It seems like he'd be easy to trick.

I think he's skilled at smelling disloyalty. He's got lots of practice there.

Oooookaaaay..... let's /keep/ talking about this.
Quote:
Twitter for its part, flagged the tweet in a way that hid the tweet from at:realdonaldtrump and required the reader to click a link to reveal it. The action by Twitter also prevented anyone from liking the tweet or retweeting it without comment. Stymied by this, the same tweets were posted by the at:POTUS account, and they received the same treatment by Twitter. Quote:
Twitter Places Warning on a Trump Tweet, Saying It Glorified Violence The president’s tweet, which implied that protesters in Minneapolis could be shot, could not be viewed without reading a brief notice, and users were blocked from liking or replying to it. .... These actions by Trump... Are they desperation? Ignorance? True belief? wtf? I think this fits perfectly with Trump's past behavior where he's said "Don't believe what you hear and see, only believe what I tell you." (I paraphrase). He and those he's gathered around him reflexively revert to their mother tongue under stress: doublespeak. Quote:

Remember that this is the guy who was pushing for the death penalty when the Central Park Five got set up by the NYPD and the prosecutors. There will be no balance where African Americans are concerned, this is his core value.
He is a totalitarian by nature so it will continue until removal. Twitter shows confidence in the judiciary.

Conservatives are able to hold power despite diminishing support, only because they are more aggressive, and more successful in their gamesmanship-- as in, overshooting their response to media bias claims, therefore skewing media treatment incrementally to their own benefit. Aggressive and successful-- as in, power-grabbing the census, the redistricting, the voter rolls. It's no surprise they are freaking out about the proposition of increased vote-by-mail. They EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE OUT LOUD that increased voter turnout equals guaranteed Republican losses. We never again need to question their "win by cheating" strategy-- they admit it. They own it. Free speech for ME.. power for ME.. a system that works for ME. It's disgusting. It's not what we're told America stands for.

There's only two possible explanations for that.

from here:
The “free speech debate” isn’t really about free speech The “free speech debate” isn’t really about free speech The debate over “cancel culture” is about something real. But it’s not about free speech. Please give this article about twenty minutes of your focused attention. It's an excellent article. Here are my first thoughts about it: 1 -- reality is just a story we tell to each other. 2 -- not every thing is knowable from first hand empirical evidence. 3 -- we find people we trust, to some degree, for some reason, and give them credence.

I like this bit: (his thoughts again) Quote:
Please read and respond, I'd love to know how you think and feel about this issue.

Mirriam-Webster updates dictionary definition in order to pwn the right
not strictly social media censorship but it's such a wild 1984ish item |

Jesus.
I suppose they can't help being offended by everything either. Poor flakes.

Wull that's the thing, nobody is actually offended. The woke team controls power by controlling language.
My Twitter feed showed "The Advocate", historically the nation's leading gay culture news source, using "sexual preference" in articles three weeks ago. |

Someone claims to have emails that say what your campaign wants them to say. Apparently Russian hackers have been successful again. Twitter and Facebook would also have to censor that 'equally credible' source. They censored because Trump's private attorney, Rudy Giuliani made some subjective (unsubstantiated) claim. Giuliani has long been an incredulous source. |
