73% of adults say Trump should be suspended or banned from social media for spreading conspiracy theories about coronavirus, per @MorningConsult. NBC’s @oneunderscore__ joins me 8aET to explain why rules against sharing false info online aren’t stopping the president. #velshi

They tossed Alex Jones, so why not another CT kook?

1. That would drive the Numbskull-in-Cheef absolutely berserk.

Maybe he'd counter it by having that OANN hammersack follow him around for the few hours he's awake and not crapping/snorting/golfing, and demand that all major networks air this daily 'briefing' in its entirety.

2. K and R

[samplegirl]

3. They should of

Scheduled golf games one after the other daily! Anything to keep him off his phone. I’m sure they all know some hookers in need!

5. ahem

6. Isn't there a quiet space for fronto temporal dementia patients to post?

If this guy were in your home, you'd get an evaluation right away!

7. 73% means a lot of republicans

they vote this way in an anonymous poll, but you will never get them to admit in discussion that they are embarrassed and disturbed by his tweets, even though they know they are.

[llmart]

9. The only reason Republicans would vote this way...

is because they are afraid what he posts is hurting his chances for reelection. In other words, they want him to hide the fact that he's a nasty ass creature.

Too late, Republicans.

[paleotn]

11. Yep....

you just can't put the nasty ass creature back in the bottle. In some ways it's a good thing that someone is actually saying what Rethugs have been thinking for years.

[Cosmocat]

16. YEP - why can't he be like the now 50% of other Rs who are stealthy

about being scumbags.

[Blue Owl]

8. Little Donny needs a time out

Put baby in the corner... permanently...

[paleotn]

10. Suspended?

I think he should be frog marched to the south lawn in chains and..... OK...I'll leave that right there. You fill in the rest as you see fit, but I have some vivid mental imagery of what comes next.

[DemoTex]

13. Exactly! To hell with the social media aspect.

This horrible man needs to be on trial for crimes against humanity.

[Bohunk68]

23. Been considering the French Solution.

What with PPV and DVD sales.

[blueinredohio]

12. If more people would drop their social media

and let them know why maybe they would think about dropping Trump. If they lose enough users.

[Soxfan58]

14. Maybe

A Twitter boycott?

[safeinOhio]

15. My poll question...

Would you allow him to be alone with your wife, daughter or grandmother for any length of time and would you loan him your life savings?

[Mercurian]

17. I disagree

I'm very much of the 'give him enough rope to hang himself' persuasion. His tweets and public statements are the best free campaign ads Biden could possibly want.
"Oft evil will shall evil mar."

[Laelth]

18. He would sue to have his account reinstated.

He would start whining about his rights being violated, and he would play the perpetual victim.

Better to just let him rant and then laugh at him.

19. The US Congress needs to look at how other countries restrict

fake or false news. Mexico has a federal law that says if public media publishes or broadcast fake or false news it will face criminal prosecution with a minimum of 5 years in Jail. One Mexican state, Puebla, the state legislature is considering a bill that will expand that law to individuals publishing on social media except the penalty would be increased to 12 years. Posting on Twitter, Face Book and other similar social media would be included. We would not have to depend on rules made by the social media platforms to not publish "fake or false information.

[reACTIONary]

21. Sure, instead....

We would not have to depend on rules made by the social media platforms to not publish "fake or false information.

Sure, instead we can depend on rules made by the federal government... i.e., Donald Trump.

[seta1950]

20. I wish

If all networks stopped showing him , twitter ban his account imagine the quiet we would have.

[Dukkha]

22. Right wing enabler & hypocrite Jack Dorsey will never comply.

Always giving him a free pass under the false guise of "free speech". Never mind the fact that 50% of the shelter at home protests and "plandemic" conspiracies on Twitter are known to be fake bot accounts. Of course they will never clean their house in Twit land as long as the billings in revenue keep pouring in.
