I hope you're right but they have had three years to do something, including when they controlled congress, and did nothing but allow tech lobbyists to run roughshod over them. At this point as far as big tech facing any real consequences for their naked partisanship: "I'll believe it when I see it".

It’s the shills and influx of losers who were sure to come here after TD blew up so quickly.

This site will be under full fledged attack from every angle going forward, use that Deport button early and often on suspected shills!

It is under attack right now, the site is slow as hell and very laggy.

Of course, blurryface, by reciting that list, you're proceeding on the premise those trolls and shills are here to actually learn something and become productive and constructive contributors here.

They have no desire for such. They are here simply for agitprop.

That is all.

I know. I have you upvoted.

I have read the Art of War twice. Trump's book is still on deck in my Kindle. (I have lots of books on the current read list)

The Laws of Power...I have not yet obtained a copy. I'll check into it!

I checked my Kindle...I actually got started on The Art of the Deal a few months ago. Got sidetracked by many other things and projects. I think I will start over and finish it this time.

I also found I have a companion book to the Laws of Power: Greene's Laws of Human Nature. I think I will bump it up on the priority list.

I am all about understanding strategy, particularly the opposing side's basic playbook.

It is so easy for me to see, it is maddening sometimes when I see so many (particularly professed patriots) just don't see it, and fall for the same baited traps over and again.

Stuff happens.

"It's not happening fast enough for me to accept that it's happening!"

That’s what I think too. Twitter is going ballistic because the writing is one the wall, they’re going all out for MAXIMUM DAMAGE before POTUS fucks them up their commie ass.

The White House officially started gathering complaints from the public in 2019. It's hard to do anything when so many GOP Senators and Congressman are bought and paid off by Big Tech. You have to make it clear cut to them that Twitter has crossed the line. They have now. That's why you aren't seeing too much whining about censorship from the worthless GOP to this executive order.

  1. They needed to bait social media, in this case Twitter, into an indefensible position. That takes time.

  2. They needed to get the courts (and political landscape) in order to prevent the legal process from being railroaded. That also takes time.

Think of it this way, a Hollywood movie can easily take three years of planning before the shooting starts. This is much bigger and more complicated than a movie.

Lots of stretches here. My opinion.

Feels more like that Twitter investors will step in, oust Jack and key members of the leadership team. Money talks and bullshit walks.

That action will likely end up fracturing the internal culture at Twitter, the Twitter experience (whatever that actually is) will suffer and users will migrate elsewhere and the company itself will implode.

Happy that the President, FCC, DOJ, etc will help speed this demise along, but I suspect that the above is more likely.

Trump made a comment yesterday about what he can legally do and I think he's referring to the fact that seizing Twitter would be a 100% legal move, whether it looks bad or not. That's not a banana republic, that's just using the tools you have at your disposal

Right and that is the risk of being an investor/holder. I don't know anyone who would invest in Twitter, personally. I'm not arguing for "nationalizing" Twitter but I think that if they lose their section 230 immunity they will definitely face legal and financial issues, including the possibility of seized assets.

From an ideological standpoint an investment in Twitter is quite different from an investment in bitcoin. I think it depends a lot on one's worldview and how they think technology will trend.

To be fair, Twitter already IS nothing but a propaganda device. A very large portion of its "users" are bots.

Check the retard's post history before you give him too much credit.

To paraphrase another comment I made: I just want to shake these GOP politicians and scream DO SOMETHING! They've had YEARS to get something done, and nothing. Apparently Trump had something Twitter related drafted since early 2019 and only NOW felt they have crossed the line? Now, with just a few months to the election? With everything else they've allowed and disallowed? Plus, his EO doesn't have a lot of teeth.

I've seen endless posts over the years about something finally happening about all sorts of things, so while I would love to see social media put in its place, forgive me if I'm skeptical.

On the one hand I'd hate to see a private company nationalized because I'm not a communist and don't think it's the government's job. On the other, watching Jack be hauled off to federal prison would make my day...

This is why they started out by calling him a fascist. We've been in a "National Emgency" since 1979. They were just slowly boiling us. President Trump getting elected threw a wrench in all that. He was given dictorial power and they knew it causing them to REEE like no one's ever REEE'd before. Ever since they have been in complete panic and have been figuratelively, but now literally, trying to burn the place down.

Just allow the floodgates of lawsuits to commence and don't stop until Twitter looks like a Minneapolis Target.

Lmao please sticky this, Mods, just to get more people retweeting what Mr.Cruz is talking about.

If we took down twitter, it would be pretty funny to see the lefties scramble to myspace in droves

Sounds an awful lot like government overreach and a communistic action to me.

"We don't like what are you doing with your company, we will now assume control and "sell" it to someone who we can control."

No thanks. Don't want my government doing that, no matter who is leading the charge.

I can almost guarantee that there will not be any seizure of Twitter this year, especially in an election year, and probably never.

What realistically will happen, are lawsuits and fines. I don’t think Twitter even profitable so good luck them being able to pay all those legal fees and fines.
