Many of us shared Pragers concerns but we were forced to vote against Hillary because her Supreme Courts picks would have made the court dangerously leftist. But, https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v..._wrong_donald_trump_is_a_great_president.html On his Thursday radio show, Dennis Prager said Donald Trump "turned out to be a great president with big communication flaws." "My opposition to Donald Trump was wrong," Prager said. "People are packages. What a president does is more important to me than a president’s demeanor. He is so much better a president than Mitt Romney would’ve made." "Mitt Romney would’ve awakened every day to read The New York Times editorial page to see how he’s covered," Prager also said. "[Trump] doesn’t give a damn about what the press says about him. That is the only way to govern. It is the only way to advance the principles of conservatism in the United States is to not give a damn." Via Breitbart: DENNIS PRAGER: Would I like Donald Trump to have Mitt Romney’s temperament, or for that matter Barack Obama’s temperament? Yeah. So what? I would like a whole host of things. People are packages. What a president does is more important to me than a president’s demeanor. He is so much better a president than Mitt Romney would’ve made. Mitt Romney would’ve awakened every day to read The New York Times editorial page to see how he’s covered. Mitt Romney gave us Romneycare in Massachusetts. I campaigned for Mitt Romney, he would’ve been a better president [than Barack Obama]. Any Republican is better than any Democrat, that’s just the way it is. Having said that, Romney would’ve been a tepid president. Nothing comparably conservative compared to Donald Trump. The Heritage Foundation has just come out with a statement, a report, that he is more conservative than Ronald Reagan in the way he has conducted the first year of his presidency, which is accurate, something I have said on many occasions. He has turned out to be a great president with big communication flaws, in the way he tweets and some of the things he says and his temperament. It is fine, that is the way he is. My temperament is the opposite. I love dignity. I love understatement. Okay, so be it. So what? I’m not sure I’d be as good a president as he. How do you like that? That’s how good he’s been. The fact that he doesn't give a damn. I was wrong. My opposition to Donald Trump was wrong, in retrospect. I was wrong. I had friends who supported him, and I didn’t understand them. I said, "Are you not aware of what he said about John McCain? Isn’t that enough to disqualify the guy?" They perceived in him what I did not perceive in him, that these over-the-top statements – as objectionable as the statements themselves may be, and none of them defended the statements – nevertheless, what they perceived was accurate: a man who doesn’t give a damn about what the press says about him. That is the only way to govern. It is the only way to advance the principles of conservatism in the United States is to not give a damn. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v..._wrong_donald_trump_is_a_great_president.html
"nevertheless, what they perceived was accurate: a man who doesn’t give a damn about what the press says about him." Except he would completely crumble without his narcissistic supply from Fox and his old friend at Infowars etc. Prager is a weak minded old fool, full of it himself (PragerU? fuck off )and trying to stay in the game. Trump was an active pedophile/enable of pedophiles, for that alone he should die in prison. Had he not had a sister as a judge, his other criminal chickens would have come home to roost. Do a little research on his cocaine smuggling pilot who's case was moved to the sister's court (from another state). If he did things that flagrant, she must have saved his ass in many other ways. Trump is like a bed of nails to weak little minds like yours Tjustice and your new Asian sidekick. One, a few go through, hundreds, thousands, you stop feeling them. But that is you. No if you will excuse me, I have a party to attend.
Government regulation is coming to social media. And the social media companies have no one to blame except for themselves. Do I wish to see this happen? No. I generally don't support more regulation. But in this case the behavior of social media companies have been so unbalanced and politically biased that regulation of social media companies as media outlets is inevitable.
You may be correct but it isn't necessary. Theses companies should be treated as public utilities with respect to access to their platforms. Trump has all the power he needs to do it by order or agency regulation. He should also impose such obligations on financial intermediaries like payments processors. I have heard concerns that addressing this could be a wedge to bring back the notorious Fairness Doctrine, which supposedly required broadcasters to balance opinion viewpoints. Of course that has been a long-held goal of the left and democrats so as to kick conservative talk radio off the air. There is an obvious distinction however between broadcasters and social media. Broadcasters have a limited amount of time and spectrum. Forcing one viewpoint on forces another off. We might as well have only government-controlled media, which we pretty much have already. Social media by contrast can accommodate many different voices simultaneously and you can pick and choose whom to follow.
Facebook blames employee. Apologizes to PragerU. https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018...esponsible-for-prageru-99-9999-drop-in-reach/ PragerU’s recent Facebook shadowbanning was reportedly due to a single “employee error” — this employee has been sent for guideline re-education but is still employed by the company. Breitbart News spoke with PragerU recently following their issues with Facebook, the conservative non-profit found that many recent posts from their page were suffering from a 99.9999 percent drop in engagement based on Facebook’s own dashboard. The Social Media Masters of the Universe also pulled down two PragerU videos, which it labeled “hate speech.” Since then, Facebook has apologized to PragerU, stating that the removal of videos was an error. A Facebook spokesperson said in a statement: “The videos in question were mistakenly removed. While we continue to research what caused this error, we have restored the content because it does not break our Community Standards and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. more at link...
