When the Clintons are gone from this Earth, the right wing dipshits will go to the Zombie Clinton scare tactics. And plenty of morons will be on board 100%.
Curios what website that was from? Random googling lead me to this site, and saw something oddly similar (but different) one for trump. It’s interesting that trending hashtags are often searched on and commented on, which amplifies their trend, so you can start one with a bunch of bots, then it winds up in one of these lists, then everyone talks about it.
I’m glad I mostly rely on QT3 as my twitter aggregation site.
PS: Blame Canada!
I am no fan of Jared or his wife, but at least they don’t tweet shit like this.
I like the not so subtle inference that if DTJr owned twitter, of course he would control what he “allowed” to be trending to reflect his reality.

Yep, no Net Neutrality because big government, but yeah, we’ll regulate Twitter.
Also, bakers don’t have to bake a wedding cake for a gay wedding, but Twitter has to post Jacob Wohl’s messages or else.
Section 230 does not have a neutrality requirement, only a good faith one, so hopefully this bit:
is toothless.
But it will no doubt have a chilling effect, a la the conservative uproar about the IRS.
I do actually think Section 230 needs updating, but I don’t even begin to trust this administration/Senate to do it.
I took out a section on race and foreign ownership and I now see where the EO drafting team were inspired.
- We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life, and the closure of organizations opposing the above made demands.
I smell some First Amendment lawsuits coming.
Despite the recent affection for executive orders, they are as a means of policy quite weak, with restricted utility. I’m skeptical that Trump can do anything of substance to enforce any of this stuff.

Certainly there would be lawsuits quickly, but who knows how this Supreme Court will rule. I didn’t think they’d say it was Constitutional for the President to use the military budget like a slush fund.
First they have to recite the magic words: “National Emergency”
You can make up whatever bullshit you want–even veritable multi-layered onions inside onions of bullshit–if you control enough branches of government, I guess.
[edit]
That didn’t come out right. I will have to think about that metaphor more.

I’m not sure having John Kyl do the investigation of whether you have an anti-conservative bias is the best route to go.

They should have the government step in and regulate the dry unfair business of Facebook fact-checking articles.
