Trump-We Must Lock Off Part Of The Internet. - On Rachel Maddow Tonite.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Rachel showed a clip with Trump saying we must lock off part of the internet. We have foolish people being influenced. One company is moving its historical archives to Canada so it cannot be seized or compromised.

Internet access is the last place a person can get information. I guess Trump prefers the Chinese solution of only approved sited and approved news. The internet is one place that can hold Trump accountable and he cannot accept that reality.

He and the GOP can hide all their mayhem if they restrict internet access.

1. Rachel looked upset tonight.

[LisaM]

5. Oh she did, did she?

Funny how a lot of us were upset at a steady 15-month diet of Trump and endless stories on email. And debates that never even brought up climate change or things like net neutrality.

6. I don't think those were

Rachel Maddow's doing. She didn't run the debates, and she is pretty damned liberal and covered a lot of negatives on trump.

I share your frustration w/ the bigger msm picture, tho.

[LisaM]

9. But post debate, did she ever say it?

I watched the debate coverage pretty thoroughly and I never heard her call anyone out.

[longship]

14. I listen to her every night.

You're just plain wrong.

Sorry.

[LisaM]

16. I don't mean that she isn't liberal.

I have been folliwing her since she had her one-hour radio show, and when she had rhat show with Tucker Carlson. But during this debate cycle, I don't recall her questioning the topics that were chosen for the debates. I thought they were terrible (the topics) and other broadcasters should have pounced on that. Now everyone is griping that rural America was ignored but I sure didn't hear any questions about that at the debates either.

17. She pulled a lot of punches when we needed them to be thrown most

2. Holy shit!!

3. The Internet Has Been A Headache To Him. He Will Take Revenge.

4. Story about Internet Archive creating a back-up in Canada here:

Trump def admires dictators, doesn't he? Trying to emulate them.

7. Donald "Minority Rule" tRump clearly doesn't have the slightest idea how any of it works.

He's constantly discussing specialized topics where he has zero specialized knowledge. He can't even use the language right -- "Pathological illness -- you can't cure that!" :hurl:

He seems to think the Internet is all stored somewhere, and you can just put a guard on the door and tell some people they can't come in. That's not much better than the "series of tubes" model.

Jail flag-burners, put a turnstile on the Internet. Simple-minded "solutions" from a simple-minded bully.

8. He doesn't need the details

There are enough cronies and henchman who will actively work to carry out his ideas if he can generate enough enthusiasm behind them.

[pangaia]

13. He doesn't even need the enthusiasm behind him..

We're fucked.

11. Just when we thought print media was dead.

15. Interesting. Thanks!

18. Thanks media

19. Net neutrality, beloved by Netflix, looks headed for the ax under Trump

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028307264

Though Net neutrality wasn't a constant topic for Donald Trump as a candidate, he has been an opponent of the regulations, calling the FCC's adoption "a power grab" by President Obama in a tweet in 2014.

The president-elect's latest appointments suggest he'll try to bolster that view, supported by telecommunication companies such as Verizon and others, by reversing the rules

[yuiyoshida]

20. Will Democratic Underground be forced to shut down by

The Trump Administration? Will all liberal websites be put to the sword? That would be very scary.

21. If he closes the internetS, next he'll hire trolls to follow us around & butt into our conversations

with people at meeting places like bars, restaurants, coffee shops, parks, etc.
