DNC accuses Facebook of allowing Trump 'to mislead the American people'
The Hill ^ | 10/01/19 | Justin Wise

Posted on 10/01/2019 11:41:52 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is accusing Facebook of allowing President Trump to "mislead the American people" without facing any consequences.

DNC CEO Seema Nanda made the allegations in a Tuesday interview with CNN just a week after the tech giant announced that it would not remove posts or advertisements from politicians if they happen to violate the company's community rules.

Nanda told CNN that Facebook's move will allow Trump to "mislead the American people on their platform unimpeded."

"We know that Trump has an utter disregard for the truth," she said.

"Social media platforms have a responsibility to protect our democracy and counter disinformation online. This is a serious missed opportunity by Facebook," Nanda added.

The DNC and all democrat candidates do the same!

Are they going to fact check all of them, and then pull their postings?

“Imagine, in the 1980’s, the democrats complaining to CBS that they were allowing Reagan to lie to the american people by allowing him to buy ad time.”

I believe they did.

Exactly. Just because they are in the majority doesn’t mean they can make sh!@ up as they go along. Republicans should be pushing back. If republicans were in the majority the rats would never let them get away with this kind of crap

The Republicans can’t do anything other than figure out how to lose, then engineer a loss.

I guarantee you they are right now eagerly waiting for the slightest sign of political injury to Trump, at which point they will pounce.

They are losers. They are all Mitt Romney just looking for their moment to gain the favor of their masters.

Again - the Democrat party is a clear and present threat to the Republic and must be dissolved.

Trump: "Yet today, 240 years after the Revolution, we have turned things completely upside-down." - Donald Trump

And it's not just about jobs and economic opportunity. It's about freedom, exercise of "Creator-endowed rights and liberties," and opportunity for each citizen, not just self-appointed elitists who fancy themselves as entitled to make decisions for all.

See this web site, at which Richard Frothingham's outstanding 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" may be read on line.

This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.

Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.

In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.

Thomas Jefferson wrote to Roger Weightman on June 24, 1826:

" I should, indeed, with peculiar delight, have met and exchanged there congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of that host of worthies, who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were to make for our country, between submission or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact, that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made. may it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings & security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. all eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. the general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. these are grounds of hope for others. for ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them."

So let’s see. The president is not allowed to investigate corrupt Democrats. He’s not allowed to defend himself on social media. Anything else he’s not allowed to do, morons?

I’ve asked myself this question a million times. What are these people hiding they don’t want us to know about? The level of desperation taking place here begs the question over and over again.

If you want someone who is practiced at lying to your face, find someone from India or Chicago.
