McEnany says Trump will be signing an executive order on social media after Twitter fact-checked him

On Wednesday, according to CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany announced to reporters that President Donald Trump will be signing an “executive order” on social media.

McEnany did not elaborate on what this executive order would entail — but, as Collins noted, the announcement comes a day after Twitter appended a fact-check to a pair of Trump tweets.

The tweets in question claimed that mail-in voting will be “substantially fraudulent” because people can simply “rob” mailboxes or “forge” or “illegally print out” fake ballots — something for which he provided no evidence, and for which state election systems already have robust safeguards.

That thing is out of his fucking mind if he thinks he can issue an executive order regarding a private company OR mail-in voting. He thinks he's emperor. Asshole.

1. It will mean nothing

All he can do is vent.

[applegrove]

2. Sorry. Twitter is a private business.

[Freethinker65]

3. How about equal time for the Democrats for all of the free televised pro Trump propaganda briefings?

[fleur-de-lisa]

4. Meaningless.

And I bet his lawyers are telling him so tonight. Dumpus has talked about this before and it never went anywhere, because he doesn’t have the authority to do anything.

5. Go ahead asshole.

If you ever had a snowball's chance of doing well in the election you just blew it.
You won't even make it to the convention.

Vanity keeps persons in favor with themselves who are out of favor with all others. Shakespeare

[Brainfodder]

6. Like OBAMAGATE but with even more nuts?

Another nothingburger to grab attention to his ever increasing debt to society?

Haven't you not done enough already Death Count Donnie?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. Diaper Donny is about to get slapped

But he'll whine to all his sycophants.

[Shermann]

14. He'll blink before setting himself up to lose a fight

He's too clever for that. He manufactures these bogeymen so he can be the champion fighting for the poor victimized conservatives.

This is no different than fighting with the governors to get the churches opened.

It seems to make zero sense whatsoever until you realize the game.

[Tarc]

25. There isn't an ounce of cleverness in that tub of orange lard

People need to stop falling for the "very stable genius" shtick. Donald Trump is a reactionary, short-sighted bully. There is no long game.

[Shermann]

31. There's a lot of room between clever manipulator and stable genius

Let's not underestimate him again.

[sop]

8. Trump is unraveling in real time. He'll be having his Colonel Jessop moment soon.

[SeattleVet]

17. More like his Queeg moment.

"ahh, but the Twitter Feed that's...

that's where I had them.

They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... my Very Stable Genius you-know-what... that a duplicate feed to the fact check DID exist, and I was stifled by them, even though my original tweets are still there, but they put a link to the actual facts that would show that I was not right about something, and that ... that I was promoting a totally debunked conspiracy theory again.

[sop]

21. I considered a Queeg moment, but, in the end, he was seen as a sympathetic character who

cracked under pressure. Jessop, on the other hand, was an arrogant, evil bully, who broke down, confessed and was arrested for his crime. I can envision the moment when Trump finally breaks down and tweets out:

"We live in a country that needs walls! You want me on that wall, you need me on that wall! And Mexico's never going to pay for it! And you know what else! You're damn right I did it! I ordered the code red! I colluded with Putin to steal the election! I had Khashoggi cut up with a bone saw!"

9. I am curious to see how this plays out.

Thank you for the post.

10. Mac A Ninny Is Quite The Piece Of Work

$50 says she cheated her way through college. Or bribed!

[RainCaster]

12. Public records show McNinny voted by mail 11 times in last 10 years

So true to her word.

[Shermann]

16. Link?

Once or twice can be brushed off, but 11 times is going to be tough to tap-dance around.

For a week, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has defended President Donald Trump’s assault on vote-by-mail, insisting, like her boss, that it invites election fraud.

But, also like her boss, McEnany has taken advantage of its convenience time and time again.

In fact, the Tampa native has voted by mail in every Florida election she has participated in since 2010, according to a Tampa Bay Times review of her voting history. Most recently, she voted by mail in the state’s March 2020 presidential primary, just as Trump did after he made Florida his new permanent home.

