sure how context really matters here, but IIRC the context was his reaction to negative things posted about him on the internet. It wasn't the first or last time he attacked the first amendment, but I don't think he ever referred to it by name, probably because he's never actually read the constitution.

In real life, shouting 'fire', when there is none, in a crowded area endangers people. So it is probable that he was referring to a scenario that could be likened to that, though you might not agree with it.
