One for all the Trump supporters to think on

One of Trumps former serious staffers has stated that he believes Trump could shut down the internet if elected..I wont editorialize. Just read it yourselves and decided what you would do with all that free time. I will say that by my calculations, within weeks and "America Free" internet would be up and running in some form..😷

If Trump gets elected he might want to do what Joe et al wanted allegedly do…get YouTube, Twitter and other social networks to help stop spreading disinformation. It became a legal battle.

That said; on dissemination of misinformation I do Recall a heap of disinformation was espoused by Joe Biden ( who just followed what he was told to say) that if you got vaccinated for Covid you wouldn’t get it. Now that was certainly disinformation as we know he was vaxxed and still got Covid.

@soar2newhighs I have noticed the trend from MAGA types lifted from the Goebbels playbook, to accuse the other side of precisely what you are doing, FIRST. Presumably to steal their thunder when they accuse you.😷
@soar2newhighs did he say that? I thought it was common knowledge that all vaccines only prevent severe illness, not infection.
@whowasthatmaskedman What’s a MAGA type?
Accusations as you describe…done by both sides. Democrats and Republicans.
What I’m saying is if elected ( being your friend is leery that Trump will shut down the internet) that he “ might” do what Biden wanted to do. Want me to attach a news item on it? Not really new.
@NerdyPotato Did he say that!? It’s a matter of public record and can be seen. You did not know he said that?
@soar2newhighs I have not watched every single speech he made in 4 years, no.
@NerdyPotato That particular one is a gem and a keeper. When you’ve time look it up. And who would expect you to follow every one of his speeches?
@soar2newhighs I've done some searching and you're right. He did overstate the efficiency once very early on.

@soar2newhighs Providing some order to the internet via censorship or limitation is a fine idea in theory. Except that it wont work no matter who does it. However simply cutting links is about the stupidest thing I have heard in a long while..😷
@NerdyPotato Biden is no medical person. No doubt that came from perhaps Fauci, the CDC, the WHO or some medical professional who advised him. Regardless he was mistaken.
@whowasthatmaskedman “ cutting”? I may have mistyped “ citing”.
That said, misinformation is on both sides of our political aisle.
Another issue we have here is our administration’s tendency to practice the art of the overreach.

@soar2newhighs If it weren't for disinformation, Trump wouldn't have a fan base at this stage in his existence. He relies on it.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@soar2newhighs No. Trumps man suggested he would simply cut the connectionj, severing all traffic..And I get that the logistics would make this as hollow a threat as any other Trump promise.😷
@LordShadowfire So does Biden and the majority of politicians. It is not unique to any political party.
@whowasthatmaskedman So we’ll wait and see if he gets back in and what he does.

@soar2newhighs And there you go again with the whataboutism, ignoring the fact that Donald Trump and his lies literally led to an insurrection. You didn't see Hillary Clinton demanding that Democrats march into the Capitol building to "stop the count", just because the election had an unfavorable outcome for her. And you won't see Joe Biden doing that if he loses this election. But we all saw Trump do it.

He's told us what he's going to do.

@soar2newhighs See thats the thing.. After one term of Trump and his actions and inactions, You are still willing to allow him back into the White House..Now I get all American politicians are bent. But at least the Bushs, Clintons and the rest had the decency to do it behind the scenes, were the rest of the world couldnt poke fun of you for electing such an @$$hole.. And that sir makes you a MAGA, which in time will enter the lexicon with its own meaning as an insult..😷
@whowasthatmaskedman You are obviously oblivious to the realm of American politics with your citing of the Clinton’s the Bush’s. You need to delve deeper into our politics and presidents .
Poke fun at a man who made the world take notice. Not like the horrors of The Clinton and especially George W. bush era. You might want to look at through the prism of 9/11.
Ever see someone throw a shoe at Trump? No but we did with Bush.
And if Trump should be re elected what will you do? Nothing but possibly lament.

@soar2newhighs Trump has certainly made the world take notice of his fascism and racism and his open attacks on democracy. That's why our allies breathed a collective sigh of relief when Biden was elected.

I didn't see anyone throw a shoe at Trump, but I did see him tell his Cult to beat up people who protested at his Adoration Events. He even lied and said he would pay for their legal bills if they did so.
@windinhishair We currently have a feckless, wimp, mentally and physically challenged puppet, cabal owned
and beholden to in the White House. Ineffective, lost , arrogant, and corrupt ( whole family).
Give me Trump over this wasted piece of humanity.
We’re tired of doling our tax dollars to Ukraine because most likely they have shit on Biden he does not want to come out so he keeps feeding his Ukrainian whores.
He’s lost on the Israeli/ Hamas situation. Our troops/ ships are attacked, and he shakes in his boots and fails to respond appropriately.
He is a leech, sucking on the life’s blood of the American people.
The sooner he passes, the better!

@soar2newhighs Biden is far preferable to Trump, as any sentient being would admit. Your Cult obedience to Trump puts your own fascism and racism on display for all the see. It is not a good look.

No, he lost the 2020 election.
@LordShadowfire The 2020 election was rigged and stolen. You really believe Biden was able to function as a president ( dare I call him that)?
He’s proved he’s on his knees to his owners and those he is behold to. A pathetic piece of humanity.

@soar2newhighs You're goddamn right the election was rigged. 81 million of us rigged it. Cope and seethe, MAGAt.

@soar2newhighs I have the luxury of doing nothing. Not being in America or in a nation botdering. The question is what will America do when its $ drops to maybe half its current value, unemployment reaches levels comparable to the Great depression and your former friends in trade refuse to accept $US as paymenty for goods you import any more. And all of that it possible, no matter who is in the White House. But a lot more likely and sooner with a bombastic Cretin like Trump as your front man. Maybe you didnt wake up to how thick he was last time. But the rest of the world did. And they wont thank you for giving him a second shot..😷
