The next step if posting in good faith would be to do your own research then to circumvent a source you won’t even bother to read. If I roll my eyes at someone’s citing the daily caller or gateway Pundit I can still go around and check if what they’re saying is disproven nonsense or if it’s a case of a broken clock being right twice a day. Just filibustering the conversation because you don’t like what color of plate the information came served on is disingenuous and nobody takes you seriously digging your feet in like this.

You can google “trump threatens twitter” and find all manner of pages that report on primary sources, like the presidents own tweets, that corroborate that headline. Acting as though you still aren’t sure if he threatened Twitter is impressing no one.

I had a look on Reuters under the Trump headline. I got this.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-trump/trump-to-propose-plan-to-make-u-s-immigration-more-merit-based-idUSKCN1SL2CX

Unrelated to the Twitter story but a great idea none the less. Similar to Australia and soon to be UK system.

Also an article about trump announcing he will ban tik toc. It's a short video sight for children and young people.

Trump threatens to shut down social media companies

One of many articles, from many different sources, dated May 27th

Agreed.

The guardian shouldn't be read by anyone

Again I'll ask the question, now that it's establish that he did previously threaten to take down twitter, do you take back what you said that he didn't

Indeed unrelated to what we’ve been discussing for the past page.

Is relevant to the election. It's a part of his plan.

Its difficult to see it passing through Congress though. But he has set out his stall nonetheless

And its all part of you plan to not read replies or sources that dispute you isn't it? You've form in the subject

Not really. Stop trying to force your ideas and beliefs.
I'm not interested in reading the guardian. I have repeated this numerous times.

You have no right

I'm not "trying to force" anything, I just think refusing to read an article because you don't like the source is a ridiculous stance to take. It's an easy cop out when you cannot refute the point being made.

Another Hollywood Access video has resurfaced, this time from Trump voting in the 2004 general election.

https://twitter.com/billkristol/status/1289250877169995776?s=21

He appears to have a hard time voting in person and ultimately fills out an provisional ballot. Well well well :rolleyes:

Reportedly the fault was of Don Jr filing a change of address.

In the segment, then-host Billy Bush accompanied Trump to three polling locations, but each time, Trump was unable to vote. After being redirected at the first stop, Trump said “I like that location better, it’s a richer location,” which prompted the first of many giggling fits by Mr. Bush.

Trump also berated his staff on the way out, telling them to “please ****ing get it right next time.”

At the second polling place, Bush joked to one voter “Your vote is one vote, his vote is a giant vote,” and Trump foreshadowed his election conspiracy obsession by pointing at a poll worker and saying “Make sure there’s no cheating here, right?”

Rebuffed again, Trump and Bush headed for a third location, where Bush intoned to the camera “If his name is not on these rolls, there will be a huge combustion in here.”

It wasn’t, so Trump declared “Well I’m going to fill out the absentee ballot.”

Trump also had an exchange with a man at the polling location whose face was blurred in the video, slapping him on the arm and saying “You didn’t do right by me. You didn’t do right by me Moe. You know that, right? You know that.”

Back in the limousine, Trump explained to Bush that “I saved that guy’s life and he forgot about it. I saved that guy’s life. He’s a scumbag, I saved his life and he forgot about it.”

He then filled out the ballot and declared “And I’ve just voted. At least you can say that trumpster doesn’t give up. Right? You got to vote.”

A junior high school in Indiana was in the first school district to reopen during the pandemic. They lasted a mere couple hours before shutting down again:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/01/us/schools-reopening-indiana-coronavirus.html

Halfway through the day health officials called the school to warn them one of their students had tested positive. The student had already spent hours mingling in the hallways and attending various classrooms. A good chunk of the student body that may have come into contact with him is now in a mandatory 14 day quarantine.

This is going to be a disaster if the DOE etc. don’t reverse course on reopening of the schools for in-person instruction.

Muahahaha

He really is mad that a grandmother was able to use TikTok to ruin his little rally

That comedian and mime artist Sarah Cooper who satirises Trump started out on TikTok as well and has millions of followers there. Trump is aware of her because he blocked her from his Twitter.

She uses Trumps own words to ridicule him and it has been remarkably effective. Even Trumps own supporters are now watching these videos and recognise the entertainment value in them. Her video on Person.Woman. Man. Camera. TV. has clocked over 11 million views across all platforms

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8oaaP68i4s

Arguably though her response to Trump suggesting that people inject disinfectant was her best work to date. Trumps own words just make things very easy for her to land a punch on him.

Not even remotely funny and 100% cringe inducing

You remind me of Trump when Obama wrecked him at the White House dinner a few years ago, the only person in the room with no sense of humour and who can’t take a joke...as the orange man himself would say, SAD!!!!

Cheer up man!!

So Susan Collins is getting raked as well today:

Click through for a thread on this. Not even the only campaign she’s run where all the people in her ad are actually Maine Republican politicians, which she fails to disclose in her ads:

She is saying Trumps exact own words, you called them cringe inducing a few posts back. You weren't wrong on that, many of his speeches and loose thoughts are cringe inducing.

She's a typical female comedian IMHO - unwilling to take risks. She plays it safe by cashing in on the orange man fad. But humor is subjective, feel free to enjoy her jokes if you like.
