GOP Fundraising Arm Attacks Dems For Not Repealing Part Of Trump’s Tax Law | Talking Points Memo

Well, the way Morning Memo is set up maybe nothing’s really OT but seeing today that Trump is finally going to set up a real social media platform. I’m sure it will be just as successful as the shuttle and the steaks and all the rest, and there are interesting tidbits. They’ll have a subscription-of-course service with “non-woke” content like “Kitten Drowning Hour” and some of this sentence may be a joke. At least I hope so. It’ll be called TRUTH Social because someone’s incredibly good at naming things. You won’t be allowed to criticize it because of course.

The announcement I saw said it is called TRUTH Social, apparently because shouting is good manners in Trumplandia.

PRAVDA is its mentor as well as the original translation.

Your usual excellent summation, Cristina. (Joking …) Brings to mind the quote from Jeff Goldblum’s character in “The Big Chill,” “… long enough for the average two minute crap.” :slight_smile:

You say this as if it’s understood why and you assume people agree with you. That may not be true.

When joining up at Truth Social, the fine print reads that you can’t criticize the platform. Now that’s free speech. :grin:

Well, the way you establish that something is true is by shouting down someone you disagree with or who’s asking questions you don’t like. Goes like this: EXCUSE ME EXCUSE ME EXCUSE ME…

The GQP always expects the Democratic Party to clean up their mess since they don’t have a clue as to how to govern.
