Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Again, Trump just needs to grow stones and utilize the tools available to punish these and others who are blatant enemies of the people. A few examples, and they'll all fall in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'd vote to kick your ass to the curb if you dared to use the wrong background color on our band's website. You don't even want to know what would happen if you opted to use a color photo, instead of the trendy black-and-white photo, of the band on the main page!

(longer thread if anyone cares) Foreshadowing of what's to come. It's not really a Social Media Summit without the major social media actors. Quote A “Social Media Summit” at the White House this week will offer a platform for supporters of President Trump who say they face censorship by left-tilting Big Tech—and a preview of a likely theme in Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign. Attendees include the Claremont Institute think tank, media company Prager University and the Media Research Center, a nonprofit critical of national news organizations. Also expected to attend are more familiar Washington conservatives, including the Heritage Foundation. Not on the guest list: social-media giant Facebook Inc., which said it didn’t get an invitation. Twitter Inc. and Alphabet Inc., which owns YouTube and Google, also weren’t invited, according to people familiar with the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
