Nope, that's not how this works. Free speech gives us the right to openly criticize your president-elect, just like y'all did to our president for eight years. Deal with it.

Have you ever heard of the concept of fairness?

How bout honesty?

Oh you want to talk about Trump and honesty?! By all means, let's have that discussion!

Okay... you find me a democrat in a state of the union screaming "YOU LIE!!!!"


Then perhaps find media on the left spreading conspiracy theories the likes of Jerry Falwell's "The Clinton Body Count."

I was not talking about your speech, I was talking about your ideas, and your morals.

Lefties have long used shame to get what they want, dont think that The Rebellion is unaware of this tool, or lacks the ability to use it well.

Congersmen Wilson was an immature jackass when he yelled this. He was also accurate in calling Obama a liar.

As for conspiracy Theory what aboit the 911 was inside job planned by Bush or Rather reporting fake news about Bush military service. The false claims of Romney not paying taxes.

911 being an inside job conspiracy was predominately a right wing attack. Just go back through Alex Jones Info-wars garbage reporting on it. Being accused of not paying taxes is not even close to being on par with the accusation of having murdered 30 something people.

The right certainly doesn't claim Alex Jones......He's just in the "nuts" category.....

A lie is a lie both sides of the isle are equally guilty of spreading lies about opponents to discredit them.

You seem to have certain levels of lying as acceptable, what line do you draw as one lie is ok and one not? Is it part lines, as you called yourself firmly left wing biased?

Are you actually saying that "you didn't pay taxes!" is the same as "you murdered 30+ people!" as being on the same level of lying because all lies are equal?

I dunno, I've only seen right-wingers in here citing his website as a credible source and Jones is claiming trump called him and thanked him for his support during the election.

Man I love it....libs cite a biased article that claims that the nut says that the President elect called him, with NO verification solely to pin that nut to us, and you want to cry about 'fake news'????? Give me a Yuge BREAK!!!

Only right wingers cite his website as a credible source. He's become right-wing MSM becuase the right wing has told us the usual MSM is not to be trusted and info-wars and breitbart are more reliable. It's funny watching you getting pissed about your own side's actions.

And I should believe this why? Because you say so? Yeah, I don't think so....Brietbart, and Info Wars are totally different in their approach, and delivery.....I am starting to see this as nothing more than you, and liberals wanting to control news output, and labeling opponents by tying them to obvious 'out there' sites....It is disingenuous to say the least.

Just remember to call infowars an "out there site" the next time one of your conservative brethren are linking to it a a viable source..

I am saying both are lied that need to be condemned. I am saying both sides Do this. You are the person trying to distinguish between what is acceptable lies ave what's not.


But all this is off topic of Trump and his Twitter account

To that point would like to see him use both as I stated earlier. Overall his use of Twitter is low on my list of crap to worry about

On one hand, I'm not a fan of it. It seems below the position.

On the other hand, I love how he can circumvent the news media altogether and virtually dictate their coverage any time he wants to.

This allows him filter-less access to deliver his message, without the media having time to manipulate and calculate a strategy on how to deliver it to us.

The media basically operates with their pants around their ankles with Trump. That is wonderfully hilarious.

Isn't it trump that has his pants around his ankles when Twitting?

I love his Twits, they show us who he really is, keep up it Donald.

No where did I ever start saying any lie is acceptable. That is you just making crap up trying to control the topic away and aim blame at me. Nice try, but its not going to work.

I'll see your spreading conspiracy theories with Former US Justice John Loftus claiming "The Bush family fortune came from the Third Reich," and raise you Harry Reid claiming Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years. Harry's a treasure trove of outrageous and stupid comments.

Oh I agree, you have Freedom of Speech to offer completely worthless analysis before Trump has taken office and we have Freedom of Speech to laugh ourselves silly because those opinions are hilariously devoid of value.

The consequence is when you really have something of importance to be complaining about, your credibility is already shot.
 
There is only one reason why Trump is using twitter, to remind the media that they need him far more than he needs them. He is rubbing their noses in it.

I'll take that as an obvious concession on your part.

So I guess you don't know about Prescott Bush's dealings with Nazi Germany until he got shut down in 1942 by the Trading with the Enemy Act and has his assets seized. So you might want to stick with untrue things if you want to decry conspiracy theory.


*edit... if you don't like that link... there's always this Fox News link.

Poll: Majority of voters want Donald Trump to ditch his Twitter account - CBS News



The poll: https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2405

My question is: If Trump abandons his personal Twitter account and uses the POTUS Twitter account do you think his style will change?
Click to expand...
Why would which acct he uses make any difference at all?

He uses the acct to set the record straight on his opinions. Im not seeing how changing his user name will change that.

I think he is setting a positive precedent for future presidents. People are hearing from him directly. I kind of like the idea of him using a personal acct to express his personal thoughts and having a gov acct to express offical gov statements. Its a good way to distinguish between which statements are opinion and which are policy.

Not only that but it also allows people unfiltered acess to his ear. We can twitter him our opinions back. It brings unprevedented acess between the potus and the people he represents.

I am not on twitter yet but i have decided to open an account so i can follow his tweets during his presidency. Twitter must be loving what he is foing for their stock value, lol
