The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals noted that because Trump uses Twitter to communicate with the public about his administration, and his account is open to the public for people to comment on his posts, it warrants constitutional free speech protection under the First Amendment.

“We do conclude,” the opinion said, “that the First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilizes a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise‐open online dialogue because they expressed views with which the official disagrees.”

Will they decide the same when a Dem is in office?...................

Note how CNN is in a death spiral after the Mueller Report showed no Russia collusion and CNN spending two years lying about the non existent collusion.

“bizarre tirade”

Are phrases like that necessary to get establishment credibility? Why use them?

FOX has been consumed by the evil.

When news has moved from news to opinion:

Words like “bizarre” and “rant” are used.

(The president apparently confused his dates, as the escalator ride he referenced happened in June 2015 when he announced his presidential bid.)

“A big subject today at the White House Social Media Summit will be the tremendous dishonesty, bias, discrimination and suppression practiced by certain companies.”

The White House will be hosting a very big and very important Social Media Summit today.

I hope Trump decides to endorse something like GAB, and makes a big splash about it.

“The Fake News is not as important, or as powerful, as Social Media. They have lost tremendous credibility since that day in November, 2016, that I came down the escalator with the person who was to become your future First Lady,” Trump tweeted. (The president apparently confused his dates, as the escalator ride he referenced happened in June 2015 when he announced his presidential bid.)

Oh pleeze, GFY.

We knew what he meant...

Government isn’t an industry and sure as hell shouldn’t be a profession.
