And he weaponized it and pointed that weapon at our heads.

Using it to collect untold riches from foreign governments, and turn our own psyches against it.

This alone is reason enough to impeach him, and ban candidates from social media.

Some Dummies immediately call the post wrong... but it's hilarious.

I'm going to ask Pacifist Patriot her thoughts about it... on her Twitter.

It appears to be "Franken was railroaded..." that would put a nail in the "believe all women" and "me too" hashtags.. wouldn't it?

What the DUmmie really meant:

Trump is a conservative.

This alone is reason enough to impeach him.

2. If you want young people to start voting, banning candidates from social media is counterproductive

It played a huge role in helping Obama get elected.

8. yea but Obama didn't use it to campaign and collect contributions


Is Trump more evil than Obama was good? (id have to think about that one) 

I think social media needs to be heavily regulated.

The one posting that silliness is professed lawnboy, "fescuerescue". I suspect the only grass he works with is what he smokes.

That said, Obama was the first President to use social media, and his campaign did so effectively. There's nothing wrong with going where the voters are, and the only ones for whom I have criticism in this respect are the Rs who ignored or used social media ineffectively.

Trump used social media effectively, especially in bypassing the MSM by his use of Twitter (and the MSM compounded the bypass by howling at his every Tweet, :rotf: !).

In either 2006 or 2008, can't remember which, I asked one of our local political people what had happened, and he filled me in on microtargetting. It was a little horrifying to realize how much info is out there on all of us which can then be used in such a way.

The DUmmies were just fine with it when it was Snarky McDouchebag and the Ds doing it.

Why do the DUmmies keep thinking Trump needs or wants more money?  He is well past the "money is how the super-rich keep score" level of wealth.

They keep thinking Trump is like the pikers that DID get rich at the taxpayer teat:  clinton, obozo, pelosi, warren, kennedy, etc. etc. etc.

Trump is in the Money Big League while those folk are in Little League.

 I think they muted me. I may tag her opponent in it.. Somone else under the tag "Bluewavecoming" posted a link to the DU "about us" page... stating that it was a dem board. I linked a lot of their posts in response... suddenly, that response was deleted. So I just retweeted the links. Shrugs
