Trump: The gag order also applies to members of congress and their opinion, therefore, is not welcome.
The paranoia of this regime puts the Nixon White House to shame.
You can’t force loyalty by fear Donald,
and your fear of free speech and Democracy is apparent.
He can’t use his greatest weapon as President—the NDA.
I’m quite certain he had no idea before running that there would be requirements of openness.
That isn’t going to stop him from trying, though.
I’d sign it for a job. It’s unenforceable.
Hey GoET, I was glad to see your Twitter account was restored.
The one about Trump asking people to pat his back… wow;)
Tagge: “How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?”
Tarkin: “The Regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in check. Fear of this battlestation.”
Oh, his gag order is quite illegal- at least in blocking people from talking to Congress. Oh, he could possibly block people from talking to the Press or the Public, but not Congress.
Sorry, I don’t know how to link, but there’s a great article at HuffPo about alt twitter accounts. It seems there are now half dozen rogue government twitter accounts:NPS, NASA, NWS, check it out.
It’s all so goofy, getting people to shut up. There’s so much comedy in everything he tries to do. Of course it’s not all funny but you have to laugh when wondering where all this comes from. And where it’s going. And now I’m not laughing. The dud’s trying to kill our Friday Free For All! Maybe we should just tell him his inauguration crowd was the biggest, bigger than even bigly.
What might happen if Putin hacked Trump’s Twitter account and started sending false messages?
How could we tell?
Response:
Dear Congress:
The Dear Leader has decreed that the gag orders are one step slightly below illegal. Know your place and shut your mouths.
Sincerely,
The Regime

I wish Man-Baby would institute a gag order for Oval Office personnel.
Shut the Fuck Up, Donny.
Poor PeePee - this is the first time in decades that he can’t require non-disclosure agreements from everyone he comes in contact with and he can’t forcibly gag anyone who speaks an opinion that he does not dictate.
One week in and this entire admin is even more disgusting than we could have imagined.
No it’s not, it’s exactly as disgusting as I imagined. Fuck you James Comey! I hope there is a Hell because I want you revolving on a spit for all eternity.
