Major General Patrick Donahoe posted what he called a "Public Service Announcement," telling people to "Block and report the trolls and the disinformation tinfoil hat team."
A Major General, in the US Army has called for people to "block and report" those they disagree with on Twitter. Major General Patrick Donahoe posted what he called a "Public Service Announcement," telling people to "Block and report the trolls and the disinformation tinfoil hat team."
Pushback on Twitter was swift and fierce. Human Events' Jack Posobiec noted that Donahoe "couldn't even win a Twitter war..." and in fact, he couldn't.
Glenn Greenwald called Donahoe out for "accusing people who question him on Twitter" as "shills for Putin." Greenwald posited that Donahoe is more interested in securing tv appearances than actually doing his job in the US Army.
A Marine herself, Twitter user Michele Perez Exner said that Donahoe's statements mark the "disturbing trend in the breakdown of civilian-military discourse in America," and said that Donahoe himself is "directly contributing to that problem."
Former White House official Darren Beattie said that Donahoe's comments were "embarrassing," and that the Major General has not exhibited "bravery" but only shown that he is "an obedient dog for his superiors."
In his tweet, Donahoe uses the terms "trolls" and "disinformation" as though everyone knows exactly what they mean, as though they are commonplace terms that identify easily recognizable things. They do not. ADVERTISEMENT In fact, each term is highly open to interpretation, and each term is designed to be malleable and manipulable enough to be used to take down detractors, without need of evidence, or facts.
These are the yobs who will fire willingly on US citizens
He'd have made a good Nazi General as they too called up citizens to Block and Report.

God help us if we’re to be defended by “Perfumed Princes” such as Major General Patrick Donahoe and his bands of castrati being actively recruited/created.
The Army had some great recruiting messages 20 years ago. My favorite: “In the Army, you’ll do more before 10 a.m. than most people do all day.” These were messages of personal empowerment and grand achievement. How sad to see them covered in the mud and slime of leftism.
I don’t know if Patrick identifies as a little girl, but he ought to.
Those were great ads.
Conceptually I have never been a big fan of standing armies.
Then the biden would be tempted to give him a sniff.
In 1976, SNL had a great Army recruiting commercial starring John Belushi as a pot smoking Army General. I had just received notification that my branch assignment was Air Defense Artillery. You can imagine my delight when he said, “...and if you go into Air Defense Artillery, you get a personal set of heat seeking laser missiles.” LMAO
Donald J. Trump was a General????
:)
The Bubble is a powerful thing. People inside it have no idea what is going on outside.
Report to whom? Twitter, Google, Facebook, the Woke House? Or to some new military intelligence group?
Because, if this is some random flame unbefitting his position, he should be cashiered.
Galileo, Copernicus, Bruno, John Hus, etc. were also trolls who promulgated misinformation against science (as established by Aristotle).
Wicked trolls.
Idiots like this one always make me wish I was on Twitter.
But that stupid feeling goes away quickly.
We currently need more Generals like Patton!
And here you go. A general. What have we become?
Now you know who Q-anon really was the whole time. Our military working with FIB and CIA. Only military would have been able to tell you Presidents schedule and take some of those pics in Whitehouse.