Last week, McEnany, 32, said vote-by-mail was OK for Trump because "the president is, after all, the president, which means he’s here in Washington. He’s unable to cast his vote down in Florida, his state of residence.”

35. So, What You're Saying...

..is she's an idiot AND a liar!

[smirkymonkey]

20. There is no way this bimbo got through Oxford and Harvard Law School without cheating

or sleeping her way through. She is an absolute idiot. She started out at lesser schools to bump her way into the more prestigious ones, getting herself a prestigious degree but you can tell by the way she presents herself that she was no Summa Cum Laude, or even scraping by for that matter.

If I was a graduate of either university I would be insulted that she claimed to be an Alumnae. I think someone needs to do a little digging into her past. Seems like there are some Trump-like fabrications to me.

[bluestarone]

11. THIS kinda tells everyone what he WOULD DO if

He is elected in NOV.

[Beartracks]

13. Why do Republicans think Free Speech is a one-way street?

And why do Republicans think private businesses shouldn't be allowed to regulate how they conduct their business?

=======

[Shermann]

15. See post 14, it's not about free speech nt

[bluecollar2]

18. He'll get away with it...

In the grand scheme of things it's irrelevant if he can do it legally...

Rational people understand the first amendment...but his action is designed to appeal to the tea party supporters who believe that everyone and every agency is persecuting them.

With Hitler it was the Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Unions, Socialists, Slavs.....etc.

With trump its appealing to the base based upon a slightly different grouping....immigrants, China, Mexicans etc...

At some point between now and November our party needs to address this...

My suggestion....


Time to go find a bunch of Madison Avenue advertising professionals and get on with calling it...

[Windy City Charlie]

22. It's all calculated

Trump knows he hasn't got a leg to stand on. The only reason he did this today was because he knew the death toll was going to go above 100,000 and this stunt about social media is being used as a distraction. He's going to do everything he can to keep the media from making the death count from COVID be the lead story.

[Initech]

23. Man he can dish it out but he can't take it.

What a fucking whiny crybaby snowflake.

[grumpyduck]

24. If he signs that thing,

I'm reaching for the popcorn. Twitter et al have shitloads of lawyers, and they'll be joined by lawyers for the MSM. It's going to be a hellava show. And now the ACLU is getting into the act.

Unfortunately, yes, it will be a distraction from the Covid deaths.

Fuck him all the way to the edge of the universe and back.

Several times.

[kysrsoze]

32. A simple solution: Twitter should shut down Fuckface's account. That would be a good lesson in

what's free speech and what isn't. However, I doubt the Twitter CEO has the balls to do it. But he should, as this to me looks to be one of the most serious power grab attempts and is dangerously close to what dictators do in purging media and commentary they see as negative.

[grumpyduck]

34. Oh, he might have the balls,

but he wants that ad revenue.

[dawg day]

26. "An executive order saying that Twitter is a poopy head!"

At what point do the GOP leaders start backing away?

I'd be over the ridge already were I them.

[Cha]

28. We already know BLOTUS is out of his Fucking mind.. he's

done nothing but Distort reality for the world for decades.. especially after the Russians and their enablers rigged him into the WH.

[muriel_volestrangler]

29. "Donny was so sad after the big rocket didn't go up, that we gave him a new sharpie ...

... for being such a good boy on that looong trip down. And now he wants to use it on something! That's it, Donny, draw your name! If you're really good, we'll give you a box of sharpies in all sorts of colors for your birthday! That's coming up soon, isn't it, Donny?"

[Silent3]

30. Anyone else would have had their Twitter account suspended or deleted...

...for the shit Trump does with his. I wish Twitter had the balls to do just that.

[kysrsoze]

33. That's exactly what I was thinking. Take away Assface's megaphone. He'd lose it.

But you're right re: Twitter's CEO. He's a eunuch.
