If Trump allows Google and Facebook to decide if I’m a menace to society and can have my guns denied, I swear before God Almighty I will never vote for him. Why do I smell Ivanka here?

It would probably be better to vote for the Democrats directly rather than die the death of A Thousand Cuts

This sounds like the Department of Pre-Crime and could so easily be turned against any group not favored by the government.

I would suspect this is already happening. And a lot of other things as well.

And we think China is alone in its Social Credit Rating system.

". . . The Washington Post reported Thursday."

". . . citing sources inside the administration."

The Washington Post (Washington DC's liar of record) spews about an idea they've heard floated by someone in the HHS Department, a department where Trump has no friends, and hopes suckers believe that Trump is considering the idea so some of his supporters get pissed off and refuse to vote for him again.

I'd bet that at most, Trump met with someone from HHS and ignored the idea moving on to other things rather than instantly calling the HHS dolt a stupid jackass.

When Trump personally says something and video of him saying it is available, I believe he's considering it. Otherwise I consider everything from the "Russian Collusion" media rabble as just the usual subtle democrat party trick of getting their opponent's supporters ticked off at their opponent so a significant number of those who supported their opponent in the past stay home on election day.

The Washington Post worked in lock step with the rest of the democrat scum to portray of Trump as an uncompromising Hitler but now that we're approaching the election season they've switched to portraying him as a compromising milquetoast personality when it comes to defending things his supporters expect him to support.

Algorithm. A logarithm is but an exponent.

Not even trying for “sources told the Post” but pure fiction.

First thing I thought of was this sounds like a Javanka idea.

Your cell phone providers know all.

Google tells me I visited webpages months ago.

This is what the Washington Post says in paragraph two of their article:

Supporters see the plan as a way President Trump could move the ball forward on gun control following recent mass shootings as efforts seem to be flagging to impose harsher restrictions such as background checks on gun purchases.

The Daily Caller headline turns that into:

Trump Admin Is Considering Using Amazon Echo And Apple Watch To Determine If Citizens Should Own A Gun

WaPo says “Supporters see the plan as a way President Trump . . . “. Daily Caller turns “plan for Trump” into “Trump considering” making it look like Trump is going to the Dark Side.

A number of Freepers commenting above fell for this slight-of-hand.

The President has changed his mind so often on so many issues, so who knows? I hope he stands firm behind the Second Amendment, but I’m not sure. I agree with the other poster who said this was probably a Jarvanka initiative.

This story is setting off my BS detector. There’s surely no love lost between DJT and Big Tech.

Let’s withhold our pitchforks and torches until we get a direct quote from the President, shall we?

It's psy-ops 101. Discourage Trump's base with fake news.
