Like it or not, Twitter is a private company.

If you ask me, the President should ditch that platform and go to Gab.

Imagine depriving Twitter of all those clicks and revenue.

Twitter Intervenes to Control Speech of The President…

Posted on May 26, 2020 by sundance

Many people foresaw this likely happening and today it begins. Twitter has intervened in the tweets and speech of the President of the United States to review, censor and use their own perspectives to countermand the opinions of President Donald Trump.

By taking this position Twitter has put themselves into the position of arbitrating the opinions of general speech. This is a remarkable shift in the control mechanism of the platform which will likely have ramifications.

However, beyond the intervention, it is worth pointing to thee specific issue that has triggered their decision. Note the issue of greatest concern to the command authority of Twitter is specifically mail-in ballots; this is not accidental.

There has been a general likelihood, a very predictable strategy, that mail-in ballots, and the ability to control them was the primary goal of Democrats and the far-left in this election cycle.  As all previous efforts to remove President Trump have failed, the control of the 2020 election became even more important.

There are trillions at stake.

Mail-in ballots are the goal.  A 2020 election outcome based on mail-in ballots is the overarching objective for democrats this year.  2018 was a test run in the process.  2020 was always the goal.

Sending two ballots to democrats, and one to registered republicans is one method.  Controlling the mail carrying system is another.  Selecting ballots for counting based on zip code political registration is yet another still.  Ballot harvesting continues the overall process.  The list of ways to manipulate voter mail-in election outcomes is very long.

This strategy ties in with the Blue state governors destroying their economy, holding shut their regional economies, and yet not worrying about any election outcome is a downstream result of this plan-of-action.

Nationally democrats plan to use federal bailouts to replace lost revenues in the Blue states that are in a zero-sum position financially.  States like New York, Rhode Island, Illinois and California were already on the cusp of financial collapse; they have nothing to lose from going all-in for the bailout approach.

If the blue states get the bailout they win, if they don’t they are in trouble; however, they were already in trouble prior to the COVID-19 economic contraction, so they have nothing to lose by positioning everything contingent on a federal bailout.

That bailout then allows the state officials to pick winners and losers on a state basis.  The same approach used by President Obama in the trillion dollar prior bail-out known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 2009.   The same purpose was achieved in thee earlier construct.

A federal bailout protects their prior overspending.  Then, full control over the mail-in ballots provides them the security they need for the 2020 election.  Do not expect UniParty Republicans to oppose this effort.

Just like when the DC republicans supported the attacks against the Tea Party groups (protect their own incumbency), the DC decepticons will offer only weak verbal opposition to this effort; nothing of substance.   In reality the Democrats and Republicans both benefit from the removal of President Trump and a return to the status-quo.

The plan has been visible for quite some time.  Hence CTH earlier warning:

Here's a very serious suggestion for President @realDonaldTrump and @parscale. We know what's coming...

...Hire Catherine Englebrecht from @TrueTheVote to be RNC Chairwoman now, before it's too late. pic.twitter.com/Wm1iMwNyMO

Why did we make that suggestion two weeks ago?

…. Because once you see the strings on the marionettes, it’s impossible to watch the DC pantomime and not see them.

See post 5.

Twitter is just another part of the Vichy Media.

Like it or not, Twitter is a private company.

*************

Maybe so but aren’t all Political PAC’s private companies?

Twitter, IMO, is a PAC whose purpose is to get democrats elected and push their leftist agendas.

So they need to be regulated like all other Political Action Committees.

Jane, thanks for the ping.

[Jane Long]

Good point!

Needs to be looked into, fast.

;-)

[tbw2]

They’re begging to be regulated as a utility. And they can be prosecuted for colluding with Google to cripple Twitter rival Gab.

Mark post

Excellent

[Syncro]

I mention it from time to time here and on FB and twitr

Got to keep it out there...

[Vaden]

77 million! Golly moses I didn’t know he had that many.

I wonder how many of them are trolls? I see lots of leftist trollers responding to conservative tweets all the time. I don’t use Twitter but I think you have to have to be “following” someone in order to respond to a tweet.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

If Trump moves to Gab, many (unfortunately, including some here on FR) will say Gab is a Nazi site. I know they are wrong, but that won’t stop them.

^^^^^^^^^^^

No you don’t, but you have to have an account then you can tweet to anyone, unless they have blocked you or have a private account (Not many of those)

[Syncro]

Yep

Bret Baird an today said something like “Trump is using twitter to go to war against his enemies”

John Roberts echoed the same talking point.

Here’s the real reason:

95% of reports about Trump on most news outlets, both regular and cable, are negative about Trump or outright lies.

That’s why he took to twitter to get information out to his supporters. 77M followers or so on Twitr.

So the truth is that Trump is using twitter to get the truth and facts out there because his enemies are using twitter to ATTACK him.

So facts are the dems and the media, even fox, are using twitter to GO TO WAR AGAINST TRUMP!

Bret right now saying Trump is saying that social media is biased against Trump as if it its just Trump saying that, but to fox it is not true.
