So an executive order that adheres to the first amendment but only caters to conservatives.

This should be interesting.

Is Trump going to create a Ministry of Truth? I wonder who he’ll appoint (not nominate) as the first minister?

Trump is about to sign yet another impotent Executive Order. He’d best read the U.S. Constitution first, but the question as to whether he can actually read is still in question.

So warming up the good old deposition machine?

Does this question assume that Trump has even the slightest idea as to what “truth” is?

Kayleigh is the main contender, in fact, I think she may already be in office.

The worst abuser of twitter to spread his lies now wants to shut them down. I welcome twitter disappearing but how crazy is this that the liar in chief wants to shut them down.
The mania continues.

Pretty sure his legal advisors have drawn up some inconsequential verbiage that’s emotionally satisfying to the Toddler-in-Chief. If you google “Trump hereby order” you’ll see a precursor of this nonsense. Numerous commentators have pointed out already today that just saying what he said this morning is a serious abuse of power. But of course, TIC must have his little tantrum.

Really, someone should read the Constitution to this ass, or at least the Bill of Rights.

Of course, then someone will have to explain how the First Amendment Is supposed to work and the difference between Twitter — a private entity — noting that Donnie may be lying and the President of the United States — a governmental entity — ordering Twitter to do whatever he’s going to try to order it to do.

Doesn’t Trump have his “Ministry Of Truth” already…and it’s called OANN???

He wants to control all the “news” outlets, and I just bet he’s got someone real special to head the ministry.
The only question now is how is Barr’s DoJ going to enforce this?
